Tag vector
A tag vector!
In machine learning and natural language processing, a tag vector is a type of vector representation used to encode categorical labels or tags associated with a piece of text, such as a word, phrase, or sentence.
A tag vector is typically a binary vector, where each element corresponds to a specific tag or label. The elements of the vector are usually set to 1 if the tag is present, and 0 otherwise. For example, if we have a set of tags {A, B, C}, a tag vector for a word "hello" might look like this:
[0, 0, 1] (indicating that the word "hello" is tagged with C)
Tag vectors are often used in various NLP tasks, such as:
- Part-of-speech (POS) tagging: identifying the grammatical category of each word (e.g., noun, verb, adjective).
- Named entity recognition (NER): identifying named entities (e.g., people, organizations, locations).
- Sentiment analysis: identifying the sentiment or emotional tone of a piece of text.
- Text classification: classifying text into predefined categories (e.g., spam vs. non-spam emails).
Tag vectors can be used as input features for machine learning models, such as neural networks, decision trees, or support vector machines. They can also be used to compute similarity between texts or to perform clustering and topic modeling.
