How to save word2vec vectors in a simple text file?

[santosh.b...@gmail.com]

Hello Community, 

I was wondering if there was a way to export the keyed word2vec vectors previously saved in binary format to a simple text file in the following format:

sausage 0.1234 -0.5555 1.4149

(i.e. word, space, float, space, float, space float … newline).

Thanks!

Oh, got it. Was able to do it as follows:

w2v.save_word2vec_format('corpus_vectors.txt', binary= False, write_header= False)

Note that by using `write_header=False`, there's no initial header line declaring the count of vectors included - that makes the text file unlike the format used by Google's original `word2vec.c` tool, but like that used by GLoVe. 

To re-read such vectors into Gensim requires the non-default `no_header=True` argument to `load_word2vec_format()`, and takes about twice as much time/IO, because one whole extra pass is required to discover the count of vectors included.

Hm.

I've got:

AttributeError: 'Word2Vec' object has no attribute 'save_word2vec_format'

You need w2v.wv.save_word2vec_format('corpus_vectors.txt', binary= False, write_header= False)
