Thank you! One part of the explanation is that we focus primarily on AI research, and a substantial chunk of physicists gravitate (heh) towards AI research, so we end up capturing more of their work. Another part of the…
> I made it to the first figure in the paper before I raised an eyebrow at this term. I came up with that name, and fair eyebrow. Think of an "atom" as a unit of a working vocabulary (a "token"), not a Platonic form.…
We haven't done concrete measurements yet, but my intuition is that the quality of Lacuna proposals is a function of density of topics / research directions. Lacuna is most dense around AI topics; for neighboring ones…
