An implementation of the AdaBoost.MH (Adaptive Boosting) algorithm for classification. This can be used to train an AdaBoost model on labeled data or use an existing AdaBoost model to predict the classes of new points.
adaboost( input_model = NA, iterations = NA, labels = NA, test = NA, tolerance = NA, training = NA, verbose = getOption("mlpack.verbose", FALSE), weak_learner = NA )
adaboost( input_model = NA, iterations = NA, labels = NA, test = NA, tolerance = NA, training = NA, verbose = getOption("mlpack.verbose", FALSE), weak_learner = NA )
input_model |
Input AdaBoost model (AdaBoostModel). |
iterations |
The maximum number of boosting iterations to be run (0 will run until convergence.. Default value "1000" (integer). |
labels |
Labels for the training set (integer row). |
test |
Test dataset (numeric matrix). |
tolerance |
The tolerance for change in values of the weighted error during training. Default value "1e-10" (numeric). |
training |
Dataset for training AdaBoost (numeric matrix). |
verbose |
Display informational messages and the full list of parameters and timers at the end of execution. Default value "getOption("mlpack.verbose", FALSE)" (logical). |
weak_learner |
The type of weak learner to use: 'decision_stump', or 'perceptron'. Default value "decision_stump" (character). |
This program implements the AdaBoost (or Adaptive Boosting) algorithm. The variant of AdaBoost implemented here is AdaBoost.MH. It uses a weak learner, either decision stumps or perceptrons, and over many iterations, creates a strong learner that is a weighted ensemble of weak learners. It runs these iterations until a tolerance value is crossed for change in the value of the weighted training error.
For more information about the algorithm, see the paper "Improved Boosting Algorithms Using Confidence-Rated Predictions", by R.E. Schapire and Y. Singer.
This program allows training of an AdaBoost model, and then application of that model to a test dataset. To train a model, a dataset must be passed with the "training" option. Labels can be given with the "labels" option; if no labels are specified, the labels will be assumed to be the last column of the input dataset. Alternately, an AdaBoost model may be loaded with the "input_model" option.
Once a model is trained or loaded, it may be used to provide class predictions for a given test dataset. A test dataset may be specified with the "test" parameter. The predicted classes for each point in the test dataset are output to the "predictions" output parameter. The AdaBoost model itself is output to the "output_model" output parameter.
A list with several components:
output_model |
Output trained AdaBoost model (AdaBoostModel). |
predictions |
Predicted labels for the test set (integer row). |
probabilities |
Predicted class probabilities for each point in the test set (numeric matrix). |

This program implements two strategies for furthest neighbor search. These strategies are:
- The 'qdafn' algorithm from "Approximate Furthest Neighbor in High Dimensions" by R. Pagh, F. Silvestri, J. Sivertsen, and M. Skala, in Similarity Search and Applications 2015 (SISAP). - The 'DrusillaSelect' algorithm from "Fast approximate furthest neighbors with data-dependent candidate selection", by R.R. Curtin and A.B. Gardner, in Similarity Search and Applications 2016 (SISAP).
These two strategies give approximate results for the furthest neighbor search problem and can be used as fast replacements for other furthest neighbor techniques such as those found in the mlpack_kfn program. Note that typically, the 'ds' algorithm requires far fewer tables and projections than the 'qdafn' algorithm.
Specify a reference set (set to search in) with "reference", specify a query set with "query", and specify algorithm parameters with "num_tables" and "num_projections" (or don't and defaults will be used). The algorithm to be used (either 'ds'—the default—or 'qdafn') may be specified with "algorithm". Also specify the number of neighbors to search for with "k".
Note that for 'qdafn' in lower dimensions, "num_projections" may need to be set to a high value in order to return results for each query point.
If no query set is specified, the reference set will be used as the query set. The "output_model" output parameter may be used to store the built model, and an input model may be loaded instead of specifying a reference set with the "input_model" option.
Results for each query point can be stored with the "neighbors" and "distances" output parameters. Each row of these output matrices holds the k distances or neighbor indices for each query point.
A list with several components:
distances |
Matrix to save furthest neighbor distances to (numeric matrix). |
neighbors |
Matrix to save neighbor indices to (integer matrix). |
output_model |
File to save output model to (ApproxKFNModel). |

An implementation of the bayesian linear regression. This model is a probabilistic view and implementation of the linear regression. The final solution is obtained by computing a posterior distribution from gaussian likelihood and a zero mean gaussian isotropic prior distribution on the solution. Optimization is AUTOMATIC and does not require cross validation. The optimization is performed by maximization of the evidence function. Parameters are tuned during the maximization of the marginal likelihood. This procedure includes the Ockham's razor that penalizes over complex solutions.
This program is able to train a Bayesian linear regression model or load a model from file, output regression predictions for a test set, and save the trained model to a file.
To train a BayesianLinearRegression model, the "input" and "responses"parameters must be given. The "center"and "scale" parameters control the centering and the normalizing options. A trained model can be saved with the "output_model". If no training is desired at all, a model can be passed via the "input_model" parameter.
The program can also provide predictions for test data using either the trained model or the given input model. Test points can be specified with the "test" parameter. Predicted responses to the test points can be saved with the "predictions" output parameter. The corresponding standard deviation can be save by precising the "stds" parameter.
A list with several components:
output_model |
Output BayesianLinearRegression model (BayesianLinearRegression). |
predictions |
If –test_file is specified, this file is where the predicted responses will be saved (numeric matrix). |
stds |
If specified, this is where the standard deviations of the predictive distribution will be saved (numeric matrix). |

This program performs collaborative filtering (CF) on the given dataset. Given a list of user, item and preferences (the "training" parameter), the program will perform a matrix decomposition and then can perform a series of actions related to collaborative filtering. Alternately, the program can load an existing saved CF model with the "input_model" parameter and then use that model to provide recommendations or predict values.
The input matrix should be a 3-dimensional matrix of ratings, where the first dimension is the user, the second dimension is the item, and the third dimension is that user's rating of that item. Both the users and items should be numeric indices, not names. The indices are assumed to start from 0.
A set of query users for which recommendations can be generated may be specified with the "query" parameter; alternately, recommendations may be generated for every user in the dataset by specifying the "all_user_recommendations" parameter. In addition, the number of recommendations per user to generate can be specified with the "recommendations" parameter, and the number of similar users (the size of the neighborhood) to be considered when generating recommendations can be specified with the "neighborhood" parameter.

This program implements the DBSCAN algorithm for clustering using accelerated tree-based range search. The type of tree that is used may be parameterized, or brute-force range search may also be used.
The input dataset to be clustered may be specified with the "input" parameter; the radius of each range search may be specified with the "epsilon" parameters, and the minimum number of points in a cluster may be specified with the "min_size" parameter.
The "assignments" and "centroids" output parameters may be used to save the output of the clustering. "assignments" contains the cluster assignments of each point, and "centroids" contains the centroids of each cluster.
The range search may be controlled with the "tree_type", "single_mode", and "naive" parameters. "tree_type" can control the type of tree used for range search; this can take a variety of values: 'kd', 'r', 'r-star', 'x', 'hilbert-r', 'r-plus', 'r-plus-plus', 'cover', 'ball'. The "single_mode" parameter will force single-tree search (as opposed to the default dual-tree search), and '"naive" will force brute-force range search.

assignments |
Output matrix for assignments of each point (integer row). |
centroids |
Matrix to save output centroids to (numeric matrix). |

Train and evaluate using a decision tree. Given a dataset containing numeric or categorical features, and associated labels for each point in the dataset, this program can train a decision tree on that data.
The training set and associated labels are specified with the "training" and "labels" parameters, respectively. The labels should be in the range '[0, num_classes - 1]'. Optionally, if "labels" is not specified, the labels are assumed to be the last dimension of the training dataset.
When a model is trained, the "output_model" output parameter may be used to save the trained model. A model may be loaded for predictions with the "input_model" parameter. The "input_model" parameter may not be specified when the "training" parameter is specified. The "minimum_leaf_size" parameter specifies the minimum number of training points that must fall into each leaf for it to be split. The "minimum_gain_split" parameter specifies the minimum gain that is needed for the node to split. The "maximum_depth" parameter specifies the maximum depth of the tree. If "print_training_accuracy" is specified, the training accuracy will be printed.
Test data may be specified with the "test" parameter, and if performance numbers are desired for that test set, labels may be specified with the "test_labels" parameter. Predictions for each test point may be saved via the "predictions" output parameter. Class probabilities for each prediction may be saved with the "probabilities" output parameter.

This program performs a number of functions related to Density Estimation Trees. The optimal Density Estimation Tree (DET) can be trained on a set of data (specified by "training") using cross-validation (with number of folds specified with the "folds" parameter). This trained density estimation tree may then be saved with the "output_model" output parameter.
The variable importances (that is, the feature importance values for each dimension) may be saved with the "vi" output parameter, and the density estimates for each training point may be saved with the "training_set_estimates" output parameter.
Enabling path printing for each node outputs the path from the root node to a leaf for each entry in the test set, or training set (if a test set is not provided). Strings like 'LRLRLR' (indicating that traversal went to the left child, then the right child, then the left child, and so forth) will be output. If 'lr-id' or 'id-lr' are given as the "path_format" parameter, then the ID (tag) of every node along the path will be printed after or before the L or R character indicating the direction of traversal, respectively.
This program also can provide density estimates for a set of test points, specified in the "test" parameter. The density estimation tree used for this task will be the tree that was trained on the given training points, or a tree given as the parameter "input_model".

This program takes a parametric estimate of a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) using the EM algorithm to find the maximum likelihood estimate. The model may be saved and reused by other mlpack GMM tools.
The input data to train on must be specified with the "input" parameter, and the number of Gaussians in the model must be specified with the "gaussians" parameter. Optionally, many trials with different random initializations may be run, and the result with highest log-likelihood on the training data will be taken. The number of trials to run is specified with the "trials" parameter. By default, only one trial is run.
The tolerance for convergence and maximum number of iterations of the EM algorithm are specified with the "tolerance" and "max_iterations" parameters, respectively. The GMM may be initialized for training with another model, specified with the "input_model" parameter. Otherwise, the model is initialized by running k-means on the data. The k-means clustering initialization can be controlled with the "kmeans_max_iterations", "refined_start", "samplings", and "percentage" parameters. If "refined_start" is specified, then the Bradley-Fayyad refined start initialization will be used. This can often lead to better clustering results.
The 'diagonal_covariance' flag will cause the learned covariances to be diagonal matrices. This significantly simplifies the model itself and causes training to be faster, but restricts the ability to fit more complex GMMs.
If GMM training fails with an error indicating that a covariance matrix could not be inverted, make sure that the "no_force_positive" parameter is not specified. Alternately, adding a small amount of Gaussian noise (using the "noise" parameter) to the entire dataset may help prevent Gaussians with zero variance in a particular dimension, which is usually the cause of non-invertible covariance matrices.
The "no_force_positive" parameter, if set, will avoid the checks after each iteration of the EM algorithm which ensure that the covariance matrices are positive definite. Specifying the flag can cause faster runtime, but may also cause non-positive definite covariance matrices, which will cause the program to crash.

This program allows a Hidden Markov Model to be trained on labeled or unlabeled data. It supports four types of HMMs: Discrete HMMs, Gaussian HMMs, GMM HMMs, or Diagonal GMM HMMs
Either one input sequence can be specified (with "input_file"), or, a file containing files in which input sequences can be found (when "input_file"and"batch" are used together). In addition, labels can be provided in the file specified by "labels_file", and if "batch" is used, the file given to "labels_file" should contain a list of files of labels corresponding to the sequences in the file given to "input_file".
The HMM is trained with the Baum-Welch algorithm if no labels are provided. The tolerance of the Baum-Welch algorithm can be set with the "tolerance"option. By default, the transition matrix is randomly initialized and the emission distributions are initialized to fit the extent of the data.
Optionally, a pre-created HMM model can be used as a guess for the transition matrix and emission probabilities; this is specifiable with "output_model".

This program implements Hoeffding trees, a form of streaming decision tree suited best for large (or streaming) datasets. This program supports both categorical and numeric data. Given an input dataset, this program is able to train the tree with numerous training options, and save the model to a file. The program is also able to use a trained model or a model from file in order to predict classes for a given test set.
The training file and associated labels are specified with the "training" and "labels" parameters, respectively. Optionally, if "labels" is not specified, the labels are assumed to be the last dimension of the training dataset.
The training may be performed in batch mode (like a typical decision tree algorithm) by specifying the "batch_mode" option, but this may not be the best option for large datasets.
When a model is trained, it may be saved via the "output_model" output parameter. A model may be loaded from file for further training or testing with the "input_model" parameter.
Test data may be specified with the "test" parameter, and if performance statistics are desired for that test set, labels may be specified with the "test_labels" parameter. Predictions for each test point may be saved with the "predictions" output parameter, and class probabilities for each prediction may be saved with the "probabilities" output parameter.

output_model |
Output for trained Hoeffding tree model (HoeffdingTreeModel). |
predictions |
Matrix to output label predictions for test data into (integer row). |
probabilities |
In addition to predicting labels, provide rediction probabilities in this matrix (numeric matrix). |

This program performs a Kernel Density Estimation. KDE is a non-parametric way of estimating probability density function. For each query point the program will estimate its probability density by applying a kernel function to each reference point. The computational complexity of this is O(N^2) where there are N query points and N reference points, but this implementation will typically see better performance as it uses an approximate dual or single tree algorithm for acceleration.
Dual or single tree optimization avoids many barely relevant calculations (as kernel function values decrease with distance), so it is an approximate computation. You can specify the maximum relative error tolerance for each query value with "rel_error" as well as the maximum absolute error tolerance with the parameter "abs_error". This program runs using an Euclidean metric. Kernel function can be selected using the "kernel" option. You can also choose what which type of tree to use for the dual-tree algorithm with "tree". It is also possible to select whether to use dual-tree algorithm or single-tree algorithm using the "algorithm" option.
Monte Carlo estimations can be used to accelerate the KDE estimate when the Gaussian Kernel is used. This provides a probabilistic guarantee on the the error of the resulting KDE instead of an absolute guarantee.To enable Monte Carlo estimations, the "monte_carlo" flag can be used, and success probability can be set with the "mc_probability" option. It is possible to set the initial sample size for the Monte Carlo estimation using "initial_sample_size". This implementation will only consider a node, as a candidate for the Monte Carlo estimation, if its number of descendant nodes is bigger than the initial sample size. This can be controlled using a coefficient that will multiply the initial sample size and can be set using "mc_entry_coef". To avoid using the same amount of computations an exact approach would take, this program recurses the tree whenever a fraction of the amount of the node's descendant points have already been computed. This fraction is set using "mc_break_coef".

This program performs Kernel Principal Components Analysis (KPCA) on the specified dataset with the specified kernel. This will transform the data onto the kernel principal components, and optionally reduce the dimensionality by ignoring the kernel principal components with the smallest eigenvalues.
For the case where a linear kernel is used, this reduces to regular PCA.
The kernels that are supported are listed below:
* 'linear': the standard linear dot product (same as normal PCA): 'K(x, y) = x^T y'
* 'gaussian': a Gaussian kernel; requires bandwidth: 'K(x, y) = exp(-(|| x - y || ^ 2) / (2 * (bandwidth ^ 2)))'
* 'polynomial': polynomial kernel; requires offset and degree: 'K(x, y) = (x^T y + offset) ^ degree'
* 'hyptan': hyperbolic tangent kernel; requires scale and offset: 'K(x, y) = tanh(scale * (x^T y) + offset)'
* 'laplacian': Laplacian kernel; requires bandwidth: 'K(x, y) = exp(-(|| x - y ||) / bandwidth)'
* 'epanechnikov': Epanechnikov kernel; requires bandwidth: 'K(x, y) = max(0, 1 - || x - y ||^2 / bandwidth^2)'
* 'cosine': cosine distance: 'K(x, y) = 1 - (x^T y) / (|| x || * || y ||)'
The parameters for each of the kernels should be specified with the options "bandwidth", "kernel_scale", "offset", or "degree" (or a combination of those parameters).
Optionally, the Nystroem method ("Using the Nystroem method to speed up kernel machines", 2001) can be used to calculate the kernel matrix by specifying the "nystroem_method" parameter. This approach works by using a subset of the data as basis to reconstruct the kernel matrix; to specify the sampling scheme, the "sampling" parameter is used. The sampling scheme for the Nystroem method can be chosen from the following list: 'kmeans', 'random', 'ordered'.

This program performs K-Means clustering on the given dataset. It can return the learned cluster assignments, and the centroids of the clusters. Empty clusters are not allowed by default; when a cluster becomes empty, the point furthest from the centroid of the cluster with maximum variance is taken to fill that cluster.
Optionally, the strategy to choose initial centroids can be specified. The k-means++ algorithm can be used to choose initial centroids with the "kmeans_plus_plus" parameter. The Bradley and Fayyad approach ("Refining initial points for k-means clustering", 1998) can be used to select initial points by specifying the "refined_start" parameter. This approach works by taking random samplings of the dataset; to specify the number of samplings, the "samplings" parameter is used, and to specify the percentage of the dataset to be used in each sample, the "percentage" parameter is used (it should be a value between 0.0 and 1.0).
There are several options available for the algorithm used for each Lloyd iteration, specified with the "algorithm" option. The standard O(kN) approach can be used ('naive'). Other options include the Pelleg-Moore tree-based algorithm ('pelleg-moore'), Elkan's triangle-inequality based algorithm ('elkan'), Hamerly's modification to Elkan's algorithm ('hamerly'), the dual-tree k-means algorithm ('dualtree'), and the dual-tree k-means algorithm using the cover tree ('dualtree-covertree').
The behavior for when an empty cluster is encountered can be modified with the "allow_empty_clusters" option. When this option is specified and there is a cluster owning no points at the end of an iteration, that cluster's centroid will simply remain in its position from the previous iteration. If the "kill_empty_clusters" option is specified, then when a cluster owns no points at the end of an iteration, the cluster centroid is simply filled with DBL_MAX, killing it and effectively reducing k for the rest of the computation. Note that the default option when neither empty cluster option is specified can be time-consuming to calculate; therefore, specifying either of these parameters will often accelerate runtime.
Initial clustering assignments may be specified using the "initial_centroids" parameter, and the maximum number of iterations may be specified with the "max_iterations" parameter.
A list with several components:
centroid |
If specified, the centroids of each cluster will be written to the given file (numeric matrix). |
output |

An implementation of LARS: Least Angle Regression (Stagewise/laSso). This is a stage-wise homotopy-based algorithm for L1-regularized linear regression (LASSO) and L1+L2-regularized linear regression (Elastic Net).
This program is able to train a LARS/LASSO/Elastic Net model or load a model from file, output regression predictions for a test set, and save the trained model to a file. The LARS algorithm is described in more detail below:
Let X be a matrix where each row is a point and each column is a dimension, and let y be a vector of targets.
The Elastic Net problem is to solve
min_beta 0.5 || X * beta - y ||_2^2 + lambda_1 ||beta||_1 + 0.5 lambda_2 ||beta||_2^2
If lambda1 > 0 and lambda2 = 0, the problem is the LASSO. If lambda1 > 0 and lambda2 > 0, the problem is the Elastic Net. If lambda1 = 0 and lambda2 > 0, the problem is ridge regression. If lambda1 = 0 and lambda2 = 0, the problem is unregularized linear regression.
For efficiency reasons, it is not recommended to use this algorithm with "lambda1" = 0. In that case, use the 'linear_regression' program, which implements both unregularized linear regression and ridge regression.
To train a LARS/LASSO/Elastic Net model, the "input" and "responses" parameters must be given. The "lambda1", "lambda2", and "use_cholesky" parameters control the training options. A trained model can be saved with the "output_model". If no training is desired at all, a model can be passed via the "input_model" parameter.
The program can also provide predictions for test data using either the trained model or the given input model. Test points can be specified with the "test" parameter. Predicted responses to the test points can be saved with the "output_predictions" output parameter.

output_model |

An implementation of simple linear regression and simple ridge regression using ordinary least squares. This solves the problem
y = X * b + e
where X (specified by "training") and y (specified either as the last column of the input matrix "training" or via the "training_responses" parameter) are known and b is the desired variable. If the covariance matrix (X'X) is not invertible, or if the solution is overdetermined, then specify a Tikhonov regularization constant (with "lambda") greater than 0, which will regularize the covariance matrix to make it invertible. The calculated b may be saved with the "output_predictions" output parameter.
Optionally, the calculated value of b is used to predict the responses for another matrix X' (specified by the "test" parameter):
y' = X' * b
and the predicted responses y' may be saved with the "output_predictions" output parameter. This type of regression is related to least-angle regression, which mlpack implements as the 'lars' program.

An implementation of linear SVMs that uses either L-BFGS or parallel SGD (stochastic gradient descent) to train the model.
This program allows loading a linear SVM model (via the "input_model" parameter) or training a linear SVM model given training data (specified with the "training" parameter), or both those things at once. In addition, this program allows classification on a test dataset (specified with the "test" parameter) and the classification results may be saved with the "predictions" output parameter. The trained linear SVM model may be saved using the "output_model" output parameter.
The training data, if specified, may have class labels as its last dimension. Alternately, the "labels" parameter may be used to specify a separate vector of labels.
When a model is being trained, there are many options. L2 regularization (to prevent overfitting) can be specified with the "lambda" option, and the number of classes can be manually specified with the "num_classes"and if an intercept term is not desired in the model, the "no_intercept" parameter can be specified.Margin of difference between correct class and other classes can be specified with the "delta" option.The optimizer used to train the model can be specified with the "optimizer" parameter. Available options are 'psgd' (parallel stochastic gradient descent) and 'lbfgs' (the L-BFGS optimizer). There are also various parameters for the optimizer; the "max_iterations" parameter specifies the maximum number of allowed iterations, and the "tolerance" parameter specifies the tolerance for convergence. For the parallel SGD optimizer, the "step_size" parameter controls the step size taken at each iteration by the optimizer and the maximum number of epochs (specified with "epochs"). If the objective function for your data is oscillating between Inf and 0, the step size is probably too large. There are more parameters for the optimizers, but the C++ interface must be used to access these.
Optionally, the model can be used to predict the labels for another matrix of data points, if "test" is specified. The "test" parameter can be specified without the "training" parameter, so long as an existing linear SVM model is given with the "input_model" parameter. The output predictions from the linear SVM model may be saved with the "predictions" parameter.

This program implements Large Margin Nearest Neighbors, a distance learning technique. The method seeks to improve k-nearest-neighbor classification on a dataset. The method employes the strategy of reducing distance between similar labeled data points (a.k.a target neighbors) and increasing distance between differently labeled points (a.k.a impostors) using standard optimization techniques over the gradient of the distance between data points.
To work, this algorithm needs labeled data. It can be given as the last row of the input dataset (specified with "input"), or alternatively as a separate matrix (specified with "labels"). Additionally, a starting point for optimization (specified with "distance"can be given, having (r x d) dimensionality. Here r should satisfy 1 <= r <= d, Consequently a Low-Rank matrix will be optimized. Alternatively, Low-Rank distance can be learned by specifying the "rank"parameter (A Low-Rank matrix with uniformly distributed values will be used as initial learning point).
The program also requires number of targets neighbors to work with ( specified with "k"), A regularization parameter can also be passed, It acts as a trade of between the pulling and pushing terms (specified with "regularization"), In addition, this implementation of LMNN includes a parameter to decide the interval after which impostors must be re-calculated (specified with "update_interval").
Output can either be the learned distance matrix (specified with "output"), or the transformed dataset (specified with "transformed_data"), or both. Additionally mean-centered dataset (specified with "centered_data") can be accessed given mean-centering (specified with "center") is performed on the dataset. Accuracy on initial dataset and final transformed dataset can be printed by specifying the "print_accuracy"parameter.
This implementation of LMNN uses AdaGrad, BigBatch_SGD, stochastic gradient descent, mini-batch stochastic gradient descent, or the L_BFGS optimizer.
AdaGrad, specified by the value 'adagrad' for the parameter "optimizer", uses maximum of past squared gradients. It primarily on six parameters: the step size (specified with "step_size"), the batch size (specified with "batch_size"), the maximum number of passes (specified with "passes"). Inaddition, a normalized starting point can be used by specifying the "normalize" parameter.
BigBatch_SGD, specified by the value 'bbsgd' for the parameter "optimizer", depends primarily on four parameters: the step size (specified with "step_size"), the batch size (specified with "batch_size"), the maximum number of passes (specified with "passes"). In addition, a normalized starting point can be used by specifying the "normalize" parameter.
Stochastic gradient descent, specified by the value 'sgd' for the parameter "optimizer", depends primarily on three parameters: the step size (specified with "step_size"), the batch size (specified with "batch_size"), and the maximum number of passes (specified with "passes"). In addition, a normalized starting point can be used by specifying the "normalize" parameter. Furthermore, mean-centering can be performed on the dataset by specifying the "center"parameter.
The L-BFGS optimizer, specified by the value 'lbfgs' for the parameter "optimizer", uses a back-tracking line search algorithm to minimize a function. The following parameters are used by L-BFGS: "max_iterations", "tolerance"(the optimization is terminated when the gradient norm is below this value). For more details on the L-BFGS optimizer, consult either the mlpack L-BFGS documentation (in lbfgs.hpp) or the vast set of published literature on L-BFGS. In addition, a normalized starting point can be used by specifying the "normalize" parameter.
By default, the AMSGrad optimizer is used.

An implementation of Local Coordinate Coding (LCC), which codes data that approximately lives on a manifold using a variation of l1-norm regularized sparse coding. Given a dense data matrix X with n points and d dimensions, LCC seeks to find a dense dictionary matrix D with k atoms in d dimensions, and a coding matrix Z with n points in k dimensions. Because of the regularization method used, the atoms in D should lie close to the manifold on which the data points lie.
The original data matrix X can then be reconstructed as D * Z. Therefore, this program finds a representation of each point in X as a sparse linear combination of atoms in the dictionary D.
The coding is found with an algorithm which alternates between a dictionary step, which updates the dictionary D, and a coding step, which updates the coding matrix Z.
To run this program, the input matrix X must be specified (with -i), along with the number of atoms in the dictionary (-k). An initial dictionary may also be specified with the "initial_dictionary" parameter. The l1-norm regularization parameter is specified with the "lambda" parameter.

An implementation of L2-regularized logistic regression using either the L-BFGS optimizer or SGD (stochastic gradient descent). This solves the regression problem
y = (1 / 1 + e^-(X * b)).
In this setting, y corresponds to class labels and X corresponds to data.
This program allows loading a logistic regression model (via the "input_model" parameter) or training a logistic regression model given training data (specified with the "training" parameter), or both those things at once. In addition, this program allows classification on a test dataset (specified with the "test" parameter) and the classification results may be saved with the "predictions" output parameter. The trained logistic regression model may be saved using the "output_model" output parameter.
The training data, if specified, may have class labels as its last dimension. Alternately, the "labels" parameter may be used to specify a separate matrix of labels.
When a model is being trained, there are many options. L2 regularization (to prevent overfitting) can be specified with the "lambda" option, and the optimizer used to train the model can be specified with the "optimizer" parameter. Available options are 'sgd' (stochastic gradient descent) and 'lbfgs' (the L-BFGS optimizer). There are also various parameters for the optimizer; the "max_iterations" parameter specifies the maximum number of allowed iterations, and the "tolerance" parameter specifies the tolerance for convergence. For the SGD optimizer, the "step_size" parameter controls the step size taken at each iteration by the optimizer. The batch size for SGD is controlled with the "batch_size" parameter. If the objective function for your data is oscillating between Inf and 0, the step size is probably too large. There are more parameters for the optimizers, but the C++ interface must be used to access these.
For SGD, an iteration refers to a single point. So to take a single pass over the dataset with SGD, "max_iterations" should be set to the number of points in the dataset.
Optionally, the model can be used to predict the responses for another matrix of data points, if "test" is specified. The "test" parameter can be specified without the "training" parameter, so long as an existing logistic regression model is given with the "input_model" parameter. The output predictions from the logistic regression model may be saved with the "predictions" parameter.
This implementation of logistic regression does not support the general multi-class case but instead only the two-class case. Any labels must be either 0 or 1. For more classes, see the softmax regression implementation.

This program trains the Naive Bayes classifier on the given labeled training set, or loads a model from the given model file, and then may use that trained model to classify the points in a given test set.
The training set is specified with the "training" parameter. Labels may be either the last row of the training set, or alternately the "labels" parameter may be specified to pass a separate matrix of labels.
If training is not desired, a pre-existing model may be loaded with the "input_model" parameter.
The "incremental_variance" parameter can be used to force the training to use an incremental algorithm for calculating variance. This is slower, but can help avoid loss of precision in some cases.
If classifying a test set is desired, the test set may be specified with the "test" parameter, and the classifications may be saved with the "predictions"predictions parameter. If saving the trained model is desired, this may be done with the "output_model" output parameter.
A list with several components:

predictions |
The matrix in which the predicted labels for the test set will be written (integer row). |
probabilities |

This program implements Neighborhood Components Analysis, both a linear dimensionality reduction technique and a distance learning technique. The method seeks to improve k-nearest-neighbor classification on a dataset by scaling the dimensions. The method is nonparametric, and does not require a value of k. It works by using stochastic ("soft") neighbor assignments and using optimization techniques over the gradient of the accuracy of the neighbor assignments.
To work, this algorithm needs labeled data. It can be given as the last row of the input dataset (specified with "input"), or alternatively as a separate matrix (specified with "labels").
This implementation of NCA uses stochastic gradient descent, mini-batch stochastic gradient descent, or the L_BFGS optimizer. These optimizers do not guarantee global convergence for a nonconvex objective function (NCA's objective function is nonconvex), so the final results could depend on the random seed or other optimizer parameters.
Stochastic gradient descent, specified by the value 'sgd' for the parameter "optimizer", depends primarily on three parameters: the step size (specified with "step_size"), the batch size (specified with "batch_size"), and the maximum number of iterations (specified with "max_iterations"). In addition, a normalized starting point can be used by specifying the "normalize" parameter, which is necessary if many warnings of the form 'Denominator of p_i is 0!' are given. Tuning the step size can be a tedious affair. In general, the step size is too large if the objective is not mostly uniformly decreasing, or if zero-valued denominator warnings are being issued. The step size is too small if the objective is changing very slowly. Setting the termination condition can be done easily once a good step size parameter is found; either increase the maximum iterations to a large number and allow SGD to find a minimum, or set the maximum iterations to 0 (allowing infinite iterations) and set the tolerance (specified by "tolerance") to define the maximum allowed difference between objectives for SGD to terminate. Be careful—setting the tolerance instead of the maximum iterations can take a very long time and may actually never converge due to the properties of the SGD optimizer. Note that a single iteration of SGD refers to a single point, so to take a single pass over the dataset, set the value of the "max_iterations" parameter equal to the number of points in the dataset.
The L-BFGS optimizer, specified by the value 'lbfgs' for the parameter "optimizer", uses a back-tracking line search algorithm to minimize a function. The following parameters are used by L-BFGS: "num_basis" (specifies the number of memory points used by L-BFGS), "max_iterations", "armijo_constant", "wolfe", "tolerance" (the optimization is terminated when the gradient norm is below this value), "max_line_search_trials", "min_step", and "max_step" (which both refer to the line search routine). For more details on the L-BFGS optimizer, consult either the mlpack L-BFGS documentation (in lbfgs.hpp) or the vast set of published literature on L-BFGS.
By default, the SGD optimizer is used.

This program performs non-negative matrix factorization on the given dataset, storing the resulting decomposed matrices in the specified files. For an input dataset V, NMF decomposes V into two matrices W and H such that
V = W * H
where all elements in W and H are non-negative. If V is of size (n x m), then W will be of size (n x r) and H will be of size (r x m), where r is the rank of the factorization (specified by the "rank" parameter).
Optionally, the desired update rules for each NMF iteration can be chosen from the following list:
- multdist: multiplicative distance-based update rules (Lee and Seung 1999) - multdiv: multiplicative divergence-based update rules (Lee and Seung 1999) - als: alternating least squares update rules (Paatero and Tapper 1994)
The maximum number of iterations is specified with "max_iterations", and the minimum residue required for algorithm termination is specified with the "min_residue" parameter.

This program implements a perceptron, which is a single level neural network. The perceptron makes its predictions based on a linear predictor function combining a set of weights with the feature vector. The perceptron learning rule is able to converge, given enough iterations (specified using the "max_iterations" parameter), if the data supplied is linearly separable. The perceptron is parameterized by a matrix of weight vectors that denote the numerical weights of the neural network.
This program allows loading a perceptron from a model (via the "input_model" parameter) or training a perceptron given training data (via the "training" parameter), or both those things at once. In addition, this program allows classification on a test dataset (via the "test" parameter) and the classification results on the test set may be saved with the "predictions" output parameter. The perceptron model may be saved with the "output_model" output parameter.

The program does not modify the original file, but instead prints out the statistics to the console. The printed result will look like a table.
Optionally, width and precision of the output can be adjusted by a user using the "width" and "precision" parameters. A user can also select a specific dimension to analyze if there are too many dimensions. The "population" parameter can be specified when the dataset should be considered as a population. Otherwise, the dataset will be considered as a sample.

This utility takes a dataset and optionally labels and splits them into a training set and a test set. Before the split, the points in the dataset are randomly reordered. The percentage of the dataset to be used as the test set can be specified with the "test_ratio" parameter; the default is 0.2 (20
The output training and test matrices may be saved with the "training" and "test" output parameters.
Optionally, labels can also be split along with the data by specifying the "input_labels" parameter. Splitting labels works the same way as splitting the data. The output training and test labels may be saved with the "training_labels" and "test_labels" output parameters, respectively.

This program is an implementation of the standard random forest classification algorithm by Leo Breiman. A random forest can be trained and saved for later use, or a random forest may be loaded and predictions or class probabilities for points may be generated.
The training set and associated labels are specified with the "training" and "labels" parameters, respectively. The labels should be in the range '[0, num_classes - 1]'. Optionally, if "labels" is not specified, the labels are assumed to be the last dimension of the training dataset.

The "input_model" parameter may not be specified when the "training" parameter is specified. The "minimum_leaf_size" parameter specifies the minimum number of training points that must fall into each leaf for it to be split. The "num_trees" controls the number of trees in the random forest. The "minimum_gain_split" parameter controls the minimum required gain for a decision tree node to split. Larger values will force higher-confidence splits.

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" parameter and their corresponding labels with the "labels" parameter. The number of classes can be manually specified with the "number_of_classes" parameter, and the maximum number of iterations of the L-BFGS optimizer can be specified with the "max_iterations" parameter. The L2 regularization constant can be specified with the "lambda" parameter and if an intercept term is not desired in the model, the "no_intercept" parameter can be specified.
The trained model can be saved with the "output_model" output parameter. If training is not desired, but only testing is, a model can be loaded with the "input_model" parameter. At the current time, a loaded model cannot be trained further, so specifying both "input_model" and "training" is not allowed.
The program is also able to evaluate a model on test data. A test dataset can be specified with the "test" parameter. Class predictions can be saved with the "predictions" output parameter. If labels are specified for the test data with the "test_labels" parameter, then the program will print the accuracy of the predictions on the given test set and its corresponding labels.

output_model |
File to save trained softmax regression model to (SoftmaxRegression). |

An implementation of Sparse Coding with Dictionary Learning, which achieves sparsity via an l1-norm regularizer on the codes (LASSO) or an (l1+l2)-norm regularizer on the codes (the Elastic Net). Given a dense data matrix X with d dimensions and n points, sparse coding seeks to find a dense dictionary matrix D with k atoms in d dimensions, and a sparse coding matrix Z with n points in k dimensions.
The original data matrix X can then be reconstructed as Z * D. Therefore, this program finds a representation of each point in X as a sparse linear combination of atoms in the dictionary D.
The sparse coding is found with an algorithm which alternates between a dictionary step, which updates the dictionary D, and a sparse coding step, which updates the sparse coding matrix.
Once a dictionary D is found, the sparse coding model may be used to encode other matrices, and saved for future usage.
To run this program, either an input matrix or an already-saved sparse coding model must be specified. An input matrix may be specified with the "training" option, along with the number of atoms in the dictionary (specified with the "atoms" parameter). It is also possible to specify an initial dictionary for the optimization, with the "initial_dictionary" parameter. An input model may be specified with the "input_model" parameter.

Matrix to save the output sparse codes of the test matrix (–test_file) to (numeric matrix). |
dictionary |
Matrix to save the output dictionary to (numeric matrix). |
output_model |
