subword embeddings trained on arXiv

This repository contains the code to build subword embeddings from the arXiv dataset of 1.7M+ scholarly papers.

Prerequisites

[Download the arXiv dataset], decompress archive.zip and place the file arxiv-metadata-oai-snapshot.json into the data/ directory.

Install required Python modules:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Follow the instructions to build and install SentencePiece command line tools from C++ source.

Follow the instructions to build and install GloVe.

Train subword embeddings from the arXiv dataset

We follow the idea of pre-trained subword embbeddings from (Heinzerling and Strube, 2018).

Download pre-trained models

Pre-trained models are available in the data/ directory.

• data/arxiv-metadata-oai-snapshot.model is the sentencePiece model.
• data/arxiv-metadata-oai-snapshot.vocab is the sentencePiece vocabulary file.
• data/vectors.txt and data/vectors.bin are learned GloVe vectors (50 dim).
