Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
`fastText <https://fasttext.cc/>`__ builds on modern Mac OS and Linux
|
|
distributions. Since it uses C++11 features, it requires a compiler with
|
|
good C++11 support. You will need `Python <https://www.python.org/>`__
|
|
(version 2.7 or ≥ 3.4), `NumPy <http://www.numpy.org/>`__ &
|
|
`SciPy <https://www.scipy.org/>`__ and
|
|
`pybind11 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11>`__.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
To install the latest release, you can do :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pip install fasttext
|
|
|
|
or, to get the latest development version of fasttext, you can install
|
|
from our github repository :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText.git

|
|
$ sudo python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
Usage overview
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Word representation model
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to learn word vectors, as `described
|
|
here <https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/references.html#enriching-word-vectors-with-subword-information>`__,
|
|
we can use ``fasttext.train_unsupervised`` function like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
import fasttext
|
|
|
|
# Skipgram model :
|
|
model = fasttext.train_unsupervised('data.txt', model='skipgram')
|
|
|
|
# or, cbow model :
|
|
model = fasttext.train_unsupervised('data.txt', model='cbow')
|
|
|
|
where ``data.txt`` is a training file containing utf-8 encoded text.
|
|
|
|
The returned ``model`` object represents your learned model, and you can
|
|
use it to retrieve information.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
print(model.words) # list of words in dictionary
|
|
print(model['king']) # get the vector of the word 'king'
|
|
|
|
Saving and loading a model object
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can save your trained model object by calling the function
|
|
``save_model``.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model.save_model("model_filename.bin")
|
|
|
|
and retrieve it later thanks to the function ``load_model`` :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model = fasttext.load_model("model_filename.bin")
|
|
|
|
For more information about word representation usage of fasttext, you
|
|
can refer to our `word representations
|
|
tutorial <https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/unsupervised-tutorial.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
Text classification model
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to train a text classifier using the method `described
|
|
here <https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/references.html#bag-of-tricks-for-efficient-text-classification>`__,
|
|
we can use ``fasttext.train_supervised`` function like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
import fasttext
|
|
|
|
model = fasttext.train_supervised('data.train.txt')
|
|
|
|
where ``data.train.txt`` is a text file containing a training sentence
|
|
per line along with the labels. By default, we assume that labels are
|
|
words that are prefixed by the string ``__label__``
|
|
|
|
Once the model is trained, we can retrieve the list of words and labels:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
print(model.words)
|
|
print(model.labels)
|
|
|
|
To evaluate our model by computing the precision at 1 (P@1) and the
|
|
recall on a test set, we use the ``test`` function:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
def print_results(N, p, r):
|
|
print("N\t" + str(N))
|
|
print("P@{}\t{:.3f}".format(1, p))
|
|
print("R@{}\t{:.3f}".format(1, r))
|
|
|
|
print_results(*model.test('test.txt'))
|
|
|
|
We can also predict labels for a specific text :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model.predict("Which baking dish is best to bake a banana bread ?")
|
|
|
|
By default, ``predict`` returns only one label : the one with the
|
|
highest probability. You can also predict more than one label by
|
|
specifying the parameter ``k``:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model.predict("Which baking dish is best to bake a banana bread ?", k=3)
|
|
|
|
If you want to predict more than one sentence you can pass an array of
|
|
strings :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model.predict(["Which baking dish is best to bake a banana bread ?", "Why not put knives in the dishwasher?"], k=3)
|
|
|
|
Of course, you can also save and load a model to/from a file as `in the
|
|
word representation usage <#saving-and-loading-a-model-object>`__.
|
|
|
|
For more information about text classification usage of fasttext, you
|
|
can refer to our `text classification
|
|
tutorial <https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/supervised-tutorial.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
Compress model files with quantization
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When you want to save a supervised model file, fastText can compress it
|
|
in order to have a much smaller model file by sacrificing only a little
|
|
bit performance.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
# with the previously trained `model` object, call :
|
|
model.quantize(input='data.train.txt', retrain=True)
|
|
|
|
# then display results and save the new model :
|
|
print_results(*model.test(valid_data))
|
|
model.save_model("model_filename.ftz")
|
|
|
|
``model_filename.ftz`` will have a much smaller size than
|
|
``model_filename.bin``.
|
|
|
|
For further reading on quantization, you can refer to `this paragraph
|
|
from our blog
|
|
post <https://fasttext.cc/blog/2017/10/02/blog-post.html#model-compression>`__.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Preprocessing data / encoding conventions
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In general it is important to properly preprocess your data. In
|
|
particular our example scripts in the `root
|
|
folder <https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText>`__ do this.
|
|
|
|
fastText assumes UTF-8 encoded text. All text must be `unicode for
|
|
Python2 <https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#unicode>`__
|
|
and `str for
|
|
Python3 <https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html#textseq>`__.
|
|
The passed text will be `encoded as UTF-8 by
|
|
pybind11 <https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/master/advanced/cast/strings.html?highlight=utf-8#strings-bytes-and-unicode-conversions>`__
|
|
before passed to the fastText C++ library. This means it is important to
|
|
use UTF-8 encoded text when building a model. On Unix-like systems you
|
|
can convert text using `iconv <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconv>`__.
|
|
|
|
fastText will tokenize (split text into pieces) based on the following
|
|
ASCII characters (bytes). In particular, it is not aware of UTF-8
|
|
whitespace. We advice the user to convert UTF-8 whitespace / word
|
|
boundaries into one of the following symbols as appropiate.
|
|
|
|
- space
|
|
- tab
|
|
- vertical tab
|
|
- carriage return
|
|
- formfeed
|
|
- the null character
|
|
|
|
The newline character is used to delimit lines of text. In particular,
|
|
the EOS token is appended to a line of text if a newline character is
|
|
encountered. The only exception is if the number of tokens exceeds the
|
|
MAX\_LINE\_SIZE constant as defined in the `Dictionary
|
|
header <https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/blob/master/src/dictionary.h>`__.
|
|
This means if you have text that is not separate by newlines, such as
|
|
the `fil9 dataset <http://mattmahoney.net/dc/textdata>`__, it will be
|
|
broken into chunks with MAX\_LINE\_SIZE of tokens and the EOS token is
|
|
not appended.
|
|
|
|
The length of a token is the number of UTF-8 characters by considering
|
|
the `leading two bits of a
|
|
byte <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Description>`__ to identify
|
|
`subsequent bytes of a multi-byte
|
|
sequence <https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/blob/master/src/dictionary.cc>`__.
|
|
Knowing this is especially important when choosing the minimum and
|
|
maximum length of subwords. Further, the EOS token (as specified in the
|
|
`Dictionary
|
|
header <https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/blob/master/src/dictionary.h>`__)
|
|
is considered a character and will not be broken into subwords.
|
|

``model`` object
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
``train_supervised``, ``train_unsupervised`` and ``load_model``
|
|
functions return an instance of ``_FastText`` class, that we generaly
|
|
name ``model`` object.
|
|
|
|
This object exposes those training arguments as properties : ``lr``,
|
|
``dim``, ``ws``, ``epoch``, ``minCount``, ``minCountLabel``, ``minn``,
|
|
``maxn``, ``neg``, ``wordNgrams``, ``loss``, ``bucket``, ``thread``,
|
|
``lrUpdateRate``, ``t``, ``label``, ``verbose``, ``pretrainedVectors``.
|
|
So ``model.wordNgrams`` will give you the max length of word ngram used
|
|
for training this model.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the object exposes several functions :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
get_dimension # Get the dimension (size) of a lookup vector (hidden layer).
|
|
# This is equivalent to `dim` property.
|
|
get_input_vector # Given an index, get the corresponding vector of the Input Matrix.
|
|
get_input_matrix # Get a copy of the full input matrix of a Model.
|
|
get_labels # Get the entire list of labels of the dictionary
|
|
# This is equivalent to `labels` property.
|
|
get_line # Split a line of text into words and labels.
|
|
get_output_matrix # Get a copy of the full output matrix of a Model.
|
|
get_sentence_vector # Given a string, get a single vector represenation. This function
|
|
# assumes to be given a single line of text. We split words on
|
|
# whitespace (space, newline, tab, vertical tab) and the control
|
|
# characters carriage return, formfeed and the null character.
|
|
get_subword_id # Given a subword, return the index (within input matrix) it hashes to.
|
|
get_subwords # Given a word, get the subwords and their indicies.
|
|
get_word_id # Given a word, get the word id within the dictionary.
|
|
get_word_vector # Get the vector representation of word.
|
|
get_words # Get the entire list of words of the dictionary
|
|
# This is equivalent to `words` property.
|
|
is_quantized # whether the model has been quantized
|
|
predict # Given a string, get a list of labels and a list of corresponding probabilities.
|
|
quantize # Quantize the model reducing the size of the model and it's memory footprint.
|
|
save_model # Save the model to the given path
|
|
test # Evaluate supervised model using file given by path
|
|
test_label # Return the precision and recall score for each label.
|
|
|
|
The properties ``words``, ``labels`` return the words and labels from
|
|
the dictionary :
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model.words # equivalent to model.get_words()
|
|
model.labels # equivalent to model.get_labels()
|
|
|
|
The object overrides ``__getitem__`` and ``__contains__`` functions in
|
|
order to return the representation of a word and to check if a word is
|
|
in the vocabulary.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: py
|
|
|
|
model['king'] # equivalent to model.get_word_vector('king')
|
|
'king' in model # equivalent to `'king' in model.get_words()`
|
