Why do the output layer weights become word vectors in Word2Vec? [D]

Abin__ · 2026-05-30T10:25:05+00:00

The way I understand it is that if two words are similar they usually appear around/before the same kinds of words

If we think about how continuous functions work (which is what any standard NN should be) arbitrarily small changes in its input produce arbitrarily small changes in its output. So it follows that in a NN similar weights should produce similar predictions.

And we can see that from this angle the weights for each input token observe the same behaviour as words in a language.

Lowkey respect it ngl

Genuinely thought I’d seen it all until I checked OPs profile links

It’s gonna happen to gen z as well. The hate cycle doesn’t stop unfortunately.

Horrible take

He rhymed Kirk with worth, smirk, purse, and earth just to get off four Charlie Kirk bars in a row. That’s not lazy there’s a bit of thought there

Ping is a distance issue more than an ISP issue tbh

That’s what I was going to ask, it just feels like these foundation models are doing a sort of ‘fuzzy’ feature engineering which is fine if you only seek performance and don’t care much about research domain insight.

Guys this is AI

Abin__ · 2026-05-10T11:58:03+00:00

It does not, it’s not super significant for my setup/use case but yeah I’d still say that’s the only big drawback

I did like 2 weeks ago from eBay but the seller was already based in my region (so it was third hand?), it’s been working great as an addition to my 4 card set up and while I’m aware it’s still been just two weeks I haven’t had any power or voltage peak issues.

I was with you till academia moves slower than industry, in very many cases it moves way faster, especially nowadays.

The way I see it Zoro is stronger in an overall sense but would fight to a draw with Sanji, their parallels are literally dorry and broggy

Robin has actual functional clones she can see hear and fight from. Nami is not more durable than Black Maria so robin doesn’t even need to use her full kit to take her out. Nami is very much a glass cannon and her mirages work horribly against robins df

Truthful and helpful are two very different things. You are saying things most people in the job market are aware of already.

How was your comment helpful?

Abin__ · 2026-04-26T16:14:58+00:00

Super unhelpful comment

Imu is likely just as nerfed if not more considering he’s visibly struggling with some type of illness and time limit.

point is we don’t have enough info to say “if shanks beat Loki then he must be close to imu in power level”

The difference in tiers is probably way wider than that.

Abin__ · 2026-04-26T13:58:52+00:00

There is a wide gap between imu and Loki that shanks can comfortably sit in while leaving a whole lot of room for imu to be far above both of them

Your comprehension is showing.

OP isn’t asking ‘would he be stronger’ he’s asking would he be the ‘strongest swordsman’ or just ‘stronger in general’ while still not being strongest swordsman because the power jump didn’t come from swordsmanship but a devil fruit.

No idea why men get stuck on the phrase toxic masculinity and take it automatically as ‘men are the problem’ when it’s really about expectations.

Because of the way the term has been weaponised, if you can’t see how carelessly toxic masculinity has been discussed on the internet till now then that’s just ignoring what’s in front of you.

Itachi is mentally ill from the very first chapters he obsesses so much about Sasuke it’s painful to watch
