TextNormalizer

class atom.nlp.TextNormalizer(stopwords=True, custom_stopwords=None, stem=False, lemmatize=True, verbose=0, logger=None)[source]

Normalize the corpus.

Convert words to a more uniform standard. The transformations are applied on the column named corpus, in the same order the parameters are presented. If there is no column with that name, an exception is raised. If the provided documents are strings, words are separated by spaces.

This class can be accessed from atom through the textnormalize method. Read more in the user guide.

Parameters

stopwords: bool or str, default=True

Whether to remove a predefined dictionary of stopwords.

If False: Don't remove any predefined stopwords.
If True: Drop predefined english stopwords from the text.
If str: Language from nltk.corpus.stopwords.words.

custom_stopwords: sequence or None, default=None

Custom stopwords to remove from the text.

stem: bool or str, default=False

Whether to apply stemming using SnowballStemmer.

If False: Don't apply stemming.
If True: Apply stemmer based on the english language.
If str: Language from SnowballStemmer.languages.

lemmatize: bool, default=True

Whether to apply lemmatization using WordNetLemmatizer.

verbose: int, default=0

Verbosity level of the class. Choose from:

0 to not print anything.
1 to print basic information.
2 to print detailed information.

logger: str, Logger or None, default=None

If None: Doesn't save a logging file.
If str: Name of the log file. Use "auto" for automatic naming.
Else: Python logging.Logger instance.

Parameters

msg: int, float or str

Message to save to the logger and print to stdout.

level: int, default=0

Set the parameters of this estimator.

Parameters	**params : dict Estimator parameters.
Returns	self : estimator instance Estimator instance.

method transform(X, y=None)[source]

Normalize the text.

Parameters	X: dataframe-like Feature set with shape=(n_samples, n_features). If X is not a pd.DataFrame, it should be composed of a single feature containing the text documents. y: int, str, dict, sequence or None, default=None Does nothing. Implemented for continuity of the API.
