Steps for The Challenge

First, importing the mandatory libraries.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from IPython.show import show
from tqdm import tqdm
from collections import Counter

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

from sklearn.feature_extraction.textual content import CountVectorizer
from textblob import TextBlob
import scipy.stats as stats

from sklearn.decomposition import LatentDirichletAllocation
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
from wordcloud import WordCloud, STOPWORDS

from bokeh.plotting import determine, output_file, present
from bokeh.fashions import Label
from bokeh.io import output_notebook
output_notebook()

%matplotlib inline

Loading the csv format knowledge in dataframe whereas parsing the dates in usable format.

path="/content material/drive/MyDrive/topic_modeling/abcnews-date-text.csv" #path of your dataset
df = pd.read_csv(path, parse_dates=[0], infer_datetime_format=True)

reindexed_data = df['headline_text']
reindexed_data.index = df['publish_date']

Seeing a glimpse of the loaded knowledge by means of first 5 rows.

df.head()

There are 2 columns named publish_date and headline_text as talked about above within the dataset description.

df.information() #normal description of information

We are able to see that there are 12,44,184 rows within the dataset with no null values.

Now, utilizing 100,000 rows of the information for comfort and feasibility for utilizing LDA mannequin

Exploratory Knowledge Evaluation

Beginning with visualizing the highest 15 phrases within the knowledge with out together with stopwords.

def get_top_n_words(n_top_words, count_vectorizer, text_data):
    '''
    returns a tuple of the highest n phrases in a pattern and their 
    accompanying counts, given a CountVectorizer object and textual content pattern
    '''
    vectorized_headlines = count_vectorizer.fit_transform(text_data.values)
    vectorized_total = np.sum(vectorized_headlines, axis=0)
    word_indices = np.flip(np.argsort(vectorized_total)[0,:], 1)
    word_values = np.flip(np.type(vectorized_total)[0,:],1)
    
    word_vectors = np.zeros((n_top_words, vectorized_headlines.form[1]))
    for i in vary(n_top_words):
        word_vectors[i,word_indices[0,i]] = 1

    phrases = [word[0].encode('ascii').decode('utf-8') for 
             phrase in count_vectorizer.inverse_transform(word_vectors)]
    return (phrases, word_values[0,:n_top_words].tolist()[0])
    
# CountVectorizer perform maps phrases to a vector house with comparable phrases nearer collectively
count_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(max_df=0.8, min_df=2,stop_words="english")
phrases, word_values = get_top_n_words(n_top_words=15,
                                     count_vectorizer=count_vectorizer, 
                                     text_data=reindexed_data)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16,8))
ax.bar(vary(len(phrases)), word_values);
ax.set_xticks(vary(len(phrases)));
ax.set_xticklabels(phrases, rotation='vertical');
ax.set_title('Prime phrases in headlines dataset (excluding cease phrases)');
ax.set_xlabel('Phrase');
ax.set_ylabel('Variety of occurences');
plt.present()

Now, doing a part of speech tagging for the headlines.

import nltk
nltk.obtain('punkt')
nltk.obtain('averaged_perceptron_tagger')

tagged_headlines = [TextBlob(reindexed_data[i]).pos_tags for i in vary(reindexed_data.form[0])]
tagged_headlines[10] #checking the tenth headline

tagged_headlines_df = pd.DataFrame({'tags':tagged_headlines})

word_counts = [] 
pos_counts = {}

for headline in tagged_headlines_df[u'tags']:
    word_counts.append(len(headline))
    for tag in headline:
        if tag[1] in pos_counts:
            pos_counts[tag[1]] += 1
        else:
            pos_counts[tag[1]] = 1
            
print('Complete variety of phrases: ', np.sum(word_counts))
print('Imply variety of phrases per headline: ', np.imply(word_counts))

Output

Complete variety of phrases: 8166553

Imply variety of phrases per headline: 6.563782366595294

Checking if the distribution is regular.

y = stats.norm.pdf(np.linspace(0,14,50), np.imply(word_counts), np.std(word_counts))

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8,4))
ax.hist(word_counts, bins=vary(1,14), density=True);
ax.plot(np.linspace(0,14,50), y, 'r--', linewidth=1);
ax.set_title('Headline phrase lengths');
ax.set_xticks(vary(1,14));
ax.set_xlabel('Variety of phrases');
plt.present()

Visualizing the proportion of prime 5 used elements of speech.

# importing libraries
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
  
# declaring knowledge
pos_sorted_types = sorted(pos_counts, key=pos_counts.__getitem__, reverse=True)
pos_sorted_counts = sorted(pos_counts.values(), reverse=True)
  
top_five = pos_sorted_types[:5]
knowledge = pos_sorted_counts[:5]
# declaring exploding pie
explode = [0, 0.1, 0, 0, 0]
# outline Seaborn coloration palette to make use of
palette_color = sns.color_palette('darkish')
  
# plotting knowledge on chart
plt.pie(knowledge, labels=top_five, colours=palette_color, explode=explode,
         autopct="%.0f%%")
  
# displaying chart
plt.present()

Right here, it’s seen that fifty% of the phrases in headlines are Noun which sounds cheap.

Pre-processing

First, sampling 100,000 healines and changing sentences to phrases.

def sent_to_words(sentences):
    for sentence in sentences:
        # deacc=True removes punctuations
        yield(gensim.utils.simple_preprocess(str(sentence), deacc=True))  
text_sample = reindexed_data.pattern(n=100000, random_state=0).values
knowledge = text_sample.tolist()
data_words = record(sent_to_words(knowledge))

print(data_words[0])

Making bigram and trigram fashions.

# Construct the bigram and trigram fashions
bigram = gensim.fashions.Phrases(data_words, min_count=5, threshold=100) 
trigram = gensim.fashions.Phrases(bigram[data_words], threshold=100)  
# larger threshold fewer phrases.
# Sooner method to get a sentence clubbed as a trigram/bigram
bigram_mod = gensim.fashions.phrases.Phraser(bigram)
trigram_mod = gensim.fashions.phrases.Phraser(trigram)

We are going to do Stopwords removing, bigrams and trigrams and lemmatization on this step.

import nltk
nltk.obtain('stopwords')
from nltk.corpus import stopwords

stop_words = stopwords.phrases('english')
stop_words.lengthen(['from', 'subject', 're', 'edu', 'use'])

# Outline features for stopwords, bigrams, trigrams and lemmatization
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']):
    """https://spacy.io/api/annotation"""
    texts_out = []
    for despatched in texts:
        doc = nlp(" ".be a part of(despatched)) 
        texts_out.append([token.lemma_ for token in doc 
                                     if token.pos_ in allowed_postags])
    return texts_out

# !python -m spacy obtain en_core_web_sm
import spacy

# Take away Cease Phrases
data_words_nostops = remove_stopwords(text_sample)

# Type Bigrams
data_words_bigrams = make_bigrams(data_words_nostops)

# Initialize spacy 'en' mannequin, preserving solely tagger element (for effectivity)
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm", disable=['parser', 'ner'])

# Do lemmatization preserving solely noun, adj, vb, adv
data_lemmatized = lemmatization(data_words_bigrams, 
                             allowed_postags=['NOUN', 'ADJ', 'VERB', 'ADV'])

import gensim.corpora as corpora

# Create Dictionary
id2word = corpora.Dictionary(data_lemmatized)

# Create Corpus
texts = data_lemmatized

# Time period Doc Frequency
corpus = [id2word.doc2bow(text) for text in texts]

Matter Modeling

Making use of LDA mannequin assuming 15 themes in complete dataset

num_topics = 15

lda_model = gensim.fashions.LdaMulticore(corpus=corpus,
                                           id2word=id2word,
                                           num_topics=num_topics, 
                                           random_state=100,

Analysis

1. Calculating Coherence rating (ranges between -1 and 1), which is a measure of how comparable the phrases in a subject are.

from gensim.fashions import CoherenceModel

# Compute Coherence Rating
coherence_model_lda = CoherenceModel(mannequin=lda_model, texts=data_lemmatized,
                                    dictionary=id2word, coherence="c_v")
coherence_lda = coherence_model_lda.get_coherence()
print('Coherence Rating: ', coherence_lda)

Output

Coherence Rating: 0.38355488160129025

2. Calculating perplexity rating that may be a measure of randomness within the mannequin and the way nicely the chance distribution predicts the pattern. (decrease worth signifies higher mannequin)

perplexity = lda_model.log_perplexity(corpus)

print(perplexity)

Output

-10.416591518443418

We are able to see that the coherence rating is pretty low however can nonetheless predict related themes nicely and may certainly be improved by doing hyperparameter tuning. Additionally, perplexity is low which could be justified with the traditional distribution of the information as was seen in exploratory knowledge evaluation part.
