PsychWordVec (version 2025.3)

normalize: Normalize all word vectors to the unit length 1.

Description

L2-normalization (scaling to unit euclidean length): the norm of each vector in the vector space will be normalized to 1. It is necessary for any linear operation of word vectors.

R code:

  • Vector: vec / sqrt(sum(vec^2))

  • Matrix: mat / sqrt(rowSums(mat^2))

Usage

normalize(x)

Value

A wordvec (data.table) or embed (matrix) with normalized word vectors.

Arguments

x

A wordvec (data.table) or embed (matrix), see data_wordvec_load.
