Information request : how do I create a word-space on my own??

[raja-anbazhagan]

The available wordspaces for English are from 2013 as I understand from the file names. Is there are a new wordspace for English available? Or how can I make one?

You can create wordspaces with DISCOBuilder.

The easiest way is to import existing vector files created with fastText or word2vec. Those are available here, for instance (from 2018).

If you want to create a wordspace from scratch using your own text corpus there are two ways:

• create vector files (low-dimensional dense vectors = word embeddings) using e.g. fastText, then import them with DISCOBuilder as above.
• create a genuine DISCO word space (high-dimensional sparse vectors) with DISCOBuilder as described here.

Thanks, @pekoli . One more clarification. I do not see the source for DISCOBuilder in the repository. Is there any specific branch that I should look at?
