Training a Word2Vec Model with Gensim Library
Preparation
1. Install Gensim Library
Install using pip:
!pip install gensim
2. Tokenize the Raw Corpus
We use the novel "In the Name of the People" as the corpus and apply jieba for tokenization.
import jieba
import jieba.analyse
# Add terms to improve jieba segmentation accuracy
jieba.suggest_freq('Sha Ruijin', True)
