Research datasets regularly disappear, change over time, become obsolete or come without a sane implementation to handle the data format reading and processing.
For this reason, Gensim launched its own dataset storage, committed to long-term support, a sane standardized usage API and focused on datasets for unstructured text processing (no images or audio). This Gensim-data repository serves as that storage.
There's no need for you to use this repository directly. Instead, simply install Gensim and use its download API (see the Quickstart below). It will "talk" to this repository automagically.
💡 When you use the Gensim download API, all data is stored in your ~/gensim-data home folder.
Read more about the project rationale and design decisions in this article: New Download API for Pretrained NLP Models and Datasets.
Technically, the actual (sometimes large) corpora and model files are being stored as release attachments here on Github. Each dataset (and each new version of each dataset) gets its own release, forever immutable.
Each release is accompanied by a usage example and release notes, for example: Corpus of USPTO Patents from 2017; English Wikipedia from 2017 with plaintext section.
🔴 Each dataset comes with its own license, which the users should study carefully before using the dataset!
To load a model or corpus, use either the Python or command line interface of Gensim (you'll need Gensim installed first):
-
Python API
Example: load a pre-trained model (gloVe word vectors):
import gensim.downloader as api info = api.info() # show info about available models/datasets model = api.load("glove-twitter-25") # download the model and return as object ready for use model.most_similar("cat") """ output: [(u'dog', 0.9590819478034973), (u'monkey', 0.9203578233718872), (u'bear', 0.9143137335777283), (u'pet', 0.9108031392097473), (u'girl', 0.8880630135536194), (u'horse', 0.8872727155685425), (u'kitty', 0.8870542049407959), (u'puppy', 0.886769711971283), (u'hot', 0.8865255117416382), (u'lady', 0.8845518827438354)] """
Example: load a corpus and use it to train a Word2Vec model:
from gensim.models.word2vec import Word2Vec import gensim.downloader as api corpus = api.load('text8') # download the corpus and return it opened as an iterable model = Word2Vec(corpus) # train a model from the corpus model.most_similar("car") """ output: [(u'driver', 0.8273754119873047), (u'motorcycle', 0.769528865814209), (u'cars', 0.7356342077255249), (u'truck', 0.7331641912460327), (u'taxi', 0.718338131904602), (u'vehicle', 0.7177008390426636), (u'racing', 0.6697118878364563), (u'automobile', 0.6657308340072632), (u'passenger', 0.6377975344657898), (u'glider', 0.6374964714050293)] """
Example: only download a dataset and return the local file path (no opening):
import gensim.downloader as api print(api.load("20-newsgroups", return_path=True)) # output: /home/user/gensim-data/20-newsgroups/20-newsgroups.gz print(api.load("glove-twitter-25", return_path=True)) # output: /home/user/gensim-data/glove-twitter-25/glove-twitter-25.gz
-
The same operations, but from CLI, command line interface:
python -m gensim.downloader --info # show info about available models/datasets python -m gensim.downloader --download text8 # download text8 dataset to ~/gensim-data/text8 python -m gensim.downloader --download glove-twitter-25 # download model to ~/gensim-data/glove-twitter-50/

| fake-news | 19 MB | News dataset, contains text and metadata from 244 websites and represents 12,999 posts in total from a specific window of 30 days. The data was pulled using the webhose.io API, and because it's coming from their crawler, not all websites identified by their BS Detector are present in this dataset. Data sources that were missing a label were simply assigned a label of 'bs'.

| conceptnet-numberbatch-17-06-300 | 1917247 | 1168 MB | ConceptNet, word2vec, GloVe, and OpenSubtitles 2016 | ConceptNet Numberbatch consists of state-of-the-art semantic vectors (also known as word embeddings) that can be used directly as a representation of word meanings or as a starting point for further machine learning. ConceptNet Numberbatch is part of the ConceptNet open data project. ConceptNet provides lots of ways to compute with word meanings, one of which is word embeddings. ConceptNet Numberbatch is a snapshot of just the word embeddings. It is built using an ensemble that combines data from ConceptNet, word2vec, GloVe, and OpenSubtitles 2016, using a variation on retrofitting. |
