Amazing Word clouds using python

Ever wondered how word clouds are generated from a big text corpus? In this post we learn how to make interesting word clouds using simple natural language processing and python.

What are word clouds?
Word clouds are a way of representing some of the most important words or some of the most occurring words from the big text corpus.

In this post we will consider the some speeches by George Bush as our test corpus and make a word cloud from the words that occur the most in the speeches.

Steps taken

  1. Load the speeches and store them in a variable
  2. Remove all the stopwords, stop words are words like 'the', 'and', 'this' and they can be removed for our current purpose.
  3. Remove all the punctuation's
  4. Construct word cloud consisting of 100 most frequent words and save the image

Lets have a look at the code

The above code produces the following image as the output



Now, the above code produces a simple image, we can mask and try to make our word cloud more interesting by using the following code.

The output produced by the above code is



The mask used for the above code was downloaded from

Infix to Prefix conversion using Stack

This post is about conversion of Infix expression to Prefix conversion. For this conversion we take help of stack data structure, we need to push and pop the operators in and out of the stack. Infix expressions are the expressions that we normally use, eg. 5+6-7; a+b*c etc. Prefix expressions are the expressions in which the 2 operands are preceded by the operator eg. -+56 7 , +a*bc etc. This method is very similar to the method that we used to convert Infix to Postfix but the only difference is that here we need to reverse the input string before conversion and then reverse the final output string before displaying it. NOTE: This changes one thing that is instead of encountering the opening bracket we now first encounter the closing bracket and we make changes accordingly in our code. So, to convert an infix expression to a prefix expression we follow the below steps (we have 2 string, 1st is the input infix expression string 2nd is the output string which is empty initially)...

Linked List in python

Linked list is a simple linear data structure formed by collection of data elements called nodes. Each node consists of a data element and link field. There is a head node that points to the starting of the linked list. this diagram shows a simple representation of the linked list. Linked list can be used to implement stacks, queues, list, associative arrays, etc.  Unlike arrays linked lists are not stored in contagious memory locations rather the are stored at any empty place in memory and the address of the next node is stored in the link field. Also you don't need to declare the size of the linked list at the time of initialization you can dynamically keep adding elements to the linked list. Click for complete information on Linked List  The following implementation of the linked list has the following methods implemented : isEmpty() : Returns true if the Linked List is empty. addToStart() : Adds elements at the start of the linked Li...
