skactiveml.pool.MonteCarloEER#

class skactiveml.pool.MonteCarloEER(method='misclassification_loss', cost_matrix=None, subtract_current=False, missing_label=nan, random_state=None)[source]#

Bases: ExpectedErrorReduction

This class implements the expected error method from [1] that uses a Monte-Carlo approach to estimate the error.

Therefore, it implements the following two steps:
  • determining ever candidates x label pair and simulate its outcome in the classifier by simulating it

  • determining some kind of risk for the new classifier

Parameters
methodstring, optional (default=’misclassification_loss’)

The optimization method. Possible values are ‘misclassification_loss’ and ‘log_loss’.

cost_matrix: array-like, shape (n_classes, n_classes), optional
(default=None)

Cost matrix with cost_matrix[i,j] defining the cost of predicting class j for a sample with the actual class i. Used for misclassification loss and ignored for log loss.

subtract_currentbool, optional (default=False)

If True, the current error estimate is subtracted from the simulated score. This might be helpful to define a stopping criterion.

missing_labelscalar or string or np.nan or None, default=np.nan

Value to represent a missing label.

random_stateint or np.random.RandomState

The random state to use.

Methods

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

query(X, y, clf[, fit_clf, ...])

Determines for which candidate samples labels are to be queried.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

get_metadata_routing()#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns
routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

query(X, y, clf, fit_clf=True, ignore_partial_fit=True, sample_weight=None, candidates=None, sample_weight_candidates=None, X_eval=None, sample_weight_eval=None, batch_size=1, return_utilities=False)#

Determines for which candidate samples labels are to be queried.

Parameters
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training data set, usually complete, i.e. including the labeled and unlabeled samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples)

Labels of the training data set (possibly including unlabeled ones indicated by self.MISSING_LABEL.

clfskactiveml.base.SkactivemlClassifier

Model implementing the methods fit and predict_proba.

fit_clfbool, optional (default=True)

Defines whether the classifier should be fitted on X, y, and sample_weight.

ignore_partial_fitbool, optional (default=True)

Relevant in cases where clf implements partial_fit. If True, the partial_fit function is ignored and fit is used instead.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples), optional
(default=None)

Weights of training samples in X.

candidatesNone or array-like of shape (n_candidates), dtype=int or

array-like of shape (n_candidates, n_features), optional (default=None) If candidates is None, the unlabeled samples from (X,y) are considered as candidates. If candidates is of shape (n_candidates) and of type int, candidates is considered as the indices of the samples in (X,y). If candidates is of shape (n_candidates, n_features), the candidates are directly given in candidates (not necessarily contained in X). This is not supported by all query strategies.

sample_weight_candidatesarray-like of shape (n_candidates),

optional (default=None) Weights of candidates samples in candidates if candidates are directly given (i.e., candidates.ndim > 1). Otherwise weights for candidates are given in sample_weight.

X_evalarray-like of shape (n_eval_samples, n_features),

optional (default=None). Unlabeled evaluation data set that is used for estimating the risk. Not applicable for all EER methods.

sample_weight_evalarray-like of shape (n_eval_samples),

optional (default=None) Weights of evaluation samples in X_eval if given. Used to weight the importance of samples when estimating the risk.

batch_sizeint, optional (default=1)

The number of samples to be selected in one AL cycle.

return_utilitiesbool, optional (default=False)

If true, also return the utilities based on the query strategy.

Returns
query_indicesnumpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size)

The query_indices indicate for which candidate sample a label is to queried, e.g., query_indices[0] indicates the first selected sample. If candidates is None or of shape (n_candidates), the indexing refers to samples in X. If candidates is of shape (n_candidates, n_features), the indexing refers to samples in candidates.

utilitiesnumpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size, n_samples) or

numpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size, n_candidates) The utilities of samples after each selected sample of the batch, e.g., utilities[0] indicates the utilities used for selecting the first sample (with index query_indices[0]) of the batch. Utilities for labeled samples will be set to np.nan. If candidates is None or of shape (n_candidates), the indexing refers to samples in X. If candidates is of shape (n_candidates, n_features), the indexing refers to samples in candidates.

set_params(**params)#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.
