Questions tagged [tfidf]
tf–idf (term frequency–inverse document frequency), is a numerical statistic using in nlp that is intended to reflect how important a word is to a document in a collection or corpus. It is often used as a weighting factor in searches of information retrieval, text mining, and user modeling. tf–idf increases proportionally the number of times a word appears in the document.
