scikit-multilearn is a Python module capable of performing multi-label learning tasks. It is built on-top of various scientific Python packages (numpy, scipy) and follows a similar API to that of scikit-learn.
Native Python implementation. A native Python implementation for a variety of multi-label classification algorithms. To see the list of all supported classifiers, check this link.
Interface to Meka. A Meka wrapper class is implemented for reference purposes and integration. This provides access to all methods available in MEKA, MULAN, and WEKA — the reference standard in the field.
Builds upon giants! Team-up with the power of numpy and scikit. You can use scikit-learn's base classifiers as scikit-multilearn's classifiers. In addition, the two packages follow a similar API.
To install scikit-multilearn, simply type the following command:
$ pip install scikit-multilearn
This will install the latest release from the Python package index. If you wish to install the bleeding-edge version, then clone this repository and run setup.py:
$ git clone https://github.com/scikit-multilearn/scikit-multilearn.git $ cd scikit-multilearn $ python setup.py
In most cases requirements are installed when you install using pip install scikit-multilearn or run python setup.py install. There are also optional dependencies pip install scikit-multilearn[gpl,keras,meka] installs the GPL-incurring igraph for for igraph library based clusterers, keras for the keras classifiers and requirements for the meka bridge respectively.
To install openNE, run:
pip install 'openne @ git+https://github.com/thunlp/OpenNE.git@master#subdirectory=src'
Note that installing the GPL licensed graphtool, for graphtool based clusters, is complicated, and must be done manually, please see: graphtool install instructions
Before proceeding to classification, this library assumes that you have a dataset with the following matrices:
x_train, x_test: training and test feature matrices of size (n_samples, n_features)y_train, y_test: training and test label matrices of size (n_samples, n_labels)Suppose we wanted to use a problem-transformation method called Binary Relevance, which treats each label as a separate single-label classification problem, to a Support-vector machine (SVM) classifier, we simply perform the following tasks:
# Import BinaryRelevance from skmultilearn from skmultilearn.problem_transform import BinaryRelevance # Import SVC classifier from sklearn from sklearn.svm import SVC # Setup the classifier classifier = BinaryRelevance(classifier=SVC(), require_dense=[False,True]) # Train classifier.fit(X_train, y_train) # Predict y_pred = classifier.predict(X_test)
More examples and use-cases can be seen in the documentation. For using the MEKA wrapper, check this link.
