sklearn.decomposition.TruncatedSVD

class sklearn.decomposition.TruncatedSVD(n_components=2, *, algorithm='randomized', n_iter=5, n_oversamples=10, power_iteration_normalizer='auto', random_state=None, tol=0.0)

Dimensionality reduction using truncated SVD (aka LSA).

This transformer performs linear dimensionality reduction by means of truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). Contrary to PCA, this estimator does not center the data before computing the singular value decomposition. This means it can work with sparse matrices efficiently.

In particular, truncated SVD works on term count/tf-idf matrices as returned by the vectorizers in sklearn.feature_extraction.text. In that context, it is known as latent semantic analysis (LSA).

This estimator supports two algorithms: a fast randomized SVD solver, and a “naive” algorithm that uses ARPACK as an eigensolver on X * X.T or X.T * X, whichever is more efficient.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

n_componentsint, default=2

Desired dimensionality of output data. If algorithm=’arpack’, must be strictly less than the number of features. If algorithm=’randomized’, must be less than or equal to the number of features. The default value is useful for visualisation. For LSA, a value of 100 is recommended.

algorithm{‘arpack’, ‘randomized’}, default=’randomized’

SVD solver to use. Either “arpack” for the ARPACK wrapper in SciPy (scipy.sparse.linalg.svds), or “randomized” for the randomized algorithm due to Halko (2009).

n_iterint, default=5

Number of iterations for randomized SVD solver. Not used by ARPACK. The default is larger than the default in randomized_svd to handle sparse matrices that may have large slowly decaying spectrum.

n_oversamplesint, default=10

Number of oversamples for randomized SVD solver. Not used by ARPACK. See randomized_svd for a complete description.

New in version 1.1.

power_iteration_normalizer{‘auto’, ‘QR’, ‘LU’, ‘none’}, default=’auto’

Power iteration normalizer for randomized SVD solver. Not used by ARPACK. See randomized_svd for more details.

New in version 1.1.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Used during randomized svd. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

tolfloat, default=0.0

Tolerance for ARPACK. 0 means machine precision. Ignored by randomized SVD solver.

Attributes:

components_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features)

The right singular vectors of the input data.

explained_variance_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

The variance of the training samples transformed by a projection to each component.

explained_variance_ratio_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components.

singular_values_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

The singular values corresponding to each of the selected components. The singular values are equal to the 2-norms of the n_components variables in the lower-dimensional space.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

New in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

New in version 1.0.

Notes

SVD suffers from a problem called “sign indeterminacy”, which means the sign of the components_ and the output from transform depend on the algorithm and random state. To work around this, fit instances of this class to data once, then keep the instance around to do transformations.

fit(X, y=None)

Fit model on training data X.

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training data.

yIgnored

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.

selfobject

Returns the transformer object.
