Building Word2vec in TensorFlow

The rise of TensorFlow over the past year has been amazing. It is now one of the most popular open source projects on GitHub and certainly the fastest growing deep learning library available. At the time of writing, it has amassed more GitHub stars than Linux, with 42,769 and 40,828 respectively. It is also incredibly portable, running on a multitude of platforms, ranging from Raspberry Pi, Android and Apple mobile devices through to 64-bit desktop and server systems. Furthermore, in May 2016, Google announced the creation of its tensor processing unit or TPU, which is a custom ASIC built specifically for machine learning and tailored for TensorFlow, which now operate in its data centres. So long-term investment and support is there.
