FastText

fastText is a library for learning of word embeddings and text classification created by Facebook's AI Research (FAIR) lab.^[3][4][5][6] The model allows one to create an unsupervised learning or supervised learning algorithm for obtaining vector representations for words. Facebook makes available pretrained models for 294 languages.^[7][8] Several papers describe the techniques used by fastText.^{[9][10][11][12]} The GitHub repository has been archived on March 19, 2024.
