WRD implementaion for Japanese texts
This repository is a WRD(Word Rotator's Distance) implemenation for Japanese texts. WRD is an improved algorithm of WMD(Word Mover's Distance) and achieves great performances in measuring textual similarities. See the details in the paper.
Requirements
Install Python modules
- gensim
- mecab-python3 with MeCab and Neologd dictionary
- POT
Download pre-trained vectors for Word2vec
From this site, download pre-trained vectors trained on Japanese Wikipedia and set it in vecs
directory.
jawiki.word_vectors.200d.txt.bz2
is recommended.
If you want, your original pre-trained vectors could be used.
Usage
Just run the below command. --mecab_dict_path
is an optional argument.
$ python main.py --mecab_dict_path /usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/mecab-ipadic-neologd/
The result is shown as below, if you succeed. The value of the final line is WRD of the two sentences. The smaller WRD, the more similar. The larger WRD, the less similar.

If you'd like to change the sentences to compare, edit the main.py directly.
