Algebra with Words

Type:	Algoliterary exploration
Technique:	Word embeddings
Developed by:	Radim Rehurek and Petr Sojka & Algolit

Word embeddings are language modelling techniques that through multiple mathematical operations of counting and ordering, plot words into a multi-dimensional vector space. When embedding words, they transform from being distinct symbols into mathematical objects that can be operated on.

This exploration is using gensim, an open source vector space and topic modelling toolkit implemented in Python, to manipulate text according to the mathematic relationships which emerge between the words, once they have been plotted in a vector space.
