Interesting podcast, I wished they talked more about how he came up with word2vec and how he went from the initial idea from the Czech language (I think that's what he said) into the word2vec we all know.
I also liked how this podcast was conversational like the interviews in the talking machines podcast. I look forward to the future episodes.
- nl 10y agoI think most people who have worked in computational linguistics or natural language processing for a while would have some idea of words existing in some kind of vector space. The things which still amaze me are that meaningful vector operations work (Queen + Man ~= King), that you only need 300 dimensions (or sometimes even less!) and that it is possible to build this vector space so "easily".
