Changes

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, 2018-01-02

🌟 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)))
        break

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)
 ```

    • 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)
  • On-demand loading of the pattern library in utils.lemmatize (Jan Zikes, #461)
    • utils.HAS_PATTERN flag moved to utils.has_pattern()

  • 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)

  • 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

0.5.0

  • finished all tutorials, stable version

0.4.7

  • tutorial on transformations

0.4.6

  • added Random Projections (aka Random Indexing), as another transformation model.
  • several DML-CZ specific updates

0.4.5

  • updated documentation
  • further memory optimizations in SVD (LSI)

0.4.4

  • added missing test files to MANIFEST.in

0.4.3

  • documentation changes
  • added gensim reference to Wikipedia articles (SVD, LSI, LDA, TFIDF, ...)

0.4.2

  • finally, a tutorial!
  • similarity queries got their own package

0.4.1

  • pdf documentation
  • removed dependency on python2.5 (theoretically, gensim now runs on 2.6 and 2.7 as well).

0.4.0

  • support for python setup.py test
  • fixing package metadata
  • documentation clean-up

0.2.0

  • First version
