words filtering

Stemming

Preprocessing Stemming

› Porter Stemming Algorithm› E.g.

cat – cats meet – meeting agree – agreed correct - correctness

Vector Space Build dictionary 1

› word -> frequency Sort the keys of dictionary 1 Build dictionary 2

› key -> (index, count) Build binary vectors

› index -> occurrence

Similarity Calculation Vectors v1 and v2 Similarity = v1 * v2 / (norm(v1) *

norm(v2))

Performance Algorithms coded in Python

› Dynamic typing› Not good at numerical operations

Solution: numpy

Numpy A Python extension module Written mostly in C Define numerical array and matrix

types and basic operations on them

Numpy vs Python Python code

› a = range(10000000)› b = range(10000000)› c = []› for i in range(len(a)):

c.append(a[i] + b[i]) Takes up to 10 seconds on a several

GHz processor

Numpy vs Python Numpy code

› import numpy as np› a = np.arrange(10000000)› a = np.arrange(10000000)› c = a + b

Almost Instant

Numpy Usage Vector dot product Vector normalization Vector zero filling
