word2vec-russian-novels 📖

Fun digital humanities project by Boris Orekhov

Inspired by this work the replacement of words of Russian most valuable novels text with closest word2vec model words.

I used a model (ruwikiruscorpora) from RusVectōrēs project.

Other dependencies:

• gensim
• pymorphy2

Possible applications:

• Fun
• Source for tests for so called "olympic" competitions in literature
• Base for literary studies that include the principle question "why this word, not the other?"

word2vec-russian-novels's Issues

Request for English version or how to edit original

Hello:

Thanks for posting this repo. I have your original Russian word2novel.py running 100% with the ruwikiruscorpora.

Unfortunately I don't speak/read Russian I was wondering if you could post an English version that runs with GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz or similar English model?

I've hacked my way through your script by changing all Russian characters to English but it only outputs the original English files to the "books_after" folder.

Thanks
