  • Build the vectorizer and make sure to specify the following parameters: the size of the vocabulary should be limited to 1000, include only bigrams, and ignore terms that appear in more than 500 documents.
  • Fit the vectorizer to the review column.
  • Create a DataFrame from the BOW representation.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

#Import the vectorizer
from sklearn.____.____ import ____

# Build the vectorizer, specify max features and fit
vect = ____(____=1000, ____=(2, 2), ____=500)
vect.____(reviews.review)

# Transform the review
X_review = vect.transform(reviews.review)

# Create a DataFrame from the bow representation
X_df = pd.DataFrame(X_review.____, columns=____._____)
print(X_df.head())
