The Invention of Word2Vec (Word Embeddings)

    Tomas Mikolov and his team at Google published a landmark paper introducing the Word2Vec architecture. By training shallow two-layer neural networks (Continuous Bag-of-Words and Skip-gram) on massive text corpora, they proved that human words could be mapped into continuous vector spaces where semantic and syntactic relationships are preserved as pure linear geometry (e.g., the famous vector equation: King – Man + Woman = Queen). This breakthrough permanently replaced sparse symbolic text tokens with dense semantic embeddings, setting up the future of natural language processing.
