Mixture of experts

Mixture of experts for regression.

The mixture of experts (MoE) model expresses an output variable as the weighted sum of the outputs of local regression models, whose weights depend on the input data.

During the learning stage, the input space is divided into \(K\) clusters by a clustering model, then a classification model is built to map the input space to the cluster space, and finally a regression model \(f_k\) is built for the \(k\)-th cluster.

The classification may be either hard, in which case only one of the weights is equal to one, and the rest equal to zero:

\[y = \sum_{k=1}^K I_{C_k}(x) f_k(x),\]

or soft, in which case the weights express the probabilities of belonging to each cluster:

\[y = \sum_{k=1}^K \mathbb{P}(x \in C_k) f_k(x),\]

where \(x\) is the input data, \(y\) is the output data, \(K\) is the number of clusters, \((C_k)_{k=1,\cdots,K}\) are the input spaces associated to the clusters, \(I_{C_k}(x)\) is the indicator of class \(k\), \(\mathbb{P}(x \in C_k)\) is the probability that \(x\) belongs to cluster \(k\) and \(f_k(x)\) is the local regression model on cluster \(k\).

class gemseo.mlearning.regression.moe.MOERegressor(data, transformer=None, input_names=None, output_names=None, hard=True)[source]

Mixture of experts regression.

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.

  • input_names (Iterable[str] | None) –

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

    By default it is set to None.

  • output_names (Iterable[str] | None) –

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

    By default it is set to None.

  • hard (bool) –

    Whether clustering/classification should be hard or soft.

    By default it is set to True.

Raises

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