👍 Improvements

• Optimize Poincare model training (koiizukag, #2589)

⚠️ Deprecations (will be removed in the next major release)

• Remove

  • gensim.models.FastText.load_fasttext_format: use load_facebook_vectors to load embeddings only (faster, less CPU/memory usage, does not support training continuation) and load_facebook_model to load full model (slower, more CPU/memory intensive, supports training continuation)
  • gensim.models.wrappers.fasttext (obsoleted by the new native gensim.models.fasttext implementation)
  • gensim.examples
  • gensim.nosy
  • gensim.scripts.word2vec_standalone
  • gensim.scripts.make_wiki_lemma
  • gensim.scripts.make_wiki_online
  • gensim.scripts.make_wiki_online_lemma
  • gensim.scripts.make_wiki_online_nodebug
  • gensim.scripts.make_wiki (all of these obsoleted by the new native gensim.scripts.segment_wiki implementation)
  • "deprecated" functions and attributes

• Move

  • gensim.scripts.make_wikicorpus ➡ gensim.scripts.make_wiki.py
  • gensim.summarization ➡ gensim.models.summarization
  • gensim.topic_coherence ➡ gensim.models._coherence
  • gensim.utils ➡ gensim.utils.utils (old imports will continue to work)
  • gensim.parsing.* ➡ gensim.utils.text_utils
