I was learning about the Word2Vec model, and the following equation was shown:
$\huge{p(o|c) = \frac{exp(u^T_ov_c)}{\sum_{w\in{V}}exp(u^T_wv_c)}}$
in words, the probability of the context word given the center words is equal to the right hand side, where:
$u^T_o$ is the word vector for the context word
$v_c$ is the word vector for the center word
$w\in{V}$ is any word in the dictionary $V$.
I get the intuition for some of it. by using softmax on $u^T_ov_c$, we get a probability distribution that highlights the higher values while still applies some probability to the lower values (as opposes to hard max).
what I don't get - is what is the proof that the probability distribution on the right hand side it the same probability distribution as the left hand side? in other words, what justifies the equality sign in the equation?
I could not find the answer in the original Word2Vec paper.
