Text vectorization tool to outperform TFIDF for classification tasks

Overview

textvec logo

WHAT: Supervised text vectorization tool

Textvec is a text vectorization tool, with the aim to implement all the "classic" text vectorization NLP methods in Python. The main idea of this project is to show alternatives for an excellent TFIDF method which is highly overused for supervised tasks. All interfaces are similar to scikit-learn so you should be able to test the performance of this supervised methods just with a few changes.

Textvec is compatible with: Python 2.7-3.7.


WHY: Comparison with TFIDF

As you can read in the different articles1,2 almost on every dataset supervised methods outperform unsupervised. But most text classification examples on the internet ignores that fact.

Here is a comparison for binary classification on imdb sentiment data set. Labels sorted by accuracy score and the heatmap shows the correlation between different approaches. As you can see some methods are good for to ensemble models or perform features selection.

Install:

Usage:

pip install textvec

Source code:

git clone https://github.com/textvec/textvec
cd textvec
pip install .

HOW: Examples

The usage is similar to scikit-learn:

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
from textvec.vectorizers import TfBinIcfVectorizer

cvec = CountVectorizer().fit(train_data.text)

tficf_vec = TfBinIcfVectorizer(sublinear_tf=True)
tficf_vec.fit(cvec.transform(text), y)

For more detailed examples see Basic example and other notebooks in Examples

Currently implemented methods:

  • TfIcfVectorizer
  • TforVectorizer
  • TfgrVectorizer
  • TfigVectorizer
  • Tfchi2Vectorizer
  • TfrfVectorizer
  • TfrrfVectorizer
  • TfBinIcfVectorizer
  • TfpfVectorizer
  • SifVectorizer
  • TfbnsVectorizer

Most of the vectorization techniques you can find in articles1,2,3. If you see any method with wrong name or reference please commit!

    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'transform'

    For some reason, I can't use your vectorizers in pipeline. Here is my code:

    pipeline = Pipeline([ 
        ('vect', CountVectorizer(stop_words='en', ngram_range=(1,2), analyzer='word')),
        ('transform', TfIcfVectorizer(sublinear_tf=True)),
        ('clf', LinearSVC(class_weight='balanced')),
    ])
    pipeline.fit(X, y)
    

    And I got the following error:

    Vectorizers now working with GridSearchCV and Pipelines with parameters

    Fixes #20 Fixes #21

    By adding sklearn.base.BaseEstimator to all vectorizers they are now capable of handling parameters from GridSearchCV.

    Also, when testing I verified that they already got a "toString" for them, so two problems solved.

    v1.22.0

    NumPy 1.22.0 Release Notes

    NumPy 1.22.0 is a big release featuring the work of 153 contributors spread over 609 pull requests. There have been many improvements, highlights are:

    • Annotations of the main namespace are essentially complete. Upstream is a moving target, so there will likely be further improvements, but the major work is done. This is probably the most user visible enhancement in this release.
    • A preliminary version of the proposed Array-API is provided. This is a step in creating a standard collection of functions that can be used across application such as CuPy and JAX.
    • NumPy now has a DLPack backend. DLPack provides a common interchange format for array (tensor) data.
    • New methods for quantile, percentile, and related functions. The new methods provide a complete set of the methods commonly found in the literature.
    • A new configurable allocator for use by downstream projects.

    These are in addition to the ongoing work to provide SIMD support for commonly used functions, improvements to F2PY, and better documentation.

    The Python versions supported in this release are 3.8-3.10, Python 3.7 has been dropped. Note that 32 bit wheels are only provided for Python 3.8 and 3.9 on Windows, all other wheels are 64 bits on account of Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions dropping 32 bit support. All 64 bit wheels are also linked with 64 bit integer OpenBLAS, which should fix the occasional problems encountered by folks using truly huge arrays.

    Expired deprecations

    Deprecated numeric style dtype strings have been removed

    Using the strings "Bytes0", "Datetime64", "Str0", "Uint32", and "Uint64" as a dtype will now raise a TypeError.

    (gh-19539)

    Expired deprecations for loads, ndfromtxt, and mafromtxt in npyio

    numpy.loads was deprecated in v1.15, with the recommendation that users use pickle.loads instead. ndfromtxt and mafromtxt were both deprecated in v1.17 - users should use numpy.genfromtxt instead with the appropriate value for the usemask parameter.

    The code below throws this error:

    AttributeError: 'TfBinIcfVectorizer' object has no attribute 'set_params'

    from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
    from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV

    grid_search = GridSearchCV(pipeline, param_grid, n_jobs=-1, verbose=1, refit=True)
    grid_search.fit(train_x, train_y)
    

    If I replace TfBinIcfVectorizer with TfidfTransformer it does work. So it seems that there is something missing on textvec.

  • Missing

    Missing "toString" from Vectorizers

    As shown below by the code snippet, scikit-learn's TfidfTransformer for example have a pretty representation when printed, while textvec's TfIcfVectorizer doesn't. It seems that this happens to all of then.

    I'll search for way to do it like scikit-learn does.

    >>> from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfTransformer
    >>> TfidfTransformer()
    TfidfTransformer(norm='l2', smooth_idf=True, sublinear_tf=False, use_idf=True)

    That means that it should be added to the Currently implemented methods and removed from the TODO.
