What are embedding diagrams?

Imagine you have a big box full of different toys, and you want to know how they are related, like which ones are similar or very different from each other. Embedding diagrams help us see this relationship visually, just like when you sort your toys on the floor by size or color.

Think of each toy as a special kind of code, and the box is like a secret place where all these codes live together. When we make an embedding diagram, we're taking those codes and drawing them out in 2D (like a piece of paper) so you can see how close or far apart they are from each other.

Suppose your toys are words, like "cat", "dog", and "car". If we draw an embedding diagram, "cat" and "dog" might be near each other because they're both animals, while "car" would be somewhere else. It's like having a map of the toy world where everything has its own special spot!
