title: Vectors
teaser: Store, save and load word vectors
tag: class
source: spacy/vectors.pyx
new: 2
---
Vectors data is kept in the `Vectors.data` attribute, which should be an
instance of `numpy.ndarray` (for CPU vectors) or `cupy.ndarray` (for GPU
vectors). Multiple keys can be mapped to the same vector, and not all of the
rows in the table need to be assigned – so `vectors.n_keys` may be greater or
smaller than `vectors.shape[0]`.
## Vectors.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
Create a new vector store. You can set the vector values and keys directly on
initialization, or supply a `shape` keyword argument to create an empty table
you can add vectors to later.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> from spacy.vectors import Vectors
>
> empty_vectors = Vectors(shape=(10000, 300))
>
> data = numpy.zeros((3, 300), dtype='f')
> keys = ["cat", "dog", "rat"]
> vectors = Vectors(data=data, keys=keys)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `shape` | Size of the table as `(n_entries, n_columns)`, the number of entries and number of columns. Not required if you're initializing the object with `data` and `keys`. ~~Tuple[int, int]~~ |
| `data` | The vector data. ~~numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]~~ |
| `keys` | A sequence of keys aligned with the data. ~~Iterable[Union[str, int]]~~ |
| `name` | A name to identify the vectors table. ~~str~~ |
## Vectors.\_\_getitem\_\_ {#getitem tag="method"}
Get a vector by key. If the key is not found in the table, a `KeyError` is
raised.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> cat_id = nlp.vocab.strings["cat"]
> cat_vector = nlp.vocab.vectors[cat_id]
> assert cat_vector == nlp.vocab["cat"].vector
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `key` | The key to get the vector for. ~~int~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The vector for the key. ~~numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]~~ |
## Vectors.\_\_setitem\_\_ {#setitem tag="method"}
Set a vector for the given key.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> cat_id = nlp.vocab.strings["cat"]
> vector = numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, (300,))
> nlp.vocab.vectors[cat_id] = vector
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `key` | The key to set the vector for. ~~int~~ |
| `vector` | The vector to set. ~~numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]~~ |
## Vectors.\_\_iter\_\_ {#iter tag="method"}
Iterate over the keys in the table.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> for key in nlp.vocab.vectors:
> print(key, nlp.vocab.strings[key])
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | --------------------------- |
| **YIELDS** | A key in the table. ~~int~~ |
## Vectors.\_\_len\_\_ {#len tag="method"}
Return the number of vectors in the table.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> vectors = Vectors(shape=(3, 300))
> assert len(vectors) == 3
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The number of vectors in the table. ~~int~~ |
## Vectors.\_\_contains\_\_ {#contains tag="method"}
Check whether a key has been mapped to a vector entry in the table.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> cat_id = nlp.vocab.strings["cat"]
> nlp.vocab.vectors.add(cat_id, numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, (300,)))
> assert cat_id in vectors
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `key` | The key to check. ~~int~~ |
| **RETURNS** | Whether the key has a vector entry. ~~bool~~ |
## Vectors.add {#add tag="method"}
Add a key to the table, optionally setting a vector value as well. Keys can be
mapped to an existing vector by setting `row`, or a new vector can be added.
When adding string keys, keep in mind that the `Vectors` class itself has no
[`StringStore`](/api/stringstore), so you have to store the hash-to-string
mapping separately. If you need to manage the strings, you should use the
`Vectors` via the [`Vocab`](/api/vocab) class, e.g. `vocab.vectors`.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> vector = numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, (300,))
> cat_id = nlp.vocab.strings["cat"]
> nlp.vocab.vectors.add(cat_id, vector=vector)
> nlp.vocab.vectors.add("dog", row=0)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `key` | The key to add. ~~Union[str, int]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `vector` | An optional vector to add for the key. ~~numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]~~ |
| `row` | An optional row number of a vector to map the key to. ~~int~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The row the vector was added to. ~~int~~ |
## Vectors.resize {#resize tag="method"}
Resize the underlying vectors array. If `inplace=True`, the memory is
reallocated. This may cause other references to the data to become invalid, so
only use `inplace=True` if you're sure that's what you want. If the number of
vectors is reduced, keys mapped to rows that have been deleted are removed.
These removed items are returned as a list of `(key, row)` tuples.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> removed = nlp.vocab.vectors.resize((10000, 300))
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

> print(key, nlp.vocab.strings[key])
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | --------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The keys. ~~Iterable[int]~~ |
## Vectors.values {#values tag="method"}
Iterate over vectors that have been assigned to at least one key. Note that some
vectors may be unassigned, so the number of vectors returned may be less than
the length of the vectors table.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> for vector in nlp.vocab.vectors.values():
> print(vector)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **YIELDS** | A vector in the table. ~~numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]~~ |
## Vectors.items {#items tag="method"}
Iterate over `(key, vector)` pairs, in order.
> #### Example

> for key, vector in nlp.vocab.vectors.items():
> print(key, nlp.vocab.strings[key], vector)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **YIELDS** | `(key, vector)` pairs, in order. ~~Tuple[int, numpy.ndarray[ndim=1, dtype=float32]]~~ |
## Vectors.find {#find tag="method"}
Look up one or more keys by row, or vice versa.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> row = nlp.vocab.vectors.find(key="cat")
> rows = nlp.vocab.vectors.find(keys=["cat", "dog"])
> key = nlp.vocab.vectors.find(row=256)
> keys = nlp.vocab.vectors.find(rows=[18, 256, 985])

## Vectors.shape {#shape tag="property"}
Get `(rows, dims)` tuples of number of rows and number of dimensions in the
vector table.
> #### Example
>
> ```python

| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------ |
| **RETURNS** | The vector size. ~~int~~ |
## Vectors.is_full {#is_full tag="property"}

| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | Whether the vectors table is full. ~~bool~~ |
## Vectors.n_keys {#n_keys tag="property"}
Get the number of keys in the table. Note that this is the number of _all_ keys,
not just unique vectors. If several keys are mapped to the same vectors, they
will be counted individually.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> vectors = Vectors(shape=(10, 300))
> assert len(vectors) == 10
> assert vectors.n_keys == 0
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The number of all keys in the table. ~~int~~ |
## Vectors.most_similar {#most_similar tag="method"}
For each of the given vectors, find the `n` most similar entries to it by
cosine. Queries are by vector. Results are returned as a
`(keys, best_rows, scores)` tuple. If `queries` is large, the calculations are
performed in chunks to avoid consuming too much memory. You can set the
`batch_size` to control the size/space trade-off during the calculations.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> queries = numpy.asarray([numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, (300,))])
> most_similar = nlp.vocab.vectors.most_similar(queries, n=10)
