"Meaning is this illusive thing that were trying to capture" (Richard Socher in CS224D Lecture 2 - 31st Mar 2016 (Youtube))

[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0]

with one 0 for each word in a vocabulary where the 1 is representing the place of a word in the vector > In this kind of vector representation: none of the words are similar, they are all a 1.

Note that

"Words are represented once in a vector. So words with multiple meanings, like "bank", are more difficult to represent. There is research to multivectors for one word, so that it does not end up in the middle." (Richard Socher, idem.)]
