biquality-learn

biquality-learn (or bqlearn in short) is a library à la scikit-learn for Biquality Learning.

Biquality Learning

Biquality Learning is a machine learning framework to train classifiers on Biquality Data, composed of an untrusted and a trusted dataset:

• The trusted dataset contains trustworthy samples with clean labels and proper feature distribution.
• The untrusted dataset contains potentially corrupted samples from label noise or covariate shift (distribution shift).

biquality-learn aims at making well-known and proven biquality learning algorithms accessible to everyone and help researchers experiment in a reproducible way on biquality data.

Install

biquality-learn requires multiple dependencies:

• numpy>=1.17.3
• scipy>=1.5.0
• scikit-learn>=1.2.0
• scs>=3.2.2

The package is available on PyPi. To install biquality-learn, run the following command :

pip install biquality-learn

A dev version is available on TestPyPi :

pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ biquality-learn

Quick Start

For a quick example, we are going to train one of the available biquality classifiers, KPDR, on the digits dataset with synthetic asymmetric label noise.

Loading Data

First, we must load the dataset with scikit-learn and split it into a trusted and untrusted dataset.

from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedShuffleSplit

X, y = load_digits(return_X_y=True)

trusted, untrusted = next(StratifiedShuffleSplit(train_size=0.1).split(X, y))

Simulating Label Noise

Then we generate label noise on the untrusted dataset.

from bqlearn.corruption import make_label_noise

y[untrusted] = make_label_noise(y[untrusted], "flip", noise_ratio=0.8)

Training Biquality Classifier

Finally, we train KKMM on the biquality dataset by providing the sample_quality metadata, indicating if a sample is trusted or untrusted.

from sklearn.linear_models import LogisticRegression
from bqlearn.density_ratio import KKMM

bqclf = KKMM(LogisticRegression(), kernel="rbf")

sample_quality = np.ones(X.shape[0])
sample_quality[untrusted] = 0

bqclf.fit(X, y, sample_quality=sample_quality)
bqclf.predict(X)
