How to download BuiltIn Gensim Models and Datasets

In this recipe, we will learn how to download built-in models and datasets available in gensim in a step-by-step manner.

Recipe Objective: How to download Built-In Gensim Models and Datasets?

Gensim includes several built-in datasets and word embedding models that can be used immediately.

The downloader class from the gensim package can download a built-in model or dataset. The load method on the downloader class may then be used to download the specified package. We will use the "glove-wiki-gigaword-100" word embedding model, which is 100 dimensional and based on Wikipedia content. We will try to find words similar to "tiger" using our word embedding model. Take a look at the code below:

Hands-On Approach to Topic Modelling in Python

#importing required library
import gensim.downloader as api

#downloading the dataset
w2v_embedding = api.load("glove-wiki-gigaword-100")

#finding similar words
w2v_embedding.most_similar('tiger')

Output:
[('tigers', 0.6670565009117126),
 ('leopard', 0.6260085105895996),
 ('elephant', 0.6157839298248291),
 ('woods', 0.6030755043029785),
 ('crocodile', 0.5780433416366577),
 ('dragon', 0.5769645571708679),
 ('lion', 0.5733929872512817),
 ('turtle', 0.5635945200920105),
 ('rebel', 0.5602356791496277),
 ('elephants', 0.5577720403671265)]
