Introduction to Word Embedding

Humans have always excelled at understanding languages. It is easy for humans to understand the relationship between words but for computers, this task may not be simple. For example, we humans understand the words like king and queen, man and woman, tiger and tigress have a certain type of relation between them but how can a computer figure this out? Word embeddings are basically a form of word representation that bridges the human understanding of language to that of a machine. They have learned representations of text in an n-dimensional space where words that have the same meaning have a similar representation.
