ruimtehol 0.3.2 (2024-02-22)

• Docs of starspace and starspace_dictionary: fix use of {} in itemize items
• Remove compliance.cpp and compliance.h and move the abort/exit statements directly in the cpp files
• Drop C++11 specification in Makevars
  • hereby replacing use of std::random_shuffle with the Fisher-Yates Shuffle Algorithm as indicated at https://gallery.rcpp.org/articles/stl-random-shuffle/ - as data is reshuffled, model training will give different results compared to previous versions due to different randomisations of the training data

ruimtehol 0.3.1 (2023-01-06)

• Changes in src/Starspace/src/model.cpp (EmbedModel::train). On Windows, no longer use threads as on CRAN that seems to make the package FAIL.

ruimtehol 0.3 (2020-11-29)

• Fixed a bug in saving models trained with ngrams > 1. Embeddings of hashed buckets were not saved.
• Default of bucket argument to the textspace C++ function is now changed to 100000 instead of 2000000, impacting all models with ngrams > 1. This was done as the embeddings of the buckets are now saved
• as.matrix.textspace now also allows to get the LHS and RHS embeddings

ruimtehol 0.2.5 (2020-10-10)

• Make example conditionally on availability of udpipe

ruimtehol 0.2.4

• Changes to vignette: specify maxTrainTime in examples to avoid issues at CRAN caused by randomisation of starting values.

ruimtehol 0.2.3 (2020-01-10)

• Changes to src/Makevars
  • Changes in src/Starspace/src/model.cpp (EmbedModel::train). On Mac, no longer use threads as on CRAN that seems to make the package FAIL (while on Travis it did not - see issue #10)

ruimtehol 0.2.2

• fix for embed_sentencespace & embed_docspace & embed_articlespace, sentences should be separated by "\t", not " \t " in order to avoid having "" in the dictionary

ruimtehol 0.2.1 (2019-05-31)

• remove the GNU make as part of the SystemRequirements

ruimtehol 0.2 (2019-05-08)

• Allow to do transfer learning by passing an embedding matrix and keep on training based on that matrix
• Allow to do semi-supervised learning easily with embed_tagspace
• Attributes attached to a model are now also restored when loading a model with starspace_load_model of type 'ruimtehol'
• Add range.textspace to get the range of embedding similarities
• starspace now also returns the loss before training instead of only starting from epoch 1

ruimtehol 0.1.2 (2019-01-28)

• Changes to src/Makevars
  • Added -pthread in PKG_CPPFLAGS and removed usage of SHLIB_PTHREAD_FLAGS

ruimtehol 0.1.1 (2019-01-08)

• Initial release based on STARSPACE-2017-2.
