Hey all,

I started this a couple of months back but ran into a couple of issues and sort of just had it on the backburner. I worked on it these last couple of days and I've gotten it to a usable state.

https://github.com/domluna/Glove.jl

I haven't done anything to make it parallel yet, that would be the next big performance win.

Any tips or contributions to make it better would be more than welcome :)

Hi Dom,

It would be useful to include a short description when announcing a package. 

Cheers,

Thanks Kevin. This slipped my mind.

Glove (or rather GloVe, Glove is just easier to type) stands for Global Word Vectors. The package implements the algorithm in described http://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/. The idea is to represent words as a vector of floats that capture word similarities. For example, "king - man + woman = queen" (operating on word vectors). The other popular implementation is word2vec, https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/.
