"Collaboratively Filtering Spam with Word Vectors while Respecting Privacy"

I was hoping to learn about word2vec by reading the sourcecode but am I right when I say this has nothing to do with word2vec?

Looks like it uses GloVe and not word2vec. They're both algorithms for generating word vectors but they are different.

Not by much

We started out with word2vec, but discovered it was easier to work with GloVe for our purpose. There are ways to convert glove vectors to word2vec format such as: https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/scripts/glove2word2vec.html
