Abstract: We computed both Word and Sub-word Embeddings using FastText. For Sub-word embeddings we selected Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm to represent the sub-words. We evaluated the Biomedical Word Embeddings obtaining better results than previous versions showing the implication that with more data, we obtain better representations.
