ProximityFilter#

class squirro.lib.nlp.steps.filters.ProximityFilter(config)#

Bases: squirro.lib.nlp.steps.filters.regex_filter.RegexFilter

The proximity RegexFilter filters all Document by checking if terms exist within a specified proximity.

Note

  • The format for proximity rules is based on the Squirro Phrase Search syntax (e.g. "issue shares~6"). To make the search one directional append "|" (e.g. "issue shares~6|"). It is possible to use more than 2 terms where the distance is used between consecutive terms, or use a single exact match term without proximity distance.

  • Expressions are case-insensitive.

  • There is a max of 20 words per rule to limit the complexity of the regex

Input - all input fields needs to be of type str.

Output - the output field is filled with data of type str.

Parameters

  • type (str) – proximity

  • blacklist_terms (list, []) – List of blacklist proximity terms

  • whitelist_terms (list, []) – List of whitelist proximity terms
