# keywords2vec
> A simple and fast way to generate a word2vec model, with multi-word keywords instead of single words.

## Example result

Finding similar keywords for "__obesity__"

| index | term |
|-------|-----------------------------|
| 0 | overweight |
| 1 | obese |
| 2 | physical inactivity |
| 3 | excess weight |
| 4 | obese adults |
| 5 | high bmi |
| 6 | obese adults |
| 7 | obese people |
| 8 | obesity-related outcomes |
| 9 | obesity among children |
| 10 | poor sleep quality |
| 11 | ssbs |
| 12 | obese populations |
| 13 | cardiometabolic risk |
| 14 | abdominal obesity |

## Install

`pip install keywords2vec`

## How to use

Lets download some example data

```
data_filepath = "epistemonikos_data_sample.tsv.gz"

!wget "https://s3.amazonaws.com/episte-labs/epistemonikos_data_sample.tsv.gz" -O "{data_filepath}"
```

Import

```
from keywords2vec.main import similars_tree, get_similars
```

We create the model.

```
labels, tree = similars_tree(data_filepath)
```

More info, take a look [here](30_main.ipynb)

Then we can get the most similars keywords

```
get_similars(tree, labels, "obesity")
```

['obesity',
'overweight',
'obese',
'physical inactivity',
'excess weight',
'high bmi',
'obese adults',
'obese people',
'obesity-related outcomes',
'obesity among children',
'poor sleep quality',
'ssbs',
'obese populations',
'cardiometabolic risk',
'abdominal obesity']

```
get_similars(tree, labels, "heart failure")
```

['heart failure',
'hf',
'chf',
'chronic heart failure',
'reduced ejection fraction',
'unstable angina',
'peripheral vascular disease',
'peripheral arterial disease',
'angina',
'congestive heart failure',
'left ventricular systolic dysfunction',
'acute coronary syndrome',
'heart failure patients',
'acute myocardial infarction',
'left ventricular dysfunction']

### Motivation

The idea started in the Epistemonikos database [www.epistemonikos.org](https://www.epistemonikos.org), a database of scientific articles for people making decisions concerning clinical or health-policy questions. In this context the scientific/health language used is complex. You can easily find keywords like:

* asthma
* heart failure
* medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
* preserved left ventricular systolic function
* non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

We tried some approaches to find those keywords, like ngrams, ngrams + tf-idf, identify entities, among others. But we didn't get really good results.

### Our approach

We found that tokenizing using stopwords + non word characters was really useful for "finding" the keywords. An example:

* input: "Timing of replacement therapy for acute renal failure after cardiac surgery"
* output: [
"timing",
"replacement therapy",
"acute renal failure",
"cardiac surgery"
]

So we basically split the text when we find:
* a stopword
* a non word character(/,!?. etc) (except from - and ')

That's it.

But as there were some problem with some keywords that cointain stopwords, like:
* Vitamin A
* Hepatitis A
* Web of Science

So we decided to add another method (nltk with some grammar definition) to cover most of the cases. To use this, you need to add the parameter `keywords_w_stopwords=True`, this method is approx 20x slower.

### References

Seem to be an old idea (2004):

*Mihalcea, Rada, and Paul Tarau. "Textrank: Bringing order into text." Proceedings of the 2004 conference on empirical methods in natural language processing. 2004.*

Reading an implementation of textrank, I realize they used stopwords to separate and create the graph. Then I though in using it as tokenizer for word2vec

As pointed by @deliprao in this [twitter thread](https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1094025901371621376). It's also used by Rake (2010):

*Rose, Stuart & Engel, Dave & Cramer, Nick & Cowley, Wendy. (2010). Automatic Keyword Extraction from Individual Documents. 10.1002/9780470689646.ch1.*

As noted by @astent in the Twitter thread, this concept is called chinking (chunking by exclusion)
[https://www.nltk.org/book/ch07.html#Chinking](https://www.nltk.org/book/ch07.html#Chinking)

### Multi-lingual
We worked in an implementation, that could be used in multiple languages. Of course not all languages are sutable for using this approach. We have tried with good results in English, Spanish and Portuguese

## Try it online

You can try it [here](http://54.196.169.11/episte/) (takes time to load, lowercase only, doesn't work in mobile yet) MPV :)

These embedding were created using 827,341 title/abstract from @epistemonikos database.
With keywords that repeat at least 10 times. The total vocab is 349,080 keywords (really manageable number)

## Vocab size

One of the main benefit of this method, is the size of the vocabulary.
For example, using keywords that repeat at least 10 times, for the Epistemonikos dataset (827,341 title/abstract), we got the following vocab size:

| ngrams | keywords | comp |
|--------------------|-----------|---------|
| 1 | 127,824 | 36% |
| 1,2 | 1,360,550 | 388% |
| 1-3 | 3,204,099 | 914% |
| 1-4 | 4,461,930 | 1,272% |
| 1-5 | 5,133,619 | 1,464% |
| | | |
| stopword tokenizer | 350,529 | 100% |

More information regarding the comparison, take a look to the folder [analyze](analyze).
