Most neural architectures for machine translation use an encoder-decoder model consisting of either convolutional or recurrent layers. The encoder layers map the input to a latent space and the decoder, in turn, uses this latent representation to map the inputs to the targets.
A vast amount of today’s information is stored in relational databases. These databases provide the foundation of systems such as medical records, financial markets, and electronic commerce.
There are times when word vectors are initialized to lists of random numbers before a model is trained for a specific task, but it is also quite common to initialize the word vectors of a model with those obtained by running methods like word2vec, GloVe, or FastText.
