sklearn.feature_extraction.text
.CountVectorizer¶
- class sklearn.feature_extraction.text.CountVectorizer(*, input='content', encoding='utf-8', decode_error='strict', strip_accents=None, lowercase=True, preprocessor=None, tokenizer=None, stop_words=None, token_pattern='(?u)\\b\\w\\w+\\b', ngram_range=(1, 1), analyzer='word', max_df=1.0, min_df=1, max_features=None, vocabulary=None, binary=False, dtype=<class 'numpy.int64'>)[source]¶
Convert a collection of text documents to a matrix of token counts.
This implementation produces a sparse representation of the counts using scipy.sparse.csr_matrix.
If you do not provide an a-priori dictionary and you do not use an analyzer that does some kind of feature selection then the number of features will be equal to the vocabulary size found by analyzing the data.

- Parameters
- input{‘filename’, ‘file’, ‘content’}, default=’content’
If
'filename'
, the sequence passed as an argument to fit is expected to be a list of filenames that need reading to fetch the raw content to analyze.If
'file'
, the sequence items must have a ‘read’ method (file-like object) that is called to fetch the bytes in memory.If
'content'
, the input is expected to be a sequence of items that can be of type string or byte.
- encodingstr, default=’utf-8’
If bytes or files are given to analyze, this encoding is used to decode.
- decode_error{‘strict’, ‘ignore’, ‘replace’}, default=’strict’
Instruction on what to do if a byte sequence is given to analyze that contains characters not of the given
encoding
. By default, it is ‘strict’, meaning that a UnicodeDecodeError will be raised. Other values are ‘ignore’ and ‘replace’.- strip_accents{‘ascii’, ‘unicode’}, default=None
Remove accents and perform other character normalization during the preprocessing step. ‘ascii’ is a fast method that only works on characters that have an direct ASCII mapping. ‘unicode’ is a slightly slower method that works on any characters. None (default) does nothing.
Both ‘ascii’ and ‘unicode’ use NFKD normalization from
unicodedata.normalize
.- lowercasebool, default=True
Convert all characters to lowercase before tokenizing.
- preprocessorcallable, default=None
Override the preprocessing (strip_accents and lowercase) stage while preserving the tokenizing and n-grams generation steps. Only applies if
analyzer
is not callable.- tokenizercallable, default=None
Override the string tokenization step while preserving the preprocessing and n-grams generation steps. Only applies if
analyzer == 'word'
.- stop_words{‘english’}, list, default=None
If ‘english’, a built-in stop word list for English is used. There are several known issues with ‘english’ and you should consider an alternative (see Using stop words).
If a list, that list is assumed to contain stop words, all of which will be removed from the resulting tokens. Only applies if
analyzer == 'word'
.If None, no stop words will be used. max_df can be set to a value in the range [0.7, 1.0) to automatically detect and filter stop words based on intra corpus document frequency of terms.
- token_patternstr, default=r”(?u)\b\w\w+\b”
Regular expression denoting what constitutes a “token”, only used if
analyzer == 'word'
. The default regexp select tokens of 2 or more alphanumeric characters (punctuation is completely ignored and always treated as a token separator).If there is a capturing group in token_pattern then the captured group content, not the entire match, becomes the token. At most one capturing group is permitted.
- ngram_rangetuple (min_n, max_n), default=(1, 1)
The lower and upper boundary of the range of n-values for different word n-grams or char n-grams to be extracted. All values of n such such that min_n <= n <= max_n will be used. For example an
ngram_range
of(1, 1)
means only unigrams,(1, 2)
means unigrams and bigrams, and(2, 2)
means only bigrams. Only applies ifanalyzer
is not callable.- analyzer{‘word’, ‘char’, ‘char_wb’} or callable, default=’word’
Whether the feature should be made of word n-gram or character n-grams. Option ‘char_wb’ creates character n-grams only from text inside word boundaries; n-grams at the edges of words are padded with space.
If a callable is passed it is used to extract the sequence of features out of the raw, unprocessed input.
Changed in version 0.21.
Since v0.21, if
input
isfilename
orfile
, the data is first read from the file and then passed to the given callable analyzer.- max_dffloat in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1.0
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly higher than the given threshold (corpus-specific stop words). If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
- min_dffloat in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly lower than the given threshold. This value is also called cut-off in the literature. If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
- max_featuresint, default=None
If not None, build a vocabulary that only consider the top max_features ordered by term frequency across the corpus.
This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
- vocabularyMapping or iterable, default=None
Either a Mapping (e.g., a dict) where keys are terms and values are indices in the feature matrix, or an iterable over terms. If not given, a vocabulary is determined from the input documents. Indices in the mapping should not be repeated and should not have any gap between 0 and the largest index.
- binarybool, default=False
If True, all non zero counts are set to 1. This is useful for discrete probabilistic models that model binary events rather than integer counts.
- dtypetype, default=np.int64
Type of the matrix returned by fit_transform() or transform().
- Attributes
- vocabulary_dict
A mapping of terms to feature indices.
- fixed_vocabulary_bool
True if a fixed vocabulary of term to indices mapping is provided by the user.
- stop_words_set
Terms that were ignored because they either:
occurred in too many documents (
max_df
)occurred in too few documents (
min_df
)were cut off by feature selection (
max_features
).
This is only available if no vocabulary was given.

Notes
The
stop_words_
attribute can get large and increase the model size when pickling. This attribute is provided only for introspection and can be safely removed using delattr or set to None before pickling.Examples
>>> from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer >>> corpus = [ ... 'This is the first document.', ... 'This document is the second document.', ... 'And this is the third one.', ... 'Is this the first document?', ... ] >>> vectorizer = CountVectorizer() >>> X = vectorizer.fit_transform(corpus) >>> vectorizer.get_feature_names_out() array(['and', 'document', 'first', 'is', 'one', 'second', 'the', 'third', 'this'], ...) >>> print(X.toarray()) [[0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1] [0 2 0 1 0 1 1 0 1] [1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1] [0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1]] >>> vectorizer2 = CountVectorizer(analyzer='word', ngram_range=(2, 2)) >>> X2 = vectorizer2.fit_transform(corpus) >>> vectorizer2.get_feature_names_out() array(['and this', 'document is', 'first document', 'is the', 'is this', 'second document', 'the first', 'the second', 'the third', 'third one', 'this document', 'this is', 'this the'], ...) >>> print(X2.toarray()) [[0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0] [0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0] [1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0] [0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1]]
