sent2vec in Gensim

[bhargavvader]

The EPFL ML group have come up with a sentence embedding technique, sent2vec. The repo with the code can be found here.

It would be interesting to have this feature in Gensim, either with a wrapper or otherwise.

@menshikh-iv could you please add the appropriate labels for this?

[menshikh-iv]

@bhargavvader of course :)

[souravsingh]

I am interested in working on the issue.

[colmantse]

I am also interested, but I am new on GitHub. Would be great if this could be my first contribution.

[martinjaggi]

happy to help if any questions should come up. note that our current code is very close to fasttext (though unsupervised), so integration should be not too hard

[simonhessner]

Just wanted to ask for updates regarding sent2vec in gensim. Is somebody currently working on it?

[menshikh-iv]

@simonhessner this is almost done in #1619, will be merged soon (I hope).

[SriniNaga]

@menshikh-iv Is this feature(Sent2Vec) available in Gensim now?

[menshikh-iv]

@SriniNaga sorry, still not merged, will be available in 3.7.0

[wandabwa2004]

@menshikh-iv any timelines for version 3.7.0?

[menshikh-iv]

@wandabwa2004 no, this is still not scheduled

@prerna135 what's a status of #1619?

• Build still failing
• Performance measurement (in comparison to other any2vec models)
• Memory consumption (we discuss that this is too high)

You promised that you'll have a look and fix if needed in September, what's going on?

Any improvements on this issue?

[mpenkov]

No. The original author has abandoned the PR, and I don't have the bandwidth to take it on myself right now. If anyone is able and willing to push it over the line, please go ahead by all means.
