I have been reading a lot of papers on NLP, and came across many models. I got the SVD Model and representing it in 2-D, but I still did not get how do we make a word vector by giving a corpus to the word2vec/skip-gram model? Is it also co-occurrence matrix representation for each word? Can you explain it by taking an example corpus:
Hello, my name is John.
John works in Google.
Google has the best search engine.
Basically, how does skip gram convert John to a vector?

Word2vec is a technique for natural language processing published in 2013. The word2vec algorithm uses a neural network model to learn word associations from a large corpus of text. Once trained, such a model can detect synonymous words or suggest additional words for a partial sentence.
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 continuous skip-gram model learns by predicting the surrounding words given a current word. In other words, the Continuous Skip-Gram Model predicts words within a certain range before and after the current word in the same sentence. The Continuous Bag of word predicts word provided neighbour context.
In the CBOW model, the distributed representations of context (or surrounding words) are combined to predict the word in the middle . While in the Skip-gram model, the distributed representation of the input word is used to predict the context .
Word2Vec Skip-Gram Word2Vec is a group of models that tries to represent each word in a large text as a vector in a space of N dimensions (which we will call features) making similar words also be close to each other. One of these models is the Skip-Gram.

These are covered in part 2 of this tutorial. Did you know that the word2vec model can also be applied to non-text data for recommender systems and ad targeting? Instead of learning vectors from a sequence of words, you can learn vectors from a sequence of user actions.
When Google published its paper on Word2Vec, it used a 300 dimension vector representation and the training is done on Google News articles. This article only covers the details of the initial implementation ofWord2Vec using the Skip-gram model.
I think you will need to read a paper about the training process. Basically the values of the vectors are the node values of the trained neural network.
I tried to read the original paper but I think the paper "word2vec Parameter Learning Explained" by Xin Rong has a more detailed explanation.
