Yes, I do apply NaiveBayes after IDF .

" you can re-train (fit) on all your data before applying it to unseen
data." Did you mean I can reuse that model to Transform both training and
test data?

Here's the process:

Datasets:

   1. Full sample data (labeled)
   2. Training (labeled)
   3. Test (labeled)
   4. Unseen (non-labeled)

Here are two workflow options I see:

Option - 1 (currently using)

   1. Fit IDF model (idf-1) on full Sample data
   2. Apply(Transform) idf-1 on full sample data
   3. Split data set into Training and Test data
   4. Fit ML model on Training data
   5. Apply(Transform) model on Test data
   6. Apply(Transform) idf-1 on Unseen data
   7. Apply(Transform) model on Unseen data

Option - 2

   1. Split sample data into Training and Test data
   2. Fit IDF model (idf-1) only on training data
   3. Apply(Transform) idf-1 on training data
   4. Apply(Transform) idf-1 on test data
   5. Fit ML model on Training data
   6. Apply(Transform) model on Test data
   7. Apply(Transform) idf-1 on Unseen data
   8. Apply(Transform) model on Unseen data

So you are suggesting Option-2 in this particular case, right?
