fastText is an open-source library developed by Facebook AI Research (FAIR) for learning word representations and performing text classification. It was publicly released in 2016.
For word representation, fastText incorporates subword information using character n-grams, which enables it to construct representations for words not encountered during training. The library also provides supervised methods designed for efficient text classification.
