NAME

mlpack_softmax_regression - softmax regression

SYNOPSIS

mlpack_softmax_regression [ -m unknown ] [ -l unknown ] [ -r double ] [ -n int ] [ -N bool ] [ -c int ] [ -T unknown ] [ -L unknown ] [ -t unknown ] [ -V bool ] [ -M unknown ] [ -p unknown ] [ -P unknown ] [ -h -v ]

DESCRIPTION

This program performs softmax regression, a generalization of logistic regression to the multiclass case, and has support for L2 regularization. The program is able to train a model, load an existing model, and give predictions (and optionally their accuracy) for test data.

Training a softmax regression model is done by giving a file of training points with the ’ --training_file ( -t )’ parameter and their corresponding labels with the ’ --labels_file ( -l )’ parameter. The number of classes can be manually specified with the ’ --number_of_classes ( -c )’ parameter, and the maximum number of iterations of the L-BFGS optimizer can be specified with the ’ --max_iterations ( -n )’ parameter. The L2 regularization constant can be specified with the ’ --lambda ( -r )’ parameter and if an intercept term is not desired in the model, the ’ --no_intercept ( -N )’ parameter can be specified.

The trained model can be saved with the ’ --output_model_file ( -M )’ output parameter. If training is not desired, but only testing is, a model can be loaded with the ’ --input_model_file ( -m )’ parameter. At the current time, a loaded model cannot be trained further, so specifying both ’ --input_model_file ( -m )’ and ’ --training_file ( -t )’ is not allowed.

The program is also able to evaluate a model on test data. A test dataset can be specified with the ’ --test_file ( -T )’ parameter. Class predictions can be saved with the ’ --predictions_file ( -p )’ output parameter. If labels are specified for the test data with the ’ --test_labels_file ( -L )’ parameter, then the program will print the accuracy of the predictions on the given test set and its corresponding labels.

For example, to train a softmax regression model on the data ’dataset.csv’ with labels ’labels.csv’ with a maximum of 1000 iterations for training, saving the trained model to ’sr_model.bin’, the following command can be used:

$ mlpack_softmax_regression --training_file dataset.csv --labels_file labels.csv --output_model_file sr_model.bin

Then, to use ’sr_model.bin’ to classify the test points in ’test_points.csv’, saving the output predictions to ’predictions.csv’, the following command can be used:

$ mlpack_softmax_regression --input_model_file sr_model.bin --test_file test_points.csv --predictions_file predictions.csv
