Embeddings

• Embeddings are underrated. Machine learning (ML) has the potential to advance the state of the art in technical writing. No, I’m not talking about text generation models. The ML technology that might end up having the biggest impact on technical writing is embeddings. What embeddings offer to technical writers is the ability to discover connections between texts at previously impossible scales.
