我正在做一些行为分析,我会随着时间的推移跟踪行为,然后创建这些行为的 n-gram。

sample_n_gram_list = [['scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch'],
                      ['scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch', 'smell/sniff'],
                      ['scratch', 'scratch', 'scratch', 'sit', 'stand']]

我希望能够对这些 n-gram 进行聚类,但我需要使用自定义指标创建一个预先计算的距离矩阵。我的指标似乎工作正常,但是当我尝试使用 sklearn 函数创建距离矩阵时,出现错误:

ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'scratch'

我查看了文档https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.pairwise_distances.html,关于这个主题并不是特别清楚。

任何熟悉如何正确使用它的人?

那是因为pairwise_distancesin sklearn 被设计用于数值数组(这样所有不同的内置距离函数都可以正常工作),但是您正在向它传递一个字符串列表。如果您可以将字符串转换为数字(将字符串编码为特定数字)然后传递它,它将正常工作。

一种快速的 numpy 方法是:

# Get all the unique strings in the input data
uniques = np.unique(sample_n_gram_list)
# Output:
# array(['scratch', 'sit', 'smell/sniff', 'stand'])

# Encode the strings to numbers according to the indices in "uniques" array
X = np.searchsorted(uniques, sample_n_gram_list)

# Output:
# array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],    <= scratch is assigned 0, sit = 1 and so on
         [0, 0, 0, 0, 2],
         [0, 0, 0, 1, 3]])


# Now this works
distance_matrix = pairwise_distances(X, metric=get_levenshtein_distance)

# Output
# array([[0., 1., 2.],
         [1., 0., 2.],
         [2., 2., 0.]])
