nlp_primitives.LSA

class nlp_primitives.LSA

Calculates the Latent Semantic Analysis Values of NaturalLanguage Input

Description:

Given a list of strings, transforms those strings using tf-idf and single value decomposition to go from a sparse matrix to a compact matrix with two values for each string. These values represent that Latent Semantic Analysis of each string. These values will represent their context with respect to (nltk’s gutenberg corpus.)[https://www.nltk.org/book/ch02.html#gutenberg-corpus]

If a string is missing, return NaN.

Examples

>>> lsa = LSA()
>>> x = ["he helped her walk,", "me me me eat food", "the sentence doth long"]
>>> res = lsa(x).tolist()
>>> for i in range(len(res)): res[i] = [abs(round(x, 2)) for x in res[i]]
>>> res
[[0.01, 0.01, 0.01], [0.0, 0.0, 0.01]]

Now, if we change the values of the input corpus, to something that better resembles the given text, the same given input text will result in a different, more discerning, output. Also, NaN values are handled, as well as strings without words.

>>> lsa = LSA()
>>> x = ["the earth is round", "", np.NaN, ".,/"]
>>> res = lsa(x).tolist()
>>> for i in range(len(res)): res[i] = [abs(round(x, 2)) for x in res[i]]
>>> res
[[0.02, 0.0, nan, 0.0], [0.02, 0.0, nan, 0.0]]
