word2vec-1's Introduction
Tools for computing distributed representtion of words
------------------------------------------------------
We provide an implementation of the Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBOW) and the Skip-gram model (SG), as well as several demo scripts.
Given a text corpus, the word2vec tool learns a vector for every word in the vocabulary using the Continuous
Bag-of-Words or the Skip-Gram neural network architectures. The user should to specify the following:
- desired vector dimensionality
- the size of the context window for either the Skip-Gram or the Continuous Bag-of-Words model
- training algorithm: hierarchical softmax and / or negative sampling
- threshold for downsampling the frequent words
- number of threads to use
- the format of the output word vector file (text or binary)
Usually, the other hyper-parameters such as the learning rate do not need to be tuned for different training sets.
The script demo-word.sh downloads a small (100MB) text corpus from the web, and trains a small word vector model. After the training
is finished, the user can interactively explore the similarity of the words.
More information about the scripts is provided at https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/
