HashingTF

HashingTF #

HashingTF maps a sequence of terms(strings, numbers, booleans) to a sparse vector with a specified dimension using the hashing trick. If multiple features are projected into the same column, the output values are accumulated by default.

Input Columns #

Param name Type Default Description
inputCol List/Array of primitive data types or strings "input" Input sequence of terms.

Output Columns #

Param name Type Default Description
outputCol SparseVector "output" Output sparse vector.

Parameters #

Key Default Type Required Description
binary false Boolean no Whether each dimension of the output vector is binary or not.
inputCol "input" String no Input column name.
outputCol "output" String no Output column name.
numFeatures 262144 Integer no The number of features. It will be the length of the output vector.
