In the model, the process of sentence generation is expressed as a tree graph with nodes having symbols as variables. Theoretical analysis reveals that the distribution of symbols on a layer or a node of the tree follows a kind of Markov chains, strongly suggesting that no phase transition occurs. This is in contrast to previous studies, and indicates that the existence of phase transitions requires a complex model that cannot be reduced to a Markov chain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-05-03T13:20:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random language model", "markov chain", "phase transition occurs", "complex model", "human language" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
