Convert a collection of raw documents to a matrix of token counts

This implementation produces a sparse representation of the counts using scipy.sparse.coo_matrix.

Parameters :

analyzer: WordNGramAnalyzer or CharNGramAnalyzer, optional :

vocabulary: dict, optional :

A dictionary where keys are tokens and values are indices in the matrix. This is useful in order to fix the vocabulary in advance.

dtype: type, optional :

Type of the matrix returned by fit_transform() or transform().

Methods

fit
fit_transform
transform
CountVectorizer.fit(raw_documents, y=None)

Learn a vocabulary dictionary of all tokens in the raw documents

Parameters :

raw_documents: iterable :

an iterable which yields either str, unicode or file objects

Returns :

self :

CountVectorizer.fit_transform(raw_documents, y=None)

Learn the vocabulary dictionary and return the count vectors

This is more efficient than calling fit followed by transform.

Parameters :

raw_documents: iterable :

an iterable which yields either str, unicode or file objects

Returns :

vectors: array, [n_samples, n_features] :

CountVectorizer.transform(raw_documents)

Extract token counts out of raw text documents

Parameters :

raw_documents: iterable :

an iterable which yields either str, unicode or file objects

Returns :

vectors: array, [n_samples, n_features] :
