What is the meaning of Embedding?

The act or process by which one thing is embedded in another.

A map which, in any of several technical senses, represents the containment of one structure inside another.

  1. A continuous map which is also a homeomorphism between its domain and its image (considered with the subspace topology induced by its codomain).
  2. An immersion which is also a topological embedding; equivalently, a diffeomorphism whose image is a submanifold of its codomain.
  3. A ring homomorphism between fields (the name deriving from the fact that all such maps are injective).
  4. A map between metric spaces which preserves distances up to some scaling factor (called the distortion).
  5. A injective morphism in a concrete category which is also initial.

A continuous map which is also a homeomorphism between its domain and its image (considered with the subspace topology induced by its codomain).

An immersion which is also a topological embedding; equivalently, a diffeomorphism whose image is a submanifold of its codomain.

A ring homomorphism between fields (the name deriving from the fact that all such maps are injective).

A map between metric spaces which preserves distances up to some scaling factor (called the distortion).

A injective morphism in a concrete category which is also initial.

A representation of a unit of text (such as a word or token) as a vector, which encodes the context in which it is used.
