euclidean distanceThis stuff makes my head hurt….just look at this formula….WTF man!

Basically, it’s just the square root of the sum of the distance of the points from each other, squared….easy

So in Python this translates into:-

plot1 = [1,3]
plot2 = [2,5]
euclidean_distance = sqrt( (plot1[0]-plot2[0])**2 + (plot1[1]-plot2[1])**2 )

Regression – How to program the Best Fit Line

https://pythonprogramming.net/how-to-program-best-fit-line-machine-learning-tutorial/

Next part of the equation works out the y intercept…

So Y intercept (b) equals the mean of the Ys minus the slope (m) times the mean of the Xs…easy.

# Import Libs
from statistics import mean
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# To set charts to save as images we need to change the default behaviour
from matplotlib import style # inport style to change default behaviour of plot
style.use('ggplot') # use ggplot

# Define values
xs = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6], dtype=np.float64) # dtype lets you set the data type. Not needed for this example but useful in future
ys = np.array([5,4,6,5,6,7], dtype=np.float64)

def best_fit_slope_and_intercept(xs, ys): # defining function to calculate slope (m) - passing values of xs and ys
    m = ( ((mean(xs)*mean(ys)) - mean(xs * ys)) / # bracket space at the start and space slash at the end allows for a carridge return in the code
        ((mean(xs)**2)-mean(xs**2)))  ## **2 raises to the power of 2
    b = mean(ys) - (m * mean(xs))
    return m, b # add in b to be returned as well as m

m, b = best_fit_slope_and_intercept(xs,ys) # define both usinf the function
print(m, b)

#calculate the line
regression_line = [(m*x)+b for x in xs] # one line for loop to create the line for illustration

#plot the data
plt.scatter(xs, ys)
plt.plot(xs, regression_line)
plt.savefig('ML_Tutorial9.png', bbox_inches='tight') #Sets the output to save an image

Regression – How to program the Best Fit Slope

https://pythonprogramming.net/how-to-program-best-fit-line-slope-machine-learning-tutorial/

This covers building up a Linear Regression model in Python based on the standard equation:-

Slope of the best fit line being equal to Mean of the X values times the Mean of the Y values, minus the Mean of the Xs times the Ys. Divided by the Mean of Xs to the power of 2, minus the of all the Xs to the power of 2 (I know confusing right lol).

 The code was a fairly straight forward application of math. Comments and learnings are in the code:-

# Import Libs
from statistics import mean
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# To set charts to save as images we need to change the default behaviour
from matplotlib import style # inport style to change default behaviour of plot
style.use('ggplot') # use ggplot

# Define values
xs = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6], dtype=np.float64) # dtype lets you set the data type. Not needed for this example but useful in future
ys = np.array([5,4,6,5,6,7], dtype=np.float64)

def best_fit_slope(xs, ys): # defining function to calculate slope (m) - passing values of xs and ys
    m = ( ((mean(xs)*mean(ys)) - mean(xs * ys)) / # bracket space at the start and space slash at the end allows for a carridge return in the code
        ((mean(xs)**2)-mean(xs**2)))  ## **2 raises to the power of 2
    return m

m = best_fit_slope(xs,ys)

Pickling and Scaling

https://pythonprogramming.net/pickling-scaling-machine-learning-tutorial/

I’ve covered Pickling before and gone through the steps – so not a lot of new stuff to cover.

Key elements being:-

Writing a Pickle

clf.fit(X_train, y_train) # fit the data to the training data
with open('LinearRegression.pickle','wb') as f:
    pickle.dump(clf, f)

Reading a Pickle

pickle_in = open ('LinearRegression.pickle', 'rb')
clf = pickle.load(pickle_in)

The other key concept on this tutorial was scaling on rented host systems. With the work flow being:-

  • Rent a small part of a server to write the code (minimal cost)
  • Once coding is complete – scale up the server to do the hard data crunching
  • Save the output as pickles
  • Scale the server back down to minimum needed

This means that you don’t need to pay for the large server all the time.

Nice idea.

df['pct_Change'] = ((df['Adj. Close'] - df['Adj. Open']) / df['Adj. Open']) * 100

df = df[['Adj. Close','HL_pct','pct_Change','Adj. Volume']]


forecast_col = 'Adj. Close' # define what we're forcasting
df.fillna(-99999, inplace=True) #replaces missing data with an outlier value (-99999) rather that getting rid of any data

forecast_out = int(math.ceil(0.01*len(df))) # math.ceil rounds everything up to the nearest whole - so this formula takes 1% of the length of the datafram, rounds this up  and finally converts it to an interger

df['label'] = df[forecast_col].shift(-forecast_out) # so this adds a new column 'label' that contains the 'Adj. Close' value from ~1 days in future(?)

X = X[:-forecast_out] # needs to happen after scaling



df.dropna(inplace=True)
y = np.array(df['label'])
y = np.array(df['label']) # array of labels

### creat training and testing sets

# clf = LinearRegression(n_jobs=10) # linear regression using threading, 10 jobs at a time = faster
clf = LinearRegression(n_jobs=-1) # linear regression using threading with as many jobs as preprocessor will handle
# clf = svm.SVR() # base support vector regression

clf.fit(X_train, y_train) # fit the data to the training data

Regression – Training and Testing

This tutorial covered the first application of Regression to sample data.

https://pythonprogramming.net/training-testing-machine-learning-tutorial/

Key takeaways being:-

  • X & y – define features and labels respectively
  • Scaling data helps accuracy and performance but can take longer:
    Generally, you want your features in machine learning to be in a range of -1 to 1. This may do nothing, but it usually speeds up processing and can also help with accuracy. Because this range is so popularly used, it is included in the preprocessing module of Scikit-Learn. To utilize this, you can apply preprocessing.scale to your X variable:
  • Quandl limits the number of anonymous API calls, the work around requiring registration and the passing of a key with requests:-
    quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = “<the API Key>”
  • cross_validation is deprecated – model_selection can be used instead
    from sklearn import model_selection
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = model_selection.train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)
  • It’s easy to swap out different algorithms – some can be threaded allowing parallel processing  (check algorithm documentation for n_jobs)
  • n_jobs=-1 sets the number of jobs to the maximum number for the processor

Machine Learning – Tutorial 3

Regression – Features and Labels

So the first two tutorials basically introduced the topic and imported some stock data – straight forward. Biggest takeaway being the use of Quandl – I’ll be doing some research into them at a later date.

So this tutorial gets into the meat of regression using Numpy to convert data into Numpy Arrays for Sykit-learn to do its thing.

Quick note on features and labels:-

  • features are the descriptive attributes
  • labels are what we’re trying to predict or forecast

A common example with regression might be to try to predict the dollar value of an insurance policy premium for someone. The company may collect your age, past driving infractions, public criminal record, and your credit score for example. The company will use past customers, taking this data, and feeding in the amount of the “ideal premium” that they think should have been given to that customer, or they will use the one they actually used if they thought it was a profitable amount.

Thus, for training the machine learning classifier, the features are customer attributes, the label is the premium associated with those attributes.

import pandas as pd
import quandl, math #imports Math and Quandl

df = quandl.get('WIKI/GOOGL') #import data from Qunadl
# print (df.head()) # print out the head rows of the data to check what we're getting

# create a dataframe
df = df[['Adj. Open', 'Adj. High', 'Adj. Low', 'Adj. Close','Adj. Volume']]
df['HL_pct'] = ((df['Adj. High'] - df['Adj. Close']) / df['Adj. Close']) * 100
df['pct_Change'] = ((df['Adj. Close'] - df['Adj. Open']) / df['Adj. Open']) * 100

df = df[['Adj. Close','HL_pct','pct_Change','Adj. Volume']]


forecast_col = 'Adj. Close' # define what we're forcasting
df.fillna(-99999, inplace=True) #replaces missing data with an outlier value (-99999) rather that getting rid of any data

forecast_out = int(math.ceil(0.01*len(df))) # math.ceil rounds everything up to the nearest whole - so this formula takes 1% of the length of the datafram, rounds this up  and finally converts it to an interger

df['label'] = df[forecast_col].shift(-forecast_out) # so this adds a new column 'label' that contains the 'Adj. Close' value from ~1 days in future(?)
df.dropna(inplace=True)
print (df.head()) #just used to check data

Python interlude

galiquis March 9, 2020

So the key project I’ve been working on is looking at stock market data and trying to develop a set of python tools that allows me to make better predictions.

This started with Beautiful Soup scripts designed to harvest company fundamentals from the London Stock Exchange website – integrating this to a SQL database for later analysis. This should given me all the raw data I need to determine whether a company is viable (passing a set of qualifier tests) along with (eventually) a way of predicting a base share value.

The second element to the project is then using sentiment analysis to look at how those same companies are being discussed on social media. This has been based on Sendex’s tutorials using Twitter, but my hope is to adapt these to other platforms. This then compliments the base data with some views on where current sentiment is – and hopefully there is a correlation between the two data-sets.

However, the current virus has meant free fall in most stock indexes which is probably going to skew my model. So I’m going to let it pass while working on a few supplementary modules that I would have gotten around to including at a later date.

Namely Machine Learning 🙂

So as before I’m going to follow Sendex’s tutorials on this.
There are a few Udemy courses I’ve done in this area – so I might not keep extensive notes – just cover the key elements I need to keep track of.

Anyway….music not related…

Graphing Live Twitter Sentiment 

The final stage of this set of tutorials is graphing the sentiment output…based on a more in depth tutorial here:-

https://pythonprogramming.net/live-graphs-matplotlib-tutorial/

Code here:-

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
from matplotlib import style
import time

style.use("ggplot")

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

def animate(i):
    pullData = open("twitter-out.txt","r").read()
    lines = pullData.split('\n')

    xar = []
    yar = []

    x = 0
    y = 0

    for l in lines[-200:]:
        x += 1
        if "pos" in l:
            y += 1
        elif "neg" in l:
            y -= 1

        xar.append(x)
        yar.append(y)
        
    ax1.clear()
    ax1.plot(xar,yar)
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval=1000)
plt.show()

As I’m running this on a headless server it ran into issues straight away…

galiquis@localhost: $ python3 nltk_tutorial21.py
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(nltk_tutorial21.py:26565): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 08:21:48.134: gdk_cursor_new_for_display: assertion ‘GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)’ failed

(nltk_tutorial21.py:26565): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 08:21:48.137: gdk_cursor_new_for_display: assertion ‘GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)’ failed

So after a little research I found a way of switching the ‘canvas’ to the Agg Buffer – allowing the output to be saved rather than shown.

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')

It’s important that this is defined ahead of any other canvas calls/functions – otherwise it throws errors.

The other tweaks I made just switched off the animation for now.

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
#from matplotlib import style

import time

#style.use("ggplot")


fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

def animate(i):
    pullData = open("twitter-out.txt","r").read()
    lines = pullData.split('\n')

    xar = []
    yar = []

    x = 0
    y = 0

    for l in lines[-200:]:
        x += 1
        if "pos" in l:
            y += 1
        elif "neg" in l:
            y -= 1

        xar.append(x)
        yar.append(y)

    ax1.clear()
    ax1.plot(xar,yar)

#ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval=100)
animate(1)
fig.savefig('temp.png')

Twitter sentiment analysis

First up the Twitter API module needed installing:- 

galiquis@raspberrypi: $ pip3 install tweepy

Next a Twitter App is required from this link:-

https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps

This required setting up a developer account – with more justification in the application form than I was expecting – especially around what I’d be using the app for….anyway once generated it gave a live stream of twitter based on this code:-

from tweepy import Stream
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener

#consumer key, consumer secret, access token, access secret.
ckey="6ru23AnzOKAieH4eYXF0XuTPS"
csecret="74Oz560aRCfo5QzzXu2I0gfOm58qkNPfZx0oSl3tnWEnEND4ex"
atoken="241873929-QkQ1eN0Du1Cg6el6rJa3sMGRHBaiSp7Cxekq61Of"
asecret="hf0ECMVfcqlPWkgOGKeNNTU1m41QQuiTOLzktsiNqqIxD"

class listener(StreamListener):

    def on_data(self, data):
        print(data)
        return(True)

    def on_error(self, status):
        print(status)

auth = OAuthHandler(ckey, csecret)
auth.set_access_token(atoken, asecret)

twitterStream = Stream(auth, listener())
twitterStream.filter(track=["car"])

https://pythonprogramming.net/twitter-api-streaming-tweets-python-tutorial/

The below covers a few tweaks with the output of the sentiment engine being saved off into a text file. 

from tweepy import Stream
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
import json
import sentiment_mod as s

#consumer key, consumer secret, access token, access secret.
ckey="*"
csecret="*"
atoken="*"
asecret="*"

class listener(StreamListener):

    def on_data(self, data):
        all_data = json.loads(data)
        tweet = all_data["text"]
        sentiment_value, confidence = s.sentiment(tweet)
        print(tweet, sentiment_value, confidence)

        if confidence*100 >= 80:
            output = open("twitter-out.txt", "a")
            output.write(sentiment_value)
            output.write('\n')
            output.close()

        return(True)

    def on_error(self, status):
        print(status)

auth = OAuthHandler(ckey, csecret)
auth.set_access_token(atoken, asecret)

twitterStream = Stream(auth, listener())
twitterStream.filter(track=["car"]) # term searched for in tweets

Next we’ll look at graphing this data.

Sentiment Analysis Module 

This section brings all the detail together to create a module that can be used to monitor twitter sentiment.

The code for this is seperated into two blocks.

The first pickles most of the heavy training to save time in future iteration:-.

import nltk
import random
#from nltk.corpus import movie_reviews
from nltk.classify.scikitlearn import SklearnClassifier
import pickle
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB, BernoulliNB
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression, SGDClassifier
from sklearn.svm import SVC, LinearSVC, NuSVC
from nltk.classify import ClassifierI
from statistics import mode
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
#from unidecode import unidecode

    def __init__(self, *classifiers):
        self._classifiers = classifiers

    def classify(self, features):
        votes = []
        for c in self._classifiers:

            votes.append(v)
        return mode(votes)

    def confidence(self, features):
        votes = []
        for c in self._classifiers:
            v = c.classify(features)
            votes.append(v)

        choice_votes = votes.count(mode(votes))
        conf = choice_votes / len(votes)
        return conf

short_pos = open("positive.txt","r", encoding='utf-8', errors='replace').read() ## had to add a line to tell the open function to use utf-8
short_neg = open("negative.txt","r", encoding='utf-8', errors='replace').read()

# move this up here
all_words = []
documents = []

#  j is adject, r is adverb, and v is verb
#allowed_word_types = ["J","R","V"]
allowed_word_types = ["J"]

for p in short_pos.split('\n'):
    documents.append( (p, "pos") )
    words = word_tokenize(p)
    pos = nltk.pos_tag(words)
    for w in pos:
        if w[1][0] in allowed_word_types:
            all_words.append(w[0].lower())

save_word_features = open("pickled_algos/word_features5k.pickle","wb")
pickle.dump(word_features, save_word_features)
save_word_features.close()


def find_features(document):
    words = word_tokenize(document)
    features = {}
    for w in word_features:
        features[w] = (w in words)

    return features

featuresets = [(find_features(rev), category) for (rev, category) in documents]

random.shuffle(featuresets)
print(len(featuresets))

testing_set = featuresets[7400:] # memory limitations on the Pi meant this needed reducing from 10,000
training_set = featuresets[:7400]

save_featuresets = open("pickled_algos/featuresets.pickle","wb") ## added code to pickle featuresets
pickle.dump(featuresets, save_featuresets)

print("Original Naive Bayes Algo accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(classifier, testing_set))*100)

save_classifier = open("pickled_algos/SGDC_classifier5k.pickle","wb")
pickle.dump(SGDC_classifier, save_classifier)
save_classifier.close()

I had to drop the size of the learning set given the memory restrictions on the Pi not sure there was another way around this and it probably means that to start doing some of this stuff seriously….I’m going to need a bigger/better server.

Also I added a section to pickle the featuresets:-

save_featuresets = open("pickled_algos/featuresets.pickle","wb") ## added code to pickle featuresets
pickle.dump(featuresets, save_featuresets)
save_featuresets.close()

One option might be clustering the Pi or putting together a low power server – which then leads into building a full home server farm.

Better training data

This tutorial covers training the algorithm on a new more tailored data-set. The training data set used still covers movie reviews but contains those that are a lot shorter – which should give better results.

 

 

Natural Language Tool Kit – Tutorial 16

galiquis February 2, 2020

Combining Algorithms with NLTK

In this section we combine the classifiers from previous steps into a voting classifier that will give an aggregated confidence level. Each algorithm gets one vote, and the classification that has the votes votes is the chosen one.

To do this we’ll import the modules we need:-

from nltk.classify import ClassifierI
from statistics import mode # to allow us to add up and compare votes

Next build a VoteClassifier class:-

 

class VoteClassifier(ClassifierI):
    def __init__(self, *classifiers):
        self._classifiers = classifiers
    
    def classify(self, features):
        votes = []
        for c in self._classifiers:
            v = c.classify(features)
            votes.append(v)
        return mode(votes)
    
    def confidence(self, features):
        votes = []
        for c in self._classifiers:
            v = c.classify(features)
            votes.append(v)

        choice_votes = votes.count(mode(votes))
        conf = choice_votes / len(votes)
        return conf

And then combine it all:-

import nltk

Scikit-Learn Sklearn

The Scikit-learn (sklearn) module adds a bunch of other classifiers as well as machine learning algorithms – so although NLTK has Naive Bayes algorithms it’s straight forward to incorporate others from SciKit Learn.

As with most Python modules this involves importing the various parts before using them.

To import:-

from nltk.classify.scikitlearn import SklearnClassifier
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB, GaussianNB, BernoulliNB
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression, SGDClassifier
from sklearn.svm    import SVC, LinearSVC, NuSVC

Then using the classifiers:-

## Multinomial Naive Bayse
MNB_classifier = SklearnClassifier(MultinomialNB())
MNB_classifier.train(training_set)
print("MNB_classifier accuracy:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(MNB_classifier, testing_set))*100)

## Gaussian Naive Bayse
#GNB_classifier = SklearnClassifier(GaussianNB())
#GNB_classifier.train(training_set)
#print("GNB_classifier accuracy:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(GNB_classifier, testing_set))*100)

## Bernoulli Naive Bayse
BNB_classifier = SklearnClassifier(BernoulliNB())
BNB_classifier.train(training_set)
print("BNB_classifier accuracy:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(BNB_classifier, testing_set))*100)

LogisticRegression_classifier = SklearnClassifier(LogisticRegression())
LogisticRegression_classifier.train(training_set)
print("LogisticRegression_classifier accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(LogisticRegression_classifier, testing_set))*100)

SGDClassifier_classifier = SklearnClassifier(SGDClassifier())
SGDClassifier_classifier.train(training_set)
print("SGDClassifier_classifier accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(SGDClassifier_classifier, testing_set))*100)

SVC_classifier = SklearnClassifier(SVC())
SVC_classifier.train(training_set)
print("SVC_classifier accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(SVC_classifier, testing_set))*100)

LinearSVC_classifier = SklearnClassifier(LinearSVC())
LinearSVC_classifier.train(training_set)
print("LinearSVC_classifier accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(LinearSVC_classifier, testing_set))*100)

NuSVC_classifier = SklearnClassifier(NuSVC())
NuSVC_classifier.train(training_set)
print("NuSVC_classifier accuracy percent:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(NuSVC_classifier, testing_set))*100)

This gives a range of different views on +ve/-ve and the next section will focus on a voting system for these.

Pickle – saving trained classifiers

Once a classifier has been trained it’s often quicker in the long run to save the algorithm for re-use later, rather than training it each and every time.

Script to Save the classifier:-

save_classifier = open("naivebayes.pickle","wb")
pickle.dump(classifier, save_classifier)
save_classifier.close()

Script to load the classifier once pickled:-

classifier_f = open("naivebayes.pickle", "rb")
classifier = pickle.load(classifier_f)
classifier_f.close()

import nltk
import random
import pickle
from nltk.corpus import movie_reviews

documents = [(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)
             for category in movie_reviews.categories()
             for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category)]

random.shuffle(documents)

all_words = []
for w in movie_reviews.words():
    all_words.append(w.lower()) # normalise everything to lower case and append

all_words = nltk.FreqDist(all_words) # converts to a nltk frequency distribution

word_features = list (all_words.keys())[:3000] # from the frequency list we're taking just the words(keys) and only the top 3000

def find_fetures(document):
    words = set(document) # this gives a list of the unique words - removes duplicates
    features = {} # declare an empty dictionary
    for w in word_features:
        features[w] = (w in words) # this checks each word in the top 3000 to see if it is present in the passed text 'document' so gives a true/false against the 3000
    return features

# print((find_fetures(movie_reviews.words('neg/cv000_29416.txt'))))

featuresets = [(find_fetures(rev), category) for (rev, category) in documents]

training_set = featuresets[:1900] # splits the featuresets into two seperate groups 1 to train and the other to test
testing_set = featuresets[1900:]

## Naive Bayse Algorythm

# classifier = nltk.NaiveBayesClassifier.train(training_set) # training the NaiveBayesClassifier on training data commented out once naivebayes.pickle is generated
classifier_f = open("naivebayes.pickle","rb")
classifer = pickle.load(classifier_f)
classifier_f.close()

print("Naive Bayes Algo accuracy:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(classifier, testing_set))*100)
classifier.show_most_informative_features(15) # tells most popular words on both sides and if +ve or -ve

## Pickle allows you to save python obects and import them later
# save_classifier = open("naivebayes.pickle","wb") # commented out once naivebayes.pickle has been generated
# pickle.dump(classifier, save_classifier)
# save_classifier.close()

Naive Bayes

This section builds on the last 2 tutorials to choose an algorithm, separate the data into training and testing sets – and set it running.

The algorithm in this example is the Naive Bayes classifier.

But first the data needs to be split into training and test sets for some supervised machine learning. In essence we show the machine data, and telling it “this data is positive,” or “this data is negative.” Then, after the training is done, we show the machine some new data and ask the computer what the computer thinks the category of the new data is.

import nltk
import random
from nltk.corpus import movie_reviews

documents = [(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)
             for category in movie_reviews.categories()
             for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category)]

random.shuffle(documents)

all_words = []
for w in movie_reviews.words():
    all_words.append(w.lower()) # normalise everything to lower case and append

all_words = nltk.FreqDist(all_words) # converts to a nltk frequency distribution

word_features = list (all_words.keys())[:3000] # from the frequency list we're taking just the words(keys) and only the top 3000

def find_fetures(document):
    words = set(document) # this gives a list of the unique words - removes duplicates
    features = {} # declare an empty dictionary
    for w in word_features:
        features[w] = (w in words) # this checks each word in the top 3000 to see if it is present in the passed text 'document' so gives a true/false against the 3000
    return features

# print((find_fetures(movie_reviews.words('neg/cv000_29416.txt'))))

featuresets = [(find_fetures(rev), category) for (rev, category) in documents]

training_set = featuresets[:1900] # splits the featuresets into two seperate groups 1 to train and the other to test
testing_set = featuresets[1900:]

## Naive Bayse Algorythm

classifier = nltk.NaiveBayesClassifier.train(training_set) # training the NaiveBayesClassifier on training data
print("Naive Bayes Algo accuracy:", (nltk.classify.accuracy(classifier, testing_set))*100)
classifier.show_most_informative_features(15) # tells most popular words on both sides and if +ve or -ve

Words as Features for Learning

In order to apply some machine learning to the algorithm we need to identify features in the date (word).

This section covers compiling feature lists from positive and negative  reviews, to hopefully see trends.

import nltk
import random
from nltk.corpus import movie_reviews

documents = [(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)
             for category in movie_reviews.categories()
             for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category)]

random.shuffle(documents)

all_words = []
for w in movie_reviews.words():
    all_words.append(w.lower()) # normalise everything to lower case and append

all_words = nltk.FreqDist(all_words) # converts to a nltk frequency distribution

word_features = list (all_words.keys())[:3000] # from the frequency list we're taking just the words(keys) and only the top 3000

def find_fetures(document):
    words = set(document) # this gives a list of the unique words - removes duplicates
    features = {} # declare an empty dictionary
    for w in word_features:
        features[w] = (w in words) # this checks each word in the top 3000 to see if it is present in the passed text 'document' so gives a true/false against the 3000
    return features

print((find_fetures(movie_reviews.words('neg/cv000_29416.txt'))))

featuresets = [(find_fetures(rev), category) for (rev, category) in documents]

Text Classification

The step on from looking at words and how words relate to each other, is to broaden out to classifying sections of text. Classification can be focused on identifying what a piece of text is about (e.g. politics, the military etc) or as simple as identifying if some text is spam or not spam – for comment/email filters.

import nltk
import random
from nltk.corpus import movie_reviews

documents = [(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)
             for category in movie_reviews.categories()
             for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category)]

random.shuffle(documents)

print(documents[1])

all_words = []
for w in movie_reviews.words():
    all_words.append(w.lower()) # normalise everything to lower case and append

all_words = nltk.FreqDist(all_words) # converts to a nltk frequency distribution
print(all_words.most_common(15)) # top 15 most common
print(all_words["stupid"]) # shows the frequency of a specific word

The first key piece of code is defining ‘documents’.

documents = [(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)
for category in movie_reviews.categories()
for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category)]

This uses the list() constructor to iterate through the movie_reviews and create a tuple. 

However, this is easier to see when broken down into multiple lines:-

documents = [] # declare the list
for category in movie_reviews.categories():
    for fileid in movie_reviews.fileids(category):
        documents.append(list(movie_reviews.words(fileid)), category)

Next we shuffle the documents as we don’t want to train and test on the same data.

So the principal being used is to take all of the words from all of the reviews and compile them to find out the most popular words and whether they appear in positive or negative reviews. Then when we look at a new review we can test what words appear and determine if they are more positive or negative….onto the next tutorial.

Wordnet

WordNet is a lexical database for the English language, created by Princeton, and is part of the NLTK corpus.

WordNet can be used alongside NLTK to find the meanings of words, synonyms, antonyms, context, etc.

Below is an example of calling various aspects of Synsets for the word program:-

from nltk.corpus import wordnet

syns = wordnet.synsets("program")
print(syns)

print(syns[0])
#synset 0
print(syns[0].name())

# just the word
print(syns[0].lemmas()[0].name())

# definition
print(syns[0].definition())

# examples
print(syns[0].examples())

So Synsets has a number of entries for ‘program’:-

  • [Synset(‘plan.n.01’
  • Synset(‘program.n.02’)
  • Synset(‘broadcast.n.02’)
  • Synset(‘platform.n.02’)
  • Synset(‘program.n.05’)
  • Synset(‘course_of_study.n.01’)
  • Synset(‘program.n.07’)
  • Synset(‘program.n.08’),
  • Synset(‘program.v.01’),
  • Synset(‘program.v.02’)]

All relating to different meanings for ‘program’.

Once a Synset is selected its Lemma, definition or examples can be accessed.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Synsets can also be used to generate Synonyms and Antonyms for a given word, in the below example “Good”…

from nltk.corpus import wordnet

synonyms = [] #declare an empty list
antonyms = [] #declare an empty list

for syn in wordnet.synsets("good"):
    for lemma in syn.lemmas():
        synonyms.append(lemma.name())
        if lemma.antonyms():
            antonyms.append(lemma.antonyms()[0].name())

print("Synonyms",set(synonyms))
print("Antonyms",set(antonyms))

Giving the output:-

Synonyms {‘respectable’, ‘salutary’, ‘effective’, ‘dependable’, ‘thoroughly’, ‘beneficial’, ‘unspoilt’, ‘secure’, ‘good’, ‘skilful’, ‘in_effect’, ‘well’, ‘dear’, ‘undecomposed’, ‘serious’, ‘soundly’, ‘goodness’, ‘practiced’, ‘honorable’, ‘safe’, ‘expert’, ‘in_force’, ‘honest’, ‘sound’, ‘full’, ‘trade_good’, ‘skillful’, ‘ripe’, ‘upright’, ‘just’, ‘right’, ‘estimable’, ‘near’, ‘adept’, ‘unspoiled’, ‘proficient’, ‘commodity’}

Antonyms {‘evilness’, ‘evil’, ‘badness’, ‘ill’, ‘bad’}

Semantic similarities

WordNet can also be used to compare the similarity of two words and their tenses, by using the Wu and Palmer method for semantic comparison.

from nltk.corpus import wordnet

w1 = wordnet.synset("ship.n.01") # word.(n)oun.(1)st_occurance
w2 = wordnet.synset("boat.n.01")
print(w1.wup_similarity(w2)) # apllying the Wu &amp; Palmer method

w1 = wordnet.synset("ship.n.01") # word.(n)oun.(1)st_occurance
w2 = wordnet.synset("car.n.01")
print(w1.wup_similarity(w2)) # apllying the Wu &amp; Palmer method

w1 = wordnet.synset("ship.n.01") # word.(n)oun.(1)st_occurance
w2 = wordnet.synset("cat.n.01")
print(w1.wup_similarity(w2)) # apllying the Wu &amp; Palmer method

Lemmatizing

Lemmatizing is very similar to stemming with the key difference being that lemmatizing ends up at a real word.

from nltk.stem import WordNetLemmatizer

lemmatizer = WordNetLemmatizer()
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("cats"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("cacti"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("geese"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("rocks"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("python"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("better", pos="a"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("best", pos="a"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("run"))
print(lemmatizer.lemmatize("run",'v'))

Gives the output:-

galiquis@raspberrypi:$ python3 ./nltk_tutorial8.py
cat
cactus
goose
rock
python
good
best
run
run

Some points to note:-

  • Lemmatize takes part of the POS parameter/tag so:-
    • pos=”a”or ‘a’ will find the closest adjective
    • pos=”v” or ‘v’ will find the closest verb
    • the default (no option) finds the closest noun
  • More powerful than stemming

Named Entity Recognition

A key method for chunking in natural language processing is called “Named Entity Recognition.” The concept being to have the code identify and pull out “entities” like people, places, things, locations, monetary figures, and more.

NE Type and Examples
ORGANIZATION – Georgia-Pacific Corp., WHO
PERSON – Eddy Bonte, President Obama
LOCATION – Murray River, Mount Everest
DATE – June, 2008-06-29
TIME – two fifty a m, 1:30 p.m.
MONEY – 175 million Canadian Dollars, GBP 10.40
PERCENT – twenty pct, 18.75 %
FACILITY – Washington Monument, Stonehenge
GPE – South East Asia, Midlothian

import nltk
from nltk.corpus import state_union
from nltk.tokenize import PunktSentenceTokenizer

train_text = state_union.raw("2005-GWBush.txt")
sample_text = state_union.raw("2006-GWBush.txt")

custom_sent_tokenizer = PunktSentenceTokenizer(train_text)

tokenized = custom_sent_tokenizer.tokenize(sample_text)

def process_content():
    try:
        for i in tokenized[5:]:
            words = nltk.word_tokenize(i)
            tagged = nltk.pos_tag(words)
            namedEnt = nltk.ne_chunk(tagged, binary=True)
            namedEnt.draw()
    except Exception as e:
        print(str(e))

process_content()

The key line that applies the entity recognition is:-

namedEnt = nltk.ne_chunk(tagged, binary=True)

Which has two options…

  • binary=True – this means either something is a named entity, or not. There will be no further detail and hits are titled ‘NE’
  • binary=False – this provides detail on the named entity, e.g Facility, Organisation, Person etc 

In the example when Binary is False, it picked up the same tagged items, but split up terms like White House into “White” and “House” as if they were different, whereas in the binary = True option, the named entity recognition was correct to say White House was part of the same named entity.

NLTK’s Named Entity Recognition can be a bit hit and miss leading to a lot of false positives.

Chinking

Chinking is the process of excluding/removing things from Chunks. So there might be items in the Chunk that need to be removed.

This is done by expanding the Chunk code to include }{ brackets that contain the items to be excluded.

Example:-

chunkGram = r"""Chunk: {<.*>+}
                        }<VB.?|IN|DT|TO>+{"""

Chunking

The next step on from knowing the parts speech (with tags) is to group them into meaningful chunks. The chunks are based around a subject (usually a noun – naming word) with the relevant verbs and adverbs associated with it.

To enable chunking regular expressions are employed, mainly:-

  • + = match 1 or more
  • ? = match 0 or 1 repetition
  • * = match 0 or more repetitions
  • . = any character except a new line

Regex cheat-sheet (full) – http://www.rexegg.com/regex-quickstart.html#ref

Regex Cheat Sheet

Identifiers:

\d = any number
\D = anything but a number
\s = space
\S = anything but a space
\w = any letter
\W = anything but a letter
. = any character, except for a new line
\b = space around whole words
\. = period. must use backslash, because . normally means any character.
Modifiers:

{1,3} = for digits, u expect 1-3 counts of digits, or “places”
+ = match 1 or more
? = match 0 or 1 repetitions.
* = match 0 or MORE repetitions
$ = matches at the end of string
^ = matches start of a string
| = matches either/or. Example x|y = will match either x or y
[] = range, or “variance”
{x} = expect to see this amount of the preceding code.
{x,y} = expect to see this x-y amounts of the precedng code
White Space Charts:

\n = new line
\s = space
\t = tab
\e = escape
\f = form feed
\r = carriage return
Characters to REMEMBER TO ESCAPE IF USED!

. + * ? [ ] $ ^ ( ) { } | \
Brackets:

[] = quant[ia]tative = will find either quantitative, or quantatative.
[a-z] = return any lowercase letter a-z
[1-5a-qA-Z] = return all numbers 1-5, lowercase letters a-q and uppercase A-Z
Show more
Show less

The main focus of Chunking is developing the right regular expression to pull together each proper noun (tag: NNP) along with the various types of verb and adverb.

The final expression was:-

r”””Chunk: {<RB.?>*<VB.?>*<NNP>+<NN>?}”””

So breaking this down:-

  • r at the start tells regex to consider the test as raw
  • “”” “”” triple quotes allows the expression to be split over multiple lines for ease of reading
  • Chunk: is the lable that regex will apply to each identified chunk
  • {} contains the detail of needs to be found – the qualifier
  • <> contains the items being searched for
  • <RB.?>* any number of iterations of RB combined with one other character (.?)
  • <VB.?>* any number of iterations of VB combined with one other character (.?)
  • <NNP>+ one or more itterations of a proper noun NNP
  • <NN>? zero or one iteration of singular noun NN

Part of Speech Tagging

Part of Speech Tagging is the process of adding a label to every single word in a text, identifying the type of word it is.

Below is a list of the POS tags and their meaning…

CC coordinating conjunction
CD cardinal digit
DT determiner
EX existential there (like: “there is” … think of it like “there exists”)
FW foreign word
IN preposition/subordinating conjunction
JJ adjective ‘big’
JJR adjective, comparative ‘bigger’
JJS adjective, superlative ‘biggest’
LS list marker 1)
MD modal could, will
NN noun, singular ‘desk’
NNS noun plural ‘desks’
NNP proper noun, singular ‘Harrison’
NNPS proper noun, plural ‘Americans’
PDT predeterminer ‘all the kids’
POS possessive ending parent\’s
PRP personal pronoun I, he, she
PRP$ possessive pronoun my, his, hers
RB adverb very, silently,
RBR adverb, comparative better
RBS adverb, superlative best
RP particle give up
TO to go ‘to’ the store.
UH interjection errrrrrrrm
VB verb, base form take
VBD verb, past tense took
VBG verb, gerund/present participle taking
VBN verb, past participle taken
VBP verb, sing. present, non-3d take
VBZ verb, 3rd person sing. present takes
WDT wh-determiner which
WP wh-pronoun who, what
WP$ possessive wh-pronoun whose
WRB wh-abverb where, when

This time round a different Tokenizer is used – PunktSentenceTokenizer.
This is a machine learning tokenizer which can be trained first on some training data and then applied.

In the example two of GW Bush’s speeches are used: 2005 to train and then that tokenizer applied to the 2006’s speech.

The output of the tokenizer is then passed to POS tag function to create tuples of the words in the speech and the corresponding POS tag.

import nltk
from nltk.corpus import state_union
from nltk.tokenize import PunktSentenceTokenizer

train_text = state_union.raw("2005-GWBush.txt")
sample_text = state_union.raw("2006-GWBush.txt")

custom_sent_tokenizer = PunktSentenceTokenizer(train_text)
tokenized = custom_sent_tokenizer.tokenize(sample_text)

def process_content():
    try:
        for x in tokenized[:5]:
            words = nltk.word_tokenize(x)
            tagged = nltk.pos_tag(words)
            print(tagged)

    except Exception as e:
        print(str(e))

process_content()

Note: tokenized[:5] limits the example to only a few lines of the speech

Giving the output….

Stemming

Stemming is the process of reducing words to their root forms, mapping a group of words to the same stem even if the stem itself is not a valid word in the Language.
Example:-

  • riding -> rid
  • riden -> rid
  • ride -> rid
  • rides -> rid

Stem (root) is the part of the word to which you add inflectional (changing/deriving) affixes such as (-ed,-ize, -s,-de,mis).
Stemmers remove these morphological affixes from words, leaving only the word stem – which may result in words that are not actual words. 

In NLTK there are multiple stemmers, examples being Porter, Porter2, Paice-Husk, and Lovins.

In the tutorial Porter is used, first to demonstrate the basic function on a list of words.

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

ps = PorterStemmer()

example_words = ["pyhton","pythoner","pyhtoning","pythoned","pythonly"]

for x in example_words:
    print (ps.stem(x))

Giving an output of:-

galiquis@raspberrypi: $ python3 ./nltk_tutorial3.py
pyhton
python
pyhton
python
pythonli

It can also be used to stem words in a sentence, using tokenize to pull the sentence into individual words.

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

ps = PorterStemmer()

new_text = "It is very important to be pythonly while you are pythoning with python. All pythoners have pythoned poorly at least once"
words = word_tokenize(new_text)
for x in words:
    print(ps.stem(x))

Giving an output of:-

galiquis@raspberrypi: $ python3 ./nltk_tutorial3.py

Stop words

Part 2 focuses on Stop words, those little structural words that humans rely on to make sense of a sentence but which just get in the way of algorithmic analysis. Words such as: a, is, the, it….etc

First we import from Corpus a list of predefined stop words, which using print(stopwords) shows:-

{‘whom’, ‘through’, ‘y’, “hadn’t”, ‘while’, ‘they’, ‘some’, ‘into’, ‘you’, ‘how’, ‘too’, ‘until’, ‘ourselves’, “should’ve”, ‘me’, ‘a’, ‘wouldn’, ‘or’, ‘yours’, ‘ve’, ‘themselves’, “you’ve”, ‘nor’, ‘so’, ‘not’, ‘haven’, ‘those’, ‘needn’, ‘didn’, ‘was’, ‘she’, ‘is’, ‘because’, ‘once’, ‘did’, ‘from’, ‘don’, ‘mustn’, ‘own’, ‘myself’, ‘doing’, ‘have’, “won’t”,
‘wasn’, ‘few’, ‘during’, ‘aren’, ‘out’, ‘having’, ‘both’, ‘who’, ‘all’, ‘d’, ‘which’, ‘for’, ‘if’, ‘her’, ‘any’, “don’t”, ‘won’, ‘between’, ‘your’, ‘ain’, ‘mightn’, “mustn’t”, “you’ll”, ‘hers’, ‘am’, ‘this’, ‘does’, ‘are’, ‘before’, ‘most’, ‘what’, ‘after’, “wouldn’t”, ‘we’, ‘re’, ‘isn’, ‘yourselves’, ‘down’, ‘it’, ‘our’, ‘he’, “shouldn’t”, ‘o’, ‘were’, ‘been’, ‘there’, “isn’t”, ‘but’, ‘yourself’, ‘other’, “couldn’t”, ‘again’, ‘herself’, “mightn’t”, ‘to’, ‘their’, ‘i’, ‘when’, ‘hasn’, “doesn’t”, “needn’t”, ‘same’, ‘m’, ‘its’, “haven’t”, “weren’t”, ‘an’, ‘had’, ‘weren’, ‘shan’, ‘against’, “aren’t”, ‘will’, “you’re”, ‘the’, ‘my’, ‘him’, ‘himself’, ‘s’, ‘ll’, ‘of’, ‘ours’, ‘in’, ‘itself’, ‘about’, ‘as’, ‘than’, ‘couldn’, “shan’t”, “hasn’t”, ‘theirs’, ‘just’, ‘where’, ‘be’, ‘with’, ‘why’, ‘below’, ‘now’, ‘off’, ‘up’, ‘each’, ‘only’, ‘here’, ‘further’, ‘shouldn’, “wasn’t”, ‘on’, “didn’t”, “you’d”, ‘do’, ‘no’, ‘more’, ‘over’, ‘can’, ‘that’, ‘being’, ‘such’, ‘by’, ‘at’, “that’ll”, ‘above’, ‘ma’, “it’s”, ‘should’, ‘these’, ‘has’, “she’s”, ‘very’, ‘t’, ‘under’, ‘them’, ‘doesn’, ‘then’, ‘his’, ‘and’, ‘hadn’}

Then using word_tokenise and a for loop we remove the stop words.

Example code:-

from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

example_sentence = "This is an example showing off stop word filtration"
stop_words = set(stopwords.words("english"))

words = word_tokenize(example_sentence)
filtered_sentence = []

for x in words:
    if x not in stop_words:
        filtered_sentence.append(x)

print(filtered_sentence)

The for loop can be combined into one line of code but it’s not as easy to follow:-

filtered_sentence = [w for w in words if not w in stop_words]

Straight forward way of removing noise from the word lists.

Installation & Tokenizing

So to learn about sentiment analysis I’m initially going to be working through a series of tutorials by Sentdex on YouTube.

The main focus on this was installing the Natural Language Tool Kit, which unlike a lot of python libraries also requires you to download extensions. (…if that’s the right term?)

Numpy install woes

galiquis January 25, 2020

Recently I’ve started a project to look at tracking stocks combined with  company sentiment – utilising Python running on a little Raspberry Pi. I’ll link to the detailed project posts at a later point.

Anyway the first hurdle I’ve hit was getting NumPy to install correctly with the usual pip install giving the following error when NumPy is called…

ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you’re working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Original error was: libf77blas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

—————————————-
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel /tmp/tmpumibpogm Check the logs for full command output.

I tried a couple of things to fix this…

  1. Repeating the install and specifying the upgrade flag.
    sudo pip3 install -U numpy
    Note -U = –upgrade
  2. Uninstalling and re-installing NumPy and Setuptools.
    sudo pip3 uninstall -y numpy
    sudo pip3 uninstall -y setuptools
    sudo pip3 install -U setuptools
    sudo pip3 install -U numpy
    Note -y = –yes Don’t ask for confirmation of uninstall deletions.
  3. The uninstall of NumPy didn’t work so I moved to apt-get:-
    sudo apt-get remove python-numpy
    Which did the trick…

But to know avail.
So after a little light browsing I came up with an answer – not all of the NumPy dependencies had been installed. Ineed to run 

sudo apt-get install python-dev libatlas-base-dev

Which then allowed NumPy to be reinstalled and worked a treat.
