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

Load the speeches and store them in a variable
Remove all the stopwords, stop words are words like 'the', 'and', 'this' and they can be removed for our current purpose.
Remove all the punctuation's
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

Hashing with Quadratic Probing

Hashing is a technique used for storing , searching and removing elements in almost constant time. Hashing is done with help of a hash function that generates index for a given input, then this index can be used to search the elements, store an element, or remove that element from that index. A hash function is a function that is used to map the data elements to their position in the data structure used. For example if we use an array to store the integer elements then the hash function will generate position for each element so that searching, storing and removing operation on the array can be done in constant time that is independent of the number of elements in the array. For better look at the example below. now we face a problem if for 2 numbers same position is generated example consider elements 1 and 14 1 % 13 = 1 14 % 13 = 1 so when we get 1 we store it at the first position, but when we get 14 we see that the position 1 is already taken, this is a case of colli...
