  _latent dimension_ — in the channel's captured material, a dimension of an
  underlying (latent) meaning space along which a model measures something
  continuous, such as emotion in Hume's **semantic space theory** of voice and

## Definition

_latent dimension_ — in the channel's captured material, a dimension of an underlying (latent) meaning space along which a model measures something continuous, such as emotion in Hume's **semantic space theory** of voice and face, rather than assigning it to a discrete label.

Explore how **_latent dimension_** is used in this channel's material. The term appears in the Alan Cowen episode, where Hume's emotion model is framed around **semantic space theory** — reading emotion from voice and face as positions along dimensions in a continuous meaning space rather than as fixed, discrete categories. Jump into the moments that carry the evidence. [^2c6179aa-ba58-5cc8-93bb-8237043cde99@72]
