sklearn-export

This package is based on sklearn porter from https://github.com/nok/sklearn-porter. We choose to build it because sklearn porter saves data in matrix format. However, many popular algebra libraries (e.g., blas and lapack) are used to work with vectors. Then, sklearn-export saves the sklearn model data in Json format (matrices are stored in column major order). Note that, this is a beta version yet, then only some models and functionalities are supported.

New features (0.0.7)

The code was optimized and now it works with sklearn >= 0.24. Some complete examples were added (see Complete Examples section).

Support

Class	Details
sklearn.svm.SVC	C-Support Vector Classification. The multiclass support is handled according to a one-vs-one scheme.
sklearn.svm.NuSVC	Nu-Support Vector Classification. Similar to SVC but uses a parameter to control the number of support vectors.
sklearn.svc.LinearSVC	Linear Support Vector Classification.
sklearn.neural_network.MLPClassifier	Multi-layer Perceptron classifier.
sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor	Multi-layer Perceptron regressor.
sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegression	Logistic Regression (aka logit, MaxEnt) classifier.
sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression	Ordinary least squares Linear Regression.
sklearn.preprocessing.MinMaxScaler	Transforms features by scaling each feature to a given range.
sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler	Standardize features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance.
sklearn.svm.SVR	Epsilon-Support Vector Regression.
sklearn.svm.LinearSVR	Linear Support Vector Regression.

Observation: details were extracted from sklearn documentation.

Installation

We recommend to make a instalation using pip:

$ pip install sklearn_export

If you are using jupyter notebooks consider to install sklearn_export through a notebook cell. Then, you can type and execute the following:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install sklearn_export

Usage

Actually sklearn-export can save Classifiers, Regressions and some Scalers (see Support session).

Saving a model or scaler

The basic usage is to save a simple model.

# Basic imports
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn_export import Export
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPRegressor

# Load data and train model
samples = load_iris()
X, y = samples.data, samples.target
clf = MLPRegressor()
clf.fit(X, y)

# Save using sklearn_export
export = Export(clf)
result = export.to_json()

The result is a JSON file that can be loaded in any programing language that supports JSON.

Complete examples

Some complete examples are provided here.

Saving multiple models

The sklearn-export can also save more then one model in the same JSON file. This is usefull when you need to store a Classifier and a Scaler (for example). Currently, it is only possible to export a Model and a Scaler, but future upgrades will include multiple models.

# Basic imports
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn_export import Export
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPRegressor

# Load data
samples = load_iris()
X, y = samples.data, samples.target

# Normalize data
scaler = StandardScaler()
Xz = scaler.fit_transform(X)

# Train model with normalized data
clf = MLPRegressor()
clf.fit(Xz, y)

# Save a model and a scaler using sklearn_export
export = Export([scaler, clf])
result = export.to_json()

The result is a Json file that contains information about a Model and a Scaler. The file can be loaded in any programing language that supports JSON files.

Extra options

The method to_json() also support some other parameters:

Parameter	Details	Default
filename	Name of the output Json file	data.json
directory	Path to save the file	.
with_md5_hash	Include md5 hash in file name	False
