# TF-IDF

### TF-IDF

Term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) is a feature vectorization method widely used in text mining to reflect the importance of a term to a document in the corpus.

TF: Both HashingTF and CountVectorizer can be used to generate the term frequency vectors.

HashingTF:

HashingTF is a Transformer which takes sets of terms and converts those sets into fixed-length feature vectors. In text processing, a “set of terms” might be a bag of words. HashingTF utilizes the hashing trick.

```
   // $example on$
    val sentenceData = spark.createDataFrame(Seq(
      (0.0, "Hi I heard about Spark"),
      (0.0, "I wish Java could use case classes"),
      (1.0, "Logistic regression models are neat")
    )).toDF("label", "sentence")

    val tokenizer = new Tokenizer().setInputCol("sentence").setOutputCol("words")
    val wordsData = tokenizer.transform(sentenceData)

    val hashingTF = new HashingTF()
      .setInputCol("words").setOutputCol("rawFeatures").setNumFeatures(20)

    val featurizedData = hashingTF.transform(wordsData)
    // alternatively, CountVectorizer can also be used to get term frequency vectors

    val idf = new IDF().setInputCol("rawFeatures").setOutputCol("features")
    val idfModel = idf.fit(featurizedData)

    val rescaledData = idfModel.transform(featurizedData)
    rescaledData.select("label", "features").show(false)
    // $example off$
