We will also use the data.table package for data wrangling.įirst of all let’s split out dataset into two parts - train and test.
Vectorize fonts movie#
It consists of 5000 movie reviews, each of which is marked as positive or negative. Text2vec package provides the movie_review dataset. Let’s demonstrate package core functionality by applying it to a real case problem - sentiment analysis. The text2vec package solves this problem by providing a better way of constructing a document-term matrix. It involves reading the whole collection of text documents into RAM and processing it as single vector, which can easily increase memory use by a factor of 2 to 4. Thus constructing a DTM, even for a small collections of documents, can be a serious bottleneck for analysts and researchers.

Because of R’s copy-on-modify semantics, it is not easy to iteratively grow a DTM. Texts themselves can take up a lot of memory, but vectorized texts usually do not, because they are stored as sparse matrices. In this vignette we will primarily discuss the first step.
