plot a document tfidf 2D graph

Question

I would like to plot a 2d graph with the x-axis as term and y-axis as TFIDF score (or document id) for my list of sentences. I used scikit learn\'s fit_transform() to get th

Answer 1

Just assign a variable to the labels and use that to denote color. ex km = Kmeans().fit(X) clusters = km.labels_.tolist() then c=clusters

Answer 2

When you use Bag of Words, each of your sentences gets represented in a high dimensional space of length equal to the vocabulary. If you want to represent this in 2D you need to reduce the dimension, for example using PCA with two components:

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer, TfidfTransformer
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

newsgroups_train = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='train', 
                                      categories=['alt.atheism', 'sci.space'])
pipeline = Pipeline([
    ('vect', CountVectorizer()),
    ('tfidf', TfidfTransformer()),
])        
X = pipeline.fit_transform(newsgroups_train.data).todense()

pca = PCA(n_components=2).fit(X)
data2D = pca.transform(X)
plt.scatter(data2D[:,0], data2D[:,1], c=data.target)
plt.show()              #not required if using ipython notebook

Now you can for example calculate and plot the cluster enters on this data:

from sklearn.cluster import KMeans

kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=2).fit(X)
centers2D = pca.transform(kmeans.cluster_centers_)

plt.hold(True)
plt.scatter(centers2D[:,0], centers2D[:,1], 
            marker='x', s=200, linewidths=3, c='r')
plt.show()              #not required if using ipython notebook
