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

Wikipedia2Vec

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 of words and entities simultaneously, and places similar words and entities close to one another in a continuous vector space. Embeddings can be easily trained by a single command with a publicly available Wikipedia dump as input. This tool has been used in several state-of-the-art NLP models such as entity linking, named entity recognition, entity relatedness, and question answering.

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