Basic example in readme fails (Word2Vec download 404s)

[SebastianCallh]

Running the example in the readme

using Embeddings
const embtable = load_embeddings(Word2Vec) # or load_embeddings(FastText_Text) or ...

fails with

ERROR: HTTP.ExceptionRequest.StatusError(404, "GET", "/dl4j-distribution/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz", HTTP.Messages.Response:

Are the word2vec embeddings available elsewhere? Otherwise this should probably be addressed in the readme.

A good question, I suspect they must be available somewhere else. They are so often used, though they are old now.

I just added the weights to hugging face: https://huggingface.co/LoganKilpatrick/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300/blob/main/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz

Thanks for opening this issue and the replies so far. I copied the new URL and inserted at this line: https://github.com/JuliaText/Embeddings.jl/blob/306c04bead62b32873dedbc2609c74c4ca34306b/src/word2vec.jl#L17

Unfortunately, when I try load_embeddings(Word2Vec), I get the following error message.

I downloaded the file manually from the new URL and this works. Once, downloaded I opened the file with Archive manager in Ubuntu and this worked too.

hmm that's weird, 7zip is normally very reliable
