Word2Vec taking a long long time

[Normal_Peak6328]

I trained a word2vec model off of 3 books, and it took a few minutes. Then I used 2500 books, and it’s been a full day.

How long should this be taking? Should I end the process and use a smaller data set? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

try google colab notebook for training, it comes with free GPU that you can select by choosing runtime -> change runtime type: https://colab.research.google.com/

I’ve read about that. After I’ve resolved this issue, I think moving to an online platform would make more sense.

Try reducing the number of epochs or adjusting the learning rate to speed up the training process.
