Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We derive a probabilistically grounded definition of paraphrasing that we re-interpret as word transformation, a mathematical description of wx is to wy . From these concepts we prove existence of linear relationships between W2V-type embeddings that underlie the analogical phenomenon, identifying explicit error terms.
