models.wrappers.varembed – VarEmbed Word Embeddings

models.wrappers.varembed – VarEmbed Word Embeddings

Python wrapper around Varembed model. Original paper:”Morphological Priors for Probabilistic Neural Word Embeddings”.

Notes

  • This module allows ability to obtain word vectors for out-of-vocabulary words, for the Varembed model.

  • The wrapped model can not be updated with new documents for online training.

class gensim.models.wrappers.varembed.VarEmbed

Bases: gensim.models.keyedvectors.Word2VecKeyedVectors

Python wrapper using Varembed.

Warning

This is only python wrapper for Varembed, this allows to load pre-trained models only.

accuracy(questions, restrict_vocab=30000, most_similar=<function WordEmbeddingsKeyedVectors.most_similar>, case_insensitive=True)

Compute accuracy of the model.

The accuracy is reported (=printed to log and returned as a list) for each section separately, plus there’s one aggregate summary at the end.

Parameters
  • questions (str) – Path to file, where lines are 4-tuples of words, split into sections by “: SECTION NAME” lines. See gensim/test/test_data/questions-words.txt as example.

  • restrict_vocab (int, optional) – Ignore all 4-tuples containing a word not in the first restrict_vocab words. This may be meaningful if you’ve sorted the model vocabulary by descending frequency (which is standard in modern word embedding models).

  • most_similar (function, optional) – Function used for similarity calculation.

  • case_insensitive (bool, optional) – If True - convert all words to their uppercase form before evaluating the performance. Useful to handle case-mismatch between training tokens and words in the test set. In case of multiple case variants of a single word, the vector for the first occurrence (also the most frequent if vocabulary is sorted) is taken.

Returns

Full lists of correct and incorrect predictions divided by sections.

Return type

list of dict of (str, (str, str, str)

add(entities, weights, replace=False)

evaluate_word_analogies(analogies, restrict_vocab=300000, case_insensitive=True, dummy4unknown=False)

Compute performance of the model on an analogy test set.

This is modern variant of accuracy(), see discussion on GitHub #1935.

The accuracy is reported (printed to log and returned as a score) for each section separately, plus there’s one aggregate summary at the end.

This method corresponds to the compute-accuracy script of the original C word2vec. See also Analogy (State of the art).

  • case_insensitive (bool, optional) – If True - convert all words to their uppercase form before evaluating the performance. Useful to handle case-mismatch between training tokens and words in the test set. In case of multiple case variants of a single word, the vector for the first occurrence (also the most frequent if vocabulary is sorted) is taken.

  • dummy4unknown (bool, optional) – If True - produce zero accuracies for 4-tuples with out-of-vocabulary words. Otherwise, these tuples are skipped entirely and not used in the evaluation.

Returns

  • score (float) – The overall evaluation score on the entire evaluation set

  • sections (list of dict of {str : str or list of tuple of (str, str, str, str)}) – Results broken down by each section of the evaluation set.

init_sims(replace=False)

Precompute L2-normalized vectors.

Parameters

replace (bool, optional) – If True - forget the original vectors and only keep the normalized ones = saves lots of memory!

Warning

You cannot continue training after doing a replace. The model becomes effectively read-only: you can call most_similar(), similarity(), etc., but not train.

classmethod load(fname_or_handle, **kwargs)

Load an object previously saved using save() from a file.

Parameters
  • fname (str) – Path to file that contains needed object.

  • mmap (str, optional) – Memory-map option. If the object was saved with large arrays stored separately, you can load these arrays via mmap (shared memory) using mmap=’r’. If the file being loaded is compressed (either ‘.gz’ or ‘.bz2’), then `mmap=None must be set.

See also

save()

Save object to file.

Returns

Object loaded from fname.

Return type

object

Raises

AttributeError – When called on an object instance instead of class (this is a class method).

classmethod load_varembed_format(vectors, morfessor_model=None)

Load the word vectors into matrix from the varembed output vector files.

Parameters
  • vectors (dict) – Pickle file containing the word vectors.

  • morfessor_model (str, optional) – Path to the trained morfessor model.

Returns

Ready to use instance.

Return type

VarEmbed

classmethod load_word2vec_format(fname, fvocab=None, binary=False, encoding='utf8', unicode_errors='strict', limit=None, datatype=<class 'numpy.float32'>)

Load the input-hidden weight matrix from the original C word2vec-tool format.

Warning

The information stored in the file is incomplete (the binary tree is missing), so while you can query for word similarity etc., you cannot continue training with a model loaded this way.

Parameters
  • fname (str) – The file path to the saved word2vec-format file.

  • fvocab (str, optional) – File path to the vocabulary.Word counts are read from fvocab filename, if set (this is the file generated by -save-vocab flag of the original C tool).

  • binary (bool, optional) – If True, indicates whether the data is in binary word2vec format.

  • encoding (str, optional) – If you trained the C model using non-utf8 encoding for words, specify that encoding in encoding.

  • unicode_errors (str, optional) – default ‘strict’, is a string suitable to be passed as the errors argument to the unicode() (Python 2.x) or str() (Python 3.x) function. If your source file may include word tokens truncated in the middle of a multibyte unicode character (as is common from the original word2vec.c tool), ‘ignore’ or ‘replace’ may help.

  • limit (int, optional) – Sets a maximum number of word-vectors to read from the file. The default, None, means read all.

  • datatype (type, optional) – (Experimental) Can coerce dimensions to a non-default float type (such as np.float16) to save memory. Such types may result in much slower bulk operations or incompatibility with optimized routines.)

Returns

Loaded model.

Parameters
  • word_embeddings (numpy.ndarray) – Matrix with word-embeddings.

most_similar(positive=None, negative=None, topn=10, restrict_vocab=None, indexer=None)

Find the top-N most similar words. Positive words contribute positively towards the similarity, negative words negatively.

This method computes cosine similarity between a simple mean of the projection weight vectors of the given words and the vectors for each word in the model. The method corresponds to the word-analogy and distance scripts in the original word2vec implementation.

Parameters
  • positive (list of str, optional) – List of words that contribute positively.

  • negative (list of str, optional) – List of words that contribute negatively.

  • topn (int or None, optional) – Number of top-N similar words to return, when topn is int. When topn is None, then similarities for all words are returned.

  • restrict_vocab (int, optional) – Optional integer which limits the range of vectors which are searched for most-similar values. For example, restrict_vocab=10000 would only check the first 10000 word vectors in the vocabulary order. (This may be meaningful if you’ve sorted the vocabulary by descending frequency.)

Returns

When topn is int, a sequence of (word, similarity) is returned. When topn is None, then similarities for all words are returned as a one-dimensional numpy array with the size of the vocabulary.

Return type

list of (str, float) or numpy.array

most_similar_cosmul(positive=None, negative=None, topn=10)

Find the top-N most similar words, using the multiplicative combination objective, proposed by Omer Levy and Yoav Goldberg “Linguistic Regularities in Sparse and Explicit Word Representations”. Positive words still contribute positively towards the similarity, negative words negatively, but with less susceptibility to one large distance dominating the calculation. In the common analogy-solving case, of two positive and one negative examples, this method is equivalent to the “3CosMul” objective (equation (4)) of Levy and Goldberg.

Additional positive or negative examples contribute to the numerator or denominator, respectively - a potentially sensible but untested extension of the method. With a single positive example, rankings will be the same as in the default most_similar().

Parameters
  • positive (list of str, optional) – List of words that contribute positively.

  • negative (list of str, optional) – List of words that contribute negatively.

  • topn (int or None, optional) – Number of top-N similar words to return, when topn is int. When topn is None, then similarities for all words are returned.

Returns

When topn is int, a sequence of (word, similarity) is returned. When topn is None, then similarities for all words are returned as a one-dimensional numpy array with the size of the vocabulary.

Return type

list of (str, float) or numpy.array

most_similar_to_given(entity1, entities_list)

Get the entity from entities_list most similar to entity1.

n_similarity(ws1, ws2)
