## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/embedding-trainer.git
cd embedding-trainer

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Or install locally
cargo install --path .
```

### Basic Usage

#### 1. Train Your First Embeddings

```bash
# Prepare your training data
echo "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" > data.txt

# Train embeddings using Skip-gram
embedding-train train \
    --input data.txt \
    --output model.json \
    --embeddings embeddings.txt \
    --dim 100 \

```bash
# Calculate similarity between words
embedding-train similarity "fox" "dog" \
    --model model.json --vocab model.json

# Expected output:
# Similarity between 'fox' and 'dog': 0.8234
```
