New framework links language redundancy to semantic text structure

Researchers have introduced a new framework to understand the statistical organization of language, linking its redundancy to hierarchical semantic structures. By using large language models to recursively segment texts into semantically coherent chunks, they created "semantic trees." The study found that the entropy rate of these semantic trees closely mirrors quantities measured by LLMs and varies with text complexity, with simpler texts exhibiting lower entropy and more complex ones like poetry showing higher entropy. This suggests that the hierarchical semantic organization of text plays a significant role in its overall information transmission rates. AI

IMPACT Provides a new method for analyzing text complexity and information transmission rates using LLMs.

    Semantic Chunking and the Entropy of Natural Language

    arXiv:2602.13194v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humans and large language models can predict next letter or word from its prior context much better than random guessing, indicating strong redundancy of language viewed as a stochastic process. Quantitatively this redunda…
