A method that learns word vectors from word parts and classifies text fast.
FastText is like a kid reading a giant cereal-box word. It spots small pieces it knows, then makes a smart guess.
It learns light word embeddings from word pieces. It also sorts text fast, like news stories or reviews.
Word2Vec
FastText builds on Word2Vec by adding word-piece information.
Embedding
FastText is often used to train small, reusable word embeddings.
Text Cls
FastText can quickly train classifiers for news, reviews, and other text.
Dist. Semantics
FastText still learns word meaning from nearby words.
