## Description
German word embedding model trained by Müller with the following parameter configuration:
- a corpus as big as possible (and as diverse as possible without being informal)    filtering of punctuation and stopwords
- forming bigramm tokens
- using skip-gram as training algorithm with hierarchical softmax
- window size between 5 and 10
- dimensionality of feature vectors of 300 or more
- using negative sampling with 10 samples
- ignoring all words with total frequency lower than 50
