Installation

You can install nyaggle via pip:

pip install nyaggle

Examples

Experiment Tracking

run_experiment() is a high-level API for experiments with cross validation. It outputs parameters, metrics, out of fold predictions, test predictions, feature importance, and submission.csv under the specified directory.

To enable mlflow tracking, include the optional with_mlflow=True parameter.

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from nyaggle.experiment import run_experiment
from nyaggle.testing import make_classification_df

X, y = make_classification_df()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y)

params = {
    'n_estimators': 1000,
    'max_depth': 8
}

result = run_experiment(params,
                        X_train,
                        y_train,
                        X_test)

# You can get outputs that are needed in data science competitions with 1 API

print(result.test_prediction)  # Test prediction in numpy array
print(result.oof_prediction)   # Out-of-fold prediction in numpy array
print(result.models)           # Trained models for each fold
print(result.importance)       # Feature importance for each fold
print(result.metrics)          # Evalulation metrics for each fold
print(result.time)             # Elapsed time
print(result.submission_df)    # The output dataframe saved as submission.csv

# ...and all outputs have been saved under the logging directory (default: output/yyyymmdd_HHMMSS).


# You can use it with mlflow and track your experiments through mlflow-ui
result = run_experiment(params,
                        X_train,
                        y_train,
                        X_test,
                        with_mlflow=True)

nyaggle also has a low-level API which has similar interface to mlflow tracking and wandb.

from nyaggle.experiment import Experiment

with Experiment(logging_directory='./output/') as exp:
    # log key-value pair as a parameter
    exp.log_param('lr', 0.01)
    exp.log_param('optimizer', 'adam')

    # log text
    exp.log('blah blah blah')

    # log metric
    exp.log_metric('CV', 0.85)

    # log numpy ndarray, pandas dafaframe and any artifacts
    exp.log_numpy('predicted', predicted)
    exp.log_dataframe('submission', sub, file_format='csv')
    exp.log_artifact('path-to-your-file')

Feature Engineering

Target Encoding with K-Fold

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

from sklearn.model_selection import KFold
from nyaggle.feature.category_encoder import TargetEncoder


train = pd.read_csv('train.csv')
test = pd.read_csv('test.csv')
all = pd.concat([train, test]).copy()

cat_cols = [c for c in train.columns if train[c].dtype == np.object]
target_col = 'y'

kf = KFold(5)

# Target encoding with K-fold
te = TargetEncoder(kf.split(train))

# use fit/fit_transform to train data, then apply transform to test data
train.loc[:, cat_cols] = te.fit_transform(train[cat_cols], train[target_col])
test.loc[:, cat_cols] = te.transform(test[cat_cols])

# ... or just call fit_transform to concatenated data
all.loc[:, cat_cols] = te.fit_transform(all[cat_cols], all[cat_cols])

Text Vectorization using BERT

You need to install pytorch to your virtual environment to use BertSentenceVectorizer. MaCab and mecab-python3 are also required if you use the Japanese BERT model.

import pandas as pd
from nyaggle.feature.nlp import BertSentenceVectorizer


train = pd.read_csv('train.csv')
test = pd.read_csv('test.csv')
all = pd.concat([train, test]).copy()

text_cols = ['body']
target_col = 'y'
group_col = 'user_id'


# extract BERT-based sentence vector
bv = BertSentenceVectorizer(text_columns=text_cols)

text_vector = bv.fit_transform(train)


# BERT + SVD, with cuda
bv = BertSentenceVectorizer(text_columns=text_cols, use_cuda=True, n_components=40)

text_vector_svd = bv.fit_transform(train)

# Japanese BERT
bv = BertSentenceVectorizer(text_columns=text_cols, lang='jp')

japanese_text_vector = bv.fit_transform(train)

Adversarial Validation

import pandas as pd
from nyaggle.validation import adversarial_validate

train = pd.read_csv('train.csv')
test = pd.read_csv('test.csv')

auc, importance = adversarial_validate(train, test, importance_type='gain')

Validation Splitters

nyaggle provides a set of validation splitters that are compatible with sklearn.

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_validate, KFold
from nyaggle.validation import TimeSeriesSplit, Take, Skip, Nth

train = pd.read_csv('train.csv', parse_dates='dt')

# time-series split
ts = TimeSeriesSplit(train['dt'])
ts.add_fold(train_interval=('2019-01-01', '2019-01-10'), test_interval=('2019-01-10', '2019-01-20'))
ts.add_fold(train_interval=('2019-01-06', '2019-01-15'), test_interval=('2019-01-15', '2019-01-25'))

cross_validate(..., cv=ts)

# take the first 3 folds out of 10
cross_validate(..., cv=Take(3, KFold(10)))

# skip the first 3 folds, and evaluate the remaining 7 folds
cross_validate(..., cv=Skip(3, KFold(10)))

# evaluate 1st fold
cross_validate(..., cv=Nth(1, ts))
