srlearn

_ _ _ _ _

srlearn is a Python package for learning statistical relational models, and wraps BoostSRL (and other implementations) with a scikit-learn interface.

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• Java (1.8, 1.11)
• Python (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10)

Installation

pip install srlearn

Basic Usage

The general setup should be similar to scikit-learn. But there are a few extra requirements in terms of setting background knowledge and formatting the data.

A minimal working example (using the Toy-Cancer data set imported with 'load_toy_cancer') is:

from srlearn.rdn import BoostedRDNClassifier
from srlearn import Background
from srlearn.datasets import load_toy_cancer
train, test = load_toy_cancer()
bk = Background(modes=train.modes)
clf = BoostedRDNClassifier(
    background=bk,
    target='cancer',
)
clf.fit(train)
clf.predict_proba(test)
# array([0.88079619, 0.88079619, 0.88079619, 0.3075821 , 0.3075821 ])
print(clf.classes_)
# array([1., 1., 1., 0., 0.])

train and test are each srlearn.Database objects, so this hides some of the complexity behind the scenes.

This example abstracts away some complexity in exchange for compactness. For more examples, see the Example Gallery.
