- sklearn.datasets.fetch_20newsgroups(*, data_home=None, subset='train', categories=None, shuffle=True, random_state=42, remove=(), download_if_missing=True, return_X_y=False)[source]¶

- Parameters
- data_homestr, default=None
Specify a download and cache folder for the datasets. If None, all scikit-learn data is stored in ‘~/scikit_learn_data’ subfolders.
- subset{‘train’, ‘test’, ‘all’}, default=’train’
Select the dataset to load: ‘train’ for the training set, ‘test’ for the test set, ‘all’ for both, with shuffled ordering.
- categoriesarray-like, dtype=str, default=None
If None (default), load all the categories. If not None, list of category names to load (other categories ignored).
- shufflebool, default=True
Whether or not to shuffle the data: might be important for models that make the assumption that the samples are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.), such as stochastic gradient descent.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None
Determines random number generation for dataset shuffling. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
- removetuple, default=()
May contain any subset of (‘headers’, ‘footers’, ‘quotes’). Each of these are kinds of text that will be detected and removed from the newsgroup posts, preventing classifiers from overfitting on metadata.
‘headers’ removes newsgroup headers, ‘footers’ removes blocks at the ends of posts that look like signatures, and ‘quotes’ removes lines that appear to be quoting another post.
‘headers’ follows an exact standard; the other filters are not always correct.
- download_if_missingbool, default=True
If False, raise an IOError if the data is not locally available instead of trying to download the data from the source site.
- return_X_ybool, default=False
If True, returns
(data.data, data.target)instead of a Bunch object.New in version 0.22.
- Returns
- bunch
Bunch Dictionary-like object, with the following attributes.
- datalist of shape (n_samples,)
The data list to learn.
- target: ndarray of shape (n_samples,)
The target labels.
- filenames: list of shape (n_samples,)
The path to the location of the data.
- DESCR: str
The full description of the dataset.
- target_names: list of shape (n_classes,)
The names of target classes.
- (data, target)tuple if
return_X_y=True New in version 0.22.
- bunch
