To analyse the results we chose to use the test provided by BIBREF10, which consists of $19\,791$ analogies divided into 19 different categories: 6 related to the “semantic" macro-area (8915 analogies) and 13 to the “syntactic" one (10876 analogies). All the analogies are composed by two pairs of words that share a relation, schematized with the equation: $a:a^{*}=b:b^{*}$ (e.g. “man : woman = king : queen"); where $b^{*}$ is the word to be guessed (“queen"), $b$ is the word coupled to it (“king"), $a$ is the word for the components to be eliminated (“man"), and $a^{*}$ is the word for the components to be added (“woman"). 
 Question: Are the word embeddings tested on a NLP task?
Yes
