medium📝 Debug Q7 of 15
NLP - Text Similarity and Search
Why does this code raise an error? from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer texts = ['cat dog', 'dog mouse'] vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer() X = vectorizer.fit_transform(texts) sim = cosine_similarity(X[0], X[2]) print(sim)
AIndex 2 is out of range because only 2 documents exist
BTfidfVectorizer cannot process short texts
Ccosine_similarity requires dense arrays, not sparse
Dprint function is missing parentheses
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check the number of documents

    There are only 2 documents, indexed 0 and 1; index 2 is invalid.
  2. Step 2: Understand error cause

    Accessing X[2] causes an IndexError because it does not exist.
  3. Final Answer:

    Index 2 is out of range because only 2 documents exist -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Index error due to invalid document index [OK]
Quick Trick: Check document count before indexing vectors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming more documents than present
  • Blaming vectorizer for short texts
  • Ignoring zero-based indexing
