  Jupyter notebook with some numbers on performance and accuracy of fastText: https://github.com/jayantj/gensim/blob/fast_text_notebook/docs/notebooks/Word2Vec_FastText_Comparison.ipynb https://github.com/jayantj/gensim/blob/fast_text_notebook/do... This compares fastText against the word2vec implementation in gensim, on the syntactic/semantic word analogy task.

    Note that this is only looking at the embeddings side of FastText (which looks quite impressive). The classification side is equally interesting, and is better compared to things like VW, eg http://nlpers.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/fast-easy-baseline-text-categorization.html http://nlpers.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/fast-easy-baseline-tex... VW is a pretty strong baseline here, so equaling it is a good accomplishment.
