Initializing tensorflow Variable with an array larger than 2GB

Question

I am trying to initialize a tensorflow Variable with pre-trained word2vec embeddings.

I have the following code:

import ten         


        

Answer 1

try this:

import tensorflow as tf
from gensim import models

model = models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format('./GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin', binary=True)
X = model.syn0

embeddings = tf.Variable(tf.random_uniform(X.shape, minval=-0.1, maxval=0.1), trainable=False)

sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
embeddings.load(model.syn0, sess)
