Wikipedia2Vec is a tool used for obtaining embeddings (vector representations) of words and entities from Wikipedia.
It is developed and maintained by [Studio Ousia](http://www.ousia.jp).

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](https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01343), [named entity recognition](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/I17-2017), [entity relatedness](https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01343), and [question answering](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.08652).

Documentation and pretrained embeddings are available online at [http://wikipedia2vec.github.io/](http://wikipedia2vec.github.io/).
