Node and Browser env supported WebAssembly version of fastText: Library for efficient text classification and representation learning.
Node and Browser env supported WebAssembly version of fastText: Library for efficient text classification and representation learning.
WebAssembly version of fastText with compressed lid.176.ftz model (~900KB) and a typescript wrapper. This project focuses on cross-platform, zero-dependency and out-of-the-box.
In Node.js, you should use this approach for binding js best performance.
import { getLIDModel } from 'fasttext.wasm.js'
const lidModel = await getLIDModel()
await lidModel.load()
const result = await lidModel.identify('Hello, world!')
console.log(result.alpha2) // 'en'
In others environments, use like below:
import { getLIDModel } from 'fasttext.wasm.js/common'
const lidModel = await getLIDModel()
// Default paths:
// {
// wasmPath: '<globalThis.location.origin>/fastText/fasttext.common.wasm',
// modelPath: '<globalThis.location.origin>/fastText/models/lid.176.ftz',
// }
await lidModel.load()
const result = await lidModel.identify('Hello, world!')
console.log(result.alpha2) // 'en'
Do not forget that download and place /fastText/fasttext.common.wasm and /fastText/models/lid.176.ftz in public root directory. You can override the default paths if necessary.
