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

Gensim includes implementations of tf–idf, random projections, deep learning with Google's word2vec algorithm [1] (reimplemented and optimized in Cython), 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]

Gensim accompanied the PhD dissertation Scalability of Semantic Analysis in Natural Language Processing of Radim Řehůřek (2011).[7]
