2. Feature Extraction Methods
Overview
In this chapter, you will be able to categorize data based on its content and structure. You will be able to describe preprocessing steps in detail and implement them to clean up text data. You will learn about feature engineering and calculate the similarity between texts. Once you understand these concepts, you will be able to use word clouds and some other techniques to visualize text.
Introduction
In the previous chapter, we learned about the concepts of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text analytics. We also took a quick look at various preprocessing steps. In this chapter, we will learn how to make text understandable to machine learning algorithms.
As we know, to use a machine learning ...
