Here is my code :
data = pd.read_csv('asscsv2.csv', encoding = "ISO-8859-1", error_bad_lines=False);
data_text = data[['content']]
data_text['index'] = data_text.index
documents = data_text
It looks like
print(documents[:2])
content index

And I define a preprocess function by using gensim
stemmer = PorterStemmer()
def lemmatize_stemming(text):
return stemmer.stem(WordNetLemmatizer().lemmatize(text, pos='v'))
def preprocess(text):
result = []
for token in gensim.utils.simple_preprocess(text):
if token not in gensim.parsing.preprocessing.STOPWORDS and len(token) > 3:
result.append(lemmatize_stemming(token))
return result
And when I use this function:
processed_docs = documents['content'].map(preprocess)
It appears
TypeError: decoding to str: need a bytes-like object, float found
How to encode my csv file to byte-like object or how to avoid this kind of error?
Your data has NaNs
(not a number).
You can either drop them first:
documents = documents.dropna(subset=['content'])
Or, you can fill all NaNs
with an empty string, convert the column to string type and then map your string based function.
documents['content'].fillna('').astype(str).map(preprocess)
This is because your function preprocess has function calls that accept string only data type.
Edit:
How do I know that your data contains NaNs? Numpy nan are considered float values
>>> import numpy as np
>>> type(np.nan)
<class 'float'>
