SSE Model pertained word vectors loading

[Shuailong]

Hi Wuwei,

Thanks for sharing the code and learned from your code! I have a small question below:

I found that for other models you use from torchtext.vocab import load_word_vectors to load pretrained word vectors while for SSE model, you directly use torch.load(EMB_FILE) to load the pickled embeddings. However, I could not find the embedding files in the data folder you provided. Could you please upload this file?

Thanks!

Regards,
Shuailong

Hi Shuailong,

When you specify the embedding path and name, torchtext will automatically download data from GloVe website: https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/ , which is saved into your local machine.

Best,

So How shall I set the EMB_FILE variable?

[lanwuwei]

just run this command:
wv_dict, wv_arr, wv_size = load_word_vectors('/your/local/path/', 'glove.840B', 300)
It will download glove.840B.300d.zip
Note: the torchtext version in my code is 0.1.1
