Ok, So I am passing a data directory path containing some txt files. I am getting this error. How should i proceed?

@RC-Jay, try change weights = model.syn0 to weights = model.wv.syn0

If that doesn't work there may be older versions of gensim code which may need to be updated. Most of the updated code examples can be found here:

@RC-Jay, it is a probelm with your gensim package version
try:
weights = model.wv.syn0

Should I have trained my Word2Vec model such that the tokens'<UNK>' ,'<GO>', '<EOC>' were also learned ...
