ft_ngram: Feature Transformation -- NGram (Transformer)

Description

A feature transformer that converts the input array of strings into an array of n-grams. Null values in the input array are ignored. It returns an array of n-grams where each n-gram is represented by a space-separated string of words.

Usage

ft_ngram(
  x,
  input_col = NULL,
  output_col = NULL,
  n = 2,
  uid = random_string("ngram_"),
  ...
)

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x. If it is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_estimator or a ml_estimator object. If it is a ml_pipeline, it will return a pipeline with the transformer or estimator appended to it. If a tbl_spark, it will return a tbl_spark with the transformation applied to it.

Arguments

x

A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.

input_col

The name of the input column.

output_col

The name of the output column.

n

Minimum n-gram length, greater than or equal to 1. Default: 2, bigram features

uid

A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.

...

Optional arguments; currently unused.

Details

When the input is empty, an empty array is returned. When the input array length is less than n (number of elements per n-gram), no n-grams are returned.
