RCV1 dataset
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Reuters Corpus Volume I (RCV1) is an archive of over 800,000 manually
|
|
categorized newswire stories made available by Reuters, Ltd. for research
|
|
purposes. The dataset is extensively described in [1]_.
|
|
|
|
**Data Set Characteristics:**
|
|
|
|
============== =====================
|
|
Classes 103
|
|
Samples total 804414
|
|
Dimensionality 47236
|
|
Features real, between 0 and 1
|
|
============== =====================
|
|
|
|
:func:`sklearn.datasets.fetch_rcv1` will load the following
|
|
version: RCV1-v2, vectors, full sets, topics multilabels::
|
|
|
|
>>> from sklearn.datasets import fetch_rcv1
|
|
>>> rcv1 = fetch_rcv1()
|
|
|
|
It returns a dictionary-like object, with the following attributes:
|
|
|
|
``data``:
|
|
The feature matrix is a scipy CSR sparse matrix, with 804414 samples and
|
|
47236 features. Non-zero values contains cosine-normalized, log TF-IDF vectors.
|
|
A nearly chronological split is proposed in [1]_: The first 23149 samples are
|
|
the training set. The last 781265 samples are the testing set. This follows
|
|
the official LYRL2004 chronological split. The array has 0.16% of non zero
|
|
values::
|
|
|
|
>>> rcv1.data.shape
|
|
(804414, 47236)
|
|
|
|
``target``:
|
|
The target values are stored in a scipy CSR sparse matrix, with 804414 samples
|
|
and 103 categories. Each sample has a value of 1 in its categories, and 0 in
|
|
others. The array has 3.15% of non zero values::
|
|
|
|
>>> rcv1.target.shape
|
|
(804414, 103)
|
|
|
|
``sample_id``:
|
|
Each sample can be identified by its ID, ranging (with gaps) from 2286
|
|
to 810596::
|
|
|
|
>>> rcv1.sample_id[:3]
|
|
array([2286, 2287, 2288], dtype=uint32)
|
|
|
|
``target_names``:
|
|
The target values are the topics of each sample. Each sample belongs to at
|
|
least one topic, and to up to 17 topics. There are 103 topics, each
|
|
represented by a string. Their corpus frequencies span five orders of
|
|
magnitude, from 5 occurrences for 'GMIL', to 381327 for 'CCAT'::
|
|
|
|
>>> rcv1.target_names[:3].tolist() # doctest: +SKIP
|
|
['E11', 'ECAT', 'M11']
|
|
|
|
The dataset will be downloaded from the `rcv1 homepage`_ if necessary.
|
|
The compressed size is about 656 MB.
