// The Term-Frequency/Inverse-Document-Frequency model can be used to 
// extract finite-length feature vectors from sequences of arbitrary 
// length, like for example, texts:

// Create a new TF-IDF with options:
var codebook = new TFIDF()
{
    Tf = TermFrequency.Log,
    Idf = InverseDocumentFrequency.Default
};

// Compute the codebook (note: this would have to be done only for the training set)
codebook.Learn(words);


// Now, we can use the learned codebook to extract fixed-length
// representations of the different texts (paragraphs) above:

// Extract a feature vector from the text 1:
double[] bow1 = codebook.Transform(words[0]);

// Extract a feature vector from the text 2:
double[] bow2 = codebook.Transform(words[1]);

// we could also have transformed everything at once, i.e.
// double[][] bow = codebook.Transform(words);


// Now, since we have finite length representations (both bow1 and bow2 should
// have the same size), we can pass them to any classifier or machine learning
// method. For example, we can pass them to a Logistic Regression Classifier to
// discern between the first and second paragraphs

// Lets create a Logistic classifier to separate the two paragraphs:
var learner = new IterativeReweightedLeastSquares<LogisticRegression>()
{
    Tolerance = 1e-4,  // Let's set some convergence parameters
    Iterations = 100,  // maximum number of iterations to perform
    Regularization = 0
};

// Now, we use the learning algorithm to learn the distinction between the two:
LogisticRegression reg = learner.Learn(new[] { bow1, bow2 }, new[] { false, true });

// Finally, we can predict using the classifier:
bool c1 = reg.Decide(bow1); // Should be false
bool c2 = reg.Decide(bow2); // Should be true
