Use gensim to load a word2vec model pretrained on google news and perform some simple actions with the word vectors.

gensim_word2vec_demo.py

from gensim.models import Word2Vec

# Load pretrained model (since intermediate data is not included, the model cannot be refined with additional data)
model = Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format('GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin', binary=True, norm_only=True)

dog = model['dog']
print(dog.shape)
print(dog[:10])

# Deal with an out of dictionary word: Михаил (Michail)
if 'Михаил' in model:
    print(model['Михаил'].shape)
else:
    print('{0} is an out of dictionary word'.format('Михаил'))

# Some predefined functions that show content related information for given words
print(model.most_similar(positive=['woman', 'king'], negative=['man']))

print(model.doesnt_match("breakfast cereal dinner lunch".split()))

print(model.similarity('woman', 'man'))

Are you using 64 bit Python? Check out this guys blog post http://mccormickml.com/2016/04/12/googles-pretrained-word2vec-model-in-python/

Word2Vec model is deprecated. Use instead KeyedVectors

model = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format('./data/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz', binary=True)

@dineshsonachalam Does this only work with a certain version of python? When I use that on 2.7.14 I get an error saying 'No such file or directory', when I definitely have a 'data' directory. Error looks like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

@o-P-o, did you download the GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz file? The KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format() function reads the binary file directly from disk, so you'll need to download it first. Here's a link to the file.

model = api.load("word2vec-google-news-300")  # download the model and return as object ready for use
word_vectors = model.wv #load the vectors from the model

@o-P-o, try removing the leading / from the path you provide

I 've started my word2vec way a week ago. It seems like your code works. But I have a problem with loading a Google news model?, it is not enough RAM or something like that. Personally, for me, it takes all my RAM not able to load my model.

Could you help me to load the model? Because this is main stuff that disturbs me to go ahead.

The model occupies 4.5gb of my memory, so yeah it is quite intensive indeed.

when is execute the following
model = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format('./data/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz', binary=True)
i get an error saying
ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (75) into shape (300)

can anyone help me
Thanks In advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is because the shape of google vectors is 300 while your vector shape is 75 , try to make your vector shape 300

Someone Help me out to resolve the issue..Please

Someone Help me out to resolve the issue..Please

try this
t_model = KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format('GoogleWord2Vec/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin',binary=True)
it works for me

Download for here : https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl4j-distribution/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz

And use .bin.gz instead of .bin

wordmodelfile=r"GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz.gz"
wordmodel= gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(wordmodelfile, binary=True)

But i am getting error:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'version'

Please help me to resolve this error.

@vanshika1396 have you tried removing the extra .gz from ...ative300.bin.gz.gz ?

@maifeeulasad have you tried removing the extra .gz from ...ative300.bin.gz.gz ?

...ative300.bin.gz.gz permission is not granted to change the name of the file.What else can be done, suggest?

If you are using windows, then open CMD with admin privilege and navigate to that directory.

Now execute command rename GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz.gz GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz

If you are on linux, there is mv and many more command

wv = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format("E:\GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin", binary=True)
wv.init_sims(replace=True)

i'm using this. but i want to less RAM. is it possible to load the .bin file part by part? for example in 3 steps? in order to decrease the RAM usage?

@mamad-knight yes, anything can be done using computer, except getting girlfriend and some abstract ....
Now, I have never done this, so I'm not sure, but

import numpy as np
filepath = "../input/embeddings/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin"

embeddings_index = {}
from gensim.models import KeyedVectors
wv_from_bin = KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(filepath, binary=True) 
for word, vector in zip(wv_from_bin.vocab, wv_from_bin.vectors):
    coefs = np.asarray(vector, dtype='float32')
    embeddings_index[word] = coefs

Try to split the file and read like this.

I found the code here.

Rest you have to take care, maybe you can knock me, not sure if I can help or not...

Thanks for spending time, but i don't think it work. because the solution is not to load the whole .bin file. as soon as you load it, the RAM usage goes max.

try colab , not sure if they support such huge files @mamad-knight

Thanks man. i'll try it. @maifeeulasad

Try passing the url, instead of passing the location of the file..
you may even need to write your own stream receiver too..
good luck, if I'm done, i will share..
and if anyone finishes earlier, please share..
@mamad-knight

Thanks so much for spending time. i'll try it today or tomorrow. @maifeeulasad

Is there any API of this model so I can call it and get a vector for any word and without loading that model at my server? someone please help me with this, I am thinking this because my server can afford 4gb of ram for this model.
Thanks In advance.

Since this example this deprecated, I created a Google Colab demo for the same.

Reg "the model cannot be refined with additional data" - gensim has an online algorithm which allows to augment existing model (since 2015) https://rutumulkar.com/blog/2015/word2vec/

AttributeError: The vocab attribute was removed from KeyedVector in Gensim 4.0.0.
Use KeyedVector's .key_to_index dict, .index_to_key list, and methods .get_vecattr(key, attr) and .set_vecattr(key, attr, new_val) instead.
See https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/wiki/Migrating-from-Gensim-3.x-to-4

Thank you for the Colab demo !!
