Si queremos encontrar la "importancia" o la "importancia" de las palabras dentro de este corpus,¿podemos simplemente hacer la suma de las puntuaciones de tf-idf en todos los documentos y dividirla por la cantidad de documentos? Es decir.

>>> tfidf_saliency = Counter()
>>> for doc in corpus_tfidf:
...     for word, score in doc:
...         tfidf_saliency[word] += score / len(corpus_tfidf)
... 
>>> tfidf_saliency
Counter({7: 0.12182694202050007, 8: 0.11121194156107769, 26: 0.10886469856464989, 29: 0.10093919463036093, 9: 0.09022272408985754, 14: 0.08705221175200946, 25: 0.08482488519466996, 6: 0.08143359568202602, 10: 0.07480097322359022, 12: 0.07480097322359022, 4: 0.07411881371164887, 13: 0.07117278898823597, 5: 0.07104525967490458, 27: 0.07027283689263066, 28: 0.07027283689263066, 11: 0.060487023243988705, 15: 0.055997035904387725, 16: 0.055997035904387725, 21: 0.05389680556362955, 22: 0.05389680556362955, 23: 0.05389680556362955, 24: 0.05389680556362955, 17: 0.048785635947490406, 18: 0.048785635947490406, 19: 0.048785635947490406, 20: 0.048785635947490406, 0: 0.04778910634833961, 1: 0.04778910634833961, 2: 0.04778910634833961, 3: 0.04778910634833961, 30: 0.045480127933079706, 31: 0.045480127933079706, 32: 0.045480127933079706, 33: 0.045480127933079706, 34: 0.045480127933079706})

Mirando el resultado, ¿podríamos suponer que la palabra más "prominente" en el corpus es:

>>> dictionary[7]
u'system'
>>> dictionary[8]
u'survey'
>>> dictionary[26]
u'graph'

Si es así,¿Cuál es la interpretación matemática de la suma de las puntuaciones de palabras TF-IDF en los documentos?
