## Overview
Cleora is an open-source, CPU-only graph embedding engine designed for efficient and scalable computation of entity embeddings from large heterogeneous relational data. It uses deterministic sparse Markov propagation with interleaved whitening, eliminating the need for GPUs, negative sampling, or gradient approximation. The tool computes the exact distribution of all possible walks in a single sparse matrix operation, delivering production-grade embeddings from a single CPU core.

Created by the Synerise team and released under the MIT license, Cleora is built with Rust for performance and provides a Python API for accessibility. It significantly outperforms comparable solutions—reportedly 197x faster than DeepWalk and 4x-8x faster than PyTorch-BigGraph. The tool works without parameters and requires no tuning, making it accessible for practitioners. A potential limitation is that it is specifically optimized for graph-based embedding tasks and may not be suitable for use cases requiring different data representations.
