Semantic Extraction

Requirements

Execution of this project requires the use of the Python Development Master (pdm). Please install pdm before continuing. See installation instructions here.

Running the code

Running the code is as simple as running some make commands

1. $ make init
2. You can now run any of the train, validate, or test-emerging targets

Training will take some time. But you can run the first couple of training iterations if you would like to test that.

validate and test-emerging will work right away because of the inclusion of the pre-trained models.

Make targets

Most of the major methods of execution are covered by targets within a Makefile.

• make download: Download datasets and trained models
• make install: Install dependencies with pdm
• make init: Run download and install targets
• make train: Train month-to-month word2vec models
• make validate: Run validation script on all channels trained model
• make test-emerging: Test emerging terms script between two models

All scripts can be run with pdm run python <script.py> --help to see options for running.

NOTE: training on the full dataset consumed over 110 GB of ram. And took 7+ hours
