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
