TF-IDF Vectorizer scikit-learn
Deep understanding tf-idf calculation by various examples, Why is so efficiency than other vectorizer algorithm.
TF-IDF is an abbreviation for Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency. This is very common algorithm to transform text into a meaningful representation of numbers which is used to fit machine algorithm for prediction. Let’s take sample example and explore two different spicy sparse matrix before go into deep explanation . It gives overall view what i am trying to explain below .Simple basic example data :
Train Document Set:
d1: The sky is blue.
d2: The sun is bright.
Test Document Set:
d3: The sun in the sky is bright.
d4: We can see the shining sun, the bright sun.Python Code:
# TfidfVectorizer
# CountVectorizerfrom sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer,CountVectorizer
import pandas as pd# set of documentstrain = ['The sky is blue.','The sun is bright.']
test = ['The sun in the sky is bright', 'We can see the shining sun, the bright sun.']# instantiate the vectorizer objectcountvectorizer = CountVectorizer(analyzer= 'word', stop_words='english')
tfidfvectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(analyzer='word',stop_words= 'english')# convert th documents into a matrixcount_wm = countvectorizer.fit_transform(train)
tfidf_wm = tfidfvectorizer.fit_transform(train)#retrieve the terms found in the corpora
# if we take same parameters on both Classes(CountVectorizer and TfidfVectorizer) , it will give same output of get_feature_names() methods)#count_tokens = tfidfvectorizer.get_feature_names() # no difference
count_tokens = countvectorizer.get_feature_names()
tfidf_tokens = tfidfvectorizer.get_feature_names()df_countvect = pd.DataFrame(data = count_wm.toarray(),index = ['Doc1','Doc2'],columns = count_tokens)
df_tfidfvect = pd.DataFrame(data = tfidf_wm.toarray(),index = ['Doc1','Doc2'],columns = tfidf_tokens)print("Count Vectorizer\n")
print(df_countvect)
print("\nTD-IDF Vectorizer\n")
print(df_tfidfvect)
Output:
Here , we can see clearly that Count Vectorizer give number of frequency with respect to index of vocabulary where as tf-idf consider overall documents of weight of words.This is my main purpose to explain in this blog post.
Let’s try to understand step by step. I got one picture from internet showing summary of mathematical meaning of TF-IDF. I think it is useful to understand little bit behind mathematic concept.
Let’s talk more mathematical concept inside how is it working than other vectorizer algorithm. Because i think it is very important for tuning performance on NLP projects . I believe that we can handle parameters of TF-IDF Vectorizer with better way if we understand core concept of TF-IDF functionality. let’s take again above same example data :
Train Document Set:
d1: The sky is blue.
d2: The sun is bright.
Test Document Set:
d3: The sun in the sky is bright.
d4: We can see the shining sun, the bright sun.Now , We are creating index vocabulary(dictionary) of the words of the train documents set, using the documents d1 and d2 from document set.
Here index vocabulary is denoted by E(t) where the t is the term. Note that the terms like “is” , “the” are ignored because there are stop words which is repeating frequently and give less information.
Now , We can convert the test document set into a vector space where each term of vector is indexed as our index vocabulary. Example first term of the vector represents “blue” term of our vocabulary. the second term represents “sun” and so on. Now we are going to use term — frequency which means more than a measure of how many times the terms present in our vocabulary ( E(t)). We can define the term-frequency as counting function:
Here the tf(t,d) returns is how many times is the term t present in document d. Example tf(“sun”,d4) could be 2.
When we represent d3 and d4 of test document set as vectors:
Here , example “sun” item occurs 2 time on vectors Vd4 and so on . We can represent them as matrix with |D| * F shape where |D| is the cardinality of the document space.
Let’s see by python code :
#import count vectorize and tfidf vectorisefrom sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer, TfidfVectorizertrain = ('The sky is blue.','The sun is bright.')test = ('The sun in the sky is bright', 'We can see the shining sun, the bright sun.')# instantiate the vectorizer object
# use analyzer is word and stop_words is english which are responsible for remove stop words and create word vocabularycountvectorizer = CountVectorizer(analyzer='word' , stop_words='english')terms = countvectorizer.fit_transform(train)
term_vectors = countvectorizer.transform(test)print("Sparse Matrix form of test data : \n")
print(term_vectors.todense())
Output:
The term frequency — inverse document frequency(tf-idf) weight
We saw above how to calculate term frequency . Now let’s come to idf(inverse document frequency) topic that how it is calculate and multiplication with tf (term frequency) . The idf is defined :
The formula for the tf-idf is then :
This formula has an importance consequence that a high weight of the tf-idf calculation is reached when we have a high term frequency(tf) in the given document(local parameter) and a low document frequency of the term in the whole collection ( global parameter).
We have calculated matrix of test data above and have 4 features like “ blue,bright,sky,sum” , we have to calculated idf(t) :
idf vector= (2.09861229 1. 1.40546511 1.)matrix form of idf =
[[2.09,0,0,0],
[0,1,0,0],
[0,0,1.40,0],
[0,0,0,1]]
After that we calculated tf-idf (t) by multiplication of tf(t,d) * idf(t) like:
matrix [[0 ,1,1,1],[0, 1,0,2]] * matrix form idf
After normalization of result of tf-idf is actually tf-idf sparse matrix form:
Let’s see by python code:
# Tranfer sparse matrix of Countvectorizer to tf-idf by
# using TfidfTransformerfrom sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfTransformertfidf = TfidfTransformer(norm='l2')term_vectors.todense()#[0, 1, 1, 1]
# [0, 1, 0, 2]tfidf.fit(term_vectors)tf_idf_matrix = tfidf.transform(term_vectors)print("\nVector of idf \n")
print(tfidf.idf_)
print("\nFinal tf-idf vectorizer matrix form :\n")
print(tf_idf_matrix.todense())
Output:
Here we can understand how to calculate TfidfVectorizer by using CountVectorizer and TfidfTransformer in sklearn module in python and we also understood by mathematical concept.
Now we can get both functionality like CountVectorizer , TfidfTransformer in TfidfVectorizer . We can customize all parameters which have the above both classes. Let’s see by python code :
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizertrain = ('The sky is blue.','The sun is bright.')test = ('The sun in the sky is bright', 'We can see the shining sun, the bright sun.')# instantiate the vectorizer object
# use analyzer is word and stop_words is english which are responsible for remove stop words and create word vocabularytfidfvectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(analyzer='word' , stop_words='english',)tfidfvectorizer.fit(train)
tfidf_train = tfidfvectorizer.transform(train)
tfidf_term_vectors = tfidfvectorizer.transform(test)print("Sparse Matrix form of test data : \n")
tfidf_term_vectors.todense()
Output:
Here , we can see that both outputs are almost same. As beginner, i think we should be careful at least three parameters like analyzer, stop_words , ngram_range because this is responsible of size of matrix . In real world data , we know that data is very huge . So we have to manipulate parameters carefully.
Conclusion:
I tried to explain how to work tf-idf calculation by using CountVectorizer and Tfidftranformer. I tried to explain mathematical concept behind the all process. In TfidfVectorizer we consider overall document weightage of a word. It helps us in dealing with most frequent words. Using it we can penalize them. TfidfVectorizer weights the word counts by a measure of how often they appear in the documents.
