Using Bigram Paragraph Vectors for Concept Detection
Recently, I was working on a project using paragraph vectors at work (with gensim’s Doc2Vec model) and noticed that the Doc2Vec model didn’t natively interac...
Exposing a Word2Vec Model with a RESTful API Using Only a Jupyter Notebook (No Web-Development Skills Required!)
In this post, we’ll use a Jupyter notebook as a backend RESTful service to expose a Word2Vec model we trained previously in my write up on Analyzing Rap Lyri...
Using Naive Bayes to Predict a Song’s Genre Given its Lyrics
In this post, we’ll implement the popular machine-learning algorithm, naive Bayes, to predict a genre given some lyrics.
