A tool for learning vector representations of words and entities from Wikipedia

Project description

Fury badge CircleCI

Wikipedia2Vec is a tool used for obtaining embeddings (vector representations) of words and entities from Wikipedia. It is developed and maintained by Studio Ousia.

This tool enables you to learn embeddings that map words and entities into a unified continuous vector space. The embeddings can be used as word embeddings, entity embeddings, and the unified embeddings of words and entities. They are used in the state-of-the-art models of various tasks such as entity linking, named entity recognition, entity relatedness, and question answering.

Documentation and pretrained embeddings are available online at http://wikipedia2vec.github.io/.
