Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand OOV problem
Out-of-vocabulary words lack pretrained embeddings in traditional models.Step 2: FastText's advantage
FastText uses character n-grams, enabling it to compute embeddings for unseen words dynamically.Step 3: Compare options
Replacing withloses information; ignoring words loses context; separate embedding layer doesn't solve OOV. Final Answer:
Use FastText's subword vectors to generate embeddings for OOV words on the fly -> Option AQuick Check:
Subword embeddings handle OOV effectively [OK]
Quick Trick: FastText subwords enable OOV embedding generation [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using fixed
token embedding for OOV - Ignoring OOV words in input
- Training embeddings only on known vocabulary
