embedding

Noun

 * 1) The act or process by which one thing is embedded in another.
 * 2)  A map which, in any of several technical senses, represents the containment of one structure inside another.
 * 3)  A continuous map which  is also a homeomorphism between its domain and its image (considered with the subspace topology induced by its codomain).
 * 4)  An immersion which is also a topological embedding; equivalently, a diffeomorphism  whose image is a submanifold of its codomain.
 * 5)  A ring homomorphism between fields (the name deriving from the fact that all such maps are injective).
 * 6)  A map between metric spaces which preserves distances up to some scaling factor (called the distortion).
 * 7)  A injective morphism in a concrete category which is also initial.
 * 8)  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.
