Latent Semantic Analysis

Pipeline for training LSA models using Scikit-Learn.

Usage

Instead of writing custom code for latent semantic analysis, you just need:

1. install pipeline:

pip install latent-semantic-analysis

2. run pipeline:

• either in terminal:

lsa-train --path_to_config config.yaml

• or in python:

import latent_semantic_analysis

latent_semantic_analysis.train(path_to_config="config.yaml")

NOTE: more about config file here.

No data preparation is needed, only a csv file with raw text column (with arbitrary name).

Config

The user interface consists of only one files:

• config.yaml - general configuration with sklearn TF-IDF and SVD parameters

Change config.yaml to create the desired configuration and train LSA model with the following command:

• terminal:

lsa-train --path_to_config config.yaml

• python:

import latent_semantic_analysis

latent_semantic_analysis.train(path_to_config="config.yaml")

Default config.yaml:

seed: 42
path_to_save_folder: models

# data
data:
  data_path: data/data.csv
  sep: ','
  text_column: text

# tf-idf
tf-idf:
  lowercase: true
  ngram_range: (1, 1)
  max_df: 1.0
  min_df: 1

# svd
svd:
  n_components: 10
  algorithm: arpack

NOTE: tf-idf and svd are sklearn TfidfVectorizer and TruncatedSVD parameters correspondingly, so you can parameterize instances of these classes however you want.

Output

After training the model, the pipeline will return the following files:

• model.joblib - sklearn pipeline with LSA (TF-IDF and SVD steps)
• config.yaml - config that was used to train the model
• logging.txt - logging file
• doc2topic.json - document embeddings
• term2topic.json - term embeddings

Requirements

Python >= 3.6
