Convert the case of the features of a dfm and combine

dfm_tolower and dfm_toupper convert the features of the dfm or fcm to lower and upper case, respectively, and then recombine the counts.

dfm_tolower(x, keep_acronyms = FALSE)

dfm_toupper(x)

fcm_tolower(x, keep_acronyms = FALSE)

fcm_toupper(x)

Arguments

x	the input object whose character/tokens/feature elements will be case-converted
keep_acronyms	logical; if TRUE, do not lowercase any all-uppercase words (applies only to *_tolower functions)

Details

fcm_tolower and fcm_toupper convert both dimensions of the fcm to lower and upper case, respectively, and then recombine the counts. This works only on fcm objects created with context = "document".

Examples

#> docs    b A C a B
#>   text1 1 2 0 0 0
#>   text2 1 0 2 1 1
dfm_tolower(dfmat)
#> Document-feature matrix of: 2 documents, 3 features (16.7% sparse).
