Overview

About

Maintained by Sofia AvilaFirst published 2021-10-256 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A fast, flexible and transparent framework to estimate context-specific word and short document embeddings using the 'a la carte' embeddings approach developed by Khodak et al. (2018) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1805.05388 and evaluate hypotheses about covariate effects on embeddings using the regression framework developed by Rodriguez et al. (2021)doi:10.1017/S0003055422001228. New version of the package applies a new estimator to measure the distance between word embeddings as described in Green et al. (2025) doi:10.1017/pan.2024.22.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("conText", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("prodriguezsosa/conText")

Development version from prodriguezsosa/conText. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-context

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-conText

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-conText

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
