Problem while training the model for the cooking.stackexchange example

[jfatine]

I'am trying to do the example "cooking.stackexchange" proposed in the tutorial here: https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/supervised-tutorial.html
Problem: the training of the model takes a long time and returns several lines (I'm not getting the same result as in the first figure below provided in the tutorial).

HI,

can you add -epoch 1 as a parameter to see if the model is learning anything?
(I haven't tried it on windows but on linux the ouput re-writes itself on the same console line.)

If it works for 1 epoch then it will work for your use-case also, only thing is that it will take time. You can optimize it a little using the various hyper-parameters and specifically mentioning the number of threads according to your processor.

Hi @jfatine,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

What version of Windows are you using, and what compiler did you use to compile fastText?

Best,
Edouard.
