This interview is incredible. I have been studying referentiality for over 20 years now and this lecture connected a lot of dots. I love the resurgence of realism in the context of linguistic and cognitive scientific analysis of LLMs. Can you interview someone who can explore the process of vector representation of words? I want to know a lot more about that. So cool. Keep doing the good work.

Thank you so much for listening and for the kind words! To your question: for the audience we usually target this is actually pretty well known—if you look up “word embeddings” I think you’ll find far more than you need about that process 🙂 And expect a few more interviews on this topic coming up!

I would love a follow up episode that goes into some of the questions you both touched on towards the end. There's a whole series you could don with Prof. Millière.
