I am using GloVe as part of my research. I've downloaded the models from here. I've been using GloVe for sentence classification. The sentences I'm classifying are specific to a particular domain, say some STEM subject. However, since the existing GloVe models are trained on a general corpus, they may not yield the best results for my particular task.
So my question is, how would I go about loading the retrained model and just retraining it a little more on my own corpus to learn the semantics of my corpus as well? There would be merit in doing this were it possible.
After a little digging, I found this issue on the git repo. Someone suggested the following:
Yeah, this is not going to work well due to the optimization setup. But what you can do is train GloVe vectors on your own corpus and then concatenate those with the pretrained GloVe vectors for use in your end application.
So that answers that.
