Abstract

My paper with Patrick Hanks on PMI (pointwise mutual information) was the most successful paper I ever wrote, or ever will write. I believe the paper was successful because it appealed to a number of different audiences for a number of different purposes. Patrick Hanks was more interested in applications in lexicography and I was more interested in applications in engineering. The first section on background will discuss the role our PMI paper played in moving computational linguistics from Rationalism to Empiricism. The second section will connect the dots between PMI and much of the recent excitement in Artificial Intelligence over bots like DeepSeek and large language models (LLMs).

从PMI到Bots

我和帕特里克·汉克斯（Patrick Hanks）合著的关于PMI（点对点互信息）的论文是我写过的、或者将来会写的最成功的论文。我相信这篇论文是成功的，因为它吸引了许多不同目的的不同受众。帕特里克·汉克斯对词典编纂方面的应用更感兴趣，而我对工程方面的应用更感兴趣。关于背景的第一部分将讨论我们的PMI论文在将计算语言学从理性主义转移到经验主义方面所起的作用。第二部分将把PMI与最近人工智能领域的许多热点联系起来，比如DeepSeek和大型语言模型（llm）。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Lexicography was launched in 1988. Interdisciplinary as well as international, it is concerned with all aspects of lexicography, including issues of design, compilation and use, and with dictionaries of all languages, though the chief focus is on dictionaries of the major European languages - monolingual and bilingual, synchronic and diachronic, pedagogical and encyclopedic. The Journal recognizes the vital role of lexicographical theory and research, and of developments in related fields such as computational linguistics, and welcomes contributions in these areas.
