Multiclass and multioutput algorithms
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
This section of the user guide covers functionality related to multi-learning
|
|
problems, including :term:`multiclass`, :term:`multilabel`, and
|
|
:term:`multioutput` classification and regression.
|
|
|
|
The modules in this section implement :term:`meta-estimators`, which require a
|
|
base estimator to be provided in their constructor. Meta-estimators extend the
|
|
functionality of the base estimator to support multi-learning problems, which
|
|
is accomplished by transforming the multi-learning problem into a set of
|
|
simpler problems, then fitting one estimator per problem.
|
|
|
|
This section covers two modules: :mod:`sklearn.multiclass` and
|
|
:mod:`sklearn.multioutput`. The chart below demonstrates the problem types
|
|
that each module is responsible for, and the corresponding meta-estimators
|
|
that each module provides.

Below is a summary of scikit-learn estimators that have multi-learning support
|
|
built-in, grouped by strategy. You don't need the meta-estimators provided by
|
|
this section if you're using one of these estimators. However, meta-estimators
|
|
can provide additional strategies beyond what is built-in:

Multiclass classification
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
All classifiers in scikit-learn do multiclass classification
|
|
out-of-the-box. You don't need to use the :mod:`sklearn.multiclass` module
|
|
unless you want to experiment with different multiclass strategies.
|
|
|
|
**Multiclass classification** is a classification task with more than two
|
|
classes. Each sample can only be labeled as one class.
|
|
|
|
For example, classification using features extracted from a set of images of
|
|
fruit, where each image may either be of an orange, an apple, or a pear.
|
|
Each image is one sample and is labeled as one of the 3 possible classes.
|
|
Multiclass classification makes the assumption that each sample is assigned
|
|
to one and only one label - one sample cannot, for example, be both a pear
|
|
and an apple.
|
|
|
|
While all scikit-learn classifiers are capable of multiclass classification,
|
|
the meta-estimators offered by :mod:`sklearn.multiclass`
|
|
permit changing the way they handle more than two classes
|
|
because this may have an effect on classifier performance
|
|
(either in terms of generalization error or required computational resources).
|
|
|
|
Target format
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Valid :term:`multiclass` representations for
|
|
:func:`~sklearn.utils.multiclass.type_of_target` (`y`) are:
|
|
|
|
- 1d or column vector containing more than two discrete values. An
|
|
example of a vector ``y`` for 4 samples:
|
|
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> y = np.array(['apple', 'pear', 'apple', 'orange'])
|
|
>>> print(y)
|
|
['apple' 'pear' 'apple' 'orange']
|
|
|
|
- Dense or sparse :term:`binary` matrix of shape ``(n_samples, n_classes)``
|
|
with a single sample per row, where each column represents one class. An
|
|
example of both a dense and sparse :term:`binary` matrix ``y`` for 4
|
|
samples, where the columns, in order, are apple, orange, and pear:
|
|
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelBinarizer
|
|
>>> y = np.array(['apple', 'pear', 'apple', 'orange'])
|
|
>>> y_dense = LabelBinarizer().fit_transform(y)
|
|
>>> print(y_dense)
|
|
[[1 0 0]
|
|
[0 0 1]
|
|
[1 0 0]
|
|
[0 1 0]]
|
|
>>> from scipy import sparse
|
|
>>> y_sparse = sparse.csr_matrix(y_dense)
|
|
>>> print(y_sparse)
|
|
(0, 0) 1
|
|
(1, 2) 1
|
|
(2, 0) 1
|
|
(3, 1) 1

OneVsRestClassifier
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The **one-vs-rest** strategy, also known as **one-vs-all**, is implemented in
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier`. The strategy consists in
|
|
fitting one classifier per class. For each classifier, the class is fitted
|
|
against all the other classes. In addition to its computational efficiency
|
|
(only `n_classes` classifiers are needed), one advantage of this approach is
|
|
its interpretability. Since each class is represented by one and only one
|
|
classifier, it is possible to gain knowledge about the class by inspecting its
|
|
corresponding classifier. This is the most commonly used strategy and is a fair
|
|
default choice.
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of multiclass learning using OvR::
|
|
|
|
>>> from sklearn import datasets
|
|
>>> from sklearn.multiclass import OneVsRestClassifier
|
|
>>> from sklearn.svm import LinearSVC
|
|
>>> X, y = datasets.load_iris(return_X_y=True)
|
|
>>> OneVsRestClassifier(LinearSVC(random_state=0)).fit(X, y).predict(X)

|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier` also supports multilabel
|
|
classification. To use this feature, feed the classifier an indicator matrix,
|
|
in which cell [i, j] indicates the presence of label j in sample i.

OneVsOneClassifier
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OneVsOneClassifier` constructs one classifier per
|
|
pair of classes. At prediction time, the class which received the most votes
|
|
is selected. In the event of a tie (among two classes with an equal number of
|
|
votes), it selects the class with the highest aggregate classification
|
|
confidence by summing over the pair-wise classification confidence levels
|
|
computed by the underlying binary classifiers.
|
|
|
|
Since it requires to fit ``n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2`` classifiers,
|
|
this method is usually slower than one-vs-the-rest, due to its
|
|
O(n_classes^2) complexity. However, this method may be advantageous for
|
|
algorithms such as kernel algorithms which don't scale well with
|
|
``n_samples``. This is because each individual learning problem only involves
|
|
a small subset of the data whereas, with one-vs-the-rest, the complete
|
|
dataset is used ``n_classes`` times. The decision function is the result
|
|
of a monotonic transformation of the one-versus-one classification.

OutputCodeClassifier
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Error-Correcting Output Code-based strategies are fairly different from
|
|
one-vs-the-rest and one-vs-one. With these strategies, each class is
|
|
represented in a Euclidean space, where each dimension can only be 0 or 1.
|
|
Another way to put it is that each class is represented by a binary code (an
|
|
array of 0 and 1). The matrix which keeps track of the location/code of each
|
|
class is called the code book. The code size is the dimensionality of the
|
|
aforementioned space. Intuitively, each class should be represented by a code
|
|
as unique as possible and a good code book should be designed to optimize
|
|
classification accuracy. In this implementation, we simply use a
|
|
randomly-generated code book as advocated in [3]_ although more elaborate
|
|
methods may be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
At fitting time, one binary classifier per bit in the code book is fitted.
|
|
At prediction time, the classifiers are used to project new points in the
|
|
class space and the class closest to the points is chosen.
|
|
|
|
In :class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OutputCodeClassifier`, the ``code_size``
|
|
attribute allows the user to control the number of classifiers which will be
|
|
used. It is a percentage of the total number of classes.
|
|
|
|
A number between 0 and 1 will require fewer classifiers than
|
|
one-vs-the-rest. In theory, ``log2(n_classes) / n_classes`` is sufficient to
|
|
represent each class unambiguously. However, in practice, it may not lead to
|
|
good accuracy since ``log2(n_classes)`` is much smaller than `n_classes`.
|
|
|
|
A number greater than 1 will require more classifiers than
|
|
one-vs-the-rest. In this case, some classifiers will in theory correct for
|
|
the mistakes made by other classifiers, hence the name "error-correcting".
|
|
In practice, however, this may not happen as classifier mistakes will
|
|
typically be correlated. The error-correcting output codes have a similar
|
|
effect to bagging.

Multilabel classification
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
**Multilabel classification** (closely related to **multioutput**
|
|
**classification**) is a classification task labeling each sample with ``m``
|
|
labels from ``n_classes`` possible classes, where ``m`` can be 0 to
|
|
``n_classes`` inclusive. This can be thought of as predicting properties of a
|
|
sample that are not mutually exclusive. Formally, a binary output is assigned
|
|
to each class, for every sample. Positive classes are indicated with 1 and
|
|
negative classes with 0 or -1. It is thus comparable to running ``n_classes``
|
|
binary classification tasks, for example with
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier`. This approach treats
|
|
each label independently whereas multilabel classifiers *may* treat the
|
|
multiple classes simultaneously, accounting for correlated behavior among
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
For example, prediction of the topics relevant to a text document or video.
|
|
The document or video may be about one of 'religion', 'politics', 'finance'
|
|
or 'education', several of the topic classes or all of the topic classes.
|
|
|
|
Target format
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
A valid representation of :term:`multilabel` `y` is an either dense or sparse
|
|
:term:`binary` matrix of shape ``(n_samples, n_classes)``. Each column
|
|
represents a class. The ``1``'s in each row denote the positive classes a
|
|
sample has been labeled with. An example of a dense matrix ``y`` for 3
|
|
samples:
|
|
|
|
>>> y = np.array([[1, 0, 0, 1], [0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0, 0]])
|
|
>>> print(y)
|
|
[[1 0 0 1]
|
|
[0 0 1 1]
|
|
[0 0 0 0]]
|
|
|
|
Dense binary matrices can also be created using
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.MultiLabelBinarizer`. For more information,
|
|
refer to :ref:`preprocessing_targets`.
|
|
|
|
An example of the same ``y`` in sparse matrix form:
|
|
|
|
>>> y_sparse = sparse.csr_matrix(y)
|
|
>>> print(y_sparse)
|

(0, 0) 1

MultiOutputClassifier
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Multilabel classification support can be added to any classifier with
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier`. This strategy consists of
|
|
fitting one classifier per target. This allows multiple target variable
|
|
classifications. The purpose of this class is to extend estimators
|
|
to be able to estimate a series of target functions (f1,f2,f3...,fn)
|
|
that are trained on a single X predictor matrix to predict a series
|
|
of responses (y1,y2,y3...,yn).
|
|
|
|
You can find a usage example for
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier`
|
|
as part of the section on :ref:`multiclass_multioutput_classification`
|
|
since it is a generalization of multilabel classification to
|
|
multiclass outputs instead of binary outputs.

of combining a number of binary classifiers into a single multi-label model
|
|
that is capable of exploiting correlations among targets.
|
|
|
|
For a multi-label classification problem with N classes, N binary
|
|
classifiers are assigned an integer between 0 and N-1. These integers
|
|
define the order of models in the chain. Each classifier is then fit on the
|
|
available training data plus the true labels of the classes whose
|
|
models were assigned a lower number.
|
|
|
|
When predicting, the true labels will not be available. Instead the
|
|
predictions of each model are passed on to the subsequent models in the
|
|
chain to be used as features.
|
|
|
|
Clearly the order of the chain is important. The first model in the chain
|
|
has no information about the other labels while the last model in the chain
|
|
has features indicating the presence of all of the other labels. In general
|
|
one does not know the optimal ordering of the models in the chain so
|
|
typically many randomly ordered chains are fit and their predictions are
|
|
averaged together.

Multiclass-multioutput classification
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
**Multiclass-multioutput classification**
|
|
(also known as **multitask classification**) is a
|
|
classification task which labels each sample with a set of **non-binary**
|
|
properties. Both the number of properties and the number of
|
|
classes per property is greater than 2. A single estimator thus
|
|
handles several joint classification tasks. This is both a generalization of
|
|
the multi\ *label* classification task, which only considers binary
|
|
attributes, as well as a generalization of the multi\ *class* classification
|
|
task, where only one property is considered.
|
|
|
|
For example, classification of the properties "type of fruit" and "colour"
|
|
for a set of images of fruit. The property "type of fruit" has the possible
|
|
classes: "apple", "pear" and "orange". The property "colour" has the
|
|
possible classes: "green", "red", "yellow" and "orange". Each sample is an
|
|
image of a fruit, a label is output for both properties and each label is
|
|
one of the possible classes of the corresponding property.
|
|
|
|
Note that all classifiers handling multiclass-multioutput (also known as
|
|
multitask classification) tasks, support the multilabel classification task
|
|
as a special case. Multitask classification is similar to the multioutput
|
|
classification task with different model formulations. For more information,
|
|
see the relevant estimator documentation.

Multioutput regression
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
**Multioutput regression** predicts multiple numerical properties for each
|
|
sample. Each property is a numerical variable and the number of properties
|
|
to be predicted for each sample is greater than or equal to 2. Some estimators
|
|
that support multioutput regression are faster than just running ``n_output``
|
|
estimators.
|
|
|
|
For example, prediction of both wind speed and wind direction, in degrees,
|
|
using data obtained at a certain location. Each sample would be data
|
|
obtained at one location and both wind speed and direction would be
|
|
output for each sample.
|
|
|
|

MultiOutputRegressor
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Multioutput regression support can be added to any regressor with
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputRegressor`. This strategy consists of
|
|
fitting one regressor per target. Since each target is represented by exactly
|
|
one regressor it is possible to gain knowledge about the target by
|
|
inspecting its corresponding regressor. As
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputRegressor` fits one regressor per
|
|
target it can not take advantage of correlations between targets.
|
|

>>> from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
|
|
>>> from sklearn.multioutput import MultiOutputRegressor
|
|
>>> from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor
|
|
>>> X, y = make_regression(n_samples=10, n_targets=3, random_state=1)
|
|
>>> MultiOutputRegressor(GradientBoostingRegressor(random_state=0)).fit(X, y).predict(X)

|
|
|
Regressor chains (see :class:`~sklearn.multioutput.RegressorChain`) is
|

analogous to :class:`~sklearn.multioutput.ClassifierChain` as a way of
|
|
combining a number of regressions into a single multi-target model that is
|

capable of exploiting correlations among targets.
