Load Pretrained glove vectors in python

Question

I have downloaded pretrained glove vector file from the internet. It is a .txt file. I am unable to load and access it. It is easy to load and access a word vector binary file u

Answer 1

Here's a one liner if all you want is the embedding matrix

np.loadtxt(path, usecols=range(1, dim+1), comments=None)

where path is path to your downloaded GloVe file and dim is the dimension of the word embedding.

If you want both the words and corresponding vectors you can do

glove = np.loadtxt(path, dtype='str', comments=None)

and seperate the words and vectors as follows

words = glove[:, 0]
vectors = glove[:, 1:].astype('float')
