To do so, they genetically engineered aged mice to activate cellular reprogramming genes in response to EMFs. They applied the EMFs cyclically to induce cyclic cellular reprogramming
Embedding „meaning“ in vector spaces goes back to 1950s structuralist linguistics and early information retrieval research, there is a nice overview in the draft for the 3rd edition of speech and language processing https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/5.pdf
Depends on how many people know about it and might interprete it as some kind of association. I would be sceptical to use 88 as a designation, at least in Germany. See 4 or 13 for numbers avoided in other cultures (for non-political reasons).
One argument for SVD is the low reliability (as in results fluctuate with repeated experiments) of word2vec embeddings, which hampers (qualitative) interpretation of the resulting embedding spaces, see: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/C/C16/C16-1262.pdf
Similar punishments are prescribed by the Old Testament, so not specific to Islam. Luckily religion was replaced as a moral and especially legal guideline in "the West" thanks to the Enlightenment and the French revolution.
I wonder if they use some kind of (neural) language model for their translations. Using only a dictionary (as in the text) would be about 60 years behind the state of the art...
With no ill intent: I'm a bit skeptical about software quality / test coverage after finding a bug in the linear algebra implementation - I would not use it for production right now.
Sounds less magical…
