Remove uni-grams from a list of bi-grams

Question

I have managed to create 2 lists from text documents. The first is my bi-gram list:

keywords = [\'nike shoes\',\'nike clothing\', \'nike black\', \'nike white\']         


        

Answer 1

assuming you have the 2 lists this will do what you want:

new_keywords = []

for k in keywords:
    temp = False

    for s in stops:
        if s in k:
           new_keywords.append(k.replace(s,""))
           temp = True

    if temp == False:
        new_keywords.append(k)

This will create a list like you posted:

['nike shoes', 'nike ', 'nike ', 'nike ']

To eliminate the doubles do this:

new_keywords = list(set(new_keywords))

So the final list looks like this:

['nike shoes', 'nike ']
