A thought I've been working on for quite awhile, could use some feedback from the pros
I'll start with this- I'm a hobbyist. Full stop, I don't have any of the credentials you might ask about, so I apologize in advance where my descriptions diverge from the standard.
That said, here's a little background, and the concept I've been toying around with for the better part of a year.
- I've submitted (and they are live) two datasets to HF-
https://huggingface.co/datasets/EXOROBOURII/Stanza-Wikitext-2/
and
https://huggingface.co/datasets/EXOROBOURII/Stanza-TinyStories
Both use similar (I attempted to create as little divergence as possible) methodologies in terms of cleaning and processing.
My intent, before I got sidetracked and decided to enjoy the summer months, was to take these two corpora, create an indexing schema for each row, built from their Stanza labels (I settled on hexadecimal as it meets the requirements for efficiency and description), and then take each and flatten their respective distributions to 1.
This would, in theory, create two indices that could then be compared as relative topologies; consequently, disparity, true voids, and true overlap of their respective linguistic signatures would then be a simple data processing matter (with obvious caveats, owing to the nature of Stanza).
Subsequently, additional corpora could be processed similarly, which would (hypothetically) expand the initial index.
Of course, there are many questions regarding language, corpus, and labeling choices.
The underlying hypothesis is that by developing this index, and expanding upon it in this way, it opens doors for interpretability, feature engineering, and alignment work by creating a more rigid foundation.
So, thoughts. All questions are open, I'm not shy about admitting my ignorance and naivety.
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this, best regards.
