Documentembedding refers to the process of representing documents as numerical vectors in a high-dimensional space. These vectors, often called embeddings, capture the semantic meaning and relationships between words and phrases within a document. The goal is to transform unstructured text data into a format that machine learning algorithms can understand and process.

Various techniques are used for document embedding, including statistical methods like Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and probabilistic models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). More recently, neural network-based approaches, like Word2Vec and GloVe, have gained popularity, where words are embedded first and then aggregated to form document embeddings. Advanced models like Doc2Vec, or paragraph vectors, directly learn document embeddings. Transformer-based models, such as BERT and its variants, can also generate contextualized document embeddings by processing the entire input sequence.

The resulting document embeddings have numerous applications. They are crucial for tasks like document similarity analysis, where the cosine similarity between document vectors can indicate how alike two documents are. Other applications include document clustering, text classification, information retrieval, and question answering systems. By converting text into a numerical representation, document embedding enables efficient and effective processing of large text datasets for various natural language processing tasks.
