Talk:Semantic decomposition (natural language processing)

Review needed
Thsi came through AfC. It appears well referenced and detailed but could use a good review by someone that is an expert in this area. A previous creation by tue same writer was deleted Articles_for_deletion/Self-explaining but the type of page is very different. This one is much longer and heavily sourced than the deleted one. This is not a copyvio. Legacypac (talk) 02:51, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Moving back to the more general title
while the article needs a fair amount of work (regardless of what title it is eventually kept under), I'd argue that this article already includes content about semantic decomposition for contexts other than AI. Most of the content in the article is relevant to semantic decomposition as an algorithmic technique regardless of the intended application of the results, and is thus relevant to fields outside of AI. Several of the cited articles are not primarily about semantic decomposition's AI applications. Moreover, based on my familiarity with the subject in a professional capacity, I don't really see any need for differentiating between semantic decomposition in AI contexts and in more general contexts, as the strategy is ultimately the same (the only difference is what you do with the output). In a similar vein, we don't have separate articles for Part-of-speech tagging in AI, computational linguistic research, etc., we just have one article for the technique that covers all contexts. signed,Rosguill talk 22:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * With the caveat that I don't have much of a background in semantics, I would think that "semantic decomposition" could refer to other things, like the breaking up of a sentence's meaning into its constituent "meaning" units, or the decomposition of lexical items into semantic features or semantic primes This is the stuff of cognitive linguistics, or "pure" semantics, and it has little to do with the topic of this article. Well, how about a title like Semantic decomposion (algorithm/s) (with or without parenthesis), or maybe Semantic decomposion (natural language processing)?– Uanfala (talk) 22:45, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a good point. I think Semantic decomposition (natural language processing) is a good fit. Looking through Google Scholar results for "semantic decomposition", it appears that this phrase is used to refer to (what appear to be) separate concepts in NLP, logic, and pure linguistics , although NLP-related papers appear to be by far the most common usage of the term. In light of this, should we set up a DAB page? signed,Rosguill talk 23:24, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, this titlel sounds good, and I think we can safely rename the article. As for the dab page, at the moment, I don't have the time to have a rigorous look at the litetarure to figure out precisely what is meant by the term, but if you have any solid definitions, feel free to start one. – Uanfala (talk) 08:41, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
