week 7 notes: logical sequence about "levels" of n-grams
opened this issue · comments
I've been reading your notes and examples about Markov chains, I like them a lot and they have inspired me to build some things. Thank you for making them public! (And sorry for messing with your issues!)
I just wanted to point out a detail that I found confusing while reading:
After the interactive demo of n-grams, where we can "enter some text there" to get the n-grams for a given n at the word-level*, you returned to the to be or not to be example but now with n-grams at the character-level* without any notice. At first it happened to me that, although you previously mentioned the existence of different element types for n-grams, I got confused about the tokenization and construction of the model discussed in the remaining text.
* I also read the Allison Parrish's references that you linked, hehe
Thanks for this comment! I'm going to return to all of this stuff later summer as I get ready for the 2016 version of this course and will look at clarifying!
