Description

The comment
"This approach isn’t perfect either. Since the representation is now based on characters rather than words, one could argue that, intuitively, it’s less meaningful: each character doesn’t mean a lot on its own, whereas that is the case with words. "

should likely read
"This approach isn’t perfect either. Since the representation is now based on characters rather than words, one could argue that, intuitively, it’s less meaningful: each character doesn’t mean a lot on its own, whereas that is **not** the case with words. "

I am assuming the implication when saying " whereas that is the case with words." is that each word means a lot on it's own. However, when put in the context of the prior (negative) assertion "each character doesn’t mean a lot on its own", it seems the appropriate follow up ought to be that it is **not** the case with words (that "each character doesn’t mean a lot on its own")
