What is machine learning?#

Machine learning is a toolbox for modeling, investigating, and understanding data.

Key terms#

Artificial intelligence: “A program that can sense, reason, act, and adapt.”
Machine learning: “Algorithims whose performance improve as they are exposed to more data over time.”
Neural network: A type of algorithm modeled after the human brain, consisting of multiple layers of nodes/neurons.
Deep learning: “Subset of machine learning in which multilayered neural networks learn from vast amounts of data.”

x and y variables#

x variables are the independent variables. You will also see these referred to in a variety of contexts as features, covariates, predictors, input, or explanatory variables.
The y variable is the dependent variable. This is also referred to as the response, outcome, and target variable.

Types of machine learning:#

Supervised machine learning: algorithms train models that (best) learn the relationships between the x and y variables on a labeled dataset (called the training set, where the ground truth y variable is known). The performance of the trained model is then evaluated after it predicts the outcome on new data that the model has never seen before (called the test set) where where ground truth y label is unknown.

The equation looks like: \(y=f(x)+ϵ\)

\(f\) is the unknown function that relates x to y and is estimated
\(ϵ\) is random error independent of x and averages to zero

Supervised machine learning TL;DR - we use the x variables to predict the y variable.

Unsupervised machine learning: algorithms are used to sort unlabeled datasets, without attempting to predict anything.
- The equation could simply look like: \(\sim\ x\)
- Algorithms include:
  - Clustering: hierarchical agglomerative, k-means, centroid, density-based, DBSCAN, GLRM
  - Dimension reduction: PCA, t-SNE, UMAP
Reinforcement: algorithims are used to make real-time decisions and skill acquisition in fields such as game-theory and robotics.
Deep Learning:
Targeted Learning:
Other: semi-supervised, etc.

Data splitting: Training and test performance#

Preparation for supervised methods requires a split of the dataset into training and test sets.

Training set: is comprised of the data that will be used by the model to learn the relationships between the x and y variables. This “usually” consists of a majority portion of the rows in the dataset, such as 70%.
Test set: consists of the holdout data that the trained model has not yet seen and where the trained model will try predict the unknown labels. This “usually” consists of the remaining 30% of rows.

NOTE: These values are somewhat arbitrary. It could be argued that the more training data that are available, the “better” your model might be. Conversely, more test data could lead to higher performance on the test data.

Furthermore, if you have millions of rows of data, a splits of 50:50 or 99:1 might also work fine depending on the context.

Performance is generally assessed through cost or loss functions such as misclassification error, sensitivity/specificity, precision/recall, (root) mean squared error, R-squared, AIC, BIC, and other confusion matrix derivations.
Cross-validation is the best way to split your data, because it repeats the train/test data splitting process \(k\) number of times and rotates the test set each time so that every observation is included in a test set at least once. Performance results are then averaged to compute predictive performance.

Model evaluation#

How do we know if a model performs well?

Underfit: A model is underfit if it performs poorly on the training data because it could not discern the relationship(s) between the x and y variables.
Overfit: A model is overfit if it performs well on the training dataset but poorly on the test set.
Bias/variance tradeoff:
- Bias refers to the systematic error due to incorrect assumptions about the machine learning process or the framing of the problem itself. High bias models generally underfit and/or contain large amounts of error.
- Variance refers to changes in the model predictive accuracy due to fluctuations in the training set or when using different training datasets, and how much the model can adjust to each. High variance could be due to model complexity, noise in the dataset, and overfitting.
- The tradeoff means that models with high bias will have low variance, and vice-versa. The goal is to find the optimal combination of these two factors for your problem.

Classification versus regression#

Supervised classification: models probability that y is 1 given the covariates x and is performed when y is categorical (either binary yes/no or multinomial): \(Pr(y=1|x)\)
- Medical diagnosis
- Image classification
- Fraud detection
- Sentiment analysis

Supervised regression: models the conditional mean probability \(E(y|x)\) and is performed when y is continuous (i.e., integer or float).
- Life expectancy
- Population growth
- Weather forecasting
- Stock market prediction

Supervised algorithms include:
- Regressions: ordinary least squares, generalized linear model, lasso
- Tree-based methods: decision tree, random forest, boosted trees
- Kernel-based methods: various; transform non-linear to linear space

Bias in research#

Computationally focused, data-centric research is frought with biases. The below figure illustrates several in the process.

Ethical considerations#

Begin to familiarize yourself with the many ethnical points to consider along with their real-world implications:

OLS example - by “hand”#

Ordinary least squares regression provides a great example of the machine learning process and some of the key terms defined above.

Generate toy data#

import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1,2,3,4,5],
                     "y": [2,4,6,8,20]})
data

	x	y
0	1	2
1	2	4
2	3	6
3	4	8
4	5	20

Calculate means of x and y#

x_mean = round(sum(data.x) / len(data.x), 2)
y_mean = round(sum(data.y) / len(data.y), 2)
print("mean of x:", x_mean)
print("mean of y:", y_mean)

mean of x: 3.0
mean of y: 8.0

Visualize the data (training data)#

Plot the known relationships between x and y.

plt.scatter(data.x, data.y);

../_images/6_Core_concepts_vocabularies_25_0.png

Calculate error for each observation#

Error (least squares method) is the difference between each observation and the mean. Below this will be represented visually by the distance between each point and the line of best fit.

x_error = data.x - x_mean
y_error = data.y - y_mean

# x
print(data.x)
print(x_mean)
print(x_error)

  1
  2
  3
  4
  5
Name: x, dtype: int64
0
 -2.0
 -1.0
  0.0
  1.0
  2.0
Name: x, dtype: float64

# y
print(data.y)
print(y_mean)
print(y_error)

Name: y, dtype: int64
0
  -6.0
  -4.0
  -2.0
   0.0
  12.0
Name: y, dtype: float64

Compute beta coefficients#

Beta coefficients are used to measure the amount of change in the y variable for a one-unit change in an x variable.

## Estimate the B1 coefficient (slope)
B1 = sum((data.x - x_mean) * (data.y - y_mean)) / sum((data.x - x_mean) **2)
print("slope (B1) is: ", B1)

## Estimate B0 coefficient (intercept)
B0 = y_mean - (B1 * x_mean)
print("intercept (B0) is: ", B0)

slope (B1) is:  4.0
intercept (B0) is:  -4.0

Plot best fit line#

The best fit line is used to illustrate the minimum distance from the actual versus the predicted values.

import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np
sns.regplot(data = data, 
            x = "x", y = "y",
           ci = None)
plt.xticks(np.arange(min(data.x), max(data.x)+1, 1.0))
plt.yticks(np.arange(min(data.y), max(data.y)+1, 2.0));

../_images/6_Core_concepts_vocabularies_33_0.png

Generate the predictions (test set)#

y_hat = B0 + B1 * data.x
print("Ground truth y values:")
print(data.y)
print()
print("Predicted y values:")
print(y_hat)

Ground truth y values:
   2
   4
   6
   8
  20
Name: y, dtype: int64

Predicted y values:
   0.0
   4.0
   8.0
  12.0
  16.0
Name: x, dtype: float64

Visualize the error for each observation#

ls_err

Evaluate the performance using RMSE#

Root mean squared error is a handy performance metric because it has the same units of whatever is plotted on the y-axis.

In our toy example here, we are off an average of 2.82843 units on the y-axis of a given data point from the line of best fit.

See the code below for how it is manually calculated.

# 1. Square each error
y_error_sq = y_error ** 2
print(y_error_sq)

   36.0
   16.0
    4.0
    0.0
  144.0
Name: y, dtype: float64

# 2. Sum these values
sum_error_sq = sum(y_error_sq)
print(sum_error_sq)

200.0

# 3. Calculate RMSE - the square root of summed squared error divided by the length of y
RMSE = math.sqrt(sum_error_sq) / len(data.y)
print(round(RMSE, 5))

Supervised machine learning - logistic regression#

Fortunately, you do not have to do any of this by hand thanks to scikit-learn!

Here is a short workflow to fit a logistic regression model. Logistic regression is similar to linear regression \(y \sim\ x\) but can regress for the probability of a categorical outcome.

Let’s calculate training and test set accuracy to predict whether a penguin is MALE or FEMALE based on thier biological and spatial characteristics.

# load data
# !wget -P data/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EastBayEv/SSDS-TAML/main/fall2022/data/penguins.csv
penguins = pd.read_csv("data/penguins.csv")

penguins.head()

	species	island	bill_length_mm	bill_depth_mm	flipper_length_mm	body_mass_g	sex
0	Adelie	Torgersen	39.1	18.7	181.0	3750.0	MALE
1	Adelie	Torgersen	39.5	17.4	186.0	3800.0	FEMALE
2	Adelie	Torgersen	40.3	18.0	195.0	3250.0	FEMALE
3	Adelie	Torgersen	NaN	NaN	NaN	NaN	NaN
4	Adelie	Torgersen	36.7	19.3	193.0	3450.0	FEMALE

Balanced versus imbalanced samples#

Keep in mind that classification accuracy is a poor performance measure for imbalanced classes. Refer to the confusion matrix derivations for other metrics that are more appropriate to use for imbalanced samples. Rarely is accuracy the preferred method. Our use of it here can help you understand the other metrics.

# You could say our penguins sample is balanced
penguins.value_counts('sex')

sex
MALE      168
FEMALE    165
dtype: int64

Preprocess the data - remove rows with NaN (missing) values#

# count number of rows with missing data in penguins. Eleven...
penguins.isnull().any(axis=1).sum()

# make a copy with listwise deleted rows
p_complete = penguins.dropna()

# count number of rows with missing data in p_complete. Zero! 
p_complete.isnull().any(axis=1).sum()

Preprocess the data - convert categorical variables to indicators#

Check out this great tutorial on one-hot encoding to learn more.

# convert island categorical variable into numeric indicators
p_dummy_island = pd.get_dummies(p_complete.island, prefix = "island")
p_dummy_island.head()

	island_Biscoe	island_Dream	island_Torgersen
0	0	0	1
1	0	0	1
2	0	0	1
4	0	0	1
5	0	0	1

# convert species categorical variable into numeric indicators
p_dummy_species = pd.get_dummies(p_complete.species, prefix = "species")
p_dummy_species.head()

	species_Adelie	species_Chinstrap	species_Gentoo
0	1	0	0
1	1	0	0
2	1	0	0
4	1	0	0
5	1	0	0

Preprocess the data - remove the island and species variables from p_complete#

# view column names
print(p_complete.columns)

# drop the first and second columns
p_complete = p_complete.drop(p_complete.columns[[0, 1]], axis=1)
p_complete.head()

Index(['species', 'island', 'bill_length_mm', 'bill_depth_mm',
       'flipper_length_mm', 'body_mass_g', 'sex'],
      dtype='object')

	bill_length_mm	bill_depth_mm	flipper_length_mm	body_mass_g	sex
0	39.1	18.7	181.0	3750.0	MALE
1	39.5	17.4	186.0	3800.0	FEMALE
2	40.3	18.0	195.0	3250.0	FEMALE
4	36.7	19.3	193.0	3450.0	FEMALE
5	39.3	20.6	190.0	3650.0	MALE

Recombine the numeric indicators with the other variables#

clean_penguins = pd.concat([p_dummy_island, p_dummy_species, p_complete], axis=1) 
clean_penguins.head()

	island_Torgersen	species_Adelie	bill_length_mm	bill_depth_mm	flipper_length_mm	body_mass_g	sex
0	1	1	39.1	18.7	181.0	3750.0	MALE
1	1	1	39.5	17.4	186.0	3800.0	FEMALE
2	1	1	40.3	18.0	195.0	3250.0	FEMALE
4	1	1	36.7	19.3	193.0	3450.0	FEMALE
5	1	1	39.3	20.6	190.0	3650.0	MALE

Recode MALE as 1 and FEMALE as 0#

clean_penguins['sex'] = clean_penguins['sex'].map({'MALE': 1, 'FEMALE': 0})

clean_penguins.head()

	island_Torgersen	species_Adelie	bill_length_mm	bill_depth_mm	flipper_length_mm	body_mass_g	sex

Building text vocabularies#

What about how text is predicted? If we have text as data, we also need to convert the representation of text into a format that machine learning algorithms can understand.

Define a corpus#

corpus = [
    "First document text goes in this list of strings.",
    "Second document text goes here as well.",
    "Third document text text.",
    "Document four!"
    ]
corpus

['First document text goes in this list of strings.',
 'Second document text goes here as well.',
 'Third document text text.',
 'Document four!']

Document encoding for machine learning#

Key terms#

Document term matrix: contains the frequencies (or TF-IDF scores) of vocabulary terms in a collection of documents in sparse format.
- Each row is a document in the corpus.
- Each column represents a term (uni-gram, bi-gram, etc.) called a feature.

dtm modified from “The Effects of Feature Scaling: From Bag-of-Words to Tf-Idf”

Bag of words: The simplest text analysis model that standardizes text in a document by removing punctuation, converting the words to lowercase, and counting the token frequencies.
- Numeric values indicate that a particular feature is found in a document that number of times.
- A 0 indicates that the feature is not found in that document.
TF-IDF: Term frequency–inverse document frequency; a weighted numerical statistic that indicates the uniqueness of a word is in a given document or corpus (see Chapter 7).
- For TF-IDF sparse matrices:
  - A value closer to 1 indicate that a feature is more relevant to a particular document.
  - A value closer to 0 indicates that that feature is less/not relevant to that document.

Bag of words model with `CountVectorizer`#

The bag of words model represents text ignoring syntactical elements like grammar and word order while only preserving the multiplicy/frequency of unique tokens. Typically, a bag of words model removes punctuation and casefolds the text to lowercase before counting the words (i.e. ‘Apple’ and ‘apple’ will both count toward instances of the word, ‘apple’).

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer

# create the bag of words
vectorizer = CountVectorizer()

# the .fit method will learn the vocabulary 
vectorizer.fit(corpus)

# Print the vocabulary

N-grams#

While we have focused on single words above, we can apply this approach to multi-word phrases in order to try to predict linguistic instances and potentially better understand context of a corpus of documents.

Use the below token patterns:

bigrams ngram_range = (1, 2)
trigrams ngram_range = (1, 3)
etc.

 # token pattern is written using regular expressions (regex for short): 
 #      '\b' signifies the empty string ("") at the beginning or end of a word, 
 #      '\w' is any character, 
 #      '+' signifies that the regex can match one or more instances of the prior character (in this case, '\w')
 # question: what does '\b\w+\b' mean then? 
bigram_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(ngram_range = (1,2),
                                    token_pattern = r'\b\w+\b',
                                    min_df = 1)
bigram_vectorizer

CountVectorizer(ngram_range=(1, 2), token_pattern='\\b\\w+\\b')

Since we specify bigrams, both unigrams and bigrams are returned!

bigram_analyzer = bigram_vectorizer.build_analyzer()
bigram_analyzer('Welcome to Stanford Libraries!')

['welcome',
 'to',
 'stanford',
 'libraries',
