Dissimilarity calculation of text documents

TEXT_DOC_DISSIM(
  first_matr = NULL,
  second_matr = NULL,
  method = "euclidean",
  batches = NULL,
  threads = 1,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

first_matr	a numeric matrix where each row represents a text document ( has same dimensions as the second_matr )
second_matr	a numeric matrix where each row represents a text document ( has same dimensions as the first_matr )
method	a dissimilarity metric in form of a character string. One of euclidean, manhattan, chebyshev, canberra, braycurtis, pearson_correlation, cosine, simple_matching_coefficient, hamming, jaccard_coefficient, Rao_coefficient
batches	a numeric value specifying the number of batches
threads	a numeric value specifying the number of cores to run in parallel
verbose	either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE then information will be printed in the console

Value

a numeric vector

Details

Row-wise dissimilarity calculation of text documents. The text document sequences should be converted to numeric matrices using for instance LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). If the numeric matrices are too big to be pre-processed, then one should use the batches parameter to split the data in batches before applying one of the dissimilarity metrics. For parallelization (threads) OpenMP will be used.

Examples


if (FALSE) {

library(textTinyR)


# example input LSI matrices (see details section)
#-------------------------------------------------

set.seed(1)
LSI_matrix1 = matrix(runif(10000), 100, 100)

set.seed(2)
LSI_matrix2 = matrix(runif(10000), 100, 100)


txt_out = TEXT_DOC_DISSIM(first_matr = LSI_matrix1,

                          second_matr = LSI_matrix2, 'euclidean')
}
