Yesterday I spent the morning on work research into how humans cope with language ambiguity, and found a dozen new vocabulary words like “scalar implicature” and “island boundaries”. Once on campus I switched back to SQL optimizations for an hour or two before meeting with F and B about levels of abstraction in semantic parsing. Excellent snack, some more SQL stuff (somehow I’m running 200 queries every time I build an intent frame, which is ludicrous). Home, sat for a bit, dinner. I’m experimenting with tomatillo; this time added sugar which made for a weird texture. Crossword, Gentleman Jack, snack, sleep. Still reading Storm and Fury; they’re actually talking to each other now, which is helping a lot.
