| Dense, real valued vectors representing distributional similarity
| information are now a cornerstone of practical NLP. The most common way
| to train these vectors is the #[+a("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec") word2vec]
| family of algorithms. The default
| #[+a("/docs/usage/models#available") English model] installs
| 300-dimensional vectors trained on the Common Crawl
| corpus using the #[+a("http://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/") GloVe]
| algorithm. The GloVe common crawl vectors have become a de facto
| standard for practical NLP.
+aside("Tip: Training a word2vec model")
| If you need to train a word2vec model, we recommend the implementation in
| the Python library #[+a("https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/") Gensim].

| By default, #[+api("token#vector") #[code Token.vector]] returns the
| vector for its underlying #[+api("lexeme") #[code Lexeme]], while
| #[+api("doc#vector") #[code Doc.vector]] and
| #[+api("span#vector") #[code Span.vector]] return an average of the
| vectors of their tokens. You can customize these
| behaviours by modifying the #[code doc.user_hooks],
| #[code doc.user_span_hooks] and #[code doc.user_token_hooks]
| dictionaries.
