Add transformer base class and adapt preprocessor / converter to fit + apply #4285

vinx13 · 2018-05-14T14:49:24Z

add transformer base class and make converter / preprocessor its direct subclasses
adapt CPreprocessor::init(CFeatures *) to fit, possibly call cleanup in fit if already fitted to support re-fit
cleanup type check in init of preprocessors, use CFeatures::as instead in apply phase
add parameter 'inplace' (default true) to preprocessor / converter :: apply, in which case transform in place if possible
drop CDimensionReductionPreprocessor since it is only a wrapper of converters and provides irrelevant things (kernel, distance, ..) for subtypes.
subclasses of CDimensionReductionPreprocessor inherit directly from `CDensePreprocessor<float64_t>
Make KernelPCA inherit from CPreprocessor since it can work with other types of features
refactor ICA converters into fit + apply

great start!

this could be a pure virtual function in order to be an abstract class, or?

some transformers actually do not need fitting, so i leave this a no-op

we could do before this an assertion for get_feature_class() == C_DENSE just to have a sane error message?

although .as has a quite good message as well...

if we know that this class is an abstract class for other classes that does conversion over CDenseFeatures<float64_t> then here it would be good to actually do the type mapping, meaning not to have this function pure virtual but implement something like this:

virtual void fit(CFeatures* features) { REQUIRE(features->get_feature_class() == C_DENSE, "ICA converters only work with dense features") fit((CDenseFeatures<float64_t>*)features); }

and have a pure virtual protected member function that has a declaration:

virtual void fit(CDenseFeatures<float64_t>*) = 0;

this way the casting thing you need to do it in one place, all the other places you can already assume CDenseFeatures<float64_t> as input.

why move this into implementation ?

the header is mixed with declaration and implementation, so i split into .h and .cpp as they are done in other template classes, e.g. DensePreprocessor

if this is pure virtual, then surely fit could be as well?
i'm not sure if i follow the logic here why fit has a default implementation and why the apply does not or vice versa.

there are many transformers that do not need fitting, we don't need to put a empty fit in every subclasses, but only one place here
but as for apply, it should always be implemented (except those abstract classes)

ah yeah i remember now... sorry short memory :(

mmm actually i've realised... dont we actually wanna follow actual transformer api, meaning
.fit and .transform ? :)

why do we drop CDimensionReductionPreprocessor? :)

CDimensionReductionPreprocessor is dropped from both cpp and interface.
It has fields like m_converter, m_kernel, m_distance but they are not used by subclasses it most cases (e.g PCA). So it is not very helpful as a superclass. And we don't need to wrap a converter with it now
