I fixed a bug in the ‘language_identification()’ function
where input text that could be interpreted as a directory path
(e.g. "../.." or "data" when a
data/ folder exists) caused an error. The fix replaces
file.exists() with
utils::file_test(op = "-f", ...) to correctly distinguish
regular files from directories (see Github issues:
https://github.com/mlampros/fastText/issues/6 and
https://github.com/mlampros/fastText/issues/3)
fastText 1.0.7
I fixed the CRAN
warning: explicit by-copy capture of this with by-copy capture default only available with -std=c++20 or -std=gnu++20 [-Wc++20-extensions]
in the /src/fasttext.cc file
fastText 1.0.6
I fixed the CRAN warning: implicit capture of ‘this’ via ‘[=]’
is deprecated in C++20 [-Wdeprecated]
fastText 1.0.5
I fixed a DESCRIPTION field omission related to a paper ‘doi’
weblink and removed the SystemRequirements section
I removed the “CXX_STD = CXX11” from the “Makevars” files, and the
“[[Rcpp::plugins(cpp11)]]” from the .cpp files due to the following
Warning from CRAN, “SystemRequirements specified C++11: support has been
removed” (see also:
https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/03/cran-checks-compiled-code/#note-regarding-systemrequirements-c11)
fastText 1.0.4
I added a figure to the README.md file showing the differences
between static and contextualised word embeddings
fastText 1.0.3
I added a test case for the ‘language_identification()’
function (see Github issue:
https://github.com/mlampros/fastText/issues/3)
I added the ‘verbose’ parameter to the C++ functions of the
‘src/main.cc’ file that did not take any variables as input to
avoid the CRAN WARNING ‘function declaration isn’t a prototype
[-Wstrict-prototypes]’
fastText 1.0.2
I added the URL and BugReports fields in the
DESCRIPTION file
I updated the documentation of the print_parameters()
function
I updated the details section of the fasttext_interface()
function regarding the output parameter which exists in the
named list that is passed to the list_params parameter of the
fasttext_interface() function. Although this output
parameter is a file path (and not a directory name) it will be saved in
both .vec and .bin file name extensions.
fastText 1.0.1
I fixed the LTO (Link Optimization Error) -
Additional Issues - by replacing the qnorm variable
with qnorm_param in the Rcpp files
I modified the quantize function in the Rcpp file
to return the .ftz file by specifying the exact file
path
I adjusted the Examples section of the
fasttext_interface function and the testthat
tests to account for the changes in the
quantize function
I fixed a bug of the fasttext_interface function
related to parameters that do not take a value
fastText 1.0.0
I’ve added the CITATION file in the ‘inst’ directory
I’ve added the language_identification()
function
20-04-2021 : I’ve added the pre-trained language
identification model lid.176.ftz which can be
downloaded from https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/language-identification.html
In the same website exists also the lid.176.bin model
which is bigger in size, faster and slightly more accurate.
14-07-2019 : I fixed typos in vignette and modified
the plot_progress_logs() function because it threw an error of
the form : line 1 did not have 11 elements ( I added the
fill = TRUE parameter to the utils::read.table()
function to account for NA’s as described in a stackoverflow
issue )
