Skip-gram Word2Vec is an architecture for computing word embeddings. Instead of using surrounding words to predict the center word, as with CBow Word2Vec, Skip-gram Word2Vec uses the central word to predict the surrounding words.

The skip-gram objective function sums the log probabilities of the surrounding n words to the left and right of the target word wₜ to produce the following objective:

J_θ = 1/T∑ᵀₜ₌₁∑_(-n≤j≤n, ≠0)logp(wⱼ₊₁|wₜ)

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (14 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).
