microsoftml.featurize_text: Converts text columns into numerical features

Usage

microsoftml.featurize_text(cols: [str, dict, list], language: ['AutoDetect',
    'English', 'French', 'German', 'Dutch', 'Italian', 'Spanish',
    'Japanese'] = 'English', stopwords_remover=None, case: ['Lower',
    'Upper', 'None'] = 'Lower', keep_diacritics: bool = False,
    keep_punctuations: bool = True, keep_numbers: bool = True,
    dictionary: dict = None, word_feature_extractor={'Name': 'NGram',
    'Settings': {'Weighting': 'Tf', 'MaxNumTerms': [10000000],
    'NgramLength': 1, 'AllLengths': True, 'SkipLength': 0}},
    char_feature_extractor=None, vector_normalizer: ['None', 'L1', 'L2',
    'LInf'] = 'L2', **kargs)

Description

Text transforms that can be performed on data before training a model.

Details

The featurize_text transform produces a bag of counts of sequences of consecutive words, called n-grams, from a given corpus of text. There are two ways it can do this:

  • build a dictionary of n-grams and use the ID in the dictionary as the index in the bag;

  • hash each n-gram and use the hash value as the index in the bag.

The purpose of hashing is to convert variable-length text documents into equal-length numeric feature vectors, to support dimensionality reduction and to make the lookup of feature weights faster.

The text transform is applied to text input columns. It offers language detection, tokenization, stopwords removing, text normalization and feature generation. It supports the following languages by default: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

The n-grams are represented as count vectors, with vector slots corresponding either to n-grams (created using n_gram) or to their hashes (created using n_gram_hash). Embedding ngrams in a vector space allows their contents to be compared in an efficient manner. The slot values in the vector can be weighted by the following factors:

  • term frequency - The number of occurrences of the slot in the text

  • inverse document frequency - A ratio (the logarithm of inverse relative slot frequency) that measures the information a slot provides by determining how common or rare it is across the entire text.

  • term frequency-inverse document frequency - the product term frequency and the inverse document frequency.

Arguments

cols

A character string or list of variable names to transform. If dict, the keys represent the names of new variables to be created.

language

Specifies the language used in the data set. The following values are supported:

  • "AutoDetect": for automatic language detection.

  • "English"

  • "French"

  • "German"

  • "Dutch"

  • "Italian"

  • "Spanish"

  • "Japanese"

stopwords_remover

Specifies the stopwords remover to use. There are three options supported:

  • None: No stopwords remover is used.

  • predefined: A precompiled language-specific list of stop words is used that includes the most common words from Microsoft Office.

  • custom: A user-defined list of stopwords. It accepts the following option: stopword.

The default value is None.

case

Text casing using the rules of the invariant culture. Takes the following values:

  • "Lower"

  • "Upper"

  • "None"

The default value is "Lower".

keep_diacritics

False to remove diacritical marks; True to retain diacritical marks. The default value is False.

keep_punctuations

False to remove punctuation; True to retain punctuation. The default value is True.

keep_numbers

False to remove numbers; True to retain numbers. The default value is True.

dictionary

A dictionary of allowlisted terms which accepts the following options:

  • term: An optional character vector of terms or categories.

  • dropUnknowns: Drop items.

  • sort: Specifies how to order items when vectorized. Two orderings are supported:

    • "occurrence": items appear in the order encountered.
    • "value": items are sorted according to their default comparison. For example, text sorting will be case sensitive (e.g., 'A' then 'Z' then 'a').

The default value is None. Note that the stopwords list takes precedence over the dictionary allowlist as the stopwords are removed before the dictionary terms are allowlisted.

word_feature_extractor

Specifies the word feature extraction arguments. There are two different feature extraction mechanisms:

  • n_gram(): Count-based feature extraction (equivalent to WordBag). It accepts the following options: max_num_terms and weighting.

  • n_gram_hash(): Hashing-based feature extraction (equivalent to WordHashBag). It accepts the following options: hash_bits, seed, ordered and invert_hash.

The default value is n_gram.

char_feature_extractor

Specifies the char feature extraction arguments. There are two different feature extraction mechanisms:

  • n_gram(): Count-based feature extraction (equivalent to WordBag). It accepts the following options: max_num_terms and weighting.

  • n_gram_hash(): Hashing-based feature extraction (equivalent to WordHashBag). It accepts the following options: hash_bits, seed, ordered and invert_hash.

The default value is None.

vector_normalizer

Normalize vectors (rows) individually by rescaling them to unit norm. Takes one of the following values:

  • "None"

  • "L2"

  • "L1"

  • "LInf"

The default value is "L2".

kargs

Additional arguments sent to compute engine.

Returns

An object defining the transform.
