Description There are many ways to find similar words/docs with an open-source Natural Language processing library Gensim that I maintain.

Abstract What is the most similar word to "king"? It depends on what you mean by similar. "King" can be interchanged with "Canute", but it's attribute is "crown". We will discuss how to achieve these two kinds of similarity from word embeddings. Also touch on how to deal with the common issues of rare, frequent and out of vocabulary words
