skmultilearn.ext.meka module¶

class skmultilearn.ext.Meka(meka_classifier=None, weka_classifier=None, java_command=None, meka_classpath=None)[source]¶

Bases: skmultilearn.base.base.MLClassifierBase

Wrapper for the MEKA classifier

Allows using MEKA, WEKA and some of MULAN classifiers from scikit-compatible API. For more information on how to use this class see the tutorial: Using the MEKA wrapper

Parameters:

meka_classifier (str) – The MEKA classifier string and parameters from the MEKA API, such as meka.classifiers.multilabel.MULAN -S RAkEL2 weka_classifier (str) – The WEKA classifier string and parameters from the WEKA API, such as weka.classifiers.trees.J48 java_command (str) – Path to test the java command meka_classpath (str) – Path to the MEKA class path folder, usually the folder lib in the directory MEKA was extracted into

output_¶

the full text output of MEKA command

Type:	str

Examples

Here’s an example of performing Label Powerset classification using MEKA with a WEKA Naive Bayes classifier.

from skmultilearn.ext import Meka, download_meka

meka = Meka(
    meka_classifier = "meka.classifiers.multilabel.LC",
    weka_classifier = "weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes",
    meka_classpath = download_meka(),
    java_command = '/usr/bin/java')

meka.fit(X_train, y_train)
predictions = meka.predict(X_test)

fit(X, y)[source]¶

Fits classifier to training data

Internally this method dumps X and y to temporary arff files and runs MEKA with relevant arguments using _run(). It uses a sparse DOK representation (scipy.sparse.dok_matrix) of the X matrix.

Parameters:	X (array_like, numpy.matrix or scipy.sparse matrix, shape=(n_samples, n_features)) – input feature matrix y (array_like, numpy.matrix or scipy.sparse matrix of {0, 1}, shape=(n_samples, n_labels)) – binary indicator matrix with label assignments
Returns:	fitted instance of self
Return type:	self

predict(X)[source]¶

Predict label assignments for X

Internally this method dumps X to temporary arff files and runs MEKA with relevant arguments using _run(). It uses a sparse DOK representation (scipy.sparse.dok_matrix) of the X matrix.

Parameters:	X (numpy.ndarray or scipy.sparse) – input features of shape (n_samples, n_features)
Returns:	sparse matrix of integers with shape (n_samples, n_features)
Return type:	scipy.sparse of int

skmultilearn.ext.download_meka(version=None)[source]¶

Downloads a given version of the MEKA library and returns its classpath

Parameters:	version (str) – the MEKA version to download, default falls back to currently supported version 1.9.2
Returns:	meka class path string for installed version
Return type:	string
Raises:	IOError – if unpacking the meka release file does not provide a proper setup Exception – if MD5 mismatch happens after a download error
