Word embeddings build on the idea that words that occur in similar contexts tend to have similar meanings. In spite of both sharing "context" as a key component, word embeddings have been scarcely applied in disability. In this work, we propose social media (particularly, Reddit) to link them.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of our study is to train a model for generating word associations using a small dataset (a subreddit on disability) able to retrieve meaningful content.
