This appendix logically follows Chapter 13, “Word Embeddings from word2vec and GloVe.”
The word embeddings we discussed in Chapter 13 come with some limitations that more recent embedding schemes have addressed. Specifically, the embeddings we discussed have no way of handling out-of-vocabulary words, even if the new word is just a minor variation of a known word. For example, consider a case where the word dog was included in the training data, but its plural version dogs was not and hence does not have a corresponding embedding. It would be useful to have an embedding scheme that somehow can handle this case.
A different limitation is that there is only a single embedding corresponding to ...
