# CountVectorizer

CountVectorizer converts text documents to vectors of term counts. IDF: IDF is an Estimator which is fit on a dataset and produces an IDFModel. The IDFModel takes feature vectors (generally created from HashingTF or CountVectorizer) and scales each feature. Intuitively, it down-weights features which appear frequently in a corpus.

```
import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.{RegexTokenizer, Tokenizer}


val tokenizer = new Tokenizer().setInputCol("message")
  .setOutputCol("words")


val wordsData = tokenizer.transform(df_select)
wordsData.show(3, false)



import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.{CountVectorizer}


val count = new CountVectorizer().setInputCol("words")
   .setOutputCol("rawFeatures")


val model = count.fit(wordsData)


val featurizedData = model.transform(wordsData)


featurizedData.show(3,false)
```

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/countvectorizer.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
