The problem is simple but solution is not. ChatGPT doesn't really give an answer.

What i want is to group the "apple" together, strawberry together in a big corpus of data.

These are also noisy and really different since there is shiny apple, blue apple etc..

And another problem is that i don't have an exact name called "apple", i want the program to find the canonical entities by itself without having an input, it is not a zero-shot thing.

What should i do?

i mean i dont ask for a how of spesific dupe just want to learn how dupes generally work

O dönemi giriş niteliğinde en azından daha iyi anlamak istiyorum açıkçası, Bakkhalar'ı okuyacağım da, kitabın giriş kısmında buna yer verilmemiş.

Günümüzden bakıldığında Dionysos'un temsil ettiği taşkınlık, arzu, aşkınlık gibi sınırların zorlanışı çok garip geliyor bana. Yani günümüz dünyasında arzu, ihtiras kötü sayılırken hatta nefis diye direkt bir yabancılaşma, ötekileştirme geçirirken o dönemde Yunan toplumunda böyle bir tanrı nasıl "meşru" olabilmiş ve kabul görebilmiş? Yani o dönemde de günümüzdeki gibi "ahlak bekçileri" olduğunu varsayıyorum ama yılın belli dönemlerinde meşru ayinler de düzenlenirmiş.

Birisinin bu Dionysos'un temsil ettiği şeyleri reddetmek de o zaman günah mıydı acaba ama kabul ettiğinde de sıkıntılar doğuyor, burada bir tezatlık yok mu?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about Dionysus and ancient Greek religion. From a modern perspective, the things Dionysus seems to represent — excess, desire, ecstasy, transgression, and the crossing of boundaries — feel quite strange to me. In much of the modern world, desire and passion are often treated as morally suspicious, or even as something like a “lower self” (translation note: what i really mean is *nefis* in Turkish) that should be controlled, alienated, or repressed.

So I am wondering: how could a god like Dionysus become legitimate and widely accepted within Greek society? I assume that ancient Greek society also had its own forms of moral guardianship, social restraint, and concern for order. Yet, as far as I understand, there were also officially recognized festivals and rituals dedicated to Dionysus at certain times of the year.

Would rejecting what Dionysus represented have been considered impious in some sense? But if accepting Dionysus also meant accepting forces that could threaten social order, is there not a contradiction here?

I am asking because I am about to read Euripides’ Bacchae, and I want to understand the historical and religious background more clearly before starting. The introduction in my edition does not really address this issue.
