    # 1.2gb. That gets expensive fast. What might be better is to avoid learning
    # a unique vector for every entity. We could instead have a compositional
    # model, that embeds different features of the entities into vectors. We'll
    # still want some per-entity features, like the Wikipedia text or entity
    # co-occurrence. Hopefully those vectors can be narrow, e.g. 64 dimensions.

    # easily make the KB bigger, but if this isn't needed by the model, and it's
    # optional data, we can let users configure a DB as the backend for this.
