Tokenizer#

class pyspark.ml.feature.Tokenizer(*, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)[source]#

A tokenizer that converts the input string to lowercase and then splits it by white spaces.

New in version 1.3.0.

Examples

>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([("a b c",)], ["text"])
>>> tokenizer = Tokenizer(outputCol="words")
>>> tokenizer.setInputCol("text")
Tokenizer...
>>> tokenizer.transform(df).head()
Row(text='a b c', words=['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> # Change a parameter.
>>> tokenizer.setParams(outputCol="tokens").transform(df).head()
Row(text='a b c', tokens=['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> # Temporarily modify a parameter.
>>> tokenizer.transform(df, {tokenizer.outputCol: "words"}).head()
Row(text='a b c', words=['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> tokenizer.transform(df).head()
Row(text='a b c', tokens=['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> # Must use keyword arguments to specify params.
>>> tokenizer.setParams("text")
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: Method setParams forces keyword arguments.
>>> tokenizerPath = temp_path + "/tokenizer"
>>> tokenizer.save(tokenizerPath)
>>> loadedTokenizer = Tokenizer.load(tokenizerPath)
>>> loadedTokenizer.transform(df).head().tokens == tokenizer.transform(df).head().tokens
True

Methods

`clear`(param)	Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
`copy`([extra])	Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.
`explainParam`(param)	Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
`explainParams`()	Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
`extractParamMap`([extra])	Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
`getInputCol`()	Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.
`getOrDefault`(param)	Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.
`getOutputCol`()	Gets the value of outputCol or its default value.
`getParam`(paramName)	Gets a param by its name.
`hasDefault`(param)	Checks whether a param has a default value.
`hasParam`(paramName)	Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.
`isDefined`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
`isSet`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
`load`(path)	Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).
`read`()	Returns an MLReader instance for this class.
`save`(path)	Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of 'write().save(path)'.
`set`(param, value)	Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
`setInputCol`(value)	Sets the value of `inputCol`.
`setOutputCol`(value)	Sets the value of `outputCol`.
`setParams`(self, \*[, inputCol, outputCol])	Sets params for this Tokenizer.
`transform`(dataset[, params])	Transforms the input dataset with optional parameters.
`write`()	Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes

`inputCol`
`outputCol`
`params`	Returns all params ordered by name.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)#: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)#

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

JavaParams: Copy of this instance

explainParam(param)#: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()#: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)#

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

getInputCol()#: Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

getOrDefault(param)#: Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getOutputCol()#: Gets the value of outputCol or its default value.

getParam(paramName)#: Gets a param by its name.

hasDefault(param)#: Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName)#: Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isSet(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

classmethod load(path)#: Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

classmethod read()#: Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path)#: Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)#: Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setInputCol(value)[source]#: Sets the value of inputCol.

setOutputCol(value)[source]#: Sets the value of outputCol.

setParams(self, \*, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)[source]#: Sets params for this Tokenizer.

New in version 1.3.0.

transform(dataset, params=None)#

Transforms the input dataset with optional parameters.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset
paramsdict, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params.

Returns

pyspark.sql.DataFrame: transformed dataset

write()#: Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes Documentation

inputCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='inputCol', doc='input column name.')#

outputCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='outputCol', doc='output column name.')#

params#: Returns all params ordered by name. The default implementation uses dir() to get all attributes of type Param.

uid#: A unique id for the object.
