Language understanding entails not just extracting the surface-level meaning of the linguistic input, but constructing rich mental models of the situation it describes. Here we propose that because processing within the brain’s core language system is fundamentally limited, deeply understanding language requires exporting information from the language system to other brain regions that compute perceptual and motor representations, construct mental models, and store our world knowledge and autobiographical memories. We review the existing evidence for this hypothesis, and argue that recent progress in cognitive neuroscience provides both the conceptual foundation and the methods to directly test it, thus opening up a new strategy to reveal what it means, cognitively and neurally, to understand language.Understanding Eulers Number

GPT-style models predict the next token, embedding models output a single fixed-size vector.Book: Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions
This book reveals and studies a common and fundamental problem behind almost all modern practices of (artificial) intelligence. That is, how to effectively and efficiently learn a low-dimensional distribution of data in a high-dimensional space and then transform the distribution to a compact and structured representation? For any intelligent system, natural or man-made, such a representation can be generally regarded as a memory or knowledge learned from data sensed from the external worldChromadb Basics
