Introduction
============
This module implements the word2vec family of algorithms, using highly optimized C routines,
data streaming and Pythonic interfaces.

There are more ways to train word vectors in Gensim than just Word2Vec.
See also :class:`~gensim.models.doc2vec.Doc2Vec`, :class:`~gensim.models.fasttext.FastText` and

The training algorithms were originally ported from the C package https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/
and extended with additional functionality and optimizations over the years.

**Make sure you have a C compiler before installing Gensim, to use the optimized word2vec routines**
(70x speedup compared to plain NumPy implementation, https://rare-technologies.com/parallelizing-word2vec-in-python/).

The training is streamed, so ``sentences`` can be an iterable, reading input data
from disk on-the-fly. This lets you avoid loading the entire corpus into RAM.
However, note that because the iterable must be re-startable, `sentences` must
not be a generator. For an example of an appropriate iterator see
:class:`~gensim.models.word2vec.BrownCorpus`,
:class:`~gensim.models.word2vec.Text8Corpus` or
:class:`~gensim.models.word2vec.LineSentence`.

need the full model state any more (don't need to continue training), the state can discarded.

Embeddings with multiword ngrams
================================
There is a :mod:`gensim.models.phrases` module which lets you automatically
detect phrases longer than one word, using collocation statistics.
Using phrases, you can learn a word2vec model where "words" are actually multiword expressions,
such as `new_york_times` or `financial_crisis`:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
>>> from gensim.test.utils import common_texts
>>> from gensim.models import Phrases
>>>
>>> Train a bigram detector.
>>> bigram_transformer = Phrases(common_texts)

>>> Apply the trained MWE detector to a corpus, using the result to train a Word2vec model.
>>> model = Word2Vec(bigram_transformer[common_texts], min_count=1)
Pretrained models
=================
Gensim comes with several already pre-trained models, in the
`Gensim-data repository <https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim-data>`_:
