for i in range(len(titles)): if titles = 'OriginofSpecies': ori = i print(ori) # Index = 15 import re, os txts = titles = for n in files: f = open(n, encoding='utf-8-sig') data = re.sub(' +', ' ', f.read()) txts.append(data) titles.append(os.path.basename(n).replace('.txt', '')) Īnd then, for consistency, we will refer to Darwin’s most famous book “ On the Origin of Species” to check the results for other given book. We call such a collection of texts a corpus. folder = 'datasets/' files = glob.glob(folder + '*.txt') files.sort() Text PreprocessingĪs the first step, we need to load the content of each book and check the regular expression to facilitate the process by removing the all non-alpha-numeric characters. import glob # glob is a general term used to define techniques to match specified patterns according to rules related to Unix shell. Let’s take a look at the books we will use later. In this project, we will develop a content-based book recommendation system, which will determine which books are close to each other based on how similar the discussed topics are. He wrote many other books on a wide range of topics, including geology, plants or his personal life. import spacy nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_md', disable=) # Get w2v representation of the word 'breakfast' print (nlp('breakfast').vector.size) nlp('breakfast').vector # Find cosine similarity between w2v representations of breakfast and universe nlp('breakfast').similarity(nlp('universe')) # 0.044292555 doc1 = nlp('I like oranges that are sweet.') doc2 = nlp('I like apples that are sour.') doc1.similarity(doc2) # 0.962154245Ĭase Study: Book Recommendations from Charles Darwin DataĬharles Darwin is the most famous scientist in the world. Python’s spacy package provides pre-trained models we can use to see how w2v works. Compute cosine similarity between word vectors, create higher order representations using weighted average of the word vectors and feed to the classification task.Once we have the embedded vectors for each word and use them for NLP:

Skip-Gram (SG) - Predict vector representation of window of context words based on center/target word.Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) - Predict vector representation of center/target word based on window of context words.Here is the two methods that is typically used for training the NN: Word2Vec starts with one representation of all words in the corpus and train a NN (with 1 hidden layer) on a very large corpus of data. Word2Vec provides embedded representation of words.
