openmodels 0.1.0a20

Export scikit-learn model files to JSON for sharing or deploying predictive models with peace of mind.

OpenModels

OpenModels is a flexible and extensible library for serializing and deserializing machine learning models. It's designed to support any serialization format through a plugin-based architecture, providing a safe and transparent solution for exporting and sharing predictive models.

Key Features

• Format Agnostic: Supports any serialization format through a plugin-based system.
• Extensible: Easily add support for new model types and serialization formats.
• Safe: Provides alternatives to potentially unsafe serialization methods like Pickle.
• Transparent: Supports human-readable formats for easy inspection of serialized models.

Installation

pip install openmodels

Quick Start

from openmodels import SerializationManager, SklearnSerializer
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification

# Create and train a scikit-learn model
X, _ = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_features=4, n_informative=2, n_redundant=0, random_state=0, shuffle=False)
model = PCA(n_components=2, random_state=0)
model.fit(X)

# Create a SerializationManager
manager = SerializationManager(SklearnSerializer())

# Serialize the model (default format is JSON)
serialized_model = manager.serialize(model)

# Deserialize the model
deserialized_model = manager.deserialize(serialized_model)

# Use the deserialized model
transformed_data = deserialized_model.transform(X[:5])
print(transformed_data)

Saving and Loading Models

OpenModels provides high-level save and load methods for convenient file I/O:

# Serialize and save a model to a file in JSON format
manager.save(model, "model.json", format_name="json")

# Load and deserialize a model from a file
loaded_model = manager.load("model.json", format_name="json")

Extensibility

OpenModels is designed to be easily extended with new serialization formats and model types.

Adding a New Format

To add a new serialization format, create a class that implements the FormatConverter protocol and register it with the FormatRegistry:

from openmodels.protocols import FormatConverter
from openmodels.format_registry import FormatRegistry
from typing import Dict, Any

class YAMLConverter(FormatConverter):
    @staticmethod
    def serialize_to_format(data: Dict[str, Any]) -> str:
        import yaml
        return yaml.dump(data)

    @staticmethod
    def deserialize_from_format(formatted_data: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        import yaml
        return yaml.safe_load(formatted_data)

FormatRegistry.register("yaml", YAMLConverter)

Adding a New Model Serializer

To add support for a new type of model, create a class that implements the ModelSerializer protocol:

from openmodels.protocols import ModelSerializer
from typing import Any, Dict

class TensorFlowSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    def serialize(self, model: Any) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        # Implementation for serializing TensorFlow models
        ...

    def deserialize(self, data: Dict[str, Any]) -> Any:
        # Implementation for deserializing TensorFlow models
        ...

Supported Models (scikit-learn)

OpenModels currently supports a wide range of scikit-learn models, including:

• Classification: LogisticRegression, SVC, etc.
• Regression: LinearRegression, SVR, etc.
• Clustering: KMeans
• Dimensionality Reduction: PCA

For a full list of supported models, you can programmatically retrieve them using the SklearnSerializer.all_estimators() method:

from openmodels.serializers import SklearnSerializer

# Get all supported estimators (classifiers, regressors, etc.)
all_supported = SklearnSerializer.all_estimators()
print([name for name, cls in all_supported])

# To get only classifiers:
classifiers = SklearnSerializer.all_estimators(type_filter="classifier")
print([name for name, cls in classifiers])

# To get only regressors:
regressors = SklearnSerializer.all_estimators(type_filter="regressor")
print([name for name, cls in regressors])

This will print the names of all scikit-learn estimators supported by OpenModels, filtered to exclude those that are not currently supported.

Using Custom Estimators and Pipelines (Third-Party Support)

OpenModels can serialize and deserialize models and pipelines that include third-party estimators, such as those from chemotools.

from openmodels import SerializationManager, SklearnSerializer
from chemotools.utils.discovery import all_estimators  # chemotools >=0.2.2
from chemotools.derivative import SavitzkyGolay
from sklearn.cross_decomposition import PLSRegression
from sklearn.pipeline import make_pipeline

# Example data
from chemotools.datasets import load_fermentation_train
X_train, y_train = load_fermentation_train()

# Define a pipeline with chemotools preprocessing and sklearn estimator
pipeline = make_pipeline(
    SavitzkyGolay(window_size=3, polynomial_order=1, derivate_order=1),
    PLSRegression(n_components=2)
)

# Fit the pipeline
pipeline.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Serialize and deserialize the pipeline using OpenModels
serializer = SklearnSerializer(custom_estimators=all_estimators)
manager = SerializationManager(serializer)

serialized = manager.serialize(pipeline)
restored = manager.deserialize(serialized)

# Use the restored pipeline
y_train_pred = restored.predict(X_train)
print(y_train_pred)

You can pass any compatible all_estimators function, list, or dictionary to SklearnSerializer(custom_estimators=...) to extend support for custom or third-party estimators.

Acknowledgements

During the revision and design of OpenModels, we came across the discontinued project sklearn-json.
Although no longer maintained, it provided valuable ideas — particularly around testing approaches — that inspired parts of our implementation.
We would like to acknowledge and thank its authors for their earlier contributions to open model serialization efforts in the scikit-learn ecosystem.
