Get Closest - Method

A method of Embedding class to get N closest related words.

Getting Started

Get Closest function provides the N closely associated words for the given input string.

Example
# coding:utf-8
from indicLP.preproccessing import Embedding

language = "ta"

word = "பள்ளி"
embedder = Embedding(lang=language)

for i in closest:
    (word, score) = i
    print(word,round(score,2))
