Transformer that can automatically featurize text columns using featuretools’ nlp_primitives.
Since models cannot handle non-numeric data, any text must be broken down into features that provide useful information about that text. This component splits each text column into several informative features: Diversity Score, Mean Characters per Word, Polarity Score, LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis), Number of Characters, and Number of Words. Calling transform on this component will replace any text columns in the given dataset with these numeric columns.
- Parameters
random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

Methods
Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.
Returns the default parameters for this component.
Describe a component and its parameters.
Fits component to data.
Fits on X and transforms X.
Loads component at file path.
Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.
Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.
Saves component at file path.
Transforms data X by creating new features using existing text columns.
Updates the parameter dictionary of the component.
- clone(self)#
Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.
- Returns
A new instance of this component with identical parameters and random state.
- default_parameters(cls)#
Returns the default parameters for this component.
Our convention is that Component.default_parameters == Component().parameters.
- Returns
Default parameters for this component.
- Return type
dict
- describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False)#
Describe a component and its parameters.
- Parameters
print_name (bool, optional) – whether to print name of component
return_dict (bool, optional) – whether to return description as dictionary in the format {“name”: name, “parameters”: parameters}
- Returns
Returns dictionary if return_dict is True, else None.
- Return type
None or dict
- fit(self, X, y=None)[source]#
Fits component to data.
- Parameters
X (pd.DataFrame or np.ndarray) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features]
y (pd.Series) – The target training data of length [n_samples]
- Returns
self
- fit_transform(self, X, y=None)#
Fits on X and transforms X.
- Parameters
X (pd.DataFrame) – Data to fit and transform.
y (pd.Series) – Target data.
- Returns
Transformed X.
- Return type
pd.DataFrame
- Raises
MethodPropertyNotFoundError – If transformer does not have a transform method or a component_obj that implements transform.
- static load(file_path)#
Loads component at file path.
- Parameters
file_path (str) – Location to load file.
- Returns
ComponentBase object
- needs_fitting(self)#
Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.
This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing.
- Returns
True.
- property parameters(self)#
Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.
- save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL)#
Saves component at file path.
- Parameters
file_path (str) – Location to save file.
pickle_protocol (int) – The pickle data stream format.
- transform(self, X, y=None)[source]#
Transforms data X by creating new features using existing text columns.
- Parameters
X (pd.DataFrame) – The data to transform.
y (pd.Series, optional) – Ignored.
- Returns
Transformed X
- Return type
pd.DataFrame
- update_parameters(self, update_dict, reset_fit=True)#
Updates the parameter dictionary of the component.
- Parameters
update_dict (dict) – A dict of parameters to update.
reset_fit (bool, optional) – If True, will set _is_fitted to False.
