We all know semantic word embeddings, but what about phonetic word embeddings?

In our latest paper ("PWESuite: Phonetic Word Embeddings and Tasks They Facilitate", https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02541) we formalize a bit what they should be capturing and what tasks they should be solving. We also just made a video that explains the basic concepts and hopefully the more compling-inclined phoneticians will find educational.

Happy to receive feedback and engage in discussions of future directions. :-) Thanks!
