Summary of Live Day 2- Bag Of Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec NLP And Quiz-5000Inr Give Away

Main Ideas and Concepts

The video covers a live session focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, specifically discussing various methods for text preprocessing and vectorization, including:

Text Preprocessing:
- Cleaning Text: Converting text to lowercase, removing special characters, and tokenization.
- Stemming and Lemmatization: Techniques to reduce words to their base or root form.
- Stop Words: Removal of common words that do not contribute significant meaning to the text.
Vectorization Techniques:
- One-Hot Encoding: A simple method to convert words into binary vectors, but it has disadvantages such as sparsity and loss of semantic meaning.
- Bag of Words (BoW): A technique that counts the frequency of words in a document, creating a sparse matrix representation. It can be binary or count-based.
- N-grams: An extension of BoW that considers combinations of words (bigrams, trigrams) to capture more context and relationships between words.
TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency): A method to evaluate the importance of a word in a document relative to a collection of documents, which helps in addressing some limitations of BoW.
Practical Implementation: The session includes practical coding examples using the NLTK library for NLP tasks, demonstrating how to implement the discussed techniques.
Quiz and Engagement: The session ends with a quiz where participants can win cash prizes, encouraging engagement and application of the concepts learned.

Detailed Methodology/Instructions

Text Preprocessing Steps:
- Lowercase Conversion: Convert all text to lowercase to ensure uniformity.
- Tokenization: Split text into individual words or tokens.
- Removing Stop Words: Filter out common words that do not add significant meaning.
- Stemming: Reduce words to their root form using algorithms like Porter Stemmer.
- Lemmatization: Similar to stemming, but ensures that the root word is a valid word.
Vectorization Techniques:
- One-Hot Encoding:
  - Create a binary vector for each word in the vocabulary.
  - Each vector has a '1' for the presence of a word and '0' for absence.
- Bag of Words:
  - Count the frequency of each word in the document.
  - Create a matrix where rows represent documents and columns represent words.
- N-grams:
  - Generate combinations of words (bigrams, trigrams) to capture context.
  - Count occurrences of these combinations to form a feature matrix.
TF-IDF:
- Calculate term frequency (TF) for each word in a document.
- Calculate inverse document frequency (IDF) to assess the importance of a word across documents.
- Multiply TF and IDF to get the TF-IDF score.

Speakers/Sources Featured
