To calculate the TF-IDF score for a sentence, you will need to perform the following steps:
Here's some pseudocode that demonstrates how you could implement this in Python:
from math import log def calculate_tfidf(sentence, documents): # Tokenize the sentence and remove stop words tokens = tokenize(sentence) # Calculate the term frequency for each token tf = {} for token in tokens: tf[token] = tokens.count(token) / len(tokens) # Calculate the inverse document frequency for each token idf = {} for token in tokens: idf[token] = log(len(documents) / sum(token in document for document in documents)) # Calculate the TF-IDF score for each token tfidf = {} for token in tokens: tfidf[token] = tf[token] * idf[token] # Return the sum of the TF-IDF scores for all the tokens in the sentence return sum(tfidf.values())
In this example, documents
is a list of all the documents in the collection, and tokenize(sentence)
is a function that splits the sentence into tokens and removes stop words. The calculate_tfidf()
function returns the overall TF-IDF score for the sentence.
