与@larsman相同，但有一些预处理

import nltk, string
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

nltk.download('punkt') # if necessary...


stemmer = nltk.stem.porter.PorterStemmer()
remove_punctuation_map = dict((ord(char), None) for char in string.punctuation)

def stem_tokens(tokens):
    return [stemmer.stem(item) for item in tokens]

'''remove punctuation, lowercase, stem'''
def normalize(text):
    return stem_tokens(nltk.word_tokenize(text.lower().translate(remove_punctuation_map)))

vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(tokenizer=normalize, stop_words='english')

def cosine_sim(text1, text2):
    tfidf = vectorizer.fit_transform([text1, text2])
    return ((tfidf * tfidf.T).A)[0,1]


print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a little bird')
print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a little bird chirps')
print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a big dog barks')

为了用更少的数据集找到句子的相似性，并获得更高的精度，你可以使用下面的python包，它使用预训练的BERT模型，

pip install similar-sentences

如果你正在寻找一些非常精确的东西，你需要使用一些比tf-idf更好的工具。通用句子编码器是最准确的找到任何两段文本之间的相似性的编码器之一。谷歌提供了预训练的模型，您可以将其用于自己的应用程序，而不需要从头开始训练任何东西。首先，你必须安装tensorflow和tensorflow-hub:

    pip install tensorflow
    pip install tensorflow_hub

下面的代码允许您将任何文本转换为固定长度的向量表示，然后您可以使用点积来找出它们之间的相似性

import tensorflow_hub as hub
module_url = "https://tfhub.dev/google/universal-sentence-encoder/1?tf-hub-format=compressed"

# Import the Universal Sentence Encoder's TF Hub module
embed = hub.Module(module_url)

# sample text
messages = [
# Smartphones
"My phone is not good.",
"Your cellphone looks great.",

# Weather
"Will it snow tomorrow?",
"Recently a lot of hurricanes have hit the US",

# Food and health
"An apple a day, keeps the doctors away",
"Eating strawberries is healthy",
]

similarity_input_placeholder = tf.placeholder(tf.string, shape=(None))
similarity_message_encodings = embed(similarity_input_placeholder)
with tf.Session() as session:
    session.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
    session.run(tf.tables_initializer())
    message_embeddings_ = session.run(similarity_message_encodings, feed_dict={similarity_input_placeholder: messages})

    corr = np.inner(message_embeddings_, message_embeddings_)
    print(corr)
    heatmap(messages, messages, corr)

绘图的代码:

def heatmap(x_labels, y_labels, values):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    im = ax.imshow(values)

    # We want to show all ticks...
    ax.set_xticks(np.arange(len(x_labels)))
    ax.set_yticks(np.arange(len(y_labels)))
    # ... and label them with the respective list entries
    ax.set_xticklabels(x_labels)
    ax.set_yticklabels(y_labels)

    # Rotate the tick labels and set their alignment.
    plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=45, ha="right", fontsize=10,
         rotation_mode="anchor")

    # Loop over data dimensions and create text annotations.
    for i in range(len(y_labels)):
        for j in range(len(x_labels)):
            text = ax.text(j, i, "%.2f"%values[i, j],
                           ha="center", va="center", color="w", 
fontsize=6)

    fig.tight_layout()
    plt.show()

结果将是:

正如你所看到的，最相似的是文本本身和意义相近的文本之间。

重要的是:第一次运行代码会很慢，因为它需要下载模型。如果你想防止它再次下载模型并使用本地模型，你必须为缓存创建一个文件夹，并将其添加到环境变量中，然后在第一次运行后使用该路径:

tf_hub_cache_dir = "universal_encoder_cached/"
os.environ["TFHUB_CACHE_DIR"] = tf_hub_cache_dir

# pointing to the folder inside cache dir, it will be unique on your system
module_url = tf_hub_cache_dir+"/d8fbeb5c580e50f975ef73e80bebba9654228449/"
embed = hub.Module(module_url)

句法相似性 有3种简单的方法来检测相似性。

Word2Vec 手套 Tfidf或countvectorizer

语义相似性 可以使用BERT嵌入和尝试不同的词池策略来获得文档嵌入，然后在文档嵌入上应用余弦相似度。

一种先进的方法是利用BERT分数来获得相似度。

我们可以使用句子转换来完成这个任务 链接

下面是一个来自sbert的简单示例:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
# Two lists of sentences
sentences1 = ['The cat sits outside']
sentences2 = ['The dog plays in the garden']
#Compute embedding for both lists
embeddings1 = model.encode(sentences1, convert_to_tensor=True)
embeddings2 = model.encode(sentences2, convert_to_tensor=True)
#Compute cosine-similarities
cosine_scores = util.cos_sim(embeddings1, embeddings2)
#Output the pairs with their score
for i in range(len(sentences1)):
   print("{} \t\t {} \t\t Score: {:.4f}".format(sentences1[i], 
         sentences2[i], cosine_scores[i][i]))

这是一个老问题了，但我发现斯派西可以很容易地解决这个问题。读取文档后，可以使用简单的api相似性来查找文档向量之间的余弦相似性。

首先安装包并下载模型:

pip install spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

然后用like so:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm')
doc1 = nlp(u'Hello hi there!')
doc2 = nlp(u'Hello hi there!')
doc3 = nlp(u'Hey whatsup?')

print (doc1.similarity(doc2)) # 0.999999954642
print (doc2.similarity(doc3)) # 0.699032527716
print (doc1.similarity(doc3)) # 0.699032527716
