Two variants were proposed in<cite> (Mikolov et al., 2013a</cite> ) -SKIP-GRAM, which maximizes the log likelihood of the local context words given the target word, and CBOW, which maximizes the log likelihood of the target word given its local context. We report empirical results with CBOW since it was computationally faster than SKIP-GRAM while giving similar results in our early explorations.
