In describing #wordembeddings to sociologists unfamiliar (disinterested?) with #computationalsociology, do I need to get the reader on board with the idea of words as vectors? Thoughts @DustinStoltz @LauraK_Nelson @chris_bail
Some people are not mathy. Thinking I can convey the hermeneutic potential of embeddings& #39; multidimensionality and view of context similarity without needing them to grasp the geometry of it all. Some people hear geometry and run, including some cultural sociologists!
