embedded vector
Notation sway absorption:
Mathematically.
In mathematics, embedding (うめこみ, embedding, imbedding) is a monjection such that the structure between mathematical structures is preserved.
But in this case, the original set is just a discrete set, so there's no particular structure to preserve.
Therefore, the expression "embedding vector" may not be very appropriate, but it is quite common to call the layer responsible for this process "embedding layer" in the field related to natural language processing by neural net. It can't be helped. ---
