## Description
Word embedding model trained by Al-Rfou et al.


## How to use?

```
import pickle
from numpy import dot
from numpy.linalg import norm
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
words, embeddings = pickle.load(open(hf_hub_download(repo_id="Word2vec/polyglot_words_embeddings_en", filename="words_embeddings_en.pkl"), 'rb'),encoding="latin1")

word = "Irish"
a = embeddings[words.index(word)]
most_similar = []
for i in range(len(embeddings)):
    if i != words.index(word):
        b = embeddings[i]
        cos_sim = dot(a, b)/(norm(a)*norm(b))
        most_similar.append(cos_sim)
    else:
        most_similar.append(0)        
        
words[most_similar.index(max(most_similar))]
```
