1. Gensim ― Introduction Gensim
This chapter will help you understand history and features of Gensim along with its uses
and advantages.
What is Gensim?
Gensim = “Generate Similar” is a popular open source natural language processing
(NLP) library used for unsupervised topic modeling. It uses top academic models and
modern statistical machine learning to perform various complex tasks such as:
 Building document or word vectors

 Corpora
 Performing topic identification
 Performing document comparison (retrieving semantically similar documents)
 Analysing plain-text documents for semantic structure
Apart from performing the above complex tasks, Gensim, implemented in Python and
Cython, is designed to handle large text collections using data streaming as well as
incremental online algorithms. This makes it different from those machine learning
software packages that target only in-memory processing.
History
In 2008, Gensim started off as a collection of various Python scripts for the Czech Digital
Mathematics. There, it served to generate a short list of the most similar articles to a
particular given article. But in 2009, RARE Technologies Ltd. released its initial release.
Then, later in July 2019, we got its stable release (3.8.0).
Various Features
Following are some of the features and capabilities offered by Gensim:
Scalability
Gensim can easily process large and web-scale corpora by using its incremental online
training algorithms. It is scalable in nature, as there is no need for the whole input corpus
to reside fully in Random Access Memory (RAM) at any one time. In other words, all its
algorithms are memory-independent with respect to the corpus size.
Robust
Gensim is robust in nature and has been in use in various systems by various people as
well as organisations for over 4 years. We can easily plug in our own input corpus or data
stream. It is also very easy to extend with other Vector Space Algorithms.
1
Gensim
Platform agnostic
As we know that Python is a very versatile language as being pure Python Gensim runs on
all the platforms (like Windows, Mac OS, Linux) that supports Python and Numpy.
Efficient multicore implementations

In order to speed up processing and retrieval on machine clusters, Gensim provides
efficient multicore implementations of various popular algorithms like Latent Semantic
Analysis (LSA), Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Random Projections (RP),
Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP).
Open source and abundance of community support

Gensim is licensed under the OSI-approved GNU LGPL license which allows it to be used
for both personal as well as commercial use for free. Any modifications made in Gensim
are in turn open-sourced and has abundance of community support too.
Uses of Gensim
Gensim has been used and cited in over thousand commercial and academic applications.
It is also cited by various research papers and student theses. It includes streamed
parallelised implementations of the following:
fastText
fastText, uses a neural network for word embedding, is a library for learning of word
embedding and text classification. It is created by Facebook’s AI Research (FAIR) lab. This
model, basically, allows us to create a supervised or unsupervised algorithm for obtaining
vector representations for words.
Word2vec
Word2vec, used to produce word embedding, is a group of shallow and two-layer neural
network models. The models are basically trained to reconstruct linguistic contexts of
words.
LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis)

It is a technique in NLP (Natural Language Processing) that allows us to analyse
relationships between a set of documents and their containing terms. It is done by
producing a set of concepts related to the documents and terms.
LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation)

It is a technique in NLP that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved
groups. These unobserved groups explain, why some parts of the data are similar. That’s
the reason, it is a generative statistical model.
tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency)

tf-idf, a numeric statistic in information retrieval, reflects how important a word is to a
document in a corpus. It is often used by search engines to score and rank a document’s
2
Gensim
relevance given a user query. It can also be used for stop-words filtering in text
summarisation and classification.
All of them will be explained in detail in the next sections.
Advantages
Gensim is a NLP package that does topic modeling. The important advantages of Gensim
are as follows:
 We may get the facilities of topic modeling and word embedding in other packages
like ‘scikit-learn’ and ‘R’, but the facilities provided by Gensim for building topic
models and word embedding is unparalleled. It also provides more convenient
facilities for text processing.
 Another most significant advantage of Gensim is that, it let us handle large text
files even without loading the whole file in memory.
 Gensim doesn’t require costly annotations or hand tagging of documents because

it uses unsupervised models.

3. Gensim — Documents & Corpus Gensim
Here, we shall learn about the core concepts of Gensim, with main focus on the documents
and the corpus.
Core Concepts of Gensim

Following are the core concepts and terms that are needed to understand and use Gensim:
 Document: It refers to some text.

 Corpus: It refers to a collection of documents.
 Vector: Mathematical representation of a document is called vector.
 Model: It refers to an algorithm used for transforming vectors from one
representation to another.
What is Document?
As discussed, it refers to some text. If we go in some detail, it is an object of the text
sequence type which is known as ‘str’ in Python 3. For example, in Gensim, a document
can be anything such as:
 Short tweet of 140 characters

 Single paragraph, i.e. article or research paper abstract
 News article
 Book
 Novel
 Theses
Text Sequence
A text sequence type is commonly known as ‘str’ in Python 3. As we know that in Python,
textual data is handled with strings or more specifically ‘str’ objects. Strings are basically
immutable sequences of Unicode code points and can be written in the following ways:
 Single quotes: For example, ‘Hi! How are you?’. It allows us to embed double
quotes also. For example, ‘Hi! “How” are you?’
 Double quotes: For example, “Hi! How are you?”. It allows us to embed single
quotes also. For example, “Hi! ‘How’ are you?”
 Triple quotes: It can have either three single quotes like, ‘’’Hi! How are you?’’’
or three double quotes like, “”” Hi! ‘How’ are you?”””
All the whitespaces will be included in the string literal.

Gensim
Example
Following is an example of a Document in Gensim:
Document = “Tutorialspoint.com is the biggest online tutorials library and it’s

all free also”
What is Corpus?
A corpus may be defined as the large and structured set of machine-readable texts
produced in a natural communicative setting. In Gensim, a collection of document object
is called corpus. The plural of corpus is corpora.
Role of Corpus in Gensim

A corpus in Gensim serves the following two roles:
Serves as input for training a model

The very first and important role a corpus plays in Gensim, is as an input for training a
model. In order to initialize model’s internal parameters, during training, the model look
for some common themes and topics from the training corpus. As discussed above, Gensim
focuses on unsupervised models, hence it doesn’t require any kind of human intervention.
Serves as topic extractor

Once the model is trained, it can be used to extract topics from the new documents. Here,
the new documents are the ones that are not used in the training phase.
Example
The corpus can include all the tweets by a particular person, list of all the articles of a
newspaper or all the research papers on a particular topic etc.
Collecting Corpus
Following is an example of small corpus which contains 5 documents. Here, every
document is a string consisting of a single sentence.
t_corpus = [
"A survey of user opinion of computer system response time",
“Relation of user perceived response time to error measurement",
"The generation of random binary unordered trees",
"The intersection graph of paths in trees",
"Graph minors IV Widths of trees and well quasi ordering",
]
8
Gensim
Preprocessing Collecting Corpus

Once we collect the corpus, a few preprocessing steps should be taken to keep corpus
simple. We can simply remove some commonly used English words like ‘the’. We can also
remove words that occur only once in the corpus.
For example, the following Python script is used to lowercase each document, split it by
white space and filter out stop words:
import pprint
t_corpus = ["A survey of user opinion of computer system response time",

“Relation of user perceived response time to error measurement", "The
generation of random binary unordered trees", "The intersection graph of paths
in trees", "Graph minors IV Widths of trees and well quasi ordering",]
stoplist = set('for a of the and to in'.split(' '))
processed_corpus = [[word for word in document.lower().split() if word not in

stoplist]
for document in t_corpus]
pprint.pprint(processed_corpus)
Output
[['survey', 'user', 'opinion', 'computer', 'system', 'response', 'time'],
['relation', 'user', 'perceived', 'response', 'time', 'error', 'measurement'],
['generation', 'random', 'binary', 'unordered', 'trees'],
['intersection', 'graph', 'paths', 'trees'],
['graph', 'minors', 'iv', 'widths', 'trees', 'well', 'quasi', 'ordering']]
Effective Preprocessing
Gensim also provides function for more effective preprocessing of the corpus. In such kind
of preprocessing, we can convert a document into a list of lowercase tokens. We can also
ignore tokens that are too short or too long. Such function is
gensim.utils.simple_preprocess(doc, deacc=False, min_len=2, max_len=15).
gensim.utils.simple_preprocess() fucntion
Gensim provide this function to convert a document into a list of lowercase tokens and
also for ignoring tokens that are too short or too long. It has the following parameters:
9
Gensim
doc(str)
It refers to the input document on which preprocessing should be applied.
deacc(bool, optional)
This parameter is used to remove the accent marks from tokens. It uses deaccent() to
do this.
min_len(int, optional)
With the help of this parameter, we can set the minimum length of a token. The tokens
shorter than defined length will be discarded.
max_len(int, optional)
With the help of this parameter we can set the maximum length of a token. The tokens
longer than defined length will be discarded.
The output of this function would be the tokens extracted from input document.
10
4. Gensim — Vector & Model Gensim
Here, we shall learn about the core concepts of Gensim, with main focus on the vector and
the model.
What is Vector?
What if we want to infer the latent structure in our corpus? For this, we need to represent
the documents in a such a way that we can manipulate the same mathematically. One
popular kind of representation is to represent every document of corpus as a vector of
features. That’s why we can say that vector is a mathematical convenient representation
of a document.
To give you an example, let’s represent a single feature, of our above used corpus, as a
Q-A pair:
Q: How many times does the word Hello appear in the document?
A: Zero(0).
Q: How many paragraphs are there in the document?
A: Two(2)
The question is generally represented by its integer id, hence the representation of this
document is a series of pairs like (1, 0.0), (2, 2.0). Such vector representation is known
as a dense vector. Why dense, because it comprises an explicit answer to all the
questions written above.
The representation can be a simple like (0, 2), if we know all the questions in advance.
Such sequence of the answers (of course if the questions are known in advance) is the
vector for our document.
Another popular kind of representation is the bag-of-word (BoW) model. In this

approach, each document is basically represented by a vector containing the frequency
count of every word in the dictionary.
To give you an example, suppose we have a dictionary that contains the words [‘Hello’,
‘How’, ‘are’, ‘you’]. A document consisting of the string “How are you how” would then be
represented by the vector [0, 2, 1, 1]. Here, the entries of the vector are in order of the
occurrences of “Hello”, “How”, “are”, and “you”.
Vector versus Document

From the above explanation of vector, the distinction between a document and a vector is
almost understood. But, to make it clearer, document is text and vector is a
mathematically convenient representation of that text. Unfortunately, sometimes many
people use these terms interchangeably.
11
Gensim
For example, suppose we have some arbitrary document A then instead of saying, “the
vector that corresponds to document A”, they used to say, “the vector A” or “the document
A”. This leads to great ambiguity. One more important thing to be noted here is that, two
different documents may have the same vector representation.
Converting corpus into list of vectors

Before taking an implementation example of converting corpus into the list of vectors, we
need to associate each word in the corpus with a unique integer ID. For this, we will be
extending the example taken in above chapter.
from gensim import corpora
dictionary = corpora.Dictionary(processed_corpus)
print(dictionary)
Output
Dictionary(25 unique tokens: ['computer', 'opinion', 'response', 'survey',

'system']...)
It shows that in our corpus there are 25 different tokens in this

gensim.corpora.Dictionary.
Implementation Example
We can use the dictionary to turn tokenised documents into these 5-diemsional vectors as
follows:
pprint.pprint(dictionary.token2id)
Output
{'binary': 11,
'computer': 0,
'error': 7,
'generation': 12,
'graph': 16,
'intersection': 17,
'iv': 19,
'measurement': 8,
'minors': 20,
'opinion': 1,
'ordering': 21,
12
Gensim
'paths': 18,
'perceived': 9,
'quasi': 22,
'random': 13,
'relation': 10,
'response': 2,
'survey': 3,
'system': 4,
'time': 5,
'trees': 14,
'unordered': 15,
'user': 6,
'well': 23,
'widths': 24}
And similarly, we can create the bag-of-word representation for a document as follows:
BoW_corpus = [dictionary.doc2bow(text) for text in processed_corpus]
pprint.pprint(BoW_corpus)
Output
[[(0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1), (6, 1)],
[(2, 1), (5, 1), (6, 1), (7, 1), (8, 1), (9, 1), (10, 1)],
[(11, 1), (12, 1), (13, 1), (14, 1), (15, 1)],
[(14, 1), (16, 1), (17, 1), (18, 1)],
[(14, 1), (16, 1), (19, 1), (20, 1), (21, 1), (22, 1), (23, 1), (24, 1)]]
What is Model?
Once we have vectorised the corpus, next what? Now, we can transform it using models.
Model may be referred to an algorithm used for transforming one document representation
to other.
As we have discussed, documents, in Gensim, are represented as vectors hence, we can,

though model as a transformation between two vector spaces. There is always a training
phase where models learn the details of such transformations. The model reads the
training corpus during training phase.
Initializing a model
13
Gensim
Let’s initialise tf-idf model. This model transforms vectors from the BoW (Bag of Words)
representation to another vector space where the frequency counts are weighted according
to the relative rarity of every word in corpus.
In the following example, we are going to initialise the tf-idf model. We will train it on our
corpus and then transform the string “trees graph”.
from gensim import models
tfidf = models.TfidfModel(BoW_corpus)
words = "trees graph".lower().split()
print(tfidf[dictionary.doc2bow(words)])
Output
[(3, 0.4869354917707381), (4, 0.8734379353188121)]
Now, once we created the model, we can transform the whole corpus via tfidf and index
it, and query the similarity of our query document (we are giving the query document
‘trees system’) against each document in the corpus:
from gensim import similarities
index = similarities.SparseMatrixSimilarity(tfidf[BoW_corpus],num_features=5)
query_document = 'trees system'.split()
query_bow = dictionary.doc2bow(query_document)
simils = index[tfidf[query_bow]]
print(list(enumerate(simils)))
Output
[(0, 0.0), (1, 0.0), (2, 1.0), (3, 0.4869355), (4, 0.4869355)]
From the above output, document 4 and document 5 has a similarity score of around 49%.
Moreover, we can also sort this output for more readability as follows:
14
Gensim
for doc_number, score in sorted(enumerate(sims), key=lambda x: x[1],

reverse=True):
print(doc_number, score)
Output
2 1.0
3 0.4869355
4 0.4869355
0 0.0
1 0.0

5. Gensim — Creating a Dictionary Gensim
In last chapter where we discussed about vector and model, you got an idea about the
dictionary. Here, we are going to discuss Dictionary object in a bit more detail.
What is Dictionary?
Before getting deep dive into the concept of dictionary, let’s understand some simple NLP
concepts:
 Token: A token means a ‘word’.

 Document: A document refers to a sentence or paragraph.
 Corpus: It refers to a collection of documents as a bag of words (BoW).
For all the documents, a corpus always contains each word’s token’s id along with its
frequency count in the document.
Let’s move to the concept of dictionary in Gensim. For working on text documents, Gensim
also requires the words, i.e. tokens to be converted to their unique ids. For achieving this,
it gives us the facility of Dictionary object, which maps each word to their unique integer
id. It does this by converting input text to the list of words and then pass it to the
corpora.Dictionary() object.
Need of Dictionary
Now the question arises that what is actually the need of dictionary object and where it
can be used? In Gensim, the dictionary object is used to create a bag of words (BoW)
corpus which further used as the input to topic modelling and other models as well.
Forms of text inputs

There are three different forms of input text, we can provide to Gensim:
 As the sentences stored in Python’s native list object (known as str in Python 3)
 As one single text file (can be small or large one)
 Multiple text files
Creating a Dictionary using Gensim

As discussed, in Gensim, the dictionary contains the mapping of all words, a.k.a tokens to
their unique integer id. We can create a dictionary from list of sentences, from one or more
than one text files (text file containing multiple lines of text). So, first let’s start by creating
dictionary using list of sentences.
16
Gensim
From a list of sentences

In the following example we will be creating dictionary from a list of sentences. When we
have list of sentences or you can say multiple sentences, we must convert every sentence
to a list of words and comprehensions is one of the very common ways to do this.
First, import the required and necessary packages as follows:
import gensim
from pprint import pprint
Next, make the comprehension list from list of sentences/document to use it creating the
dictionary:
doc = ["CNTK formerly known as Computational Network Toolkit",

"is a free easy-to-use open-source commercial-grade toolkit",
"that enable us to train deep learning algorithms to learn like
the human brain."]
Next, we need to split the sentences into words. It is called tokenisation.
text_tokens = [[text for text in doc.split()] for doc in doc]
Now, with the help of following script, we can create the dictionary:
dict_LoS = corpora.Dictionary(text_tokens)
Now let’s get some more information like number of tokens in the dictionary:
print(dict_LoS)
Output
Dictionary(27 unique tokens: ['CNTK', 'Computational', 'Network', 'Toolkit',

'as']...)
We can also see the word to unique integer mapping as follows:
print(dict_LoS.token2id)
Output

Gensim
Complete implementation example

import gensim
doc = ["CNTK formerly known as Computational Network Toolkit",

"is a free easy-to-use open-source commercial-grade toolkit",
"that enable us to train deep learning algorithms to learn like the
human brain."]
text_tokens = [[text for text in doc.split()] for doc in doc]
dict_LoS = corpora.Dictionary(text_tokens)
print(dict_LoS.token2id)
From single text file

In the following example we will be creating dictionary from a single text file. In the similar
fashion, we can also create dictionary from more than one text files (i.e. directory of files).
For this, we have saved the document, used in previous example, in the text file named
doc.txt. Gensim will read the file line by line and process one line at a time by using
simple_preprocess. In this way, it doesn’t need to load the complete file in memory all
at once.
import gensim
from gensim.utils import simple_preprocess
from smart_open import smart_open
import os
18
Gensim
Next line of codes will make gensim dictionary by using the single text file named doc.txt:
dict_STF = corpora.Dictionary(simple_preprocess(line, deacc =True) for line in

open(‘doc.txt’, encoding=’utf-8’))
Now let’s get some more information like number of tokens in the dictionary:
print(dict_STF)
Output

'as']...)
We can also see the word to unique integer mapping as follows:
print(dict_STF.token2id)
Output


import gensim
import os
dict_STF = corpora.Dictionary(simple_preprocess(line, deacc =True) for line in

open(‘doc.txt’, encoding=’utf-8’))
dict_STF = corpora.Dictionary(text_tokens)
19
Gensim
print(dict_STF.token2id)
From multiple text files

Now let’s create dictionary from multiple files, i.e. more than one text file saved in the
same directory. For this example, we have created three different text files namely
first.txt, second.txt and third.txt containing the three lines from text file (doc.txt), we
used for previous example. All these three text files are saved under a directory named
ABC.
In order to implement this, we need to define a class with a method that can iterate
through all the three text files (First, Second, and Third.txt) in the directory (ABC) and
yield the processed list of words tokens.
Let’s define the class named Read_files having a method named __iteration__() as
follows:
class Read_files(object):
def __init__(self, directoryname):
self.directoryname = directoryname
def __iter__(self):
for fname in os.listdir(self.directoryname):
for line in open(os.path.join(self.directoryname, fname),
encoding='latin'):
yield simple_preprocess(line)
Next, we need to provide the path of the directory as follows:
path = "ABC"
#provide the path as per your computer system where you saved the directory.
Next steps are similar as we did in previous examples. Next line of codes will make Gensim
directory by using the directory having three text files:
dict_MUL = corpora.Dictionary(Read_files(path))
Output

'as']...)
Now we can also see the word to unique integer mapping as follows:
print(dict_MUL.token2id)
20
Gensim
Output

Saving and loading a gensim dictionary

Gensim support their own native save() method to save dictionary to the disk and load()
method to load back dictionary from the disk.
For example, we can save the dictionary with the help of following script:
Gensim.corpora.dictionary.save(filename)
#provide the path where you want to save the dictionary.
Similarly, we can load the saved dictionary by using the load() method. Following script
can do this:
Gensim.corpora.dictionary.load(filename)
#provide the path where you have saved the dictionary.

6. Gensim — Creating a bag of words (BoW) Gensim
Corpus
We have understood how to create dictionary from a list of documents and from text files
(from one as well as from more than one). Now, in this section, we will create a bag-of-
words (BoW) corpus. In order to work with Gensim, it is one of the most important objects
we need to familiarise with. Basically, it is the corpus that contains the word id and its
frequency in each document.
Creating a BoW corpus

As discussed, in Gensim, the corpus contains the word id and its frequency in every
document. We can create a BoW corpus from a simple list of documents and from text
files. What we need to do is, to pass the tokenised list of words to the object named
Dictionary.doc2bow(). So first, let’s start by creating BoW corpus using a simple list of
documents.
From a simple list of sentences

In the following example, we will create BoW corpus from a simple list containing three
sentences.
First, we need to import all the necessary packages as follows:
import gensim
import pprint
Now provide the list containing sentences. We have three sentences in our list:
doc_list = ["Hello, how are you?", "How do you do?", "Hey what are you doing?
yes you What are you doing?"]
Next, do tokenisation of the sentences as follows:
doc_tokenized = [simple_preprocess(doc) for doc in doc_list]
Create an object of corpora.Dictionary() as follows:
dictionary = corpora.Dictionary()
Now pass these tokenised sentences to dictionary.doc2bow() object as follows:
BoW_corpus = [dictionary.doc2bow(doc, allow_update=True) for doc in

doc_tokenized]
At last we can print Bag of word corpus:

22
Gensim
print(BoW_corpus)
Output
[[(0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1)], [(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 2)], [(0, 2), (3, 3),
(5, 2), (6, 1), (7, 2), (8, 1)]]
The above output shows that the word with id=0 appears once in the first document
(because we have got (0,1) in the output) and so on.
The above output is somehow not possible for humans to read. We can also convert these
ids to words but for this we need our dictionary to do the conversion as follows:
id_words = [[(dictionary[id], count) for id, count in line] for line in

BoW_corpus]
print(id_words)
Output
[[('are', 1), ('hello', 1), ('how', 1), ('you', 1)], [('how', 1), ('you', 1),
('do', 2)], [('are', 2), ('you', 3), ('doing', 2), ('hey', 1), ('what', 2),
('yes', 1)]]
Now the above output is somehow human readable.

import gensim
import pprint
doc_tokenized]
print(BoW_corpus)
id_words = [[(dictionary[id], count) for id, count in line] for line in
BoW_corpus]
print(id_words)
23
Gensim
From a text file

In the following example, we will be creating BoW corpus from a text file. For this, we
have saved the document, used in previous example, in the text file named doc.txt.
Gensim will read the file line by line and process one line at a time by using
simple_preprocess. In this way, it doesn’t need to load the complete file in memory all
at once.
import gensim
import os
Next, the following line of codes will make read the documents from doc.txt and tokenised
it:
doc_tokenized = [simple_preprocess(line, deacc =True) for line in

open(‘doc.txt’, encoding=’utf-8’)]
Now we need to pass these tokenized words into dictionary.doc2bow() object(as did in
the previous example)

doc_tokenized]
print(BoW_corpus)
Output
[[(9, 1), (10, 1), (11, 1), (12, 1), (13, 1), (14, 1), (15, 1)], [(15, 1), (16,
1), (17, 1), (18, 1), (19, 1), (20, 1), (21, 1), (22, 1), (23, 1), (24, 1)],
[(23, 2), (25, 1), (26, 1), (27, 1), (28, 1), (29, 1), (30, 1), (31, 1), (32,
1), (33, 1), (34, 1), (35, 1), (36, 1)], [(3, 1), (18, 1), (37, 1), (38, 1),
(39, 1), (40, 1), (41, 1), (42, 1), (43, 1)], [(18, 1), (27, 1), (31, 2), (32,
1), (38, 1), (41, 1), (43, 1), (44, 1), (45, 1), (46, 1), (47, 1), (48, 1),
(49, 1), (50, 1), (51, 1), (52, 1)]]
The doc.txt file have the following content:

human brain.

Saving and loading a gensim corpus

We can save the corpus with the help of following script:
corpora.MmCorpus.serialize(‘/Users/Desktop/BoW_corpus.mm’, bow_corpus)
#provide the path and the name of the corpus. The name of corpus is
BoW_corpus and we saved it in Matrix Market format.
Similarly, we can load the saved corpus by using the following script:
corpus_load = corpora.MmCorpus(‘/Users/Desktop/BoW_corpus.mm’)
for line in corpus_load:
print(line)

7. Gensim — Transformations Gensim
This chapter will help you in learning about the various transformations in Gensim. Let us
begin by understanding the transforming documents.
Transforming documents
Transforming documents means to represent the document in such a way that the
document can be manipulated mathematically. Apart from deducing the latent structure
of the corpus, transforming documents will also serve the following goals:
 It discovers the relationship between words.

 It brings out the hidden structure in the corpus.
 It describes the documents in a new and more semantic way.
 It makes the representation of the documents more compact.
 It improves efficiency because new representation consumes less resources.
 It improves efficacy because in new representation marginal data trends are
ignored.
 The noise is also reduced in new document representation.
Let’s see the implementation steps for transforming the documents from one vector space
representation to another.
Implementation steps
In order to transform documents, we must follow the following steps:
Step 1: Creating the Corpus

The very first and basic step is to create the corpus from the documents. We have already
created the corpus in previous examples. Let’s create another one with some
enhancements (removing common words and the words that appear only once):
First import the necessary packages as follows:
import gensim
import pprint
from collections import defaultdict
Now provide the documents for creating the corpus:
t_corpus = ["CNTK formerly known as Computational Network Toolkit", "is a free easy-to-
use open-source commercial-grade toolkit", "that enable us to train deep learning
algorithms to learn like the human brain.", "You can find its free tutorial on
26
Gensim
tutorialspoint.com", "Tutorialspoint.com also provide best technical tutorials on

technologies like AI deep learning machine learning for free"]
Next, we need to do tokenise and along with it we will remove the common words also:

stoplist]
Following script will remove those words that appear only:
frequency = defaultdict(int)
for text in processed_corpus:
for token in text:
frequency[token] += 1
processed_corpus = [[token for token in text if frequency[token] > 1] for
text in processed_corpus]
Output
[['toolkit'],
['free', 'toolkit'],
['deep', 'learning', 'like'],
['free', 'on', 'tutorialspoint.com'],
['tutorialspoint.com', 'on', 'like', 'deep', 'learning', 'learning', 'free']]
Now pass it to the corpora.dictionary() object to get the unique objects in our corpus:
print(dictionary)
Output
Dictionary(7 unique tokens: ['toolkit', 'free', 'deep', 'learning', 'like']...)
Next, the following line of codes will create the Bag of Word model for our corpus:

Output
[[(0, 1)],
27
Gensim
[(0, 1), (1, 1)],

[(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1)],
[(1, 1), (5, 1), (6, 1)],
[(1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (5, 1), (6, 1)]]
Step 2: Creating a transformation

The transformations are some standard Python objects. We can initialize these
transformations i.e. Python objects by using a trained corpus. Here we are going to use
tf-idf model to create a transformation of our trained corpus i.e. BoW_corpus.
First, we need to import the models package from gensim
Now, we need to initialise the model as follows:
Step 3: Transforming vectors

Now, in this last step, the vectors will be converted from old representation to new
representation. As we have initialised the tfidf model in above step, the tfidf will now be
treated as a read only object. Here, by using this tfidf object we will convert our vector
from bag of word representation (old representation) to Tfidf real-valued weights (new
representation).
doc_BoW = [(1,1),(3,1)]
print(tfidf[doc_BoW])
Output
[(1, 0.4869354917707381), (3, 0.8734379353188121)]
We applied the transformation on two values of corpus, but we can also apply it to the
whole corpus as follows:
corpus_tfidf = tfidf[BoW_corpus]
for doc in corpus_tfidf:
print(doc)
Output
[(0, 1.0)]
28
Gensim
[(0, 0.8734379353188121), (1, 0.4869354917707381)]

[(2, 0.5773502691896257), (3, 0.5773502691896257), (4, 0.5773502691896257)]
[(1, 0.3667400603126873), (5, 0.657838022678017), (6, 0.657838022678017)]
[(1, 0.19338287240886842), (2, 0.34687949360312714), (3, 0.6937589872062543),
(4, 0.34687949360312714), (5, 0.34687949360312714), (6, 0.34687949360312714)]

import gensim
import pprint
from collections import defaultdict
t_corpus = ["CNTK formerly known as Computational Network Toolkit", "is a free
easy-to-use open-source commercial-grade toolkit", "that enable us to train
deep learning algorithms to learn like the human brain.", "You can find its
free tutorial on tutorialspoint.com", "Tutorialspoint.com also provide best
technical tutorials on technologies like AI deep learning machine learning for
free"]
stoplist]
frequency = defaultdict(int)
for text in processed_corpus:
for token in text:
frequency[token] += 1
processed_corpus = [[token for token in text if frequency[token] > 1] for
text in processed_corpus]
print(dictionary)
doc_BoW = [(1,1),(3,1)]
29
Gensim
print(tfidf[doc_BoW])
corpus_tfidf = tfidf[BoW_corpus]
for doc in corpus_tfidf:
print(doc)
Various transformations in Gensim

Using Gensim, we can implement various popular transformations, i.e. Vector Space Model
algorithms. Some of them are as follows:
Tf-Idf(Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency)

During initialisation, this tf-idf model algorithm expects a training corpus having integer
values (such as Bag-of-Words model). Then after that, at the time of transformation, it
takes a vector representation and returns another vector representation.
The output vector will have the same dimensionality but the value of the rare features (at
the time of training) will be increased. It basically converts integer-valued vectors into
real-valued vectors. Following is the syntax of Tf-idf transformation:
Model=models.TfidfModel(corpus, normalize=True)
LSI(Latent Semantic Indexing)

LSI model algorithm can transform document from either integer valued vector model
(such as Bag-of-Words model) or Tf-Idf weighted space into latent space. The output
vector will be of lower dimensionality. Following is the syntax of LSI transformation:
Model=models.LsiModel(tfidf_corpus, id2word=dictionary, num_topics=300)
LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation)

LDA model algorithm is another algorithm that transforms document from Bag-of-Words
model space into a topic space. The output vector will be of lower dimensionality. Following
is the syntax of LSI transformation:
Model=models.LdaModel(corpus, id2word=dictionary, num_topics=100)
Random Projections (RP)
30
Gensim
RP, a very efficient approach, aims to reduce the dimensionality of vector space. This
approach is basically approximate the Tf-Idf distances between the documents. It does
this by throwing in a little randomness.
Model=models.RpModel(tfidf_corpus, num_topics=500)
Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP)

HDP is a non-parametric Bayesian method which is a new addition to Gensim. We should
have to take care while using it.
Model=models.HdpModel(corpus, id2word=dictionary
31
8. Gensim — Creating TF-IDF Matrix Gensim
Here, we will learn about creating Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF)
Matrix with the help of Gensim.
What is TF-IDF?
It is the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency model which is also a bag-of-words
model. It is different from the regular corpus because it down weights the tokens i.e.
words appearing frequently across documents. During initialisation, this tf-idf model
algorithm expects a training corpus having integer values (such as Bag-of-Words model).
Then after that at the time of transformation, it takes a vector representation and returns
another vector representation. The output vector will have the same dimensionality but
the value of the rare features (at the time of training) will be increased. It basically
converts integer-valued vectors into real-valued vectors.
How it is computed?
TF-IDF model computes tfidf with the help of following two simple steps:
Step 1: Multiplying local and global component

In this first step, the model will multiply a local component such as TF (Term Frequency)
with a global component such as IDF (Inverse Document Frequency).
Step 2: Normalise the result

Once done with multiplication, in the next step TFIDF model will normalize the result to
the unit length.
As a result of these above two steps frequently occurred words across the documents will
get down-weighted.
How to get TF-IDF weights?

Here, we will be going to implement an example to see how we can get TF-IDF weights.
Basically, in order to get TF-IDF weights, first we need to train the corpus and the then
apply that corpus within the tfidf model.
Train the Corpus

As said above to get the TF-IDF we first need to train our corpus. First, we need to import
all the necessary packages as follows:
import gensim
import pprint
32
Gensim
Now provide the list containing sentences. We have three sentences in our list:
Next, do tokenisation of the sentences as follows:
Create an object of corpora.Dictionary() as follows:
Now pass these tokenised sentences to dictionary.doc2bow() object as follows:

doc_tokenized]
Next, we will get the word ids and their frequencies in our documents.
for doc in BoW_corpus:

print([[dictionary[id], freq] for id, freq in doc])
Output
[['are', 1], ['hello', 1], ['how', 1], ['you', 1]]

[['how', 1], ['you', 1], ['do', 2]]
[['are', 2], ['you', 3], ['doing', 2], ['hey', 1], ['what', 2], ['yes', 1]]
In this way we have trained our corpus (Bag-of-Word corpus).
Next, we need to apply this trained corpus within the tfidf model models.TfidfModel().
First import the numpay package:
import numpy as np
Now applying our trained corpus(BoW_corpus) within the square brackets of

models.TfidfModel()
tfidf = models.TfidfModel(BoW_corpus, smartirs='ntc')
Next, we will get the word ids and their frequencies in our tfidf modeled corpus:
for doc in tfidf[BoW_corpus]:

print([[dictionary[id], np.around(freq,decomal=2)] for id, freq in doc])
Output
33
Gensim
[['are', 0.33], ['hello', 0.89], ['how', 0.33]]

[['how', 0.18], ['do', 0.98]]
[['are', 0.23], ['doing', 0.62], ['hey', 0.31], ['what', 0.62], ['yes', 0.31]]
[['are', 1], ['hello', 1], ['how', 1], ['you', 1]]

[['how', 1], ['you', 1], ['do', 2]]
[['are', 2], ['you', 3], ['doing', 2], ['hey', 1], ['what', 2], ['yes', 1]]
[['are', 0.33], ['hello', 0.89], ['how', 0.33]]

[['how', 0.18], ['do', 0.98]]
[['are', 0.23], ['doing', 0.62], ['hey', 0.31], ['what', 0.62], ['yes', 0.31]]
From the above outputs, we see the difference in the frequencies of the words in our
documents.

import gensim
import pprint
doc_tokenized]
for doc in BoW_corpus:
print([[dictionary[id], freq] for id, freq in doc])
import numpy as np
tfidf = models.TfidfModel(BoW_corpus, smartirs='ntc')
for doc in tfidf[BoW_corpus]:
print([[dictionary[id], np.around(freq,decomal=2)] for id, freq in doc])
34
Gensim
Difference in weight of words

As discussed above, the words that will occur more frequently in the document will get the
smaller weights. Let’s understand the difference in weights of words from the above two
outputs. The word ‘are’ occurs in two documents and have been weighted down. Similarly,
the word ‘you’ appearing in all the documents and removed altogether.
35
9. Gensim — Topic Modeling Gensim
This chapter deals with topic modeling with regards to Gensim.
To annotate our data and understand sentence structure, one of the best methods is to
use computational linguistic algorithms. No doubt, with the help of these computational
linguistic algorithms we can understand some finer details about our data but,
 Can we know what kind of words appear more often than others in our corpus?
 Can we group our data?
 Can we be underlying themes in our data?
We’d be able to achieve all these with the help of topic modeling. So let’s deep dive into
the concept of topic models.
What are Topic models?

A Topic model may be defined as the probabilistic model containing information about
topics in our text. But here, two important questions arise which are as follows:
First, what exactly a topic is?
Topic, as name implies, is underlying ideas or the themes represented in our text. To give
you an example, the corpus containing newspaper articles would have the topics related
to finance, weather, politics, sports, various states news and so on.
Second, what is the importance of topic models in text processing?
As we know that, in order to identify similarity in text, we can do information retrieval and
searching techniques by using words. But, with the help of topic models, now we can
search and arrange our text files using topics rather than words.
In this sense we can say that topics are the probabilistic distribution of words. That’s why,
by using topic models, we can describe our documents as the probabilistic distributions of
topics.
Goals of Topic models

As discussed above, the focus of topic modeling is about underlying ideas and themes. Its
main goals are as follows:
 Topic models can be used for text summarisation.

 They can be used to organise the documents. For example, we can use topic
modeling to group news articles together into an organised/ interconnected section
such as organising all the news articles related to cricket.
 They can improve search result. How? For a search query, we can use topic models
to reveal the document having a mix of different keywords, but are about same
idea.
36
Gensim
 The concept of recommendations is very useful for marketing. It’s used by various
online shopping websites, news websites and many more. Topic models helps in
making recommendations about what to buy, what to read next etc. They do it by
finding materials having a common topic in list.
Topic modeling algorithms in Gensim

Undoubtedly, Gensim is the most popular topic modeling toolkit. Its free availability and
being in Python make it more popular. In this section, we will be discussing some most
popular topic modeling algorithms. Here, we will focus on ‘what’ rather than ‘how’ because
Gensim abstract them very well for us.
Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is the most common and popular technique currently in
use for topic modeling. It is the one that the Facebook researchers used in their research
paper published in 2013. It was first proposed by David Blei, Andrew Ng, and Michael
Jordan in 2003. They proposed LDA in their paper that was entitled simply Latent
Dirichlet allocation.
Characteristics of LDA
Let’s know more about this wonderful technique through its characteristics:
Probabilistic topic modeling technique
LDA is a probabilistic topic modeling technique. As we discussed above, in topic modeling

we assume that in any collection of interrelated documents (could be academic papers,
newspaper articles, Facebook posts, Tweets, e-mails and so-on), there are some
combinations of topics included in each document.
The main goal of probabilistic topic modeling is to discover the hidden topic structure for
collection of interrelated documents. Following three things are generally included in a
topic structure:
 Topics
 Statistical distribution of topics among the documents
 Words across a document comprising the topic
Work in an unsupervised way
LDA works in an unsupervised way. It is because, LDA use conditional probabilities to

discover the hidden topic structure. It assumes that the topics are unevenly distributed
throughout the collection of interrelated documents.
Very easy to create it in Gensim
In Gensim, it is very easy to create LDA model. we just need to specify the corpus, the
dictionary mapping, and the number of topics we would like to use in our model.
Model=models.LdaModel(corpus, id2word=dictionary, num_topics=100)
37
Gensim
May face computationally intractable problem
Calculating the probability of every possible topic structure is a computational challenge

faced by LDA. It’s challenging because, it needs to calculate the probability of every
observed word under every possible topic structure. If we have large number of topics and
words, LDA may face computationally intractable problem.
Latent Semantic indexing (LSI)

The topic modeling algorithms that was first implemented in Gensim with Latent Dirichlet
Allocation (LDA) is Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). It is also called Latent Semantic
Analysis (LSA).
It got patented in 1988 by Scott Deerwester, Susan Dumais, George Furnas, Richard
Harshman, Thomas Landaur, Karen Lochbaum, and Lynn Streeter. In this section we are
going to set up our LSI model. It can be done in the same way of setting up LDA model.
we need to import LSI model from gensim.models.
Role of LSI
Actually, LSI is a technique NLP, especially in distributional semantics. It analyzes the
relationship in between a set of documents and the terms these documents contain. If we
talk about its working, then it constructs a matrix that contains word counts per document
from a large piece of text.
Once constructed, to reduce the number of rows, LSI model use a mathematical technique
called singular value decomposition (SVD). Along with reducing the number of rows, it also
preserves the similarity structure among columns. In matrix, the rows represent unique
words and the columns represent each document. It works based on distributional
hypothesis i.e. it assumes that the words that are close in meaning will occur in same kind
of text.
Model=models.LsiModel(corpus, id2word=dictionary, num_topics=100)
Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP)

Topic models such as LDA and LSI helps in summarizing and organize large archives of
texts that is not possible to analyze by hand. Apart from LDA and LSI, one other powerful
topic model in Gensim is HDP (Hierarchical Dirichlet Process). It’s basically a mixed-
membership model for unsupervised analysis of grouped data. Unlike LDA (its’s finite
counterpart), HDP infers the number of topics from the data.
Model=models.HdpModel(corpus, id2word=dictionary

10. Gensim — Creating LDA Topic Model Gensim
This chapter will help you learn how to create Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic model
in Gensim.
Automatically extracting information about topics from large volume of texts in one of the
primary applications of NLP (natural language processing). Large volume of texts could be
feeds from hotel reviews, tweets, Facebook posts, feeds from any other social media
channel, movie reviews, news stories, user feedbacks, e-mails etc.
In this digital era, to know what people/customers are talking about, to understand their
opinions, and their problems, can be highly valuable for businesses, political campaigns
and administrators. But, is it possible to manually read through such large volumes of text
and then extracting the information from topics?
No, it’s not. It requires an automatic algorithm that can read through these large volume
of text documents and automatically extract the required information/topics discussed
from it.
Role of LDA
LDA’s approach to topic modeling is to classify text in a document to a particular topic.
Modeled as Dirichlet distributions, LDA builds:
 A topic per document model and

 Words per topic model
After providing the LDA topic model algorithm, in order to obtain a good composition of
topic-keyword distribution, it re-arrange:
 The topics distributions within the document and

 Keywords distribution within the topics
While processing, some of the assumptions made by LDA are:
 Every document is modeled as multi-nominal distributions of topics.

 Every topic is modeled as multi-nominal distributions of words.
 We should have to choose the right corpus of data because LDA assumes that each
chunk of text contains the related words.
 LDA also assumes that the documents are produced from a mixture of topics.
Implementation with Gensim

Here, we are going to use LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) to extract the naturally
discussed topics from dataset.
Loading Data set

39
Gensim
The dataset which we are going to use is the dataset of ’20 Newsgroups’ having
thousands of news articles from various sections of a news report. It is available under
Sklearn data sets. We can easily download with the help of following Python script:
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups

newsgroups_train = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='train')
Let’s look at some of the sample news with the help of following script:
newsgroups_train.data[:4]

Prerequisite
We need Stopwords from NLTK and English model from Scapy. Both can be downloaded
as follows:
import nltk;
nltk.download('stopwords')
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_md', disable=['parser', 'ner'])
Importing necessary packages

In order to build LDA model we need to import following necessary package:
import re
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import gensim
import gensim.corpora as corpora
from gensim.models import CoherenceModel
import spacy
import pyLDAvis
import pyLDAvis.gensim
41
Gensim
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Preparing Stopwords
Now, we need to import the Stopwords and use them:
from nltk.corpus import stopwords

stop_words = stopwords.words('english')
stop_words.extend(['from', 'subject', 're', 'edu', 'use'])
Clean up the text

Now, with the help of Gensim’s simple_preprocess() we need to tokenise each sentence
into a list of words. We should also remove the punctuations and unnecessary characters.
In order to do this, we will create a function named sent_to_words():
def sent_to_words(sentences):
for sentence in sentences:
yield(gensim.utils.simple_preprocess(str(sentence), deacc=True))
data_words = list(sent_to_words(data))
Building Bigram & Trigram models

As we know that, bigrams are two words that are frequently occurring together in the
document and trigram are three words that are frequently occurring together in the
document. With the help of Gensim’s Phrases model, we can do this:
bigram = gensim.models.Phrases(data_words, min_count=5, threshold=100)

trigram = gensim.models.Phrases(bigram[data_words], threshold=100)
bigram_mod = gensim.models.phrases.Phraser(bigram)
trigram_mod = gensim.models.phrases.Phraser(trigram)
Filter out Stopwords

Next, we need to filter out the Stopwords. Along with that, we will also create functions to
make bigrams, trigrams and for lemmatisation:
def remove_stopwords(texts):
return [[word for word in simple_preprocess(str(doc)) if word not in
stop_words] for doc in texts]
def make_bigrams(texts):
return [bigram_mod[doc] for doc in texts]
def make_trigrams(texts):
return [trigram_mod[bigram_mod[doc]] for doc in texts]
def lemmatization(texts, allowed_postags=['NOUN', 'ADJ', 'VERB', 'ADV']):
42
Gensim
texts_out = []
for sent in texts:
doc = nlp(" ".join(sent))
texts_out.append([token.lemma_ for token in doc if token.pos_ in
allowed_postags])
return texts_out
Building Dictionary & Corpus for Topic model

We now need to build the dictionary & corpus. We did it in the previous examples as well:
id2word = corpora.Dictionary(data_lemmatized)
texts = data_lemmatized
corpus = [id2word.doc2bow(text) for text in texts]
Building LDA topic model

We already implemented everything that is required to train the LDA model. Now, it is the
time to build the LDA topic model. For our implementation example, it can be done with
the help of following line of codes:
lda_model = gensim.models.ldamodel.LdaModel(corpus=corpus,
id2word=id2word, num_topics=20, random_state=100, update_every=1,
chunksize=100, passes=10, alpha='auto', per_word_topics=True)
Let’s see the complete implementation example to build LDA topic model:
import re
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import gensim
import spacy
import pyLDAvis
import pyLDAvis.gensim
43
Gensim

data = newsgroups_train.data
data = [re.sub('\S*@\S*\s?', '', sent) for sent in data]
data = [re.sub('\s+', ' ', sent) for sent in data]
data = [re.sub("\'", "", sent) for sent in data]
print(data_words[:4]) #it will print the data after prepared for stopwords
texts_out = []
for sent in texts:
allowed_postags])
return texts_out
data_words_nostops = remove_stopwords(data_words)
data_words_bigrams = make_bigrams(data_words_nostops)
data_lemmatized = lemmatization(data_words_bigrams, allowed_postags=['NOUN',
'ADJ', 'VERB', 'ADV'])
print(data_lemmatized[:4]) #it will print the lemmatized data.
44
Gensim
print(corpus[:4]) #it will print the corpus we created above.
[[(id2word[id], freq) for id, freq in cp] for cp in corpus[:4]] #it will print
the words with their frequencies.
lda_model = gensim.models.ldamodel.LdaModel(corpus=corpus,
id2word=id2word, num_topics=20, random_state=100, update_every=1,
chunksize=100, passes=10, alpha='auto', per_word_topics=True)
We can now use the above created LDA model to get the topics, to compute Model
Perplexity.
45
11. Gensim — Using LDA Topic Model Gensim
In this chapter, we will understand how to use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic
model.
Viewing topics in LDA model

The LDA model (lda_model) we have created above can be used to view the topics from
the documents. It can be done with the help of following script:
pprint(lda_model.print_topics())
doc_lda = lda_model[corpus]

Computing Model Perplexity

The LDA model (lda_model) we have created above can be used to compute the model’s
perplexity, i.e. how good the model is. The lower the score the better the model will be.
It can be done with the help of following script:
print('\nPerplexity: ', lda_model.log_perplexity(corpus))
Output
Perplexity: -12.338664984332151
Computing Coherence score

The LDA model (lda_model) we have created above can be used to compute the model’s
coherence score i.e. the average /median of the pairwise word-similarity scores of the
words in the topic. It can be done with the help of following script:
48
Gensim
coherence_model_lda = CoherenceModel(model=lda_model, texts=data_lemmatized,

dictionary=id2word, coherence='c_v')
coherence_lda = coherence_model_lda.get_coherence()
print('\nCoherence Score: ', coherence_lda)
Output
Coherence Score: 0.510264381411751
Visualising the topics-keywords

The LDA model (lda_model) we have created above can be used to examine the produced
topics and the associated keywords. It can be visualised by using pyLDAvis package as
follows:
pyLDAvis.enable_notebook()
vis = pyLDAvis.gensim.prepare(lda_model, corpus, id2word)
vis
Output
49
Gensim
From the above output, the bubbles on the left-side represents a topic and larger the
bubble, the more prevalent is that topic. The topic model will be good if the topic model
has big, non-overlapping bubbles scattered throughout the chart.

12. Gensim — Creating LDA Mallet Model Gensim
This chapter will explain what is a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) Mallet Model and how
to create the same in Gensim.
In the previous section we have implemented LDA model and get the topics from
documents of 20Newsgroup dataset. That was Gensim’s inbuilt version of the LDA
algorithm. There is a Mallet version of Gensim also, which provides better quality of topics.
Here, we are going to apply Mallet’s LDA on the previous example we have already
implemented.
What is LDA Mallet Model?

Mallet, an open source toolkit, was written by Andrew McCullum. It is basically a Java
based package which is used for NLP, document classification, clustering, topic modeling,
and many other machine learning applications to text. It provides us the Mallet Topic
Modeling toolkit which contains efficient, sampling-based implementations of LDA as well
as Hierarchical LDA.
Mallet2.0 is the current release from MALLET, the java topic modeling toolkit. Before we
start using it with Gensim for LDA, we must download the mallet-2.0.8.zip package on our
system and unzip it. Once installed and unzipped, set the environment variable
%MALLET_HOME% to the point to the MALLET directory either manually or by the code
we will be providing, while implementing the LDA with Mallet next.
Gensim wrapper
Python provides Gensim wrapper for Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). The syntax of that
wrapper is gensim.models.wrappers.LdaMallet. This module, collapsed gibbs
sampling from MALLET, allows LDA model estimation from a training corpus and inference
of topic distribution on new, unseen documents as well.
We will be using LDA Mallet on previously built LDA model and will check the difference in
performance by calculating Coherence score.
Providing path to Mallet file

Before applying Mallet LDA model on our corpus built in previous example, we must have
to update the environment variables and provide the path the Mallet file as well. It can be
done with the help of following code:
import os
from gensim.models.wrappers import LdaMallet
os.environ.update({'MALLET_HOME':r'C:/mallet-2.0.8/'}) #You should update this
path as per the path of Mallet directory on your system.
51
Gensim
mallet_path = r'C:/mallet-2.0.8/bin/mallet' #You should update this path as per

the path of Mallet directory on your system.
Once we provided the path to Mallet file, we can now use it on the corpus. It can be done
with the help of ldamallet.show_topics() function as follows:
ldamallet = gensim.models.wrappers.LdaMallet(mallet_path, corpus=corpus,

num_topics=20, id2word=id2word)
pprint(ldamallet.show_topics(formatted=False))

Evaluating Performance
Now we can also evaluate its performance by calculating the coherence score as follows:
coherence_model_ldamallet = CoherenceModel(model=ldamallet,
texts=data_lemmatized, dictionary=id2word, coherence='c_v')
coherence_ldamallet = coherence_model_ldamallet.get_coherence()
print('\nCoherence Score: ', coherence_ldamallet)
Output
Coherence Score: 0.5842762900901401

13. Gensim — Documents & LDA Model Gensim
This chapter discusses the documents and LDA model in Gensim.
Finding optimal number of topics for LDA

We can find the optimal number of topics for LDA by creating many LDA models with
various values of topics. Among those LDAs we can pick one having highest coherence
value.
Following function named coherence_values_computation() will train multiple LDA

models. It will also provide the models as well as their corresponding coherence score:
def coherence_values_computation(dictionary, corpus, texts, limit, start=2,

step=3):
coherence_values = []
model_list = []
for num_topics in range(start, limit, step):
model = gensim.models.wrappers.LdaMallet(mallet_path, corpus=corpus,
num_topics=num_topics, id2word=id2word)
model_list.append(model)
coherencemodel = CoherenceModel(model=model, texts=texts,
dictionary=dictionary, coherence='c_v')
coherence_values.append(coherencemodel.get_coherence())
return model_list, coherence_values
Now with the help of following code, we can get the optimal number of topics which we
can show with the help of a graph as well:
model_list, coherence_values = coherence_values_computation

(dictionary=id2word, corpus=corpus, texts=data_lemmatized, start=1, limit=50,
step=8)
limit=50; start=1; step=8;
x = range(start, limit, step)
plt.plot(x, coherence_values)
plt.xlabel("Num Topics")
plt.ylabel("Coherence score")
plt.legend(("coherence_values"), loc='best')
plt.show()
56
Gensim
Output
Next, we can also print the coherence values for various topics as follows:
for m, cv in zip(x, coherence_values):

print("Num Topics =", m, " is having Coherence Value of", round(cv, 4))
Output
Num Topics = 1 is having Coherence Value of 0.4866
Now, the question arises which model should we pick now? One of the good practices is
to pick the model, that is giving highest coherence value before flattering out. So that’s
why, we will be choosing the model with 25 topics which is at number 4 in the above list.
optimal_model = model_list[3]
model_topics = optimal_model.show_topics(formatted=False)
pprint(optimal_model.print_topics(num_words=10))

Finding dominant topics in sentences

Finding dominant topics in sentences is one of the most useful practical applications of
topic modeling. It determines what topic a given document is about. Here, we will find
that topic number which has the highest percentage contribution in that particular
document. In order to aggregate the information in a table, we will be creating a function
named dominant_topics():
def dominant_topics(ldamodel=lda_model, corpus=corpus, texts=data):

sent_topics_df = pd.DataFrame()
Next, we will get the main topics in every document:
for i, row in enumerate(ldamodel[corpus]):

row = sorted(row, key=lambda x: (x[1]), reverse=True)
Next, we will get the Dominant topic, Perc Contribution and Keywords for every document:
for j, (topic_num, prop_topic) in enumerate(row):

if j == 0: # => dominant topic
wp = ldamodel.show_topic(topic_num)
topic_keywords = ", ".join([word for word, prop in wp])
sent_topics_df =
sent_topics_df.append(pd.Series([int(topic_num), round(prop_topic,4),
topic_keywords]), ignore_index=True)
else:
break
sent_topics_df.columns = ['Dominant_Topic', 'Perc_Contribution',
'Topic_Keywords']
With the help of following code, we will add the original text to the end of the output:
contents = pd.Series(texts)
sent_topics_df = pd.concat([sent_topics_df, contents], axis=1)
60
Gensim
return(sent_topics_df)
df_topic_sents_keywords = dominant_topics(ldamodel=optimal_model,
corpus=corpus, texts=data)
Now, do the formatting of topics in the sentences as follows:
df_dominant_topic = df_topic_sents_keywords.reset_index()
df_dominant_topic.columns = ['Document_No', 'Dominant_Topic',
'Topic_Perc_Contrib', 'Keywords', 'Text']
Finally, we can show the dominant topics as follows:
df_dominant_topic.head(15)
Output
Finding most representative document

In order to understand more about the topic, we can also find the documents, a given
topic has contributed to the most. We can infer that topic by reading that particular
document(s).
sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet = pd.DataFrame()
sent_topics_outdf_grpd = df_topic_sents_keywords.groupby('Dominant_Topic')
for i, grp in sent_topics_outdf_grpd:
sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet = pd.concat([sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet,
61
Gensim
grp.sort_values(['Perc_Contribution'], ascending=[0]).head(1)],
axis=0)
sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet.reset_index(drop=True, inplace=True)
sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet.columns = ['Topic_Number', "Contribution_Perc",
"Keywords", "Text"]
sent_topics_sorteddf_mallet.head()
Output
Volume & distribution of topics

Sometimes we also want to judge how widely the topic is discussed in documents. For this
we need to understand the volume and distribution of topics across the documents.
First calculate the number of documents for every Topic as follows:
topic_counts = df_topic_sents_keywords['Dominant_Topic'].value_counts()
Next, calculate the percentage of Documents for every Topic as follows:
topic_contribution = round(topic_counts/topic_counts.sum(), 4)
Now find the topic Number and Keywords as follows:
topic_num_keywords = df_topic_sents_keywords[['Dominant_Topic',
'Topic_Keywords']]
Now, concatenate then Column wise as follows:
df_dominant_topics = pd.concat([topic_num_keywords, topic_counts,

topic_contribution], axis=1)
Next, we will change the Column names as follows:
62
Gensim
df_dominant_topics.columns = ['Dominant-Topic', 'Topic-Keywords',

'Num_Documents', 'Perc_Documents']
df_dominant_topics
Output

14. Gensim — Creating LSI & HDP Topic Model Gensim
This chapter deals with creating Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and Hierarchical Dirichlet
Process (HDP) topic model with regards to Gensim.
The topic modeling algorithms that was first implemented in Gensim with Latent Dirichlet
Allocation (LDA) is Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). It is also called Latent Semantic
Analysis (LSA). It got patented in 1988 by Scott Deerwester, Susan Dumais, George
Furnas, Richard Harshman, Thomas Landaur, Karen Lochbaum, and Lynn Streeter.
In this section we are going to set up our LSI model. It can be done in the same way of
setting up LDA model. we need to import LSI model from gensim.models.
Role of LSI
Actually, LSI is a technique NLP, especially in distributional semantics. It analyses the
relationship between a set of documents and the terms these documents contain. If we
talk about its working, then it constructs a matrix that contains word counts per document
from a large piece of text.
Once constructed, to reduce the number of rows, LSI model use a mathematical technique
called singular value decomposition (SVD). Along with reducing the number of rows, it also
preserves the similarity structure among columns.
In matrix, the rows represent unique words and the columns represent each document. It
works based on distributional hypothesis, i.e. it assumes that the words that are close in
meaning will occur in same kind of text.

Here, we are going to use LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) to extract the naturally
discussed topics from dataset.
Loading Data set

The dataset which we are going to use is the dataset of ’20 Newsgroups’ having
thousands of news articles from various sections of a news report. It is available under
Sklearn data sets. We can easily download with the help of following Python script:

Let’s look at some of the sample news with the help of following script:

Prerequisite
We need Stopwords from NLTK and English model from Scapy. Both can be downloaded
as follows:
import nltk;
nltk.download('stopwords')
Importing necessary packages

In order to build LSI model we need to import following necessary package:
import re
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import gensim
import spacy
Preparing Stopwords
Now we need to import the Stopwords and use them:

Clean up the text

Now, with the help of Gensim’s simple_preprocess() we need to tokenise each sentence
into a list of words. We should also remove the punctuations and unnecessary characters.
In order to do this, we will create a function named sent_to_words():
def sent_to_words(sentences):
66
Gensim
for sentence in sentences:

yield(gensim.utils.simple_preprocess(str(sentence), deacc=True))
data_words = list(sent_to_words(data))
Building Bigram & Trigram models

As we know that bigrams are two words that are frequently occurring together in the
document and trigram are three words that are frequently occurring together in the
document. With the help of Gensim’s Phrases model, we can do this:

Filter out Stopwords

Next, we need to filter out the Stopwords. Along with that, we will also create functions to
make bigrams, trigrams and for lemmatisation:
texts_out = []
for sent in texts:
allowed_postags])
return texts_out
Building Dictionary & Corpus for Topic Model

We now need to build the dictionary & corpus. We did it in the previous examples as well:
67
Gensim
Building LSI topic Model

We already implemented everything that is required to train the LSI model. Now, it is the
time to build the LSI topic model. For our implementation example, it can be done with
the help of following line of codes:
lsi_model = gensim.models.lsimodel.LsiModel(corpus=corpus,
id2word=id2word, num_topics=20,chunksize=100)
Let’s see the complete implementation example to build LDA topic model:
import re
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import gensim
import spacy
data = newsgroups_train.data
data = [re.sub('\S*@\S*\s?', '', sent) for sent in data]
data = [re.sub('\s+', ' ', sent) for sent in data]
data = [re.sub("\'", "", sent) for sent in data]
print(data_words[:4]) #it will print the data after prepared for stopwords
68
Gensim

texts_out = []
for sent in texts:
allowed_postags])
return texts_out
data_words_nostops = remove_stopwords(data_words)
data_words_bigrams = make_bigrams(data_words_nostops)
data_lemmatized = lemmatization(data_words_bigrams, allowed_postags=['NOUN',
'ADJ', 'VERB', 'ADV'])
print(data_lemmatized[:4]) #it will print the lemmatized data.
print(corpus[:4]) #it will print the corpus we created above.
[[(id2word[id], freq) for id, freq in cp] for cp in corpus[:4]] #it will print
the words with their frequencies.
lsi_model = gensim.models.lsimodel.LsiModel(corpus=corpus,
id2word=id2word, num_topics=20,chunksize=100)
We can now use the above created LSI model to get the topics.
Viewing topics in LSI model

The LSI model (lsi_model) we have created above can be used to view the topics from
the documents. It can be done with the help of following script:
pprint(lsi_model.print_topics())
doc_lsi = lsi_model[corpus]
Output

Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HPD)

Topic models such as LDA and LSI helps in summarising and organising large archives of
texts that is not possible to analyse by hand. Apart from LDA and LSI, one other powerful
topic model in Gensim is HDP (Hierarchical Dirichlet Process). It’s basically a mixed-
membership model for unsupervised analysis of grouped data. Unlike LDA (its’s finite
counterpart), HDP infers the number of topics from the data.

For implementing HDP in Gensim, we need to train corpus and dictionary (as did in the
above examples while implementing LDA and LSI topic models) HDP topic model that we
can import from gensim.models.HdpModel. Here also we will implement HDP topic model
on 20Newsgroup data and the steps are also same.
For our corpus and dictionary (created in above examples for LSI and LDA model), we can
import HdpModel as follows:
Hdp_model = gensim.models.hdpmodel.HdpModel(corpus=corpus,
id2word=id2word)
Viewing topics in LSI model

The HDP model (Hdp_model) can be used to view the topics from the documents. It can
be done with the help of following script:
pprint(Hdp_model.print_topics())

15. Gensim — Developing Word Embedding Gensim
The chapter will help us understand developing word embedding in Gensim.
Word embedding, approach to represent words & document, is a dense vector

representation for text where words having the same meaning have a similar
representation. Following are some characteristics of word embedding:
 It is a class of technique which represents the individual words as real-valued

vectors in a pre-defined vector space.
 This technique is often lumped into the field of DL (deep learning) because every
word is mapped to one vector and the vector values are learned in the same way
a NN (Neural Networks) does.
 The key approach of word embedding technique is a dense distributed
representation for every word.
Different word embedding methods/algorithms

As discussed above, word embedding methods/algorithms learn a real-valued vector
representation from a corpus of text. This learning process can either use with the NN
model on task like document classification or is an unsupervised process such as document
statistics. Here we are going to discuss two methods/algorithm that can be used to learn
a word embedding from text:
Word2Vec by Google
Word2Vec, developed by Tomas Mikolov, et. al. at Google in 2013, is a statistical method
for efficiently learning a word embedding from text corpus. It’s actually developed as a
response to make NN based training of word embedding more efficient. It has become the
de facto standard for word embedding.
Word embedding by Word2Vec involves analysis of the learned vectors as well as

exploration of vector math on representation of words. Following are the two different
learning methods which can be used as the part of Word2Vec method:
 CBoW(Continuous Bag of Words) Model

 Continuous Skip-Gram Model
GloVe by Standford
GloVe(Global vectors for Word Representation), is an extension to the Word2Vec method.
It was developed by Pennington et al. at Stanford. GloVe algorithm is a mix of both:
 Global statistics of matrix factorization techniques like LSA (Latent Semantic

Analysis)
 Local context-based learning in Word2Vec.
73
Gensim
If we talk about its working then instead of using a window to define local context, GloVe
constructs an explicit word co-occurrence matrix using statistics across the whole text
corpus.
Developing Word2Vec embedding

Here, we will develop Word2Vec embedding by using Gensim. In order to work with a
Word2Vec model, Gensim provides us Word2Vec class which can be imported from
models.word2vec. For its implementation, word2vec requires a lot of text e.g. the entire
Amazon review corpus. But here, we will apply this principle on small-in memory text.
Implementation example
First we need to import the Word2Vec class from gensim.models as follows:
from gensim.models import Word2Vec
Next, we need to define the training data. Rather than taking big text file, we are using
some sentences to implement this principal.
sentences = [['this', 'is', 'gensim', 'tutorial', 'for', 'free'],

['this', 'is', 'the', 'tutorials' 'point', 'website'],
['you', 'can', 'read', 'technical','tutorials',
'for','free'],
['we', 'are', 'implementing','word2vec'],
['learn', 'full', 'gensim', 'tutorial']]
Once the training data is provided, we need to train the model. it can be done as follows:
model = Word2Vec(sentences, min_count=1)
We can summarise the model as follows:
print(model)
We can summarise the vocabulary as follows:
words = list(model.wv.vocab)
print(words)
Next, let’s access the vector for one word. We are doing it for the word ‘tutorial’.
print(model['tutorial'])
Next, we need to save the model:
model.save('model.bin')
Next, we need to load the model:
74
Gensim
new_model = Word2Vec.load('model.bin')
Finally, print the saved model as follows:
print(new_model)

'for','free'],
print(model)
print(words)
print(model['tutorial'])
model.save('model.bin')
new_model = Word2Vec.load('model.bin')
print(new_model)
Output
Word2Vec(vocab=20, size=100, alpha=0.025)
['this', 'is', 'gensim', 'tutorial', 'for', 'free', 'the', 'tutorialspoint',
'website', 'you', 'can', 'read', 'technical', 'tutorials', 'we', 'are',
'implementing', 'word2vec', 'learn', 'full']

Word2Vec(vocab=20, size=100, alpha=0.025)
Visualising word embedding

We can also explore the word embedding with visualisation. It can be done by using a
classical projection method (like PCA) to reduce the high-dimensional word vectors to 2-
D plots. Once reduced, we can then plot them on graph.
Plotting word vectors using PCA

First, we need to retrieve all the vectors from a trained model as follows:
Z = model[model.wv.vocab]
Next, we need to create a 2-D PCA model of word vectors by using PCA class as follows:
pca = PCA(n_components=2)
result = pca.fit_transform(Z)
Now, we can plot the resulting projection by using the matplotlib as follows:
Pyplot.scatter(result[:,0],result[:,1])
We can also annotate the points on the graph with the words itself. Plot the resulting
projection by using the matplotlib as follows:
for i, word in enumerate(words):
76
Gensim
pyplot.annotate(word, xy=(result[i, 0], result[i, 1]))

from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
from matplotlib import pyplot
'for','free'],
X = model[model.wv.vocab]
pca = PCA(n_components=2)
result = pca.fit_transform(X)
pyplot.scatter(result[:, 0], result[:, 1])
for i, word in enumerate(words):
pyplot.annotate(word, xy=(result[i, 0], result[i, 1]))
pyplot.show()
Output
77
Gensim

16. Gensim — Doc2Vec Model Gensim
Doc2Vec model, as opposite to Word2Vec model, is used to create a vectorised

representation of a group of words taken collectively as a single unit. It doesn’t only give
the simple average of the words in the sentence.
Creating document vectors using Doc2Vec

Here to create document vectors using Doc2Vec, we will be using text8 dataset which can
be downloaded from gensim.downloader.
Downloading the dataset

We can download the text8 dataset by using the following commands:
import gensim
import gensim.downloader as api
dataset = api.load("text8")
data = [d for d in dataset]
It will take some time to download the text8 dataset.
Train the Doc2Vec

In order to train the model, we need the tagged document which can be created by using
models.doc2vec.TaggedDcument() as follows:
def tagged_document(list_of_list_of_words):
for i, list_of_words in enumerate(list_of_list_of_words):
yield gensim.models.doc2vec.TaggedDocument(list_of_words, [i])
data_for_training = list(tagged_document(data))
We can print the trained dataset as follows:
print(data_for_training [:1])
Output
[TaggedDocument(words=['anarchism', 'originated', 'as', 'a', 'term', 'of',
'abuse', 'first', 'used', 'against', 'early', 'working', 'class', 'radicals',

Initialise the model

Once trained we now need to initialise the model. it can be done as follows:
model = gensim.models.doc2vec.Doc2Vec(vector_size=40, min_count=2, epochs=30)
80
Gensim
Now, build the vocabulary as follows:
model.build_vocab(data_for_training)
Now, let’s train the Doc2Vec model as follows:
model.train(data_for_training, total_examples=model.corpus_count,
epochs=model.epochs)
Analysing the output

Finally, we can analyse the output by using model.infer_vector() as follows:
print(model.infer_vector(['violent', 'means', 'to', 'destroy',

'the','organization']))

import gensim
import gensim.downloader as api
dataset = api.load("text8")
data = [d for d in dataset]
