This book will be of benefit to you if you are a software developer/machine learning engineer trying to understand the state-of-the-art in NLP. A large part of the book deals with real-life problems and considerations for creating an NLP pipeline. If you are an NLP researcher, there is a lot of value here because you will learn about the internal algorithms and considerations taken while developing the fastText software. All the code examples are written in Jupyter Notebooks. I highly recommend you type them out, change them, and tinker with them. Keep the code handy so that you can use it later in your actual projects.

Overview of this book
Facebook's fastText library handles text representation and classification, used for Natural Language Processing (NLP). Most organizations have to deal with enormous amounts of text data on a daily basis, and gaining efficient data insights requires powerful NLP tools such as fastText.
This book is your ideal introduction to fastText. You will learn how to create fastText models from the command line, without the need for complicated code. You will explore the algorithms that fastText is built on and how to use them for word representation and text classification.
Next, you will use fastText in conjunction with other popular libraries and frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
Finally, you will deploy fastText models to mobile devices. By the end of this book, you will have all the required knowledge to use fastText in your own applications at work or in projects.
