Dear lbrtchx
Yes, indeed, it is possible for a string (or an expression or a lexical item... etc.) to refer to different things based on different contexts. One could refer to it as polysemy (or not). Many fields have shared vocabulary items. Same character or character strings can be used in ways that show differences "in nature"/"by definition" (i.e. different due to discipline-specific, historical reasons) or differences in practice (which could be more general/generalized). Esp. in an engineering field nowadays, a term used for/in practice is likely to gradually take over the one favored historically over time.
Then again, Is your inquiry more about vocabulary use, or for what reason are you asking your question(s)?
Best Ada

Oh! Am I silly! ;-) That is why I was noticing a really strident impedance between what they were saying and what we, Mathematicians, mean by, have been taught to understand as:

I was fancying self-describing decentralized hyper-forests of text segments out of which a Language's grammar could be derived ... and based on such totally off the mark, fanciful ideations I was trying to somehow figure out how to describe the inner intersubjective aspects of valuation through tensor planes ... there I went. ~ On 7/24/23, Darren Cook darren@dcook.org wrote:

By the way, this is probably veering off-topic for corpora-l.
datascience.stackexchange.com is quite a good place for questions about
transformers, embeddings, NLP, etc.
As a TI I can't use stackoverflow, stackexchange ... (they start road blocking you in really obnoxious ways) I can't even visit public libraries in "'the' 'land' of 'the' free ...", "because" they blacklisted me in the FBI criminal index (believe me, you would laugh about it if you could if you knew me)
