# CC100 GloVe Embeddings for AM Language

## Model Description
- **Language:** am
- **Embedding Algorithm:** GloVe (Global Vectors for Word Representation)
- **Vocabulary Size:** 538000
- **Vector Dimensions:** 300
- **Training Data:** CC100 dataset

## Training Information
We trained GloVe embeddings using the original C code. The model was trained by stochastically sampling nonzero elements from the co-occurrence matrix, over 100 iterations, to produce 300-dimensional vectors. We used a context window of ten words to the left and ten words to the right. Words with fewer than 5 co-occurrences were excluded for languages with over 1 million tokens in the training data, and the threshold was set to 2 for languages with smaller datasets.

We used data from CC100 for training the static word embeddings. We set xmax = 100, α = 3/4, and used AdaGrad optimization with an initial learning rate of 0.05.

## Usage
These embeddings can be used for various NLP tasks such as text classification, named entity recognition, and as input features for neural networks.
