Words as Numbers

Computers only work with numbers, so every AI turns words into lists of numbers first. Done well, words that mean similar things get similar numbers. You will tap around a real map of cannabis words and see what the model thinks is close, including one it gets wrong.Why counting words is not enough, how an embedding turns a word or a paragraph into a list of numbers so that similar meanings land close together, how closeness is measured (cosine similarity), and what that makes possible: search by meaning.From bag-of-words and TF-IDF to learned dense embeddings (word2vec's distributional hypothesis, contextual sentence embeddings), cosine similarity, a real embedding map of 30 cannabis terms, and the failure mode of embedding bare keywords.
