# MLCEmbeddingLayer

A layer that stores a word embedding.

```
class MLCEmbeddingLayer
```

## Topics

### Creating Embedding Layers

[`init(descriptor:weights:)`](/documentation/MLCompute/MLCEmbeddingLayer/init(descriptor:weights:))

Creates an embedding layer with the descriptor and word embedding weights tensor you specify.

[`MLCEmbeddingDescriptor`](/documentation/MLCompute/MLCEmbeddingDescriptor)

A configuration object you use to create an embedding layer.

### Inspecting Embedding Layers

[`descriptor`](/documentation/MLCompute/MLCEmbeddingLayer/descriptor)

The configuration object you use to create the embedding layer.

[`weights`](/documentation/MLCompute/MLCEmbeddingLayer/weights)

The weights tensor that contains the word embedding.

[`weightsParameter`](/documentation/MLCompute/MLCEmbeddingLayer/weightsParameter)

The tensor parameter that describes the weights for the optimizer update.
