Title

A friendly introduction to word embeddings

Abstract

We will discuss the limitations of traditional textual data representation methods and explore how we can do better.
In the process, we will learn how to encode words into vectors and apply simple arithmetics to discover the secret identity of superheroes from the Marvel Universe and build a cross-language search engine to recommend questions from Quora.com.
