This question seems more vague one as you are more mentioning about NLP models in general, so can I know if you have completed NLP specialisation first, so that I can understand your understanding of basic embedding before replying to your query.

I think we can describe an answer generally as being a transformation of a natural (N) language (L) vocabulary into:

  1. a numerical representation
  2. of a lower dimension than the vocabulary itself.

This is what allows the processing (P) to occur within manageable computational resources.

Details of how this is accomplished and how it is used in a particular NLP model or application depends on the task and technology as suggested above.
