word2vec

Python interface to Google word2vec.

Training is done using the original C code plus some patches, the other funcionality is pure python + numpy.

Installation

pip install word2vec

I highly recommend the use the Anaconda python distribution

Usage

The easiest way is to look at this examples: word2vec and word clusters

The default functionality from word2vec is also available from the command line:

• word2vec
• word2phrase
• w2v-distance
• w2v-word-analogy
• w2v-compute-accuracy

Development

2. run the make file inside word2vec-c
3. export the new bin directory to PATH
