AutoPrognosis: Automated Clinical Prognostic Modeling via Bayesian Optimization

Build Status

AutoPrognosis is a system for automating the design of ensembles of predictive modeling pipelines tailored for applications related to clinical prognosis. Each pipeline comprises various algorithms such as

  • Imputation and data processing algorithms.
  • Feature processing algorithms.
  • Classification algorithms.

The system operates using a Bayesian optimization algorithm that relies on structured kernel learning to solve the high-dimensional pipeline optimization problem. Technical details can be found in our ICML paper. An explanation of our algorithm can also be found in this video presentation.

Installation

Please refer to < /doc/install.md > for installation instructions.

Usage

You can use AutoPrognosis through its command line interface as follows

$ python3 autoprognosis.py -i <data.csv> --target <response variable> -o <outdir>  [ -n <num_sample> --it <num_iterations> ]

Once the above command is executed, the results can be found in two json files: /result.json and report.json. They can be shown with:

$ python3 autoprognosis_report.py -i <outdir>

A tutorial on how to use AutoPrognosis API can also be found in this Jupyter notebook.

Known issues

Acquisition function LCB generates excesive warnings

$ The set cost function is ignored! LCB acquisition does not make sense with cost.

This issue results from interfacing with GPyOpt's acquisition functions. The issue can be ignored.
