How can I convert text to TF-IDF format using Weka in Java?

Suppose I have the following example ARFF file with two attributes:

(1): positive [1] or negative [-1]

(2) tweet: text

@relation sentiment_analysis

@attribute sentiment {1, -1}
@attribute tweet string

@data
-1,'is upset that he can\'t update his Facebook by texting it... and might cry as a result  School today also. Blah!'
-1,'@Kenichan I dived many times for the ball. Managed to save 50\%  The rest go out of bounds'
-1,'my whole body feels itchy and like its on fire '
-1,'@nationwideclass no, it\ not behaving at all. i\'m mad. why am i here? because I can\'t see you all over there. '
-1,'@Kwesidei not the whole crew '
-1,'Need a hug '
1,'@Cliff_Forster Yeah, that does work better than just waiting for it  In the end I just wonder if I have time to keep up a good blog.'
1,'Just woke up. Having no school is the best feeling ever '
1,'TheWDB.com - Very cool to hear old Walt interviews!  ? http://blip.fm/~8bmta'
1,'Are you ready for your MoJo Makeover? Ask me for details '
1,'Happy 38th Birthday to my boo of alll time!!! Tupac Amaru Shakur '
1,'happy #charitytuesday @theNSPCC @SparksCharity @SpeakingUpH4H '

      

I want to convert the values ​​of the second attribute to the equivalent TF-IDF values.

Btw, I tried the following code, but its ARFF output does not contain the first attribute for positive (1) values ​​for the respective instances.

// Set the tokenizer
NGramTokenizer tokenizer = new NGramTokenizer();
tokenizer.setNGramMinSize(1);
tokenizer.setNGramMaxSize(1);
tokenizer.setDelimiters("\\W");

// Set the filter
StringToWordVector filter = new StringToWordVector();
filter.setAttributeIndicesArray(new int[]{1});
filter.setOutputWordCounts(true);
filter.setTokenizer(tokenizer);
filter.setInputFormat(inputInstances);
filter.setWordsToKeep(1000000);
filter.setDoNotOperateOnPerClassBasis(true);
filter.setLowerCaseTokens(true);
filter.setTFTransform(true);
filter.setIDFTransform(true);

// Filter the input instances into the output ones
outputInstances = Filter.useFilter(inputInstances, filter);

      

Example ARFF output file:

@data
{0 -1,320 1,367 1,374 1,397 1,482 1,537 1,553 1,681 1,831 1,1002 1,1033 1,1112 1,1119 1,1291 1,1582 1,1618 1,1787 1,1810 1,1816 1,1855 1,1939 1,1941 1}
{0 -1,72 1,194 1,436 1,502 1,740 1,891 1,935 1,1075 1,1256 1,1260 1,1388 1,1415 1,1579 1,1611 1,1818 2,1849 1,1853 1}
{0 -1,374 1,491 1,854 1,873 1,1120 1,1121 1,1197 1,1337 1,1399 1,2019 1}
{0 -1,240 1,359 2,369 1,407 1,447 1,454 1,553 1,1019 1,1075 3,1119 1,1240 1,1244 1,1373 1,1379 1,1417 1,1599 1,1628 1,1787 1,1824 1,2021 1,2075 1}
{0 -1,198 1,677 1,1379 1,1818 1,2019 1}
{0 -1,320 1,1070 1,1353 1}
{0 -1,210 1,320 2,477 2,867 1,1020 1,1067 1,1075 1,1212 1,1213 1,1240 1,1373 1,1404 1,1542 1,1599 1,1628 1,1815 1,1847 1,2067 1,2075 1}
{179 1,1815 1}
{298 1,504 1,662 1,713 1,752 1,1163 1,1275 1,1488 1,1787 1,2011 1,2075 1}
{144 1,785 1,1274 1}
{19 1,256 1,390 1,808 1,1314 1,1350 1,1442 1,1464 1,1532 1,1786 1,1823 1,1864 1,1908 1,1924 1}
{84 1,186 1,320 1,459 1,564 1,636 1,673 1,810 1,811 1,966 1,997 1,1094 1,1163 1,1207 1,1592 1,1593 1,1714 1,1836 1,1853 1,1964 1,1984 1,1997 2,2058 1}
{9 1,1173 1,1768 1,1818 1}
{86 1,935 1,1112 1,1337 1,1348 1,1482 1,1549 1,1783 1,1853 1}

      

As you can see, the first few instances are fine (since they contain the -1 class along with other functions), but the last remaining instances do not contain the positive class attribute (1).

I mean it should have been {0 1, ...} as the very first attribute in recent instances in the ARFF output file, but it's missing.

You have to specify which is your class attribute explicitly in your java program, since when you apply the StringToWordVector filter, your input is split between the n-grams specified. Hence, the location of the class attribute changes after StringToWordVector vectorizes the input. You can simply use a patch file that will end up putting the class attribute at the last position and Weka will select the last attribute as the class attribute.

More information on reordering in Weka can be found at http://weka.sourceforge.net/doc.stable-3-8/weka/filters/unsupervised/attribute/Reorder.html . Also in Example 5 http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?api=weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Reorder can help you when reordering.



Hope it helps.
