The script can benefit from Word2Vec embeddings by replacing the randomly initialized embeddings with pretrained or trained embeddings generated using Word2Vec. These embeddings provide a meaningful semantic structure that is learned from a corpus of text, enhancing the visualization and cosine similarity calculations.
Benefits:
- Meaningful Relationships: Words like “king” and “queen” will naturally be closer than “king” and “apple.”
- Analogy Solving: Word2Vec supports vector arithmetic to solve word analogies (e.g., “man is to king as woman is to queen”).
- Improved Visualizations: The embeddings reflect real-world semantic and syntactic relationships, making the 2D plots more interpretable.
Further Enhancements
- Train Your Word2Vec:
- Train embeddings on a custom corpus using
gensim.models.[[Word2Vec]]
to reflect domain-specific semantics.
- Train embeddings on a custom corpus using
- Hybrid Embeddings:
- Combine Word2Vec with other models (e.g., BERT or Sentence Transformers) for tasks requiring contextual understanding.
Using glove-wiki-gigaword-100
:
- A GloVe model with 100-dimensional embeddings trained on the Wikipedia Gigaword dataset.
- Approximate size: ~100MB.
Expected Outcome
- Visualization:
- Terms from the same category (e.g., royalty, fruits, animals) will cluster together in the t-SNE plot.
- Cosine Similarity:
- Similar terms (e.g., “king” and “queen” or “apple” and “orange”) will have higher cosine similarity scores.
- Semantic Diversity:
- The expanded list increases the diversity of semantic relationships and highlights the strength of embeddings in grouping similar concepts.
