AttributeError: type object 'Word2Vec' has no attribute 'load_word2vec_format'
Solution 1
gojomo's answer is rightgensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format("GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz", binary=True)
try to upgrade all dependencies of gensim(e.g. smart_open), if you still have errors as follows
pip install --upgrade gensim
File "/home/liangn/PythonProjects/DeepRecommendation/Algorithm/Word2Vec.py", line 18, in init self.model = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(w2v_path, binary=True)
File "/home/liangn/PythonProjects/venvLiang/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gensim/models/keyedvectors.py", line 191, in load_word2vec_format with utils.smart_open(fname) as fin:
File "/home/liangn/PythonProjects/venvLiang/lib/python2.7/site-packages/smart_open/smart_open_lib.py", line 138, in smart_open return file_smart_open(parsed_uri.uri_path, mode)

How did you install gensim, and what version is installed?
API changes in (currently pre-release) gensim 1.0 move load_word2vec_format()
to a helper class called KeyedVectors
.
At this point (February 2017) you probably don't want to be using a pre-release version unless you're an experienced gensim user and closely follow the release-notes [CHANGELOG.md][1]
.
If intentionally using a later version of gensim with this API change, you would instead use:
KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format("GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz", binary=True)

I am trying to implement word2vec model and getting Attribute error
AttributeError: type object 'Word2Vec' has no attribute 'load_word2vec_format'
Below is the code :
wv = Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format("GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz", binary=True) wv.init_sims(replace=True)
Please let me know the issue ?

Rishabh Rusia about 7 yearsI am new to gensim and using 1.0.0rc2. I tried using KeyedVector: import KeyedVectors KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format("GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz", binary=True) but still I am getting the error. I am using Python 2.7, should I upgrade to Anaconda as some packages works good there

gojomo about 7 yearsHow did you install gensim? I don't believe
pip install gensim
would get you that pre-release version. What actual error are you getting after trying to useKeyedVector
? (It can't possible be the same error, and the exact messages matter for solving.)
