Gensim is an open-source vector space modeling and topic modeling toolkit, implemented in the Python programming language. It uses NumPy, SciPy and optionally Cython for performance. It is specifically intended for handling large text collections, using efficient online, incremental algorithms.

Gensim includes implementations of tf-idf, random projections, word2vec and document2vec algorithms,[1] hierarchical Dirichlet processes (HDP), latent semantic analysis (LSA) and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), including distributed parallel versions.[2]

Gensim has been used in a number of commercial as well as academic applications.[3][4] The code is hosted on GitHub[5] and a support forum is maintained on Google Groups.[6]

Some of the online algorithms in gensim were also published in the PhD dissertation Scalability of Semantic Analysis in Natural Language Processing of Radim Řehůřek (2011).[7][8]
