A fast, flexible and transparent framework to estimate context-specific word and short document embeddings using the 'a la carte'
embeddings approach developed by Khodak et al. (2018) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1805.05388> and evaluate hypotheses about covariate effects on embeddings using
the regression framework developed by Rodriguez et al. (2021)<doi:10.1017/S0003055422001228>. New version of the package applies a new estimator to measure the distance between word embeddings as described in Green et al. (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2024.22>.
