    """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.
