Gzip.TextClassifier 1.0.1

Gzip Text Classifier

This project is a C# implementation of the Normalized Compression Distance (NCD) classification algorithm with Gzip compression, which can be read about in this paper.

The original repository written in Python, can be found at this link.

Also available as a Nuget package.

Usage

Predict csv test file:

string trainFile = @"C:\Users\Chus\Downloads\ag_news_train.csv";
string testFile = @"C:\Users\Chus\Downloads\ag_news_test.csv";

GzipClassifierOptions gzipClassifierOptions = new()
{
    TrainFile = trainFile,          // File path for csv train file
    ParallelismOnCalc = true,       // Use paralelism on distance calc. Default: true
    ParallelismOnTestFile = false,  // Use paralelism for each test. Default: false
    K = 2,                          // Value of K in k-nearest-neighbor. Default: 3
    TextColumn = 0,                 // Text column number in csv file. Default: 0
    LabelColumn = 1,                // Label column number in csv file. Default: 1
    HasHeaderRecord = true,         // Csv has header record. Deault: true
    ConsoleOutput = true,           // Output console during file prediction. Default: true
};

GzipClassifier gzipClassifier = new(gzipClassifierOptions);
double result = gzipClassifier.PredictFile(testFile);
Console.WriteLine(result);

Single text prediction:

string text = "Socialites unite dolphin groups Dolphin groups, or \"pods\", rely on socialites to keep them from collapsing, scientists claim.";
var prediction = gzipClassifier.Predict(text);
Console.WriteLine(prediction);
