Clarifications on M and N

[chen-yingfa]

It is still not clear to me, after reading README, what M and N actually means. My current understanding is that the input context is split into N chunks of equal lengths, and each "counting star" sentence is inserted between every pair of chunks. If this is the case, what does M determine?

Thanks in advance.

We add a figure in the README to explain the idea of the Counting-Stars, which also explains the parameters M and N.

If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know.

Forgive me for still not understanding the image in README, what does "counting times" actually mean? In the first column, what if the "counting times" is 20, does it mean that there are 20 different locations with "xxx counting xxx stars" inserted?

[nick7nlp]

yes

[chen-yingfa]

So the "counting stars" sentences do not have to be inserted on the boundaries of chunks? If so, what is the meaning of chunking?

[nick7nlp]

我明白你的意思了，我又更新了下README里的图了，这下应该没有歧义了。谢谢你哈。
