imdb_fasttext

This example demonstrates the use of fasttext for text classification

Based on Joulin et al’s paper: “Bags of Tricks for Efficient Text Classification” https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01759

Results on IMDB datasets with uni and bi-gram embeddings: Uni-gram: 0.8813 test accuracy after 5 epochs. 8s/epoch on i7 CPU Bi-gram : 0.9056 test accuracy after 5 epochs. 2s/epoch on GTx 980M GPU
