Original Highlight Excerpt
"The autocorrelation function of an AR(p) process is a sum of decaying exponentials."
Whisper Note
So basically the memory fades out smoothly, like echoes getting quieter.

Original Highlight Excerpt
"Large language models are called autoregressive, but they are not a classical autoregressive model in this sense because they are not linear."
Whisper Note
Wait, I thought autoregressive just meant predicting the next word, why the linear caveat?

Whisper Note
So they just borrowed the name but the math is totally different?

Original Highlight Excerpt
"autoregressive (AR) model is a modelled representation of a type of random process"
Whisper Note
I used to think AR meant something from my car stereo. Learn something new every day.

Wait, so AR models aren't for predicting the future? Just describing the past?

So basically it's just saying history repeats itself, but with math.
