This repository contains the materials for a 1-hour work embeddings workshop to be held on 3/19/21, organized by the Computational Social Science reading group at TechnoSoc. Follow the instructions below to run the notebook, word-embeddings-workshop.ipynb.
View a static web version of the workshop tutorial at https://ccgilroy.github.io/word-embeddings-workshop/. Introductory slides are here.
If you use conda to manage your Python environments, you can install the key packages you need for this work shop by running this command in your terminal:
conda env create -f environment.yml
The whatlies package isn't available through conda. For the optional part of the workshop that uses whatlies, install it with pip install whatlies (after activating the conda environment!).
To open the notebook from your terminal, first activate the new environment, then run jupyter lab:
conda activate emb-workshop
jupyter lab
(Here's the full code to create the conda environment. If creating it from the environment file works, you won't need this.)
conda create -n emb-workshop
conda activate emb-workshop
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install python=3.8 jupyterlab gensim scikit-learn
# optional, to use whatlies
pip install whatlies
