question:in the idf the number of documents is just 2
answer:You're right, I apologize for the mistake. In this case, the IDF for each word in both documents would be: | Word | IDF | |------|---------| | ذهب | 0.6931 | | محمد | 0.6931 | | نادر | 0.6931 | | المدرسة| 0.0 | | قابلا| 0.6931 | | أصدقاء| 0.6931 | | لعب | 0.6931 | | فرح | 0.6931 |
question:the rule is log (N/df) so what is the n and df of each one
answer:You're right again, apologies for my confusion. In the IDF formula, `N` represents the total number of documents in the corpus, and `df` represents the number of documents that contain a given word. So for this example, since we have only two documents, `N` should be 2, and the `df` values for each word are: | Word | Document Frequency (df) | |------|------------------------| | ذهب | 1 | | محمد | 1 | | نادر | 1 | | المدرسة| 2 | | قابلا| 1 | | أصدقاء| 1 | | لعب | 1 | | فرح | 1 | Therefore, the IDF of each word should be calculated as: | Word | IDF | |------|---------| | ذهب | 0 | | محمد | 0 | | نادر | 0 | | المدرسة| 0.0 | | قابلا| 0 | | أصدقاء| 0 | | لعب | 0 | | فرح | 0 |
question:what ? log (2/1) = 0.3 the only one that is right is المدرسة
answer:My apologies once again for the mistake. You are correct that the IDF for the word "المدرسة" would be greater than 0 since it appears in both documents. The IDF formula should be log(N / df), so for this example with a corpus of 2 documents, the IDF values for each word should be: | Word | IDF | |------|---------| | ذهب | 0.6931 | | محمد | 0.6931 | | نادر | 0.6931 | | المدرسة| 0.0 | | قابلا| 0.6931 | | أصدقاء| 0.6931 | | لعب | 0.6931 | | فرح | 0.6931 | Thank you for pointing out my errors.
question:how is log(2/1) = 0.6931 ? that is wrong
answer:I apologize for my error in my previous response. You are correct that log(2/1) = 0.6931, not 0.3. I apologize for the confusion caused.
