Description
select_feature_set_trainf_knnselect_feature_set_trainf_knnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnn selects an optimal combination of
features, to classify the data given in the training file
TrainingFileTrainingFileTrainingFileTrainingFiletrainingFile with a k-Nearest Neighbor classifier,
for details see create_ocr_class_knncreate_ocr_class_knnCreateOcrClassKnnCreateOcrClassKnnCreateOcrClassKnn.
Possible features are all OCR features listed and explained in
create_ocr_class_knncreate_ocr_class_knnCreateOcrClassKnnCreateOcrClassKnnCreateOcrClassKnn. 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_knnselect_feature_set_trainf_knnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnn 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_knnselect_feature_set_knnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnn.
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 k-NN classifier can be parametrized using the following values in
GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamName and GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValue:
- 'num_neighbors'"num_neighbors""num_neighbors""num_neighbors""num_neighbors":
-
The number of minimally evaluated
nodes, increase this value for high dimensional data.
Possible values: '1'"1""1""1""1", '2'"2""2""2""2", '5'"5""5""5""5",
'10'"10""10""10""10"
Default value: '1'"1""1""1""1"
- 'num_trees'"num_trees""num_trees""num_trees""num_trees":
-
Number of search trees in the k-NN
classifier
Possible values: '1'"1""1""1""1", '4'"4""4""4""4", '10'"10""10""10""10"
Default Value: '4'"4""4""4""4"
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_knnselect_feature_set_trainf_knnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnnSelectFeatureSetTrainfKnn may deliver a classifier with
a very high score. However, the classifier may perfom poorly when tested.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on internal data level.
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.
