1. **Word Embeddings**: In the context of NLP, word embeddings are dense vector representations
of words in a continuous vector space. Each word is represented by a fixed-size vector, with each
dimension of the vector capturing different aspects of the word's meaning or usage.
2. **Learning Word Embeddings**: Word embeddings can be learned in two main ways:
- **Pre-trained Embeddings**: Word embeddings can be pre-trained on large text corpora using
unsupervised learning techniques such as Word2Vec, GloVe, or FastText. These pre-trained
embeddings capture semantic relationships between words based on their co-occurrence patterns in
the text.
- **Contextualized Embeddings**: Contextualized embeddings, such as those produced by models
like ELMo (Embeddings from Language Models) or BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations
from Transformers), take into account the context in which a word appears in a sentence. They
generate word representations that vary depending on the surrounding words, enabling them to
capture nuances in meaning and usage.
