extract_keywords
Parse and extract keywords from texts.
The text elements considered keywords are configurable. They can include detected noun phrases (compound nouns like ‘the quick brown fox’), any automatically recognized entities (people, products, events), or any lexical category of word, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives etc.
A text column to extract keywords from.
An (optional) column identifying the languages of the corresponding texts. It is used to identify the correct model (spaCy)
to use for each text. If the dataset doesn’t contain such a column yet, it can be created using the infer_language step.
Ideally, languages should be expressed as two-letter
ISO 639-1 language codes, such as “en”, “es” or “de” for
English, Spanish or German respectively. We also detect fully spelled out names such as “english”, “German”, “allemande”
etc., but it is not guaranteed that we will recognize all possible spellings correctly always, so ISO codes should be
preferred.
Alternatively, if all texts are in the same language, it can be identified with the language parameter instead.
Lists containing the keywords mentioned in each text.
Whether to enable support for additional languages. By default, Arabic (“ar”), Catalan (“ca”), Basque (“eu”), and Turkish (“tu”) are not enabled, since they’re supported only by a different class of language models (stanfordNLP’s Stanza) that is much slower than the rest. This parameter can be used to enable them.
Minimum number (or proportion) of texts to include a language in processing. Any texts in a language with fewer documents than these will be ignored. Can be useful to speed up processing when there is noise in the input languages, and when ignoring languages with a small number of documents only is acceptable. Values smaller than 1 will be interpreted as a proportion of all texts, and values greater than or equal to 1 as an absolute number of documents.
The language of inputs texts.
If all texts are in the same language, it can be specified here instead of passing it as an input column. The language will be used to identify the correct spaCy model to parse and analyze the texts. For allowed values, see the comment regarding the lang column above.
Configure how keywords are extracted. Define the text elements considered keywords and their minimum or maximum frequency in the dataset to be included in the result.
Part-Of-Speech (POS) tags. Which lexical units (nouns, verbs etc.) to include as keywords. See spaCy’s universal part-of-speech tags for a detailed table of allowed values.
Whether or not to include any detected entities (people, places, events, etc.).
Whether or not to include compound noun phrases (such as ‘the quick red fox’).
Filter keywords based on the number of texts they occur in. Filter conditions can be applied globally or per language.
Minimum number of rows. Keywords not occurring in at least these many rows (texts) will be excluded.
Values must be in the following range:
0 ≤ min_rows < inf
Maximum proportion of rows. Keywords occurring in more than this proportion of rows (texts) will be excluded.
Values must be in the following range:
0 ≤ max_rows ≤ 1
Whether to always include the n most frequent keywords.
I.e. independent of any other filter conditions. Set to null to ignore.
Values must be in the following range:
0 ≤ keep_top_n < inf
Whether to exclude n most frequent keywords. I.e. independent of any other filter conditions.
Values must be in the following range:
0 ≤ filter_top_n < inf
Filter per language. Apply filter conditions separately to texts grouped by language, rather than across all texts.
