  • Constructor Details

    • LibLinearClassificationTrainer

      public LibLinearClassificationTrainer()
      Creates a trainer using the default values (LinearClassificationType.LinearType.L2R_L2LOSS_SVC_DUAL, 1, 0.1, Trainer.DEFAULT_SEED).

    • LibLinearClassificationTrainer

      public LibLinearClassificationTrainer(LinearClassificationType trainerType, double cost, double terminationCriterion)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinearClassificationModel.

      Uses Trainer.DEFAULT_SEED as the RNG seed. Sets maxIterations to 1000.

      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method combination.
      cost - Cost penalty for each incorrectly classified training point.
      terminationCriterion - How close does the optimisation function need to be before terminating that subproblem (usually set to 0.1).

    • LibLinearClassificationTrainer

      public LibLinearClassificationTrainer(LinearClassificationType trainerType, double cost, int maxIterations, double terminationCriterion)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinear model

      Uses Trainer.DEFAULT_SEED as the RNG seed.

      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method combination.
      cost - Cost penalty for each incorrectly classified training point.
      maxIterations - The maximum number of dataset iterations.
      terminationCriterion - How close does the optimisation function need to be before terminating that subproblem (usually set to 0.1).

    • LibLinearClassificationTrainer

      public LibLinearClassificationTrainer(LinearClassificationType trainerType, double cost, int maxIterations, double terminationCriterion, long seed)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinear model
      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method combination.
      cost - Cost penalty for each incorrectly classified training point.
      maxIterations - The maximum number of dataset iterations.
      terminationCriterion - How close does the optimisation function need to be before terminating that subproblem (usually set to 0.1).
      seed - The RNG seed.

  • Method Details

    • postConfig

      public void postConfig()

      protected List<de.bwaldvogel.liblinear.Model> trainModels(de.bwaldvogel.liblinear.Parameter curParams, int numFeatures, de.bwaldvogel.liblinear.FeatureNode[][] features, double[][] outputs)
      Description copied from class: LibLinearTrainer
      Train all the liblinear instances necessary for this dataset.
      Specified by:
      trainModels in class LibLinearTrainer<Label>
      Parameters:
      curParams - The LibLinear parameters.
      numFeatures - The number of features in this dataset.

      outputs - The outputs.
      Returns:
      A list of liblinear models.

    • createModel

      protected LibLinearModel<Label> createModel(ModelProvenance provenance, ImmutableFeatureMap featureIDMap, ImmutableOutputInfo<Label> outputIDInfo, List<de.bwaldvogel.liblinear.Model> models)
      Description copied from class: LibLinearTrainer
