one_hot_str

One-hot encodes string.

tokenization_layer.one_hot_str(
    string, chars
)

Parameters

string ---- str String of text to one-hot encode.

chars ---- str String of the one-hot encoding categories (i.e. characters) for how the text will be encoded. The index of a character in the string will be said character's index in the encoding. So, for example, chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", then each character in string will be a 26-dimensional vector (i.e. a one-hot encoding with 26 characters). You may also include "<UNK>" in your chars (and it'll be all characters that can't be found in chars). If you don't, unidentified characters will be encoded as not having a category. Finally, MAKE SURE THAT THE SAME CHARS ARE USED FOR ENCODING ALL TEXT THAT WILL BE INPUT DATA TO NEURAL NET AND INITIALIZATION OF PATTERNS.

Returns

tf.Tensor string one-hot encoded into len(chars) categories.

Examples

>>> chars = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
>>> # Notice how the exclamation mark doesn't have a category!
... tokenization_layer.one_hot_str("hello world!", chars)
