class skactiveml.pool.ProbabilisticAL(prior=1, m_max=1, missing_label=nan, metric=None, metric_dict=None, random_state=None)[source]#

Bases: SingleAnnotatorPoolQueryStrategy

(Multi-class) Probabilistic Active Learning

This class implements multi-class probabilistic active learning (McPAL) [1] strategy.

Parameters
prior: float, optional (default=1)

Prior probabilities for the Dirichlet distribution of the samples.

m_max: int, optional (default=1)

Maximum number of hypothetically acquired labels.

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

Value to represent a missing label.

metricstr or callable, default=None

The metric must be None or a valid kernel as defined by the function sklearn.metrics.pairwise.pairwise_kernels. The kernel is used to calculate the frequency of labels near the candidates and multiplied with the probabilities returned by clf to get a kernel frequency estimate for each class. If metric is set to None, the predict_freq function of the clf will be used instead. If this is not defined, a TypeError is raised.

metric_dictdict, default=None

Any further parameters that should be passed directly to the kernel function. If metric_dict is None and metric is ‘rbf’ metric_dict is set to {‘gamma’: ‘mean’}.

random_state: numeric | np.random.RandomState, optional

Random state for candidate selection.

Methods

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

query(X, y, clf[, fit_clf, sample_weight, ...])

Query the next instance to be labeled.

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, sample_weight=None, utility_weight=None, candidates=None, batch_size=1, return_utilities=False)[source]#

Query the next instance to be labeled.

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.ClassFrequencyEstimator

Model implementing the methods fit and predict_freq.

fit_clfbool, default=True

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

sample_weight: array-like of shape (n_samples), optional (default=None)

Weights of training samples in X.

utility_weight: array-like, optional (default=None)

Weight for each candidate (multiplied with utilities). Usually, this is to be the density of a candidate in ProbabilisticAL. The length of utility_weight is usually n_samples, except for the case when candidates contains samples (ndim >= 2). Then the length is n_candidates.

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.

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, 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.

utilitiesnumpy.ndarray, shape (batch_size, n_samples)

The utilities of all candidate 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.

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.
