Get Vector - Method

A method of Embedding class to get embedding vector for a word.

Getting Started

Get Vector function provides the embedding vector for a given input argument.

Example

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

language = "ta"

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

print(embedder.get_vector(word))

#Output is:
# [-0.38245687 -0.43007085  0.75659156 -0.029661    0.42061085 -0.78045815
