If you look up a word in the dictionary, you’ll find it is described using other words. The mathematically-inclined among us (and machines are very much mathematically inclined) might notice the relationship between this property of language and the ability to describe vectors in terms of other vectors. Such linear algebra doesn’t even rise to the level of artificial intelligence, and instead follows a long tradition of developing mathematical analogues for physical phenomenon like the orbits of the planets or the transverse lengths of rectangular corn fields. Algebraic projections of language, or “embeddings,” are merely the first step in building a translation or natural language system.
