NLP support with fastText

Overview

This module contains the NLP support with fastText implementation.

fastText module's implementation in DJL is not considered as an Engine, it doesn't support Trainer and Predictor. Training is only supported by using TrainFastText. This produces a special block which can perform inference on its own or by using a model and predictor. Pre-trained FastText models can also be loaded by using the standard DJL criteria. You can find examples here.

Current implementation has the following limitations:

• Training dataset must comply with fastText format
• Saved model is fastText specific, can only be loaded with this module
