TextCleaner

class atom.nlp.TextCleaner(decode=True, lower_case=True, drop_email=True, regex_email=None, drop_url=True, regex_url=None, drop_html=True, regex_html=None, drop_emoji=True, regex_emoji=None, drop_number=True, regex_number=None, drop_punctuation=True, verbose=0)[source]

Applies standard text cleaning to the corpus.

Transformations include normalizing characters and dropping noise from the text (emails, HTML tags, URLs, etc...). 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.

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

Parameters

decode: bool, default=True

Whether to decode unicode characters to their ascii representations.

lower_case: bool, default=True

Whether to convert all characters to lower case.

drop_email: bool, default=True

Whether to drop email addresses from the text.

regex_email: str, default=None

Regex used to search for email addresses. If None, it uses r"[\w.-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+".

drop_url: bool, default=True

Whether to drop URL links from the text.

regex_url: str, default=None

Regex used to search for URLs. If None, it uses r"https?://\S+|www\.\S+".

drop_html: bool, default=True

Whether to drop HTML tags from the text. This option is particularly useful if the data was scraped from a website.

regex_html: str, default=None

Regex used to search for html tags. If None, it uses r"<.*?>".

drop_emoji: bool, default=True

Whether to drop emojis from the text.

regex_emoji: str, default=None

Regex used to search for emojis. If None, it uses r":[a-z_]+:".

drop_number: bool, default=True

Whether to drop numbers from the text.

regex_number: str, default=None

Regex used to search for numbers. If None, it uses r"\b\d+\b". Note that numbers adjacent to letters are not removed.

drop_punctuation: bool, default=True

Whether to drop punctuations from the text. Characters considered punctuation are !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_~`.

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.

get_params	Get parameters for this estimator.
inverse_transform	Do nothing.
set_output	Set output container.
set_params	Set the parameters of this estimator.
transform	Apply the transformations to the data.

method fit(X=None, y=None, **fit_params)[source]

Do nothing.

Implemented for continuity of the API.

Parameters	X: dataframe-like or None, default=None Feature set with shape=(n_samples, n_features). If None, `X` is ignored. y: sequence, dataframe-like or None, default=None Target column(s) corresponding to `X`. If None, `y` is ignored. **fit_params Additional keyword arguments for the fit method.
Returns	self Estimator instance.

method fit_transform(X=None, y=None, **fit_params)[source]

Fit to data, then transform it.

Parameters	X: dataframe-like or None, default=None Feature set with shape=(n_samples, n_features). If None, `X` is ignored. y: sequence, dataframe-like or None, default=None Target column(s) corresponding to `X`. If None, `y` is ignored. **fit_params Additional keyword arguments for the fit method.
Returns	dataframe Transformed feature set. Only returned if provided. series or dataframe Transformed target column. Only returned if provided.

method get_feature_names_out(input_features=None)[source]

Get output feature names for transformation.

Parameters

input_features : array-like of str or None, default=None

Input features.

If input_features is None, then feature_names_in_ is used as feature names in. If feature_names_in_ is not defined, then the following input feature names are generated: ["x0", "x1", ..., "x(n_features_in_ - 1)"].
If input_features is an array-like, then input_features must match feature_names_in_ if feature_names_in_ is defined.

Returns

feature_names_out : ndarray of str objects

Same as input features.

method get_params(deep=True)[source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters	deep : bool, default=True If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns	params : dict Parameter names mapped to their values.

method inverse_transform(X=None, y=None, **fit_params)[source]

Do nothing.

Returns the input unchanged. Implemented for continuity of the API.

Parameters	X: dataframe-like or None, default=None Feature set with shape=(n_samples, n_features). If None, `X` is ignored. y: sequence, dataframe-like or None, default=None Target column(s) corresponding to `X`. If None, `y` is ignored.
Returns	dataframe Feature set. Only returned if provided. series or dataframe Target column(s). Only returned if provided.

method set_output(transform=None)[source]

Set output container.

See sklearn's user guide on how to use the set_output API. See here a description of the choices.

Parameters	transform: str or None, default=None Configure the output of the `transform`, `fit_transform`, and `inverse_transform` method. If None, the configuration is not changed. Choose from: "numpy" "pandas" (default) "pandas-pyarrow" "polars" "polars-lazy" "pyarrow" "modin" "dask" "pyspark" "pyspark-pandas"
Returns	Self Estimator instance.

method set_params(**params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

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

Apply the transformations to the data.

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