Package: bpemb
BPEmbBPEmb is a collection of pre-trained subword embeddings in 275 languages, based on Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) and trained on Wikipedia. Its intended use is as input for neural models in natural language processing.Website・Usage・Download・MultiBPEmb・Paper (pdf)・Citing BPEmbUsageInstall BPEmb with pip:pipinstallbpembEmbeddings and SentencePiece models will be downloaded automatically the first time you use them.>>>frombpembimportBPEmb# load English BPEmb model with default vocabulary size (10k) and 50-dimensional embeddings>>>bpemb_en=BPEmb(lang="en",dim=50)downloadinghttps://nlp.h-its.org/bpemb/en/en.wiki.bpe.vs10000.modeldownloadinghttps://nlp.h-its.org/bpemb/en/en.wiki.bpe.vs10000.d50.w2v.bin.tar.gzYou can do two main things with BPEmb. The first is subword segmentation:# apply English BPE subword segmentation model>>>bpemb_en.encode("Stratford")['▁strat','ford']# load Chinese BPEmb model with vocabulary size 100k and default (100-dim) embeddings>>>bpemb_zh=BPEmb(lang="zh",vs=100000)# apply Chinese BPE subword segmentation model>>>bpemb_zh.encode("这是一个中文句子")# "This is a Chinese sentence."['▁这是一个','中文','句子']# ["This is a", "Chinese", "sentence"]If / how a word gets split depends on the vocabulary size. Generally, a smaller vocabulary size will yield a segmentation into many subwords, while a large vocabulary size will result in frequent words not being split:vocabulary sizesegmentation1000['▁str', 'at', 'f', 'ord']3000['▁str', 'at', 'ford']5000['▁str', 'at', 'ford']10000['▁strat', 'ford']25000['▁stratford']50000['▁stratford']100000['▁stratford']200000['▁stratford']The second purpose of BPEmb is to provide pretrained subword embeddings:# Embeddings are wrapped in a gensim KeyedVectors object>>>type(bpemb_zh.emb)gensim.models.keyedvectors.Word2VecKeyedVectors# You can use BPEmb objects like
