For license information, see LICENSE.TXT ======================================= Demonstrate word embedding using Gensim ======================================= We demonstrate three functions: - Train the word embeddings using brown corpus; - Load the pre-trained model and perform simple tasks; and - Pruning the pre-trained binary model. >>> import gensim --------------- Train the model --------------- Here we train a word embedding using the Brown Corpus: >>> from nltk.corpus import brown >>> model = gensim.models.Word2Vec(brown.sents()) It might take some time to train the model. So, after it is trained, it can be saved as follows: >>> model.save('brown.embedding') >>> new_model = gensim.models.Word2Vec.load('brown.embedding') The model will be the list of words with their embedding. We can easily get the vector representation of a word. >>> len(new_model['university']) 100 There are some supporting functions already implemented in Gensim to manipulate with word embeddings. For example, to compute the cosine similarity between 2 words: >>> new_model.similarity('university','school') > 0.3 True --------------------------- Using the pre-trained model --------------------------- NLTK includes a pre-trained model which is part of a model that is trained on 100 billion words from the Google News Dataset. The full model is from https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/ (about 3 GB). >>> from nltk.data import find >>> word2vec_sample = str(find('models/word2vec_sample/pruned.word2vec.txt')) >>> model = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(word2vec_sample, binary=False) We pruned the model to only include the most common words (~44k words). >>> len(model.vocab) 43981 Each word is represented in the space of 300 dimensions: >>> len(model['university']) 300 Finding the top n words that are similar to a target word is simple. The result is the list of n words with the score. >>> model.most_similar(positive=['university'], topn = 3) [(u'universities', 0.70039...), (u'faculty', 0.67809...), (u'undergraduate', 0.65870...)] Finding a word that is not in a list is also supported, although, implementing this by yourself is simple. >>> model.doesnt_match('breakfast cereal dinner lunch'.split()) 'cereal' Mikolov et al. (2013) figured out that word embedding captures much of syntactic and semantic regularities. For example, the vector 'King - Man + Woman' is close to 'Queen' and 'Germany - Berlin + Paris' is close to 'France'. >>> model.most_similar(positive=['woman','king'], negative=['man'], topn = 1) [(u'queen', 0.71181...)] >>> model.most_similar(positive=['Paris','Germany'], negative=['Berlin'], topn = 1) [(u'France', 0.78840...)] We can visualize the word embeddings using t-SNE (http://lvdmaaten.github.io/tsne/). For this demonstration, we visualize the first 1000 words. | import numpy as np | labels = [] | count = 0 | max_count = 1000 | X = np.zeros(shape=(max_count,len(model['university']))) | | for term in model.vocab: | X[count] = model[term] | labels.append(term) | count+= 1 | if count >= max_count: break | | # It is recommended to use PCA first to reduce to ~50 dimensions | from sklearn.decomposition import PCA | pca = PCA(n_components=50) | X_50 = pca.fit_transform(X) | | # Using TSNE to further reduce to 2 dimensions | from sklearn.manifold import TSNE | model_tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, random_state=0) | Y = model_tsne.fit_transform(X_50) | | # Show the scatter plot | import matplotlib.pyplot as plt | plt.scatter(Y[:,0], Y[:,1], 20) | | # Add labels | for label, x, y in zip(labels, Y[:, 0], Y[:, 1]): | plt.annotate(label, xy = (x,y), xytext = (0, 0), textcoords = 'offset points', size = 10) | | plt.show() ------------------------------ Prune the trained binary model ------------------------------ Here is the supporting code to extract part of the binary model (GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz) from https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/ We use this code to get the `word2vec_sample` model. | import gensim | from gensim.models.word2vec import Word2Vec | # Load the binary model | model = Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format('GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz', binary = True); | | # Only output word that appear in the Brown corpus | from nltk.corpus import brown | words = set(brown.words()) | print (len(words)) | | # Output presented word to a temporary file | out_file = 'pruned.word2vec.txt' | f = open(out_file,'wb') | | word_presented = words.intersection(model.vocab.keys()) | f.write('{} {}\n'.format(len(word_presented),len(model['word']))) | | for word in word_presented: | f.write('{} {}\n'.format(word, ' '.join(str(value) for value in model[word]))) | | f.close()
