TF-IDF Calculator

Overview

The TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) Calculator computes word importance scores across a document collection. Words frequent in a document but rare across the corpus get high scores. Essential for information retrieval, document similarity, and feature extraction.

Tips

  • TF (Term Frequency): how often a word appears in a document
  • IDF (Inverse Document Frequency): how rare a word is across all documents
  • TF-IDF = TF × IDF balances local and global importance
  • High TF-IDF means word is important to specific document
  • Applications: search engines, document classification, keyword extraction
  • Common words like “the” get low IDF scores
  • Try different documents to see how scores change
