TfidfVectorizer.FitTransform

Learn the vocabulary and frequencies, and weight the same corpus.

public CsrMatrix FitTransform(IEnumerable<string> documents)

Parameters — documents is the corpus, both learned from and weighted.

Returns — CsrMatrix, one row per document, weighted and normalized by TfidfOptions.Norm.

Exceptions — ArgumentNullException when documents is null. A corpus that leaves no terms does not throw: it yields a model of zero columns, which every later transform will produce empty rows against.

Example — the whole corpus in one call, which is the usual way in.

using Lodestar.Text.Vectorization;

string[] docs = ["the cat eats", "the dog eats", "the cat and the dog"];

CsrMatrix weighted = new TfidfVectorizer().FitTransform(docs);

int rows = weighted.RowCount;         // => 3
int columns = weighted.ColumnCount;   // => 5

Remarks — equivalent to Fit then Transform on the same corpus, in one enumeration rather than two. It is not equivalent to fitting one corpus and transforming another, and the difference is not cosmetic here: the document frequencies would come from the wrong corpus.

Applies to — net10.0, netstandard2.0.
