How to find similar words with FastText?

Question

I am playing around with FastText, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fasttext,which is quite similar to Word2Vec. Since it seems to be a pretty new library

Answer 1

You can install pyfasttext library to extract the most similar or nearest words to a particualr word.

from pyfasttext import FastText
model = FastText('model.bin')
model.nearest_neighbors('dog', k=2000)

Or you can get the latest development version of fasttext, you can install from the github repository :

import fasttext
model = fasttext.load_model('model.bin')
model.get_nearest_neighbors('dog', k=100)
