...Here are examples to evaluate the pre-trained embeddings included in the Gluon NLP toolkit as well as example scripts for training embeddings on custom datasets. Fasttext models trained with the library of Facebook research are exported both in text and a binary format. Unlike the text format, the binary format preserves information about subword units and consequently supports the computation of word vectors for words unknown during training (and not included in the text format). Besides training new fastText embeddings with Gluon NLP it is also possible to load the binary format into a Block provided by the Gluon NLP toolkit.

...It achieves this by providing simple and extensible interfaces and abstractions for model components, and by using PyTorch’s capabilities of exporting models for inference via the optimized Caffe2 execution engine. We use PyText at Facebook to iterate quickly on new modeling ideas and then seamlessly ship them at scale. Distributed-training support built on the new C10d backend in PyTorch 1.0. Mixed precision training support through APEX (trains faster with less GPU memory on NVIDIA Tensor Cores). Extensible components that allows easy creation of new models and tasks.
