このタスクは「文字レベル」、「単語レベル」、そして最近「文レベル」にもできるようになってます。
文字レベルと単語レベルの方はGloVeとWord2Vecなどの方法があります、今日はWord2Vecでシンプルな辞書をPythonで作って見ましょう。
注意: 自然言語処理では辞書の最適化によってタスクにかなりの改善も見られますが、今回は一旦デモができるレベルの辞書にはなれます。

Understanding how Facebook works is tough.
Their algorithms are updated constantly and it’s hard to keep track of every change.
However, I think it’s quite possible to formulate a couple of rules or laws by analyzing their changes through the years.

The joke of it is, big companies protect themselves so well against the risk of buying something expensive that they actually drive up the cost of the expensive stuff, from $1000 to $75000, which mostly goes towards the cost of jumping all the hurdles that they set up to insure that no purchase can possibly go wrong. | ['Startup', 'Software', 'Pricing', 'Pricing Strategy', 'Tldr'] |

When middle-class dreams shatter,
rarely do the jagged shards fall upward,
which would require muscle, pulleys, power,
a secret conveyor belt pointed toward hidden privilege.
Rather, the broken pieces almost always rain downward,
upon the heads of the poor, the silenced, the vulnerable.
