Thanks Adam! It's nice work and it seems like there's a pretty epic dataset to analyze at x.ai. My main confusion was what the visualized vectors represented, but I guess you've answered that by saying they're the first layer in your model (if I'm interpreting correctly). What I don't quite understand is how you got the word vector from the inputs. It sounds like you represent each word as a one hot encoding (similar to indexes), and then you pass this one hot encoding through the first layer giving you the word vector for each input?

That's right. The weights that connect the Nth neuron in the one-hot input layer to the embedding layer can be thought of as a vector encoding of the Nth word in the vocabulary.
