Deep Learning - Convolutional Neural Networks with TensorFlow - Embeddings

The video tutorial explains the limitations of one-hot encoding for representing words in neural networks, particularly in large datasets. It introduces embedding layers as a more efficient alternative, allowing words to be represented as meaningful vectors. The tutorial also covers a coding trick to efficiently use embedding layers and discusses the training of embeddings, including the use of pre-trained vectors like Word2Vec and GloVe.
