Improving on the basic, existing GloVe model

After a little digging, I found this issue on the git repo. Someone suggested the following:

Yeah, this is not going to work well due to the optimization setup. But what you can do is train GloVe vectors on your own corpus and then concatenate those with the pretrained GloVe vectors for use in your end application.

So that answers that.

I believe GloVe (Global Vectors) is not meant to be appended, since it is based on the corpus' overall word co-occurrence statistics from a single corpus known only at initial training time

You can do is use gensim.scripts.glove2word2vec api to convert GloVe vectors into word2vec, but i dont think you can continue training since its loading in a KeyedVector not a Full Model
