AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.models.embedding.gen_word2vec' has no attribute 'skipgram_word2vec'

Question

Running word2vec_basic.py can reach the expected result, but when it turns to word2vec.py and word2vec_optimized.py, the following error is displayed:

Answer 1

You'll need to use bazel to build the directory, since the op 'skipgram_word2vec' is defined in C++ and not in Python.
