- **model_directory**: local directory for downloaded models, default to be "~/.convokit/saved-models".
- **default_backend**: default ConvoKit backend choice, can be "mem" or "db", default to be "mem". For more information, check `Storage Options <https://convokit.cornell.edu/documentation/storage_options.html>`_.
