TF-IDF Vectorizer

This Python-based TF-IDF Vectorizer is a simple implementation of the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm. It takes a list of text documents as input and calculates a TF-IDF matrix, which can be used for various Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning tasks. Compute the TF-IDF matrix from a collection of documents to measure the importance of words for text analysis and information retrieval tasks.

Features

• Tokenization of input documents
• Calculation of Term Frequency (TF) for each term in each document
• Calculation of Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) for each term in the corpus
• Calculation of TF-IDF matrix from input documents

Usage

1. Import the get_tf_idf_with_terms function from the tf_idf_vectorizer.py module:

from tf_idf_vectorizer import get_tf_idf_with_terms

2. Pass a list of documents (strings) to the get_tf_idf_with_terms function:

documents = [
    "A young wizard discovers his magical heritage and begins his studies at a prestigious school for wizards.",
    "A group of astronauts embark on a dangerous mission to save Earth by entering a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet.",
    "In a post-apocalyptic world, a father and son journey through a desolate landscape while trying to survive and find hope for humanity.",
    "An aspiring musician enters a magical world to find his true passion and learn what it means to live a fulfilled life.",
]

3. The get_tf_idf_with_terms function returns a tuple containing the unique terms (column keys) and the calculated TF-IDF matrix as a list of lists:

unique_terms, tf_idf_matrix = get_tf_idf_with_terms(documents)

print("Unique terms:", unique_terms)
for i, doc in enumerate(tf_idf_matrix):
    print(f"Document {i+1}: {doc}")

Example

Check example.py for sample use case.

Limitations

This implementation is intended for educational purposes and may not be as efficient or robust as more advanced libraries. It does not handle stopwords, punctuation, or stemming, which may be needed in a more advanced implementation.
