Description

example

emb = readWordEmbedding(filename) reads the pretrained word embedding stored in text file or zip file filename. The input file must be a text file with UTF-8 encoding in either the word2vec or GloVe text embedding format, or a zip file containing a text file of this format.

If the word embedding file contains duplicate words, then the software uses the word vector corresponding to the last duplicate entry.

emb = 
  wordEmbedding with properties:

     Dimension: 50
    Vocabulary: [1x9999 string]

Explore the word embedding using word2vec and vec2word.

king = word2vec(emb,"king");
man = word2vec(emb,"man");
woman = word2vec(emb,"woman");
word = vec2word(emb,king - man + woman)
word = 
"queen"
