[D] Is embedding layer and fully connected layer the same thing for one hot?
Embedding layer is essentially a lookup into an array while fully connected layer is full matrix multiplication.
However, for one-hot encoding, there is one 1 value in the whole input layer, so when you matmul, you are getting different weights for every input neuron. Therefore, I believe it should be the same as an array lookup. Is this true?
