Word embeddings in my reader for Special Issue 5

Algolit @ Varia

I participated in the Algolit session of March 17th and learnt about word embeddings. This is a way of unsupervised machine learning where an algoritm turns text into numbers and places them in a multi dimensional space. The relative distance between specific words is the result of how often they are placed close to each other in the original text.

Using scripts from the Algolit Git I made a representation of the word embeddings in my reader for SI5. The script was based on the word2vec example of Tensorflow. Using dimension reduction it was able to represent a 21 dimensional space of words, into a 2d graphical representation.
