Convert Sparse Vector to Dense Vector in Pyspark

Question

I have a sparse vector like this

>>> countVectors.rdd.map(lambda vector: vector[1]).collect()
[SparseVector(13, {0: 1.0, 2: 1.0, 3: 1.0, 6: 1.0, 8: 1.0, 9: 1.0, 10: 1.0, 12: 1.0}), SparseVector(13, {0: 1.0, 1: 1.0, 2: 1.0, 4: 1.0}), SparseVector(13, {0: 1.0, 1: 1.0, 3: 1.0, 4: 1.0, 7: 1.0}), SparseVector(13, {1: 1.0, 2: 1.0, 5: 1.0, 11: 1.0})]

I am trying to convert this into dense vector in pyspark 2.0.0 like this

>>> frequencyVectors = countVectors.rdd.map(lambda vector: vector[1])
>>> frequencyVectors.map(lambda vector: Vectors.dense(vector)).collect()

I am getting an error like this:

    raise ValueError("Index %d out of bounds." % index)
ValueError: Index 13 out of bounds.

How can I achieve this conversion? Is there anything wrong here?

Solution 1

This resolved my issue

frequencyDenseVectors = frequencyVectors.map(lambda vector: DenseVector(vector.toArray()))

Solution 2

# to convert spark vector column in pyspark dataframe to dense vector 
from pyspark.ml.linalg import DenseVector

@udf(T.ArrayType(T.FloatType()))

def  toDense(v):

    v = DenseVector(v)

    new_array = list([float(x) for x in v])

    return new_array 

df.withColumn('features',toDense('features')).show()
#here 'features' column is vector type

Solution 3

If your PySpark DataFrame is of DataFrame[SparseVector], the following is what works for me:

df2=df.select("features")
from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler
assembler = VectorAssembler(inputCols=feat_cols, outputCol="features_dense")
df3 = assembler.transform(df2).select('features_dense')
