# debate2vec
Word-vectors created from a large corpus of competitive debate evidence, and data extraction / processing scripts
#usage
```
import fasttext.util
ft = fasttext.load_model('debate2vec.bin')
ft.get_word_vector('dialectics')
```

# About
Created from all publically available Cross Examination Competitive debate evidence posted by the community on [Open Evidence](https://openev.debatecoaches.org/) (From 2013-2020)
Search through the original evidence by going to [debate.cards](http://debate.cards/)
Stats about this corpus:
* 222485 unique documents larger than 200 words (DebateSum plus some additional debate docs that weren't well-formed enough for inclusion into DebateSum)
* 107555 unique words (showing up more than 10 times in the corpus)
* 101 million total words
Stats about debate2vec vectors:
* 300 dimensions, minimum number of appearances of a word was 10, trained for 100 epochs with lr set to 0.10 using FastText
* lowercased (will release cased)
* No subword information
The corpus includes the following topics
* 2013-2014 Cuba/Mexico/Venezuela Economic Engagement
* 2014-2015 Oceans
* 2015-2016 Domestic Surveillance
* 2016-2017 China
* 2017-2018 Education
* 2018-2019 Immigration
* 2019-2020 Reducing Arms Sales
Other topics that this word vector model will handle extremely well
* Philosophy (Especially Left-Wing / Post-modernist)
* Law
* Government
* Politics
Initial release is of fasttext vectors without subword information. Future releases will include fine-tuned GPT-2 and other high end models as my GPU compute allows.
