Description

set_feature_lengths_class_train_dataset_feature_lengths_class_train_dataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataset_feature_lengths_class_train_data defines subfeatures in the training data in ClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleclassTrainDataHandleclass_train_data_handle. The subfeatures are defined in SubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthsubFeatureLengthsub_feature_length by a set of lengths that groups the previously added columns subsequently into subfeatures. It is not possible to group columns which are not subsequent. The sum over all entries in SubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthsubFeatureLengthsub_feature_length must be equal to the number of dimensions set in create_class_train_datacreate_class_train_dataCreateClassTrainDataCreateClassTrainDataCreateClassTrainDatacreate_class_train_data with the parameter NumDimNumDimNumDimNumDimnumDimnum_dim. Optionally, names for all subsets can be defined in NamesNamesNamesNamesnamesnames.

An exemplary situation in which this operator is helpful is described here: Two different data sources are available. Both data sources provide a vector of a certain length. The first data source provides data of length n and the second of length m. In order to automatically decide which of the data sources is more valuable for a certain classification problem, training data can be created that contains both data sources. E.g., if create_class_train_datacreate_class_train_dataCreateClassTrainDataCreateClassTrainDataCreateClassTrainDatacreate_class_train_data was called with NumDimNumDimNumDimNumDimnumDimnum_dim =n+m=w, then set_feature_lengths_class_train_dataset_feature_lengths_class_train_dataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataset_feature_lengths_class_train_data can be called with [n,m] in SubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthsubFeatureLengthsub_feature_length and [Name1, Name2] in NamesNamesNamesNamesnamesnames to describe this situation for a later usage of operators like select_feature_set_knnselect_feature_set_knnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnnselect_feature_set_knn or select_feature_set_svmselect_feature_set_svmSelectFeatureSetSvmSelectFeatureSetSvmSelectFeatureSetSvmselect_feature_set_svm. Then the classification problem has to be specified via calls of add_sample_class_train_dataadd_sample_class_train_dataAddSampleClassTrainDataAddSampleClassTrainDataAddSampleClassTrainDataadd_sample_class_train_data, by giving a vector of the first data source and a vector of the second data source as the combined feature vector of length w. The result of the call of select_feature_set_knnselect_feature_set_knnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnnSelectFeatureSetKnnselect_feature_set_knn would then be either [Name1] if the first is more relevant, [Name2] if the second is more relevant or [Name1, Name2] if both are necessary.

Execution Information

Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Processed without parallelization.

This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:

ClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleclassTrainDataHandleclass_train_data_handle

During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.

Parameters

ClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleClassTrainDataHandleclassTrainDataHandleclass_train_data_handle (input_control, state is modified) class_train_data → (handle)

Handle of the training data that should be partitioned into subfeatures.

SubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthSubFeatureLengthsubFeatureLengthsub_feature_length (input_control) number-array → (integer)

Length of the subfeatures.

NamesNamesNamesNamesnamesnames (input_control) string-array → (string)

Names of the subfeatures.

Example (HDevelop)

* Find out which of the two features distinguishes two Classes
NameFeature1 := 'Good Feature'
NameFeature2 := 'Bad Feature'
LengthFeature1 := 3
LengthFeature2 := 2
* Create training data
create_class_train_data (LengthFeature1+LengthFeature2,\
  ClassTrainDataHandle)
* Define the features which are in the training data
set_feature_lengths_class_train_data (ClassTrainDataHandle, [LengthFeature1,\
  LengthFeature2], [NameFeature1, NameFeature2])
* Add training data
*                                                          |Feat1| |Feat2|
add_sample_class_train_data (ClassTrainDataHandle, 'row', [1,1,1,  2,1  ], 0)
add_sample_class_train_data (ClassTrainDataHandle, 'row', [2,2,2,  2,1  ], 1)
add_sample_class_train_data (ClassTrainDataHandle, 'row', [1,1,1,  3,4  ], 0)
add_sample_class_train_data (ClassTrainDataHandle, 'row', [2,2,2,  3,4  ], 1)
* Add more data 
* ...
* Select the better feature
select_feature_set_knn (ClassTrainDataHandle, 'greedy', [], [], KNNHandle,\
  SelectedFeature, Score)
classify_class_knn (KNNHandle, [1,1,1], Result, Rating)
classify_class_knn (KNNHandle, [2,2,2], Result, Rating)
* Use the classifier
* ...

Result

If the parameters are valid, the operator set_feature_lengths_class_train_dataset_feature_lengths_class_train_dataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataSetFeatureLengthsClassTrainDataset_feature_lengths_class_train_data returns the value TRUE. If necessary, an exception is raised.
