i had cause to think about the distinction between deep vs. shallow embeddings today for the first time in awhile and, as usual, my intuition gets them backwards. (the agreed-upon mapping seems to be shallow = "encode object language with corresponding meta-language constructs" and deep = "encode object language as uninterpreted data in the metalanguage".) why is it like this?
