In the previous article, we have seen how the BoW approach works. It was a straightforward way to convert out text into numbers by just taking into consideration the frequency

Data Serialization and Deserialization in Python

Serialization is the act of transforming a structured object into a sequence of bytes that can be stored in a file system, database, or communicated over the network. Serialization is

Analysis of Algorithm in Python

The analysis of algorithms is to find the complexity of algorithms in terms of time and storage. In theoretical analysis, the analysis is performed based on the description of the algorithm, or the operation of the program or function

Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms

Data Structure is a systematic way of organizing the data on the computer. Data is nothing but some useful information like documents, photos, videos, audio, or programs stored in computer memory.

Face Detection using Python-OpenCV

We humans can detect images, and the objects that are present in the image. But when it comes to computers, an image is just a representation of 0’s and 1’s.

Working with text files in Python

The integration of networking devices is saved in the form of text files. So it is essential to know how to work with text files using python. Text files in

The Bag of Words (BoW) approach in NLP

The Bag-of-Words or BoW approach is a very fundamental topic in Natural language Processing. It is a way to represent our text into numbers. In the introductory section of this

Edge Detection in OpenCV

Edge detection is an important method in image processing. Edges are important aspects that are associated with images. It involves detecting the boundaries of the objects in the image. Edge

Histograms in OpenCV

Histograms are the graphical representation of the pixel intensities distribution in the form of a digital image. Histograms provide an easy understanding of the features of the pixels in an

Named Entity Recognition (NER) with spaCy in NLP

NER or Named Entity Recognition is an important part of Information Extraction in NLP. How do we define NER? A formal definition of Named Entity Recognition (NER) is that it

NumPy Array empty(), zeros() and ones()

The NumPy package has a lot of functionalities for array creation. One of which is array() function which we discussed earlier in depth. Now we check out other ways to

NumPy Array from Numerical Ranges

In this article, we will see the functions that use numerical ranges to create a NumPy ndarray. arange() function linspace() function logspace() function Table of Contents Show / Hide 1.

NumPy Array Creation from Existing Data

The NumPy library supports ndarray creation using existing data as well. The following are the list of functions that creates ndarray from an existing data source: asarray() function frombuffer() function

NumPy Array Attributes

The Numpy package provides attributes for the numpy arrays. These attributes help us to know the shape, dimension, and other properties of a given numpy array(ndarray). Table of Contents Show

NumPy ndarray Class (Numpy Array)

The most important class defined in NumPy is an N-dimensional array type called ndarray. The ndarray class contains the data structures for representing the multi-dimensional arrays of homogeneous data (all

POS Tagging in NLP

Let us start by defining what Part-of-Speech tagging means. We saw that part-of-speech or POS tagging is necessary for Lemmatization. It is important for other NLP tasks and problems as

Lemmatization in NLP

Lemmatization is the process wherein the context is used to convert a word to its meaningful base or root form. Now, let’s try to simplify the above formal definition to

Tokenization in NLP

Tokenization is the process of breaking down the documents or sentences into chunks called tokens. These tokens are mostly words, characters, or numbers but they can also be extended to

Stemming in NLP

If you remember, we had discussed in the previous articles that the first step towards vectorization (converting text to numbers) is tokenization. So what is the next step? After splitting

Image Thresholding in OpenCV

Image thresholding is a concept of changing the colors of pixels and manipulating the pixels in an image into only two colors, mostly black and white. This concept is mostly

Getting Started with NumPy

Numerical Python(NumPy) is a Python library that is fundamentally used for scientific computing in Python. The library provides fast operations on arrays, handling multidimensional arrays(example: matrices) and providing functions for

Image Transformations in OpenCV

OpenCV provides pre-defined image Transformation methods such as cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY In a Grayscale image, all the colors red, blue, green are displayed as shades of gray. If we compare any colored
