The cw2vec from tianyikenan

Introduction

Paper Link: cw2vec: Learning Chinese Word Embeddings with Stroke n-gram Information

Requirements

cmake version 3.10.0-rc5
make GNU Make 4.1
gcc version 5.4.0

Run Demo

I have uploaded word2vec binary executable file in cw2vec/word2vec/bin and rewrite run.sh for simple test, you can run run.sh directly for simple test.
According to the Building cw2vec using cmake to recompile and run other model with the Example use cases.

Building cw2vec using cmake

git clone [email protected]:bamtercelboo/cw2vec.git
cd cw2vec && cd word2vec && cd build
cmake ..
make
cd ../bin

This will create the word2vec binary and also all relevant libraries.

Example use cases

the repo not only implement cw2vec(named substoke), but also the skipgram, cbow of word2vec, furthermore, fasttext skipgram is implemented(named subword).

Please modify train.txt and feature.txt into your own train document.

skipgram: ./word2vec skipgram -input train.txt -output skipgram_out -lr 0.025 -dim 100 -ws 5 -epoch 5 -minCount 10 -neg 5 -loss ns -thread 8 -t 1e-4 -lrUpdateRate 100  

cbow:     ./word2vec cbow -input train.txt -output cbow_out -lr 0.05 -dim 100 -ws 5 -epoch 5 -minCount 10 -neg 5 -loss ns -thread 8 -t 1e-4 -lrUpdateRate 100

subword:  ./word2vec subword -input train.txt -output subword_out -lr 0.025 -dim 100 -ws 5 -epoch 5 -minCount 10 -neg 5 -loss ns -thread 8 -t 1e-4 -lrUpdateRate 100

substoke: ./word2vec substoke -input train.txt -infeature feature.txt -output substoke_out -lr 0.025 -dim 100 -ws 5 -epoch 5 -minCount 10 -neg 5 -loss ns -thread 8 -t 1e-4 -lrUpdateRate 100

Get chinese stoke feature

substoke model need chinese stoke feature(-infeature)，I have written a script to acquire the Chinese character of stroke information from handian. here is the script extract_zh_char_stoke, see the readme for details.

feature file(feature.txt) like this:

中 丨フ一丨
国 丨フ一一丨一丶一
庆 丶一ノ一ノ丶
假 ノ丨フ一丨一一フ一フ丶
期 一丨丨一一一ノ丶ノフ一一
香 ノ一丨ノ丶丨フ一一
江 丶丶一一丨一
将 丶一丨ノフ丶一丨丶
涌 丶丶一フ丶丨フ一一丨

潮 丶丶一一丨丨フ一一一丨ノフ一一
......

I provided a feature file for the test，path is sample/substoke_feature.txt.

Substoke model output embeddings

In this paper, the context word embeddings is used directly as the final word vector. However, according to the idea of fasttext, I also take into account the n-gram feature vector of the stroke information, the n-gram feature vector of the stroke information is taken as an average substitute for the word vector.
There are two outputs in substoke model:
- output ends with vec is the context word vector.
- output ends with avg is the n-gram feature vector average.

Word similarity evaluation

1. Evaluation script

I have already written a Chinese word similarity evaluation script. Chinese-Word-Similarity-and-Word-Analogy, see the readme for details.

2. Parameter Settings

The parameters are set as follows:

dim  100
window sizes  5
negative  5
epoch  5
minCount  10
lr  skipgram(0.025)，cbow(0.05)，substoke(0.025)
n-gram  minn=3, maxn=18

3. result

Experimental results show follows
