Domain-specific

• Bag-of-words model
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.

Mechanisms

• Vector Embedding Model
  • The reason any of this encodes meaning at all is the distributional hypothesis — the idea that items appearing in similar contexts tend to carry similar meaning

    This sourceShows that words with similar distributions across linguistic environments tend to share meaning.
