Visualizing word frequencies
Now that you've computed the most frequent words with and without stop words, it's time to visualize the differences. In this exercise, you'll use matplotlib to plot bar charts for both cases.
The following lists have been pre-loaded for you: top_words_without_stopwords, top_counts_without_stopwords, top_words_with_stopwords, top_counts_with_stopwords.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python
Exercise instructions
- Use
plt.bar()to plot the top 10 word frequencies with stop words. - Use
plt.bar()to plot the top 10 word frequencies without stop words.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Plot the frequencies with stop words
plt.bar(____, ____)
plt.title("Top 10 word frequencies (with stop words)")
plt.xlabel("Words")
plt.ylabel("Frequency")
plt.show()
# Plot the frequencies without stop words
plt.figure()
plt.bar(____, ____)
plt.title("Top 10 word frequencies (without stop words)")
plt.xlabel("Words")
plt.ylabel("Frequency")
plt.show()
