Unreleased

4.0.0beta, 2020-10-31

⚠️ Gensim 4.0 contains breaking API changes! See the Migration guide to update your existing Gensim 3.x code and models.

Gensim 4.0 is a major release with lots of performance & robustness improvements and a new website.

Main highlights (see also 👍 Improvements below)

  • Massively optimized popular algorithms the community has grown to love: fastText, word2vec, doc2vec, phrases:

    a. Efficiency

    model 3.8.3: wall time / peak RAM / throughput 4.0.0: wall time / peak RAM / throughput
    fastText 2.9h / 4.11 GB / 822k words/s 2.3h / 1.26 GB / 914k words/s
    word2vec 1.7h / 0.36 GB / 1685k words/s 1.2h / 0.33 GB / 1762k words/s

    In other words, fastText now needs 3x less RAM (and is faster); word2vec has 2x faster init (and needs less RAM, and is faster); detecting collocation phrases is 2x faster. (4.0 benchmarks)

    b. Robustness. We fixed a bunch of long-standing bugs by refactoring the internal code structure (see 🔴 Bug fixes below)

    c. Simplified OOP model for easier model exports and integration with TensorFlow, PyTorch &co.

    These improvements come to you transparently aka "for free", but see Migration guide for some changes that break the old Gensim 3.x API. Update your code accordingly.

  • Dropped a bunch of externally contributed modules: summarization, pivoted TFIDF normalization, FIXME.

    • Code quality was not up to our standards. Also there was no one to maintain them, answer user questions, support these modules.

      So rather than let them rot, we took the hard decision of removing these contributed modules from Gensim. If anyone's interested in maintaining them please fork into your own repo, they can live happily outside of Gensim.

  • Dropped Python 2. Gensim 4.0 is Py3.6+. Read our Python version support policy.

    • If you still need Python 2 for some reason, stay at Gensim 3.8.3.

  • A new Gensim website – finally! 🙃

So, a major clean-up release overall. We're happy with this tighter, leaner and faster Gensim.

This is the direction we'll keep going forward: less kitchen-sink of "latest academic algorithms", more focus on robust engineering, targetting common concrete NLP & document similarity use-cases.

Why pre-release?

This 4.0.0beta pre-release is for users who want the cutting edge performance and bug fixes. Plus users who want to help out, by testing and providing feedback: code, documentation, workflows… Please let us know on the mailing list!

Install the pre-release with:

pip install --pre --upgrade gensim

What will change between this pre-release and a "full" 4.0 release?

Production stability is important to Gensim, so we're improving the process of upgrading already-trained saved models. There'll be an explicit model upgrade script between each 4.n to 4.(n+1) Gensim release. Check progress here.

⚠️ Changes in FastText behavior

Out-of-vocab word handling

To achieve consistency with the reference implementation from Facebook, a FastText model will now always report any word, out-of-vocabulary or not, as being in the model, and always return some vector for any word looked-up. Specifically:

  1. 'any_word' in ft_model will always return True. Previously, it returned True only if the full word was in the vocabulary. (To test if a full word is in the known vocabulary, you can consult the wv.vocab property: 'any_word' in ft_model.wv.vocab will return False if the full word wasn't learned during model training.)
  2. ft_model['any_word'] will always return a vector. Previously, it raised KeyError for OOV words when the model had no vectors for any ngrams of the word.
  3. If no ngrams from the term are present in the model, or when no ngrams could be extracted from the term, a vector pointing to the origin will be returned. Previously, a vector of NaN (not a number) was returned as a consequence of a divide-by-zero problem.
  4. Models may use more more memory, or take longer for word-vector lookup, especially after training on smaller corpuses where the previous non-compliant behavior discarded some ngrams from consideration.

Loading models in Facebook .bin format

The gensim.models.FastText.load_fasttext_format function (deprecated) now loads the entire model contained in the .bin file, including the shallow neural network that enables training continuation. Loading this NN requires more CPU and RAM than previously required.

Since this function is deprecated, consider using one of its alternatives (see below).

Furthermore, you must now pass the full path to the file to load, including the file extension. Previously, if you specified a model path that ends with anything other than .bin, the code automatically appended .bin to the path before loading the model. This behavior was confusing, so we removed it.

⚠️ Deprecations (will be removed in the next major release)

Remove:

  • gensim.models.FastText.load_fasttext_format: use load_facebook_vectors to load embeddings only (faster, less CPU/memory usage, does not support training continuation) and load_facebook_model to load full model (slower, more CPU/memory intensive, supports training continuation)

    New training mode for *2Vec models (word2vec, doc2vec, fasttext) that allows model training to scale linearly with the number of cores (full GIL elimination). The result of our Google Summer of Code 2018 project by Dmitry Persiyanov.

    Benchmark

    • Dataset: full English Wikipedia
    • Cloud: GCE
    • CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.30GHz 32 cores
    • BLAS: MKL

    Word2Vec 9230 2437 3.79x 0.754 (± 0.003) 0.750 (± 0.001)
    Doc2Vec 18264 2889 6.32x 0.721 (± 0.002) 0.683 (± 0.003)
    FastText 16361 10625 1.54x 0.642 (± 0.002) 0.660 (± 0.001)

    Usage:

    import gensim.downloader as api
from multiprocessing import cpu_count
from gensim.utils import save_as_line_sentence
from gensim.test.utils import get_tmpfile
from gensim.models import Word2Vec, Doc2Vec, FastText


# Convert any corpus to the needed format: 1 document per line, words delimited by " "
corpus = api.load("text8")
corpus_fname = get_tmpfile("text8-file-sentence.txt")
save_as_line_sentence(corpus, corpus_fname)

# Choose num of cores that you want to use (let's use all, models scale linearly now!)
num_cores = cpu_count()

# Train models using all cores
w2v_model = Word2Vec(corpus_file=corpus_fname, workers=num_cores)
d2v_model = Doc2Vec(corpus_file=corpus_fname, workers=num_cores)

3.5.0, 2018-07-06

This release comprises a glorious 38 pull requests from 28 contributors. Most of the effort went into improving the documentation—hence the release code name "Docs 💬"!

Apart from the massive overhaul of all Gensim documentation (including docstring style and examples—you asked for it), we also managed to sneak in some new functionality and a number of bug fixes. As usual, see the notes below for a complete list, with links to pull requests for more details.

Huge thanks to all contributors! Nobody loves working on documentation. 3.5.0 is a result of several months of laborious, unglamorous, and sometimes invisible work. Enjoy!

3.3.0, 2018-02-02

🌟 New features:

  • Re-designed all "*2vec" implementations (@manneshiva, #1777)

  • Improve gensim.scripts.segment_wiki by retaining interwiki links. Fix #1712 (@steremma, PR #1839)

    • Optionally extract interlinks from Wikipedia pages (use the --include-interlinks option). This will output one additional JSON dict for each article:

      {
    "interlinks": {
        "article title 1": "interlink text 1",
        "article title 2": "interlink text 2",
        ...
    }
}

    • Example: extract the Wikipedia graph with article links as edges, from a raw Wikipedia dump:

      python -m gensim.scripts.segment_wiki --include-interlinks --file ~/Downloads/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 --output ~/Desktop/enwiki-latest.jsonl.gz
      • Read this field from the segment_wiki output:
      import json
from smart_open import smart_open

with smart_open("enwiki-latest.jsonl.gz") as infile:
    for doc in infile:
        doc = json.loads(doc)

        src_node = doc['title']
        dst_nodes = doc['interlinks'].keys()

        print(u"Source node: {}".format(src_node))
        print(u"Destination nodes: {}".format(u", ".join(dst_nodes)))

3.1.0, 2017-11-06

🌟 New features:

  • Massive optimizations to LSI model training (@isamaru, #1620 & #1622)
    • LSI model allows use of single precision (float32), to consume 40% less memory while being 40% faster.
    • LSI model can now also accept CSC matrix as input, for further memory and speed boost.
    • Overall, if your entire corpus fits in RAM: 3x faster LSI training (SVD) in 4x less memory! 
      # just an example; the corpus stream is up to you
streaming_corpus = gensim.corpora.MmCorpus("my_tfidf_corpus.mm.gz")

# convert your corpus to a CSC sparse matrix (assumes the entire corpus fits in RAM)
in_memory_csc_matrix = gensim.matutils.corpus2csc(streaming_corpus, dtype=np.float32)

# then pass the CSC to LsiModel directly
model = LsiModel(corpus=in_memory_csc_matrix, num_topics=500, dtype=np.float32)
    • Even if you continue to use streaming corpora (your training dataset is too large for RAM), you should see significantly faster processing times and a lower memory footprint. In our experiments with a very large LSI model, we saw a drop from 29 GB peak RAM and 38 minutes (before) to 19 GB peak RAM and 26 minutes (now): 
      model = LsiModel(corpus=streaming_corpus, num_topics=500, dtype=np.float32)
  • Add common terms to Phrases. Fix #1258 (@alexgarel, #1568)
    • Phrases allows to use common terms in bigrams. Before, if you are searching to reveal ngrams like car_with_driver and car_without_driver, you can either remove stop words before processing, but you will only find car_driver, or you won't find any of those forms (because they have three words, but also because high frequency of with will avoid them to be scored correctly), inspired by ES common grams token filter. 
      phr_old = Phrases(corpus)
phr_new = Phrases(corpus, common_terms=stopwords.words('en'))

print(phr_old[["we", "provide", "car", "with", "driver"]])  # ["we", "provide", "car_with", "driver"]
print(phr_new[["we", "provide", "car", "with", "driver"]])  # ["we", "provide", "car_with_driver"]
  • New segment_wiki.py script (@menshikh-iv, #1483 & #1694)

    • CLI script for processing a raw Wikipedia dump (the xml.bz2 format provided by WikiMedia) to extract its articles in a plain text format. It extracts each article's title, section names and section content and saves them as json-line:

      python -m gensim.scripts.segment_wiki -f enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 | gzip > enwiki-latest-pages-articles.json.gz

      Processing the entire English Wikipedia dump (13.5 GB, link here) takes about 2.5 hours (i7-6700HQ, SSD).

      The output format is one article per line, serialized into JSON:

         for line in smart_open('enwiki-latest-pages-articles.json.gz'):  # read the file we just created
       article = json.loads(line)
       print("Article title: %s" % article['title'])
       for section_title, section_text in zip(article['section_titles'], article['section_texts']):
           print("Section title: %s" % section_title)
           print("Section text: %s" % section_text)
 ```

  • Fix automatic learning of eta (prior over words) in LDA (@olavurmortensen, #1024).
    • eta should have dimensionality V (size of vocab) not K (number of topics). eta with shape K x V is still allowed, as the user may want to impose specific prior information to each topic.
    • eta is no longer allowed the "asymmetric" option. Asymmetric priors over words in general are fine (learned or user defined).
    • As a result, the eta update (update_eta) was simplified some. It also no longer logs eta when updated, because it is too large for that.
    • Unit tests were updated accordingly. The unit tests expect a different shape than before; some unit tests were redundant after the change; eta='asymmetric' now should raise an error.

0.12.4, 2016-01-29

  • Better internal handling of job batching in word2vec (#535)
    • up to 300% speed up when training on very short documents (~tweets)
  • Word2vec CLI in line with original word2vec.c (Andrey Kutuzov, #538)
  • Improved load_word2vec_format() performance (@svenkreiss, #555)
    • Remove init_sims() call for performance improvements when normalized vectors are not needed.
    • Remove norm_only parameter (API change). Call init_sims(replace=True) after the load_word2vec_format() call for the old norm_only=True behavior.
  • Word2vec allows non-strict unicode error handling (ignore or replace) (Gordon Mohr, #466)
  • Doc2Vec model.docvecs[key] now raises KeyError for unknown keys (Gordon Mohr, #520)
  • Fix DocvecsArray.index_to_doctag so most_similar() returns string doctags (Gordon Mohr, #560)

  • Prevent ZeroDivisionError when default_timer() indicate no elapsed time (Gordon Mohr, #518)
  • Forwards compatibility for NumPy > 1.10 (Matti Lyra, #494, #513)
    • LdaModel and LdaMulticore produce a large number of DeprecationWarnings from .inference() because the term ids in each chunk returned from utils.grouper are floats. This behaviour has been changed so that the term IDs are now ints.
    • utils.grouper returns a python list instead of a numpy array in .update() when LdaModel is called in non distributed mode
    • in distributed mode .update() will still call utils.grouper with as_numpy=True to save memory
    • LdaModel.update and LdaMulticore.update have a new keyword parameter chunks_as_numpy=True/False (defaults to False) that allows controlling this behaviour

0.12.3, 2015-11-05

  • Make show_topics return value consistent across models (Christopher Corley, #448)
    • All models with the show_topics method should return a list of (topic_number, topic) tuples, where topic is a list of (word, probability) tuples.
    • This is a breaking change that affects users of the LsiModel, LdaModel, and LdaMulticore that may be reliant on the old tuple layout of (probability, word).
  • Mixed integer & string document-tags (keys to doc-vectors) will work (Gordon Mohr, #491)
    • DocvecsArray's index2doctag list is renamed/reinterpreted as offset2doctag
    • offset2doctag entries map to doctag_syn0 indexes after last plain-int doctag (if any)
    • (If using only string doctags, offset2doctag may be interpreted same as index2doctag.)

  • a new model, non-parametric bayes: HDP (thx to Jonathan Esterhazy; based on Chong Wang's code)
  • improved support for new scipy versions (thx to Skipper Seabold)
  • lemmatizer support for wikipedia parsing (via the pattern python package)
  • extended the lemmatizer for multi-core processing, to improve its performance

0.8.3, 2011-12-02

  • fixed Similarity sharding bug (issue #65, thx to Paul Rudin)
  • improved LDA code (clarity & memory footprint)
  • optimized efficiency of Similarity sharding

0.8.2, 2011-10-31

  • improved gensim landing page
  • improved accuracy of SVD (Latent Semantic Analysis) (thx to Mark Tygert)
  • changed interpretation of LDA topics: github issue #57
  • took out similarity server code introduced in 0.8.1 (will become a separate project)
  • started using tox for testing
    • several smaller fixes and optimizations

0.8.1, 2011-10-10

  • transactional similarity server: see docs/simserver.html
  • website moved from university hosting to radimrehurek.com
  • much improved speed of lsi[corpus] transformation:
  • accuracy tests of incremental svd: test/svd_error.py and http://groups.google.com/group/gensim/browse_thread/thread/4b605b72f8062770
  • further improvements to memory-efficiency of LDA and LSA
  • improved wiki preprocessing (thx to Luca de Alfaro)
  • model.print_topics() debug fncs now support std output, in addition to logging (thx to Homer Strong)
  • several smaller fixes and improvements

0.8.0 (Armageddon), 2011-06-28

  • changed all variable and function names to comply with PEP8 (numTopics->num_topics): BREAKS BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY!
  • added support for similarity querying more documents at once (index[query_documents] in addition to index[query_document]; much faster)
  • rewrote Similarity so that it is more efficient and scalable (using disk-based mmap'ed shards)
  • simplified directory structure (src/gensim/ is now only gensim/)
  • several small fixes and optimizations

0.7.8, 2011-03-26

  • added corpora.IndexedCorpus, a base class for corpus serializers (thx to Dieter Plaetinck). This allows corpus formats that inherit from it (MmCorpus, SvmLightCorpus, BleiCorpus etc.) to retrieve individual documents by their id in O(1), e.g. corpus[14] returns document #14.
  • merged new code from the LarKC.eu team (corpora.textcorpus, models.logentropy_model, lots of unit tests etc.)
  • fixed a bug in lda[bow] transformation (was returning gamma distribution instead of theta). LDA model generation was not affected, only transforming new vectors.
  • several small fixes and documentation updates

0.7.7, 2011-02-13

  • new LDA implementation after Hoffman et al.: Online Learning for Latent Dirichlet Allocation
  • distributed LDA
  • updated LDA docs (wiki experiments, distributed tutorial)
  • matrixmarket header now uses capital 'M's: MatrixMarket. (André Lynum reported than Matlab has trouble processing the lowercase version)
  • moved code to github
  • started gensim Google group

0.7.6, 2011-01-10

  • added workaround for a bug in numpy: pickling a fortran-order array (e.g. LSA model) and then loading it back and using it results in segfault (thx to Brian Merrel)
  • bundled a new version of ez_setup.py: old failed with Python2.6 when setuptools were missing (thx to Alan Salmoni).

0.7.5, 2010-11-03

  • further optimization to LSA; this is the version used in my NIPS workshop paper
  • got rid of SVDLIBC dependency (one-pass LSA now uses stochastic algo for base-base decompositions)

0.7.4

  • sped up Latent Dirichlet ~10x (through scipy.weave, optional)
  • finally, distributed LDA! scales almost linearly, but no tutorial yet. see the tutorial on distributed LSI, everything's completely analogous.
  • several minor fixes and improvements; one nasty bug fixed (lsi[corpus] didn't work; thx to Danilo Spinelli)

0.7.3

  • added stochastic SVD decomposition (faster than the current one-pass LSI algo, but needs two passes over the input corpus)
  • published gensim on mloss.org

0.7.2

  • added workaround for a numpy bug where SVD sometimes fails to converge for no good reason
  • changed content of gensims's PyPi title page
  • completed HTML tutorial on distributed LSA

0.7.1

  • fixed a bug in LSA that occurred when the number of features was smaller than the number of topics (thx to Richard Berendsen)

0.7.0

  • optimized vocabulary generation in gensim.corpora.dictionary (faster and less memory-intense)
  • MmCorpus accepts compressed input (file-like objects such as GzipFile, BZ2File; to save disk space)
  • changed sparse solver to SVDLIBC (sparsesvd on PyPi) for large document chunks
  • added distributed LSA, updated tutorials (still experimental though)
  • several minor bug fixes

0.6.0

  • added option for online LSI training (yay!). the transformation can now be used after any amount of training, and training can be continued at any time with more data.
  • optimized the tf-idf transformation, so that it is a strictly one-pass algorithm in all cases (thx to Brian Merrell).
  • fixed Windows-specific bug in handling binary files (thx to Sutee Sudprasert)
  • fixed 1-based feature counting bug in SVMlight format (thx to Richard Berendsen)
  • added 'Topic :: Text Processing :: Linguistic' to gensim's pypi classifiers
  • change of sphinx documentation css and layout
