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.
