Description

select_feature_set_trainf_mlpselect_feature_set_trainf_mlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlp selects an optimal combination of features, to classify the OCR data given in the training file TrainingFileTrainingFileTrainingFileTrainingFiletrainingFile with a multilayer perceptron, for details see create_ocr_class_mlpcreate_ocr_class_mlpCreateOcrClassMlpCreateOcrClassMlpCreateOcrClassMlp.

Possible features are all OCR features listed and explained in create_ocr_class_mlpcreate_ocr_class_mlpCreateOcrClassMlpCreateOcrClassMlpCreateOcrClassMlp. All candidates which should be tested can be specified in FeatureListFeatureListFeatureListFeatureListfeatureList. A subset of these features is returned as selected features in FeatureSetFeatureSetFeatureSetFeatureSetfeatureSet.

select_feature_set_trainf_mlpselect_feature_set_trainf_mlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlp is specialized on OCR problems and only supports the features in the list mentioned before. In order to use other features, please use the more general operator select_feature_set_mlpselect_feature_set_mlpSelectFeatureSetMlpSelectFeatureSetMlpSelectFeatureSetMlp.

The selection method SelectionMethodSelectionMethodSelectionMethodSelectionMethodselectionMethod is either a greedy search 'greedy'"greedy""greedy""greedy""greedy" (iteratively add the feature with highest gain) or the dynamically oscillating search 'greedy_oscillating'"greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating" (add the feature with highest gain and test then if any of the already added features can be left out without great loss). The method 'greedy'"greedy""greedy""greedy""greedy" is generally preferable, since it is faster. Only in cases when a large training set is available the method 'greedy_oscillating'"greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating""greedy_oscillating" might return better results.

The optimization criterion is the classification rate of a two-fold cross-validation of the training data. The best achieved value is returned in ScoreScoreScoreScorescore.

The parameters GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamName and GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValue allow to adapt the setting of the number of hidden neurons in the MLP with 'num_hidden'"num_hidden""num_hidden""num_hidden""num_hidden". The default value is 80, a higher value leads to longer training times but might lead to a more expressive classifier.

Attention

This operator may take considerable time, depending on the size of the data set in the training file, and the number of features.

Please note, that this operator should not be called, if only a small set of training data is available. Due to the risk of overfitting the operator select_feature_set_trainf_mlpselect_feature_set_trainf_mlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlpSelectFeatureSetTrainfMlp may deliver a classifier with a very high score. However, the classifier may perfom poorly when tested.

Execution Information

This operator returns a handle. Note that the state of an instance of this handle type may be changed by specific operators even though the handle is used as an input parameter by those operators.
