TensorFlow word embedding model LDA Negative values in data passed to LatentDirichletAllocation.fi-CodePudding

I am trying to use a pre-trained model from TensorFlow hub instead of frequency vectorization techniques for word embedding before passing the resultant feature vector to the LDA model.

I followed the steps for the TensorFlow model, but I got this error upon passing the resultant feature vector to the LDA model:

Negative values in data passed to LatentDirichletAllocation.fit

Here's what I have implemented so far:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tensorflow_hub as hub

from sklearn.decomposition import LatentDirichletAllocation

embed = hub.load("https://tfhub.dev/google/tf2-preview/nnlm-en-dim50-with-normalization/1")
embeddings = embed(["cat is on the mat", "dog is in the fog"])
lda_model = LatentDirichletAllocation(n_components=2, max_iter=50)
lda = lda_model.fit_transform(embeddings)

I realized that print(embeddings) prints some negative values as shown below:

tf.Tensor(
[[ 0.16589954  0.0254965   0.1574857   0.17688066  0.02911299 -0.03092718

But, is there a solution to this?

CodePudding user response：

As the fit function of LatentDirichletAllocation does not allow a negative array, I will recommend you to apply softplus on the embeddings.

Here is the code snippet:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tensorflow_hub as hub
from tensorflow.math import softplus

from sklearn.decomposition import LatentDirichletAllocation

embed = hub.load("https://tfhub.dev/google/tf2-preview/nnlm-en-dim50-with-normalization/1")
embeddings = softplus(embed(["cat is on the mat", "dog is in the fog"]))

lda_model = LatentDirichletAllocation(n_components=2, max_iter=50)
lda = lda_model.fit_transform(embeddings)
