I found it quite interesting. If I recall correctly, Google uses the same method to build its Knowledge Graph. They use a similar vector technique to figure out what the subject of a photo is, for example.

It's just completely mind-blowing to me that it works at all. It's like "Hey, here's a bunch of words and a rule for turning them into lists of numbers! If you do math on the numbers and convert them back to words, the results make sense!" How bizarre is that? The whole "king - man + woman = queen" example is just insane.
