Transfer Learning with Word2Vec

Transfer Learning with Word2Vec uses word embeddings pre-trained on large text corpora via the Skip-gram or CBOW objectives introduced by Mikolov et al. (2013) to initialize the embedding layer of a downstream NLP model. This approach transfers distributional semantic knowledge to tasks where labeled data is scarce, consistently outperforming random initialization.
