Export Count Table

 

Updated: April 11, 2016

Exports the count table from a saved transformation for use with new data

The Export Count Table module is provided for backward compatibility with experiments that use the Build Count Table (deprecated) and Count Featurizer (deprecated) modules.

When you use Build Counting Transform to create count-based features, the module outputs both a featurized dataset and a transform that creates features from counts. You can use Export Count Table to separate the count-based features into the two inputs used in previous experiments: count metadata and a count table.

For general information about count tables and how they are used to create features, see Data Transformation / Learning with Counts.

  1. Open the experiment where you want to use the imported count table.

  2. Locate the saved count transformation, and add it to the experiment.

  3. Connect the output of the saved count transformation (labeled transformation) to Export Count Table.

  4. Add the Count Featurizer (deprecated) module to the experiment, and connect it to the two outputs of Export Count Table.

  5. Count Featurizer (deprecated) requires an additional input, for the dataset you want to featurize. Connect the dataset to apply the saved transformation to outputs.

  6. Set any necessary parameters for Count Featurizer (deprecated), including the label column, the count columns, the columns to featurize, and the features to output.

    Note that you must select a subset of the columns that were originally selected for the counting transformation. However, the Export Count Table module does not provide the list of these columns, so you should review the original experiment and make a note of which columns were used. If you select a column that was not used when creating the transformation, you will get an error.
