Word Embedding Benchmark (web) package is focused on providing methods for easy evaluating and reporting results on common benchmarks (analogy, similarity and categorization).
Research goal of the package is to help drive research in word embeddings by easily accessible reproducible results (as there is a lot of contradictory results in the literature right now). This should also help to answer question if we should devise new methods for evaluating word embeddings.
To evaluate your embedding (converted to word2vec or python dict pickle) on all fast-running benchmarks execute ./scripts/eval_on_all.py <path-to-file>. See here results for embeddings available in the package.
Warnings and Disclaimers:
- Analogy test does not normalize internally word embeddings.
- Package is currently under development, and we expect within next few months an official release. The main issue that might hit you at the moment is rather long embeddings loading times (especially if you use fetchers).
Please also refer to our recent publication on evaluation methods https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.02170.
