-------- is a text representation method based on the bag of words (BoW) model.

FastTextis an extension of Word2Vec developed by Facebook AI Research. Unlike Word2Vec, which learns embeddings for whole words, FastText represents each word as a sum of its character n-gram embeddings. This helps in handling rare words and morphologically rich languages by generating embeddings for unseen words from their subword components.

Exact Extract from HCIP-AI EI Developer V2.5:

"FastText decomposes words into character n-grams and represents words as the sum of their n-gram vectors, improving representation for rare and out-of-vocabulary words."
