arXiv:2610.06919v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper concerns how semantic context determines geometry in learned vector representations. Similarity is typically measured using cosine similarity, which provides a single fixed geometry. Semantic similarity, however, is inherently context dependent: two images may be similar because they depict the same object, share a visual style, or are relevant to the same clinical finding. We show that contrastive representations naturally encompass a family of geometries that can be specialized to particular semantic structure. The key idea is to use an interplay between contrastive learning, exponential families, and information geometry to establ
