Last edited: August 8, 2025the transformational generative syntax is a linguistical precept proposed by Noam Chomsky which has the interesting conclusion that meaning is supported by structure, rather than the other way around as generative semantics suggests.
This means that you can first come up with generic, independent structure to a sentence, then fill in the sentence with meaning.
For instance, “colorless green ideas sleep furiously” is a sentence Noam Chomsky proposes to have perfect structure but failes to be filled with meaning, supporting the transformational generative syntax theory.
Transformer Speech Diarization
Last edited: August 8, 2025Background
Current deep-learning first approaches have shown promising results for the speech text diarization task. For ASR-independent diarization, specifically, two main methods appear as yielding fruitful conclusions:
Auditory feature extraction using deep learning to create a trained, fixed-size latent representation via Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients slices that came from any existing voice-activity detection (VAD) scheme ((Snyder et al. 2018)), where the features extracted with the neural network are later used with traditional clustering and Variational Bayes refinement ((Sell et al. 2018; Landini et al. 2022)) approaches to produce groups of diarized speakers

Spectrum of Translation
domestication and foreignization are processes by which a translator can choose to alter the style of a translation for a purpose.
foreignization
trying to bring the target language closer to the source language
- bring in foreign words
- use colourful idioms
- use old words
domestication
trying to bring he source language closer to the target language
