NLP has traditionally mapped words to discrete elements without underlying structure. Recent research replaces these models with vector-based representations, efficiently learned using neural networks. The resulting embeddings not only improve performance on a variety of tasks, but also show surprising algebraic structure. I will give a gentle introduction to these exciting developments.
