How to add extra stop words in addition to default stopwords in wordcloud?












1















I would like to add certain words to the default stopwords list used in wordcloud. This is the code I used.



all_text = " ".join(rev for rev in twitter_clean.text)
stop_words = ["https", "co", "RT"]
wordcloud = WordCloud(stopwords = stop_words, background_color="white").generate(all_text)
plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()


When i use this custom stop_words variable, words like is, was ,the are all interpreted and displayed as highly frequent words but when i use the default stopwords list (no stopwords argument) then there are so many other words that are displayed as highly frequent. How do i add my custom stop_words variable along with the default stopwords list to my word cloud.

          Just append your list to the built-in STOPWORDS list:



          From the wordcloud documentation:




          stopwords : set of strings or None. The words that will be eliminated.
          If None, the build-in STOPWORDS list will be used.




          So you can simply append STOPWORDS to your custom list and use it



          all_text = " ".join(rev for rev in twitter_clean.text)
          stop_words = ["https", "co", "RT"] + list(STOPWORDS)
          wordcloud = WordCloud(stopwords = stop_words, background_color="white").generate(all_text)
          plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')
          plt.axis("off")
          plt.show()
