sentences (iterable of iterables, optional) – The sentences iterable can be simply a list of lists of tokens, but for larger corpora, consider an iterable that streams the sentences directly from disk/network. See BrownCorpus, Text8Corpus or LineSentence in word2vec module for such examples. See also the tutorial on data streaming in Python. If you don’t supply sentences, the model is left uninitialized – use if you plan to initialize it in some other way.
