A Gentle Introduction to the Bag-of-Words Model

Last Updated on August 7, 2019

The bag-of-words model is a way of representing text data when modeling text with machine learning algorithms.

The bag-of-words model is simple to understand and implement and has seen great success in problems such as language modeling and document classification.

In this tutorial, you will discover the bag-of-words model for feature extraction in natural language processing.

After completing this tutorial, you will know:

  • What the bag-of-words model is and why it is needed to represent text.
  • How to develop a bag-of-words model for a collection of documents.
  • How to use different techniques to prepare a vocabulary and score words.

Kick-start your project with my new book Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing, including step-by-step tutorials and the Python source code files for all examples.

Let’s get started.
