PsychWordVec: Word Embedding Research Framework for Psychological Science

An integrative toolbox of word embedding research that provides: (1) a collection of 'pre-trained' static word vectors in the '.RData' compressed format <https://psychbruce.github.io/WordVector_RData.pdf>; (2) a group of functions to process, analyze, and visualize word vectors; (3) a range of tests to examine conceptual associations, including the Word Embedding Association Test <doi:10.1126/science.aal4230> and the Relative Norm Distance <doi:10.1073/pnas.1720347115>, with permutation test of significance; and (4) a set of training methods to locally train (static) word vectors from text corpora, including 'Word2Vec' <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1301.3781>, 'GloVe' <doi:10.3115/v1/D14-1162>, and 'FastText' <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1607.04606>.
