Word embedding

Word embedding is a way of representing words with numbers. We can use these numbers to figure out how words are related to each other. Imagine that you had two pictures of a cat. They look very different, but you know that with both pictures, it's a cat. Word embedding is like that - it looks at words and figures out what the words mean and how they are related to each other, even if the words look very different.
