Basics of Text Feature Engineering Techniques

Text feature engineering involves transforming text data into numerical representations that can be used for machine learning models. Here are some common techniques:

1. Bag-of-Words (BoW)

Concept: Represents text as a collection of words (or tokens), disregarding grammar and word order, but keeping multiplicity.

Example:

  • Sentences: “I love machine learning.” and “Machine learning is fun.”
  • Vocabulary: [I, love, machine, learning, is, fun]
  • BoW Representation:
    • Sentence 1: [1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]
    • Sentence 2: [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]

2. N-Grams

Concept: Extends BoW by considering contiguous sequences of n words. Commonly used n-grams are bigrams (n=2) and trigrams (n=3).

Example:

  • Sentence: “Machine learning is fun.”
  • Bigrams: [“Machine learning”, “learning is”, “is fun”]
  • Trigrams: [“Machine learning is”, “learning is fun”]

3. Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF)

Concept: A numerical statistic that reflects how important a word is to a document in a collection. It balances the frequency of a word in a document with its inverse frequency across all documents.

Formula:

  • TF: Term Frequency (number of times a term appears in a document)
  • IDF: Inverse Document Frequency log⁡(Ndf)\log(\frac{N}{df})log(dfN​) where NNN is the total number of documents and dfdfdf is the number of documents containing the term.

Example:

  • Document 1: “I love machine learning.”
  • Document 2: “Machine learning is fun.”
  • TF-IDF for “machine” in Document 1:
    • TF = 1 (occurs once)
    • IDF = log⁡(22)=0\log(\frac{2}{2}) = 0log(22​)=0 (occurs in both documents)
    • TF-IDF = 1 * 0 = 0

4. One-Hot Encoding

Concept: Represents each word as a vector where only one element is “1” (the position of the word in the vocabulary), and all other elements are “0”.

Example:

  • Vocabulary: [I, love, machine, learning, is, fun]
  • Sentence: “Machine learning is fun.”
  • One-Hot Vectors:
    • Machine: [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]
    • Learning: [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
    • Is: [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]
    • Fun: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]

5. Word Embeddings

Concept: Represents words as dense vectors in a continuous vector space, capturing semantic meaning and relationships. Common techniques include Word2Vec and GloVe.

Example:

  • Using Word2Vec, words like “king” and “queen” might have vectors that reflect their semantic similarity and relationships (e.g., king – man + woman = queen).

Real-World Example

Text Classification Using TF-IDF and N-Grams:

  1. Dataset:
    • Reviews: [“This movie was amazing!”, “I hated the movie.”, “Best movie ever!”, “The movie was terrible.”]
  2. N-Gram Generation:
    • Bigrams: [“This movie”, “movie was”, “was amazing”, “I hated”, “hated the”, “the movie”, “Best movie”, “movie ever”, “The movie”, “movie was”, “was terrible”]
  3. TF-IDF Calculation:
    • Vocabulary: [“This movie”, “movie was”, “was amazing”, “I hated”, “hated the”, “the movie”, “Best movie”, “movie ever”, “The movie”, “was terrible”]
    • Document-Term Matrix (TF-IDF values):
      • Review 1: [0.5, 0.5, 0.7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
      • Review 2: [0, 0, 0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0.7]
      • Review 3: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.7, 0.7, 0, 0]
      • Review 4: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5, 0, 0, 0.5, 0.7]

Summary

These feature engineering techniques transform text into numerical representations, enabling machine learning models to process and analyze text data effectively. The choice of technique depends on the specific use case and the nature of the text data.
