Dictionary meaning
A representation of words as dense, real-valued vectors in a continuous vector space, in which semantically similar words are mapped to nearby points, enabling machine learning models to capture meaning and relationships between words mathematically.
Examples
- Word embedding techniques like Word2Vec and GloVe allow models to understand that 'king' minus 'man' plus 'woman' approximates 'queen'.
- Word embeddings are typically pre-trained on large corpora and then fine-tuned for specific tasks.
Synonyms: word vector, distributed word representation
