@fredy_pferdi I was imagining that after listening to the audio representations of embedding vectors for a while a person could get a grasp of the "vibe" of some data just from the sound. Then they could get information out of embeddings in a similar way to a machine trying to do the usual cosine distance between two vectors. Like, what if we could navigate our timeline with sounds before we bother converting them to speech or actually reading the text.

@fredy_pferdi Oh! No more like, if you train a model with its own internal representation of concepts, could a human learn a similar structure by listening to the embedding vectors translated to something like intensities of different harmonies. e.g. given a 1d embedding, each float would be the intensity of a specific frequency.

@fredy_pferdi Fully sober! What seems confusing? By embedding vectors/spaces I mean the ones in machine learning contexts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedding_(machine_learning)

E.g. inside an autoencoder.

You think we could teach human brains about embedding spaces by turning embedding vectors into audio and giving people tools to navigate the sound and the meanings at the same time?

So eepy

These guys are pretty cool. Kinda a mix of psychedellic and punk? #music #Ottawa

Wish I had more brain power after work so I can tinker more. I end up spending my weekends out and about with loved ones in meatspace so my cyberself's growth has been slower lately.

I love hookah which is why I only allow myself to use it once every few weeks. 🥲

What's a reasonable price to pay for a single track on bandcamp? Idk what artists expect. This is a mostly unknown local band
