Spectroscopy of Plastic Polymers (Research Notes)

This article is a simple set of notes and links for some research into the practicality of spectroscopy methods for use with plastic polymers.”Polycarbonates contain several phenyl-based molecular groups, which are very energy-rich due to the π electrons of the double bond in the ring. In fluorescence, electrons can be lifted into higher energetic orbitals

Experiments with Generative Text Models and Vector Databases

The concept of embeddings (See [1]) utilizes vectors, hyperdimensional space, matrix algebra and ultimately hardware architecture to embody the fully realized mathematical object nature of a vocabulary of words and their semantic meaning. The use of these mathematical objects, the vector class, allows for similarity evaluation at a higher level of information abstraction than simple
