Just as "Hello, World" may be the best-known general programming introductory example, Mikolov, who was then at Microsoft Research, also introduced what fast became a benchmark equation in natural language processing at the 2013 proceedings of the North American Association for Computational Linguistics, the kingman+woman=queen analogy, in which the computer solved the equation spontaneously.
Since the ACM has professional editors, I was surprised that they would twice misrepresent the example "king – man + woman = queen" as "kingman+woman=queen" in the article. At least they spelled "Hello, World" right, even if they couldn't bring themselves to add the "!".
It looks like the problem is that in the PDF version, the phrase happens to be hyphenated at the "minus sign" in both usages (http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/2880000/2874915/p13-goth.pdf http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/2880000/2874915/p13-goth.pdf) [1] although one might hope this is something an editor would have checked.
