Extracting features from text

Extracting information from text relies on being able to capture the underlying language structure. This means that we intend to capture the meaning and relationship among tokens and the meaning they try to convey within a sentence. These sorts of manipulations and tasks associated with understanding the meaning in text yield a whole branch of an interdisciplinary field called natural language processing (NLP). Here, we will focus on some examples related to transforming text into numerical features that can be used later on the machine learning and deep learning algorithms using the PySpark API in Azure Databricks.

TF-IDF

Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) is a very commonly used text preprocessing operation to convert sentences into features created based on the relative frequency of the tokens that compose them. The term frequency-inverse is used to create a set of numerical features that are constructed based on how relevant...
