Continuous Bag-of-Words Word2Vec is an architecture for creating word embeddings that uses n future words as well as n past words to create a word embedding. The objective function for CBOW is:

J_θ = 1/T∑ᵀₜ₌₁logp(wₜ|wₜ₋ₙ,…,wₜ₋₁, wₜ₊₁,…,wₜ₊ₙ)

In the CBOW model, the distributed representations of context are used to predict the word in the middle of the window. This contrasts with Skip-gram Word2Vec where the distributed representation of the input word is used to predict the context.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (6 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
