:warning: Changes in FastText behavior

Out-of-vocab word handling

To achieve consistency with the reference implementation from Facebook,
a `FastText` model will now always report any word, out-of-vocabulary or
not, as being in the model, and always return some vector for any word
looked-up. Specifically:

1. `'any_word' in ft_model` will always return `True`. Previously, it
returned `True` only if the full word was in the vocabulary. (To test if a
full word is in the known vocabulary, you can consult the `wv.vocab`
property: `'any_word' in ft_model.wv.vocab` will return `False` if the full
word wasn't learned during model training.)
2. `ft_model['any_word']` will always return a vector. Previously, it
raised `KeyError` for OOV words when the model had no vectors
for **any** ngrams of the word.
3. If no ngrams from the term are present in the model,
or when no ngrams could be extracted from the term, a vector pointing
to the origin will be returned. Previously, a vector of NaN (not a number)
was returned as a consequence of a divide-by-zero problem.
4. Models may use more more memory, or take longer for word-vector
lookup, especially after training on smaller corpuses where the previous
non-compliant behavior discarded some ngrams from consideration.

Loading models in Facebook .bin format

The `gensim.models.FastText.load_fasttext_format` function (deprecated) now loads the entire model contained in the .bin file, including the shallow neural network that enables training continuation.
Loading this NN requires more CPU and RAM than previously required.

Since this function is deprecated, consider using one of its alternatives (see below).

Furthermore, you must now pass the full path to the file to load, **including the file extension.**
Previously, if you specified a model path that ends with anything other than .bin, the code automatically appended .bin to the path before loading the model.
This behavior was [confusing](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/issues/2407), so we removed it.

:warning: Deprecations (will be removed in the next major release)

Remove:

- `gensim.models.FastText.load_fasttext_format`: use load_facebook_vectors to load embeddings only (faster, less CPU/memory usage, does not support training continuation) and load_facebook_model to load full model (slower, more CPU/memory intensive, supports training continuation)

:star2: New features
* File-based training for `*2Vec` models ([persiyanov](https://github.com/persiyanov), [#2127](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/pull/2127) & [#2078](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/pull/2078) & [#2048](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/pull/2048))

New training mode for `*2Vec` models (word2vec, doc2vec, fasttext) that allows model training to scale linearly with the number of cores (full GIL elimination). The result of our Google Summer of Code 2018 project by Dmitry Persiyanov.

**Benchmark**
- Dataset: `full English Wikipedia`
- Cloud: `GCE`
- CPU: `Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 2.30GHz 32 cores`
- BLAS: `MKL`


| Model | Queue-based version [sec] | File-based version [sec] | speed up | Accuracy (queue-based) | Accuracy (file-based) |
|-------|------------|--------------------|----------|----------------|-----------------------|
| Word2Vec | 9230 | **2437** | **3.79x** | 0.754 (± 0.003) | 0.750 (± 0.001) |
| Doc2Vec | 18264 | **2889** | **6.32x** | 0.721 (± 0.002) | 0.683 (± 0.003) |
| FastText | 16361 | **10625** | **1.54x** | 0.642 (± 0.002) | 0.660 (± 0.001) |

Usage:

python
import gensim.downloader as api
from multiprocessing import cpu_count
from gensim.utils import save_as_line_sentence
from gensim.test.utils import get_tmpfile
from gensim.models import Word2Vec, Doc2Vec, FastText


Convert any corpus to the needed format: 1 document per line, words delimited by " "
corpus = api.load("text8")
corpus_fname = get_tmpfile("text8-file-sentence.txt")
save_as_line_sentence(corpus, corpus_fname)

Choose num of cores that you want to use (let's use all, models scale linearly now!)
num_cores = cpu_count()

Train models using all cores
w2v_model = Word2Vec(corpus_file=corpus_fname, workers=num_cores)
d2v_model = Doc2Vec(corpus_file=corpus_fname, workers=num_cores)
ft_model = FastText(corpus_file=corpus_fname, workers=num_cores)

This release comprises a glorious 38 pull requests from 28 contributors. Most of the effort went into improving the documentation—hence the release code name "Docs 💬"!

Apart from the **massive overhaul of all Gensim documentation** (including docstring style and examples—[you asked for it](https://rare-technologies.com/gensim-survey-2018/)), we also managed to sneak in some new functionality and a number of bug fixes. As usual, see the notes below for a complete list, with links to pull requests for more details.

**Huge thanks to all contributors!** Nobody loves working on documentation. 3.5.0 is a result of several months of laborious, unglamorous, and sometimes invisible work. Enjoy!
