Normalize Corpus by Padding

Deep Learning networks typically need a fixed shape for their inputs. This script right pads documents below a given length xxx. This script is intended to be run after vectorization

Run the script

These scripts need to be run in a modified manner compared to the general form. There is another parameter called length that is needed to provide a consistent input shape. Please update step 4 in the general form to be:

• Run python normalize-corpus-by-padding.py -in d:/corpus_in -out d:/corpus_out -l 2000.

Each document was normalized to provide a consistent input shape to the deep learning network. The below normalization steps were undertaken:

1. Documents below length xxx were right padded with zeros.

The normalization script can be found in the companion repository ^[http://www.github.com/{user}/{repo}].
