 By using mutual_info_classif from sklearn in python we can implement information gain. Below is the code

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups

from sklearn.feature_selection import mutual_info_classif

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer

categories = ['talk.religion.misc',

              'comp.graphics', 'sci.space']

newsgroups_train = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='train',

                                      categories=categories)

X, Y = newsgroups_train.data, newsgroups_train.target

cv = CountVectorizer(max_df=0.95, min_df=2,

                                     max_features=10000,

                                     stop_words='english')

X_vec = cv.fit_transform(X)

res = dict(zip(cv.get_feature_names(),

               mutual_info_classif(X_vec, Y, discrete_features=True)

               ))

print(res)
