\bf{Abstract}  The word2vec software of Tomas Mikolov and colleagues1 has gained a lot  of traction lately, and provides state-of-the-art word embeddings. The learning  models behind the software are described in two research papers [1, 2]. We  found the description of the models in these papers to be somewhat cryptic  and hard to follow. While the motivations and presentation may be obvious to  the neural-networks language-modeling crowd, we had to struggle quite a bit to  figure out the rationale behind the equations.  \bf{Can we make this intuition more precise? We’d really like to see something  more formal.}
