> A {{CountVectorizer}} feature extractor [1] assigns each occurring word in a corpus an unique identifier. With this mapping it can vectorize models such as bag of words or ngrams in a efficient way. The unique identifier assigned to a word acts as the index of a vector. The number of word occurrences is represented as a vector value at a specific index. 
> The advantage of the {{CountVectorizer}} compared to the FeatureHasher is that the mapping of words to indices can be obtained which makes it easier to understand the resulting feature vectors.
> The {{CountVectorizer}} could be generalized to support arbitrary feature values.
> The {{CountVectorizer}} should be implemented as a {{Transfomer}}.
