Organizing transcribed phone call data

We're almost ready to build a text classifier. But right now, all of our transcribed text data is in two lists, pre_purchase_text and post_purchase_text.

To organize it better for building a text classifier as well as for future use, we'll put it together into a pandas DataFrame.

To start we'll import pandas as pd then we'll create a post purchase dataframe, post_purchase_df using pd.DataFrame().

We'll pass pd.DataFrame() a dictionary containing a "label" key with a value of "post_purchase" and a "text" key with a value of our post_purchase_text list.

We'll do the same for pre_purchase_df except with pre_purchase_text.

To have all the data in one place, we'll use pd.concat() and pass it the pre and post purchase DataFrames.

Exercise instructions

  • Create post_purchase_df using the post_purchase_text list.
  • Create pre_purchase_df using the pre_purchase_text list.
  • Combine the two DataFrames using pd.concat().

Hands-on interactive exercise

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

import pandas as pd

# Make dataframes with the text
post_purchase_df = pd.DataFrame({"label": "post_purchase",
                                 "text": ____})
pre_purchase_df = pd.____({"label": "pre_purchase",
                                "text": ____})

# Combine DataFrames
df = pd.____([post_purchase_df, pre_purchase_df])

# Print the combined DataFrame
print(df.head())
