Embedding

An embedding is a mapping of a discrete categorical variable with a vector of continuous numbers. For example, a 300 dimensional embedding for English words could include: blue: (0.01359, 0.00075997, 0.24608, ..., -0.2524, 1.0048, 0.06259) blues: (0.01396, 0.11887, -0.48963, ..., 0.033483, -0.10007, 0.1158)
