I do not want to be too much of a downer, but is there something keeping us from just using the traditional verbiage we've used in the community for years and call it "projecting into a shared latent space" (or something bland but descriptive that a researcher like me could quickly latch onto, like 'separate key and query encoders')?<p>I understand that proprietary names are necessary to sell ideas, architectures, etc, but projecting things into the same latent space is an....old concept, that, like the old Ecclesiastes verse, come up in new and unique ways/applications. Though there is nothing new under the sun, indeed.<p>Please forgive this stodgy young person. Frippery and grumpiness are a deep skill of mine, and I apply it to my own DL research as well. I do not want to discourage the author from writing more pieces, explaining concepts is I believe a great trend to have in a community.<p>Thank you and curious for anyone's thoughts. <3 :) :')))) <3
