我有大约一千个潜在的调查项目作为字符串向量,我想减少到几百个。通常,当我们谈论数据减少时,我们有实际数据。我将项目管理给参与者并使用因子分析,PCA或其他一些降维方法。
就我而言,我没有任何数据。只是项目(即文本字符串)。我想通过消除具有相似含义的项目来减少集合。据推测,如果实际给予参与者,他们将是高度相关的。
我一直在阅读有关文本分析的聚类方法。这个SO question演示了我在不同的例子中看到过的方法。 OP指出,群集解决方案并不能完全回答他/她的问题。以下是在我的案例中如何应用(令人不满意):
# get data (2 columns, 152 rows)
带有样本项的dput()的
# clustering
library(tm)
library(Matrix)
x <- TermDocumentMatrix( Corpus( VectorSource(text$item) ) )
y <- sparseMatrix( i=x$i, j=x$j, x=x$v, dimnames = dimnames(x) )
plot( hclust(dist(t(y))) )
该图显示项目145和149是聚类的:
145“让你知道你不被通缉”
149“让你知道他爱你”
这些项目共享相同的词干,“让你知道”,这可能是聚类的原因。在语义上,它们是对立的。
OP与他/她的例子有类似的挑战。一位意见提供者指出wordnet
包是一种可能的解决方案。
问题(根据反馈进行编辑)
如何阻止像145和149这样的项目进行聚类,因为它们共享词干?
关注程序性较少的次要问题:有人在这里看到更好的解决方案吗?我遇到的许多方法都涉及监督学习,测试/训练数据集和分类。我相信我正在寻找的是更多的语义相似性/聚类(例如,FAC pdf)。

的建议你应该尝试的另一个选择是从bigrams而不是unigrams制作你的学期文档矩阵。如果你对短语感兴趣,那么bigrams就是一个好的开始。我有一个有效的例子here。
以下是将停用词删除与双字母组合相结合的实例。通过此示例,您可以使用不同的参数值进行迭代,以获得对您来说最合理的聚类。

现在制作一个双字母组合,然后删除包含停用词的双字母......
library("RWeka")
library("tm")
library("Matrix")
BigramTokenizer <- function(x) NGramTokenizer(x, Weka_control(min = 2, max = 2))
x <- TermDocumentMatrix(Corpus(VectorSource(text$item)), control = list(tokenize = BigramTokenizer))
# little bit of regex to remove bigrams with stopwords in them, cf. https://stackoverflow.com/a/6947724/1036500
stpwrds <- paste(stopwords("en"), collapse = "|")
x$dimnames$Terms[!grepl(stpwrds, x$dimnames$Terms)]
[1] "cold spells" "else s" "feel free" "feel proud" [5] "feel unloved" "feels free" "lost sleep"
使用tm
包附带的停用词库存列表删除bigrams的快速测试表明它只留下了8个双域!显然,我们需要一个较小的禁用词列表,所以让我们通过找到这个特定语料库中最常用的单词并删除它们来制作一个自定义列表。
# find freq words in corpus
x <- TermDocumentMatrix(Corpus(VectorSource(text$item)))
# arbitrary choice of 10 occurances = hi freq
mystopwords <- findFreqTerms(x, 10, Inf)
您应该尝试使用lowfreq值,我在尝试了几个之后将其设置为10,但其他值可能更好。
# try to filter the bigrams again with custom stopword list
x <- TermDocumentMatrix(Corpus(VectorSource(text$item)), control = list(tokenize = BigramTokenizer))
# little bit of regex to remove bigrams with mystopwords in them, cf. https://stackoverflow.com/a/6947724/1036500
mystpwrds <- paste(mystopwords, collapse = "|")
# subset tdm to keep only bigrams remaining after mystopwords removed
x <- x[x$dimnames$Terms[!grepl(mystpwrds, x$dimnames$Terms)],]
y <- sparseMatrix( i=x$i, j=x$j, x=x$v, dimnames = dimnames(x) )
plot( hclust(dist(t(y))) )
但这有点难以阅读,所以让我们这样打印出小组成员
hc <- hclust(dist(t(y)))

我们看到我们在不同的组中有第145行和第149行。这是否是一个好的答案很难说,因为你没有指定你想要的输出应该是什么。这就是你得到亲密选票的原因,很难从你的问题中推断出一个好的答案(更具体地说,问题是你要求:“推荐或找到一个工具,库或最喜欢的场外资源”,这导致那些有争议的答案),SO人群似乎更喜欢所需输出的具体例子。您可以在新data science stack exchange site处尝试提问。
