what is a word vector

hey @Par1hsharma,
you might about dimensions and vectors ,
a vector say for example ( a,b,c ) has a meaning and represents a particular value.

Now , according to this , we as a human can easily understand how it shown where it is shown , but also limited to 3 dimensions only. But computers , don’t have any such restriction , they can understand the things in n- dimensions.

So, now one problem with computers is that , they can’t understand text , they need values which they can convert in binaries and understand it. So , to make then understand text we convert text into numbers.

Now , you might be thinking that we can just simply give each word a number and computers can understand it then. Yes it can be done , but with you can understand there relations with each other. Hence , we represent each word in form of a vector , means we can point to any point in a n-dimensional space and that point would represent a word , or maybe a group of words.

Those , vectors for that word are called word vectors.

I hope this helps.
