What Hacker News says
2 sourcesMaybe it wasn't clear, but we open-sourced everything, including the trained model. See here:
https://github.com/spacy-io/sense2vec
For installation:
$ pip install -e git+git://github.com/spacy-io/sense2vec.git#egg=sense2vec
$ python -m sense2vec.download
This downloads and installs the sense2vec package and model we used in the demo.
We are currently working on finishing the PyPI package. Meanwhile only Linux is supported and the docs are pretty much non-existing. Also, please make sure you have a recent Blas/Atlas package installed (RedHat: atlas, atlas-devel)
