Clustering

This module contains the base classes for clustering algorithms.

The cluster module implements the concept of clustering models, a kind of unsupervised machine learning algorithm where the goal is to group data into clusters. Wherever possible, these methods should be able to predict the class of the new data, as well as the probability of belonging to each class.

This concept is implemented through the MLClusteringAlgo class, which inherits from the MLUnsupervisedAlgo class, and through the MLPredictiveClusteringAlgo class which inherits from MLClusteringAlgo.

class gemseo.mlearning.cluster.cluster.MLClusteringAlgo(data, transformer=None, var_names=None, **parameters)

Clustering algorithm.

The inheriting classes shall overload the MLUnsupervisedAlgo._fit() method.

Parameters

• data (Dataset) – The learning dataset.

• transformer (Mapping[str, TransformerType] | None) –

  The strategies to transform the variables. The values are instances of Transformer while the keys are the names of either the variables or the groups of variables, e.g. “inputs” or “outputs” in the case of the regression algorithms. If a group is specified, the Transformer will be applied to all the variables of this group. If None, do not transform the variables.

  By default it is set to None.

• var_names (Iterable[str] | None) –

  The names of the variables. If None, consider all variables mentioned in the learning dataset.

  By default it is set to None.

• **parameters (MLAlgoParameterType) – The parameters of the machine learning algorithm.

Raises

ValueError – When both the variable and the group it belongs to have a transformer.

class DataFormatters

Decorators for the internal MLAlgo methods.

Noindex

learn(samples=None, fit_transformers=True)

Noindex

learn(samples=None, fit_transformers=True)

Train the machine learning algorithm from the learning dataset.

Parameters

• samples (Sequence[int] | None) –

  The indices of the learning samples. If None, use the whole learning dataset.

  By default it is set to None.

• fit_transformers (bool) –

  Whether to fit the variable transformers.

load_algo(directory)

Load a machine learning algorithm from a directory.

Parameters

directory (str | Path) – The path to the directory where the machine learning algorithm is saved.

Return type

None

predict(data)

Predict the clusters from the input data.

The user can specify these input data either as a NumPy array, e.g. array([1., 2., 3.]) or as a dictionary, e.g. {'a': array([1.]), 'b': array([2., 3.])}.

If the numpy arrays are of dimension 2, their i-th rows represent the input data of the i-th sample; while if the numpy arrays are of dimension 1, there is a single sample.

The type of the output data and the dimension of the output arrays will be consistent with the type of the input data and the dimension of the input arrays.

Parameters

data (DataType) – The input data.

Returns

The predicted cluster for each input data sample.

Return type

int | ndarray

predict_proba(data, hard=True)

Predict the probability of belonging to each cluster from input data.

The user can specified these input data either as a numpy array, e.g. array([1., 2., 3.]) or as a dictionary, e.g. {'a': array([1.]), 'b': array([2., 3.])}.

If the numpy arrays are of dimension 2, their i-th rows represent the input data of the i-th sample; while if the numpy arrays are of dimension 1, there is a single sample.

The dimension of the output array will be consistent with the dimension of the input arrays.

Parameters

• data (Union[numpy.ndarray, Mapping[str, numpy.ndarray]]) – The input data.

• hard (bool) –

  Whether clustering should be hard (True) or soft (False).

  By default it is set to True.

Returns
