Fasttext is not that different from word2vec

Fasttext's ability to handle OOVs, however naïve, cannot be understated. I'm not sure about the literature on this, but I think generalizing based on character-gram wordvectors is probably better than assigning a dropout based common OOV vector.

Evolution for sure, heck, they even has the same author. But fasttext is the same idea as word2vec, the objective is identical.
