WordVecSpace

A high performance pure python module that helps in loading and performing operations on word vector spaces created using Google's Word2vec tool.

This module has ability to the load data into memory using WordVecSpaceMem and it can also support performing operations on the data which is on the disk using WordVecSpaceAnnoy and WordVecSpaceDisk.

Installation

Prerequisites: >=Python3.5.2

$ sudo apt install libopenblas-base # Optional
$ sudo pip3 install wordvecspace

Usage

Preparing data

Before we can start using the library, we need access to some word vector space data. Here are two ways to get that.

Download pre-computed sample data

$ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/deepcompute-public-data/wordvecspace/test_data-0_5_4.tgz
$ tar zxvf test_data-0_5_4.tgz

NOTE: We got this data by downloading the text8 corpus from this location (http://mattmahoney.net/dc/text8.zip) and converting that to WordVecSpace format. You can do the same conversion process by reading the instructions in the following section.

Computing your own data

You can compute a word vector space on an arbitrary text corpus by using Google's word2vec tool. Here is an example on how to do that for the sample text8 corpus.

$ git clone https://github.com/tmikolov/word2vec.git

# 1. Navigate to the folder word2vec
# 2. open demo-word.sh for editing
# 3. Edit the command "time ./word2vec -train text8 -output vectors.bin -cbow 1 -size 200 -window 8 -negative 25 -hs 0 -sample 1e-4 -threads 20 -binary 1 -iter 15" ----to----> "time ./word2vec -train text8 -output vectors.bin -cbow 1 -size 5 -window 8 -negative 25 -hs 0 -sample 1e-4 -threads 20 -binary 1 -save-vocab vocab.txt -iter 15" to get vocab.txt file also as output.
# 4. Run demo-word.sh

$ chmod +x demo-word.sh
$ ./demo-word.sh

# This will produce the output files (vectors.bin and vocab.txt)

These files (vectors.bin and vocab.txt) cannot be directly loaded by the wordvecspace module. You'll first have to convert them to the WordVecSpace format.

$ wordvecspace convert <input_dir> <output_dir>

# <input_dir> is the directory which has vocab.txt and vectors.bin
# <output_dir> is the directory where you want to store your output files.

Example:

$ wordvecspace convert /home/user/bindata /home/user/output_dir

# /home/user/bindata is the directory containing vocab.txt and vectors.bin
# /home/user/output_dir is the output directory which contains wordvecspace data files.

Importing

Quick example

Import
>>> from wordvecspace import WordVecSpaceDisk
Load data
>>> wv = WordVecSpaceDisk('/home/user/output_dir')
Make get_nearest call
>>> wv.get_nearest('india', k=20)
[509, 3389, 486, 523, 7125, 16619, 4491, 12191, 6866, 8776, 15232, 14208, 5998, 21916, 5226, 6322, 4343, 6212, 10172, 6186]
# k is for getting top k nearest values

Types

wordvecspace module can perform operations by loading data into RAM using WordVecSpaceMem or directly on the data which is on the disk using WordVecSpaceDisk

WordVecSpaceMem and WordVecSpaceDisk is a bruteforce algorithm which compares given word with all the words in the vector space

WordVecSpaceAnnoy takes wordvecspace output_dir as input and creates annoy indexes in another file (index file). Using this file annoy gives approximate results quickly. For better understanding of Annoy please go through this link

As we have seen how to import WordVecSpaceDisk above, let us look at WordVecSpaceAnnoy and WordVecSpaceMem

Import
>>> from wordvecspace import WordVecSpaceAnnoy
>>> from wordvecspace import WordVecSpaceMem
Load data
# WordVecSpaceMem
>>> wv = WordVecSpaceMem('/home/user/output_dir')

# WordVecSpaceAnnoy
>>> wv = WordVecSpaceAnnoy('/home/user/output_dir', n_trees=2, index_fpath='/tmp')

# n_trees = number of trees(More trees gives a higher precision when querying for get_nearest)
# index_fpath = path for annoy index file

# n_trees and index_fpath are optional. If those are not given then WordVecSpaceAnnoy uses `1` for n_trees and `/home/user/output_dir` (wordvecspace data directory) directory for index_fpath.
Make get_nearest call
>>> wv.get_nearest('india', k=20) (MEM)
[509, 3389, 486, 523, 7125, 16619, 4491, 12191, 6866, 8776, 15232, 14208, 5998, 21916, 5226, 6322, 4343, 6212, 10172, 6186]

>>> wv.get_nearest('india', k=20) (ANNOY)
[509, 3389, 16619, 4491, 6866, 8776, 14208, 5998, 21916, 20919, 2325, 4622, 3546, 24149, 5064, 35704, 25578, 15842, 4137, 6499]

Distance calculations

WordVecSpaceAnnoy supports different types of distance calculations such as "angular", "euclidean", "manhattan" and "hamming".

WordVecSpaceMem supports "angular" and "euclidean" for distance calculations.

WordVecSpaceDisk supports "angular" and "euclidean" for distance calculations.

All of the above uses "angular" by default. If you want to change it then you can change at the time of creating object.

Example:

wv = WordVecSpaceAnnoy('/path/to/output_dir', n_trees, metric="euclidean")
wv = WordVecSpaceMem('/path/to/output_dir', metric="euclidean")
wv = WordVecSpaceDisk('/path/to/output_dir', metric="euclidean")

# metric = type of distance calculation

WordVecSpaceMem can also supports specifying metric at the time of calculating distance.

Example:

wv = WordVecSpaceMem('/path/to/output_dir', metric="euclidean")

wv.get_distance('ap', 'india', metric='angular')

Examples of using wordvecspace methods

WordVecSpaceMem, WordVecSpaceAnnoy and WordVecSpaceDisk support the same methods.

GPU acceleration

wordvecspace can take advantage of an Nvidia GPU to perform some operations significantly faster. This is as simple as doing

>>> from wordvecspace.cuda import WordVecSpaceMem

The WordVecSpaceMem from the cuda module is a drop-in replacement for the CPU based WordVecSpaceMem class showcased above.

NOTE: The vector space size must fit on available GPU RAM for this to work Also, you will need to install cuda support by doing "sudo pip3 install wordvecspace[cuda]"
