Text feature extraction and pre-processing for classification algorithm is very significant. In this section, we start to talk about text cleaning which most of documents have a lot of noise. In this part we discuss about two main methods of text feature extractions which are word embedding and weighted word.

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), most of the text and document datasets contains many unnecessary words such as Stopwords, miss-spelling, slang, and etc. In this section, we briefly explain some techniques and method for text cleaning and pre-processing text datasets. In many algorithm, especially statistical and probabilistic learning algorithm, noise and unnecessary features could have bad effect on performance of the system, so one of the solution could be illumination and remove these features as pre-processing step.

Tokenization is a part of pre-process to break a stream of text up into words, phrases, symbols, or other meaningful elements called tokens. The main goal of this step is the exploration of the words in a sentence. In text mining beside of text classification, it;'s necessitate a parser which processes the tokenization of the documents; for example:

sentence:

After sleeping for four hours, he decided to sleep for another four

In this case, the tokens are as follows:

{'After', 'sleeping', 'for', 'four', 'hours', 'he', 'decided', 'to', 'sleep', 'for', 'another', 'four'}

Here is python code for Tokenization:

from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
text = "After sleeping for four hours, he decided to sleep for another four"
tokens = word_tokenize(text)
print(tokens)

Text and document classification over social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and so on is usually affected by the noisy nature (abbreviations, irregular forms) of these data points.

Here is an exmple from geeksforgeeks

from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

example_sent = "This is a sample sentence, showing off the stop words filtration."

stop_words = set(stopwords.words('english'))

word_tokens = word_tokenize(example_sent)

filtered_sentence = [w for w in word_tokens if not w in stop_words]

filtered_sentence = []

for w in word_tokens:
    if w not in stop_words:
        filtered_sentence.append(w)

print(word_tokens)
print(filtered_sentence)

Output:

['This', 'is', 'a', 'sample', 'sentence', ',', 'showing',
'off', 'the', 'stop', 'words', 'filtration', '.']
['This', 'sample', 'sentence', ',', 'showing', 'stop',
'words', 'filtration', '.']

Text and document data points have a diversity of capitalization to became a sentence; substantially, several sentences together create a document. The most common approach of capitalization method could be to reduce everything to lower case. This technique makes all words in text and document in same space, but it is caused to a significant problem for meaning of some words such as "US" to "us" which first one represent the country of United States of America and second one is pronouns word; thus, for solving this problem, we could use slang and abbreviation converters.

text = "The United States of America (USA) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states"
print(text)
print(text.lower())

Output:

"The United States of America (USA) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states"
"the united states of america (usa) or america, is a federal republic composed of 50 states"

Slang and Abbreviation is another problem as pre-processing step for cleaning text datasets. An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase which contain mostly first letters form the words such as SVM stand for Support Vector Machine. Slang is a version of language of an informal talk or text that has different meaning such as "lost the plot", it essentially means that they've gone mad. The common method for dealing with these words is convert them to formal language.

The other issue of text cleaning as pre-processing step is noise removal which most of text and document datasets contains many unnecessary characters such as punctuation, special character. It's important to know the punctuation is critical for us to understand the meaning of the sentence, but it could have effect for classification algorithms.

Here is simple code to remove standard noise from text:

def text_cleaner(text):
    rules = [
        {r'>\s+': u'>'},  # remove spaces after a tag opens or closes
        {r'\s+': u' '},  # replace consecutive spaces
        {r'\s*<br\s*/?>\s*': u'\n'},  # newline after a <br>
        {r'</(div)\s*>\s*': u'\n'},  # newline after </p> and </div> and <h1/>...
        {r'</(p|h\d)\s*>\s*': u'\n\n'},  # newline after </p> and </div> and <h1/>...
        {r'<head>.*<\s*(/head|body)[^>]*>': u''},  # remove <head> to </head>
        {r'<a\s+href="([^"]+)"[^>]*>.*</a>': r'\1'},  # show links instead of texts
        {r'[ \t]*<[^<]*?/?>': u''},  # remove remaining tags
        {r'^\s+': u''}  # remove spaces at the beginning
    ]
    for rule in rules:
    for (k, v) in rule.items():
        regex = re.compile(k)
        text = regex.sub(v, text)
    text = text.rstrip()
    return text.lower()

One of the optional part of the pre-processing step is spelling correction which is happened in texts and documents. Many algorithm, techniques, and methods have been addressed this problem in NLP. Many techniques and methods are available for researchers such as hashing-based and context-sensitive spelling correction techniques, or spelling correction using trie and damerau-levenshtein distance bigram.

from autocorrect import spell

print spell('caaaar')
print spell(u'mussage')
print spell(u'survice')
print spell(u'hte')

Text Stemming is modifying to obtain variant word forms using different linguistic processes such as affixation (addition of affixes). For example, the stem of the word "studying" is "study", to which -ing.

Here is an example of Stemming from NLTK

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
from nltk.tokenize import sent_tokenize, word_tokenize

ps = PorterStemmer()

example_words = ["python","pythoner","pythoning","pythoned","pythonly"]

for w in example_words:
print(ps.stem(w))

Result:

python
python
python
python
pythonli

Text lemmatization is process in NLP to replaces the suffix of a word with a different one or removes the suffix of a word completely to get the basic word form (lemma).

from nltk.stem import WordNetLemmatizer

lemmatizer = WordNetLemmatizer()

print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("cats"))

Different word embedding has been proposed to translate these unigrams into understandable input for machine learning algorithms. Most basic methods to perform such embedding is term-frequency~(TF) where each word will be mapped to a number corresponding to the number of occurrence of that word in the whole corpora. The other term frequency functions have been also used that present words frequency as Boolean or logarithmically scaled number. As regarding to results, each document will be translated to a vector with the length of document, containing the frequency of the words in that document. Although such approach is very intuitive but it suffers from the fact that particular words that are used commonly in language literature would dominate such word representation.

docs/pic/CBOW.png

Original from https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/

I’ve copied it to a github project so I can apply and track community patches for my needs (starting with capability for Mac OS X compilation).

There seems to be a segfault in the compute-accuracy utility.

To get started:

cd scripts && ./demo-word.sh

Original README text follows:

This tool provides an efficient implementation of the continuous bag-of-words and skip-gram architectures for computing vector representations of words. These representations can be subsequently used in many natural language processing applications and for further research.

this code provides an implementation of the Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBOW) and the Skip-gram model (SG), as well as several demo scripts.

Given a text corpus, the word2vec tool learns a vector for every word in the vocabulary using the Continuous Bag-of-Words or the Skip-Gram neural network architectures. The user should to specify the following: - desired vector dimensionality - the size of the context window for either the Skip-Gram or the Continuous Bag-of-Words model - training algorithm: hierarchical softmax and / or negative sampling - threshold for downsampling the frequent words - number of threads to use - the format of the output word vector file (text or binary)

Usually, the other hyper-parameters such as the learning rate do not need to be tuned for different training sets.

The script demo-word.sh downloads a small (100MB) text corpus from the web, and trains a small word vector model. After the training is finished, the user can interactively explore the similarity of the words.

More information about the scripts is provided at https://code.google.com/p/word2vec/

/docs/pic/Glove.PNG

An implementation of the GloVe model for learning word representations is provided, and describe how to download web-dataset vectors or train your own. See the project page or the paper for more information on glove vectors.

ELMo is a deep contextualized word representation that models both (1) complex characteristics of word use (e.g., syntax and semantics), and (2) how these uses vary across linguistic contexts (i.e., to model polysemy). These word vectors are learned functions of the internal states of a deep bidirectional language model (biLM), which is pre-trained on a large text corpus. They can be easily added to existing models and significantly improve the state of the art across a broad range of challenging NLP problems, including question answering, textual entailment and sentiment analysis.

ELMo representations are:

  • Contextual: The representation for each word depends on the entire context in which it is used.
  • Deep: The word representations combine all layers of a deep pre-trained neural network.
  • Character based: ELMo representations are purely character based, allowing the network to use morphological clues to form robust representations for out-of-vocabulary tokens unseen in training.

Tensorflow implementation

Tensorflow implementation of the pretrained biLM used to compute ELMo representations from "Deep contextualized word representations".

This repository supports both training biLMs and using pre-trained models for prediction.

We also have a pytorch implementation available in AllenNLP.

You may also find it easier to use the version provided in Tensorflow Hub if you just like to make predictions.

pre-trained models:

We have several different English language pre-trained biLMs available for use. Each model is specified with two separate files, a JSON formatted "options" file with hyperparameters and a hdf5 formatted file with the model weights. Links to the pre-trained models are available here.

There are three ways to integrate ELMo representations into a downstream task, depending on your use case.

  1. Compute representations on the fly from raw text using character input. This is the most general method and will handle any input text. It is also the most computationally expensive.
  2. Precompute and cache the context independent token representations, then compute context dependent representations using the biLSTMs for input data. This method is less computationally expensive then #1, but is only applicable with a fixed, prescribed vocabulary.
  3. Precompute the representations for your entire dataset and save to a file.

We have used all of these methods in the past for various use cases. #1 is necessary for evaluating at test time on unseen data (e.g. public SQuAD leaderboard). #2 is a good compromise for large datasets where the size of the file in #3 is unfeasible (SNLI, SQuAD). #3 is a good choice for smaller datasets or in cases where you'd like to use ELMo in other frameworks.

In all cases, the process roughly follows the same steps. First, create a Batcher (or TokenBatcher for #2) to translate tokenized strings to numpy arrays of character (or token) ids. Then, load the pretrained ELMo model (class BidirectionalLanguageModel). Finally, for steps #1 and #2 use weight_layers to compute the final ELMo representations. For #3, use BidirectionalLanguageModel to write all the intermediate layers to a file.

Cheatsheet

Term frequency is Bag of words that is simplest technique of text feature extraction. This method is based on counting number of the words in each document and assign it to feature space.

The mathematical representation of weight of a term in a document by Tf-idf is given:

docs/eq/tf-idf.gif

Where N is number of documents and df(t) is the number of documents containing the term t in the corpus. The first part would improve recall and the later would improve the precision of the word embedding. Although tf-idf tries to overcome the problem of common terms in document, it still suffers from some other descriptive limitations. Namely, tf-idf cannot account for the similarity between words in the document since each word is presented as an index. In the recent years, with development of more complex models such as neural nets, new methods has been presented that can incorporate concepts such as similarity of words and part of speech tagging. This work uses, word2vec and Glove, two of the most common methods that have been successfully used for deep learning techniques.

Principle component analysis~(PCA) is the most popular technique in multivariate analysis and dimensionality reduction. PCA is a method to identify a subspace in which the data approximately lies. This means finding new variables that are uncorrelated and maximizing the variance to preserve as much variability as possible.

Example of PCA on text dataset (20newsgroups) from tf-idf with 75000 features to 2000 components:

    vectorizer_x = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=MAX_NB_WORDS)
    X_train = vectorizer_x.fit_transform(X_train).toarray()
    X_test = vectorizer_x.transform(X_test).toarray()
    print("tf-idf with", str(np.array(X_train).shape[1]), "features")
    return (X_train, X_test)

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a commonly used technique for data classification and dimensionality reduction. LDA is particularly helpful where the within-class frequencies are unequal and their performances have been evaluated on randomly generated test data. Class-dependent and class-independent transformation are two approaches to LDA in which the ratio of between class variance to within class variance and the ratio of the overall variance to within class variance are used respectively.

Random projection or random feature is technique for dimensionality reduction which is mostly used for very large volume dataset or very high dimensional feature space. Text and document, especially with weighted feature extraction, generate huge number of features. Many researchers addressed Random Projection for text data for text mining, text classification and/or dimensionality reduction. we start to review some random projection techniques.

Autoencoder is a neural network technique that is trained to attempt to copy its input to its output. The autoencoder as dimensional reduction methods have achieved great success via the powerful reprehensibility of neural networks. The main idea is one hidden layer between input and output layers has fewer units which could be used as reduced dimension of feature space. Specially for texts, documents, and sequences that contains many features, autoencoder could help to process of data faster and more efficient.

T-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (T-SNE) is a nonlinear dimensionality reduction method for embedding high-dimensional data for which is mostly used for visualization in a low-dimensional space. This approach is based on G. Hinton and ST. Roweis . SNE works by converting the high dimensional Euclidean distances into conditional probabilities which represent similarities.

Example:
import numpy as np
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
X = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]])
X_embedded = TSNE(n_components=2).fit_transform(X)
X_embedded.shape

The first version of Rocchio algorithm is introduced by rocchio in 1971 to use relevance feedback in querying full-text databases. Since then many researchers addressed and developed this technique for text and document classification. This method uses TF-IDF weights for each informative word instead of a set of Boolean features. Using a training set of documents, Rocchio's algorithm builds a prototype vector for each class which is an average vector over all training document vectors that belongs to a certain class. Then, it will assign each test document to a class with maximum similarity that between test document and each of prototype vectors.

When in nearest centroid classifier, we used for text as input data for classification with tf-idf vectors, this classifier is known as the Rocchio classifier.

Boosting is a Ensemble learning meta-algorithm for primarily reducing Supervised learning, and also variance in supervised learning, and a family of machine learning algorithms that convert weak learners to strong ones. Boosting is based on the question posed by Michael Kearns and Leslie Valiant (1988, 1989) Can a set of weak learners create a single strong learner. A weak learner is defined to be a Classification that is only slightly correlated with the true classification (it can label examples better than random guessing). In contrast, a strong learner is a classifier that is arbitrarily well-correlated with the true classification.

NaĂŻve Bayes text classification has been used in industry and academia for a long time (introduced by Thomas Bayes between 1701-1761) ; however, this technique is studied since 1950s for text and document categorization. Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) is generative model which is the most traditional method of text categorization which is widely used in Information Retrieval. Many researchers addressed and developed this technique for their applications. We start the most basic version of NBC which developed by using term-frequency (Bag of Word) fetaure extraction technique by counting number of words in documents

The original version of SVM was introduced by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in 1963. The early 1990s, nonlinear version was addressed by BE. Boser et al.. Original version of SVM was designed for binary classification problem, but Many researchers work on multi-class problem using this authoritative technique.

The advantages of support vector machines are based on scikit-learn page:

  • Effective in high dimensional spaces.
  • Still effective in cases where number of dimensions is greater than the number of samples.
  • Uses a subset of training points in the decision function (called support vectors), so it is also memory efficient.
  • Versatile: different Kernel functions can be specified for the decision function. Common kernels are provided, but it is also possible to specify custom kernels.

The disadvantages of support vector machines include:

  • If the number of features is much greater than the number of samples, avoid over-fitting in choosing Kernel functions and regularization term is crucial.
  • SVMs do not directly provide probability estimates, these are calculated using an expensive five-fold cross-validation (see Scores and probabilities, below).

One of earlier classification algorithm for text and data mining is decision tree. Decision tree classifiers (DTC's) are used successfully in many diverse areas for classification. The structure of this technique is a hierarchical decomposition of the data space (only train dataset). Decision tree as classification task is introduced by D. Morgan and developed by JR. Quinlan. The main idea is creating tree based on attribute for categorized data points, but main challenge of decision tree is which attribute or feature could be in parents' level and which one should be in child level. for solving this problem, De Mantaras introduced statistical modeling for feature selection in tree.

Random forests or random decision forests technique is an ensemble learning method for text classification. This method is introduced by T. Kam Ho in 1995 for first time which used t tree as parallel. This technique is developed by L. Breiman in 1999 that they find converge for RF as margin measure.

Conditional Random Field (CRF) is an undirected graphical model as shown in figure. CRFs state the conditional probability of a label sequence Y give a sequence of observation X i.e. P(Y|X). CRFs can incorporate complex features of observation sequence without violating the independence assumption by modeling the conditional probability of the label sequence rather than the joint probability P(X,Y). The concept of clique which is a fully connected subgraph and clique potential are used for computing P(X|Y). Considering one potential function for each clique of the graph, the probability of a variable configuration is corresponding to the product of a series of non-negative potential function. The value computed by each potential function is equivalent to the probability of the variables in its corresponding clique taken on a particular configuration.

test_sents = list(nltk.corpus.conll2002.iob_sents('esp.testb'))

sklearn-crfsuite (and python-crfsuite) supports several feature formats; here we use feature dicts.

        'word.isupper()': word.isupper(),
        'word.istitle()': word.istitle(),
        'word.isdigit()': word.isdigit(),
        'postag': postag,

    }
    if i > 0:

        })
    else:

        })
    else:

Deep Neural Networks' architecture is designed to learn by multi connection of layers that each single layer only receives connection from previous and provides connections only to the next layer in hidden part. The input is a connection of feature space (As discussed in Section Feature_extraction with first hidden layer. For Deep Neural Networks (DNN), input layer could be tf-ifd, word embedding, or etc. as shown in standard DNN in Figure. The output layer is number of classes for multi-class classification and only one output for binary classification. But our main contribution of this paper is that we have many training DNN for different purposes. In our techniques, we have multi-classes DNNs which each learning models is generated randomly (number of nodes in each layer and also number of layers are completely random assigned). Our implementation of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) is discriminative trained model that uses standard back-propagation algorithm using sigmoid or ReLU as activation function. The output layer for multi-class classification, should use Softmax.

Another neural network architecture that addressed with researchers for text miming and classification is Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). RNN assigns more weights to the previous data points of sequence. Therefore, this technique is a powerful method for text, string and sequential data classification. Moreover, this technique could be used for image classification as we did in this work. In RNN the neural net considers the information of previous nodes in a very sophisticated method which allows for better semantic analysis of structures of dataset.

Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is a gating mechanism for RNN which was introduced by J. Chung et al. and K.Cho et al.. GRU is a simplified variant of the LSTM architecture, but there are differences as follows: GRU contains two gates, a GRU does not possess internal memory (as shown in Figure; and finally, a second non-linearity is not applied (tanh in Figure).

Long Short-Term Memory~(LSTM) was introduced by S. Hochreiter and J. Schmidhuber and developed by many research scientists.

To deal with these problems Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a special type of RNN that preserve long term dependency in a more effective way in comparison to the basic RNN. This is particularly useful to overcome vanishing gradient problem. Although LSTM has a chain-like structure similar to RNN, LSTM uses multiple gates to carefully regulate the amount of information that will be allowed into each node state. Figure shows the basic cell of a LSTM model.

One of the deep learning architectures is Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that is employed for hierarchical document classification. Although originally built for image processing with architecture similar to the visual cortex, CNN have also been effectively used for text classification. In the basic CNN for image processing an image tensor is convolved with a set of kernels of size d by d. These convolution layers are called feature maps and these can be stacked to provide multiple filters on the input. To reduce the computational complexity CNN use pooling which reduces the size of the output from one layer to the next in the network. Different pooling techniques are used to reduce outputs while preserving important features.

The most common pooling method is max pooling where the maximum element is selected in the pooling window. In order to feed the pooled output from stacked featured maps to the next layer, the maps are flattened into one column. The final layers in a CNN are typically fully connected. In general, during the back-propagation step of a convolutional neural network not only the weights are adjusted but also the feature detector filters. A potential problem of CNN used for text is the number of 'channels', Sigma (size of the feature space). This might be very large (e.g. 50K), for text but for images this is less of a problem (e.g. only 3 channels of RGB). This means the dimensionality of the CNN for text is very high.

ecurrent Convolutional Neural Networks (RCNN) is used for text classification. The main idea of this technique is capturing contextual information with the recurrent structure and constructs the representation of text using a convolutional neural network. This architecture is a combination of RNN and CNN to use advantages of both technique in a model.

Documentation:

The exponential growth in the number of complex datasets every year requires more enhancement in machine learning methods to provide robust and accurate data classification. Lately, deep learning approaches have been achieved surpassing results in comparison to previous machine learning algorithms on tasks such as image classification, natural language processing, face recognition, and etc. The success of these deep learning algorithms relys on their capacity to model complex and non-linear relationships within data. However, finding the suitable structure for these models has been a challenge for researchers. This paper introduces Random Multimodel Deep Learning (RMDL): a new ensemble, deep learning approach for classification. RMDL solves the problem of finding the best deep learning structure and architecture while simultaneously improving robustness and accuracy through ensembles of deep learning architectures. In short, RMDL trains multiple models of Deep Neural Network (DNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) in parallel and combines their results to produce better result of any of those models individually. To create these models, each deep learning model has been constructed in a random fashion regarding the number of layers and nodes in their neural network structure. The resulting RDML model can be used for various domains such as text, video, images, and symbolic. In this Project, we describe RMDL model in depth and show the results for image and text classification as well as face recognition. For image classification, we compared our model with some of the available baselines using MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. Similarly, we used four datasets namely, WOS, Reuters, IMDB, and 20newsgroup and compared our results with available baselines. Web of Science (WOS) has been collected by authors and consists of three sets~(small, medium and large set). Lastly, we used ORL dataset to compare the performance of our approach with other face recognition methods. These test results show that RDML model consistently outperform standard methods over a broad range of data types and classification problems.

Refrenced paper : HDLTex: Hierarchical Deep Learning for Text Classification

HDLTex

Documentation:

Increasingly large document collections require improved information processing methods for searching, retrieving, and organizing text. Central to these information processing methods is document classification, which has become an important application for supervised learning. Recently the performance of traditional supervised classifiers has degraded as the number of documents has increased. This is because along with growth in the number of documents has come an increase in the number of categories. This paper approaches this problem differently from current document classification methods that view the problem as multi-class classification. Instead we perform hierarchical classification using an approach we call Hierarchical Deep Learning for Text classification (HDLTex). HDLTex employs stacks of deep learning architectures to provide specialized understanding at each level of the document hierarchy.

Compute the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC)

The Matthews correlation coefficient is used in machine learning as a measure of the quality of binary (two-class) classifications. It takes into account true and false positives and negatives and is generally regarded as a balanced measure which can be used even if the classes are of very different sizes. The MCC is in essence a correlation coefficient value between -1 and +1. A coefficient of +1 represents a perfect prediction, 0 an average random prediction and -1 an inverse prediction. The statistic is also known as the phi coefficient.

from sklearn.metrics import matthews_corrcoef
y_true = [+1, +1, +1, -1]
y_pred = [+1, -1, +1, +1]
matthews_corrcoef(y_true, y_pred)

ROC curves are typically used in binary classification to study the output of a classifier. In order to extend ROC curve and ROC area to multi-class or multi-label classification, it is necessary to binarize the output. One ROC curve can be drawn per label, but one can also draw a ROC curve by considering each element of the label indicator matrix as a binary prediction (micro-averaging).

Another evaluation measure for multi-class classification is macro-averaging, which gives equal weight to the classification of each label. [sources]

Dataset of 25,000 movies reviews from IMDB, labeled by sentiment (positive/negative). Reviews have been preprocessed, and each review is encoded as a sequence of word indexes (integers). For convenience, words are indexed by overall frequency in the dataset, so that for instance the integer "3" encodes the 3rd most frequent word in the data. This allows for quick filtering operations such as: "only consider the top 10,000 most common words, but eliminate the top 20 most common words".

As a convention, "0" does not stand for a specific word, but instead is used to encode any unknown word.

The 20 newsgroups dataset comprises around 18000 newsgroups posts on 20 topics split in two subsets: one for training (or development) and the other one for testing (or for performance evaluation). The split between the train and test set is based upon a messages posted before and after a specific date.

This module contains two loaders. The first one, sklearn.datasets.fetch_20newsgroups, returns a list of the raw texts that can be fed to text feature extractors such as sklearn.feature_extraction.text.CountVectorizer with custom parameters so as to extract feature vectors. The second one, sklearn.datasets.fetch_20newsgroups_vectorized, returns ready-to-use features, i.e., it is not necessary to use a feature extractor.

newsgroups_train = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='train')
