meaning of number of # characters in subwords?

[ugurcanozalp]

For continuation words. there are varying number of # signs. For example, in the 5 first words we have followings:

• /c/de/####er
• /c/de/###er
• /c/de/##er

For example, if I have a word ending with "er", which one should I use?

Thanks..

As I understand it, Numberbatch does not have subword units, and you should prefer to use lemma forms when possible, since these are the forms in ConceptNet. If there are some odd entries like ####er, it could be because those have occurred exactly as-is in text.

Hello, have you found out the reason for '#####'? I encountered the same problem while loading the downloaded and decompressed .txt.gz file. I tried to read the file with 'rb' but it didn't really help.
