1.介绍
首先，word2vec 和 word embedding 两者并不是平级的，其都属于 语言表示（Representation）的范畴。
语言表示（Representation）是将人类的自然语言表示成计算机可以处理的数值形式，一般的方式有独热表示（one-hot Representation）、分布式表示（Distributed Reprensentation）等。
分布式表示（Distributed Reprensentation）又包括基于矩阵、基于聚类、基于神经网络的方式，一般将 基于神经网络的分布式表示 称为 词嵌入（word embedding）。
而 word embedding 又包括很多不同的算法集合，或者叫做实现工具，比如 SEENA、FastText、word2vec 等。
具体的关系如下：
Representation → Distributed Reprensentation → word embedding → word2vec
具体可参见如下文章word embeding
word embeding and word2vec
以及邱锡鹏《神经网络与深度学习》表示学习章节
2.word2vec
为什么要是用word2vec（相对于one-hot编码）
- 更dence（与one-hot的sparse相对）
- meaningful ，one-hot作为一个稀疏矩阵，我们无法得知连个向量之间的关系，而word2vec可以求出两个向量的关系，如上图，我们可以通过求距离的方式得知，machine 和learning的相关性更高。
- 容量大：简单的来说及时，one-hot 一个单词可能需要一个维度，这就造成one-hot矩阵十分的巨大，然而，word2vec这种分布式表示方法，可以用有限的维度，表示无限的单词，因为向量里的数是实数。
3.怎们求
事实上，比较容易想到的直觉的方案，就是一句话中里的最近的一般相关性会高一些
比如下面这句话：
We are working on NLP project, it is interesting
对于这句话来说，we are 的相关性显然高于 we 和 NLP或者其他的词相关性。这也印证了上面说的直觉的方案，也为我们提供了思路：
1.Skip-Gram Mode
Skip-gram算法就是在给出目标单词（中心单词）的情况下，预测它的上下文单词（除中心单词外窗口内的其他单词，这里的窗口大小是2，也就是左右各两个单词,那么 NLP的上下文单词为：working，on，project，it）
对于如下：
We _working _ NLP project, it is interesting，在语料库的训练下，想要求的working两边的的词可能是什们（事实上还有一种CBOW的这里暂时不讲，有兴趣的可以参看论文链接）。
怎们求呢：
因为我们要求working两边的的词可能是什么，其实就是求和working相关的词，那么怎们才算相关度高（相邻的词），那就相当于在某种语料环境下（We are working on NLP project, it is interesting），让这个词working左右两边出现的词的概率最大max（P(xxx|working)），在概率最大的情况下进行一个softmax变换，在概率最大约束的情况下求出参数（u，v）,求出词和词之间的word2vec向量，具体的形式就是如下图，根据条件概率转换为softmax，然后求Word2vec，
word2vec
经过如上图的训练就出U，V矩阵，也就是word2vec
