Algorithm::LibLinear - A Perl binding for LIBLINEAR, a library for classification/regression using linear SVM and logistic regression.
SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::LibLinear;
# Constructs a model for L2-regularized L2 loss support vector classification.
my $learner = Algorithm::LibLinear->new(
cost => 1,
epsilon => 0.01,
solver => 'L2R_L2LOSS_SVC_DUAL',
weights => [
+{ label => 1, weight => 1, },
+{ label => -1, weight => 1, },
],
);
# Loads a training data set from DATA filehandle.
my $data_set = Algorithm::LibLinear::DataSet->load(fh => \*DATA);
# Updates training parameter.
$learner->find_cost_parameter(data_set => $data_set, max => 1000, num_folds => 5, update => 1);
# Executes cross validation.
my $accuracy = $learner->cross_validation(data_set => $data_set, num_folds => 5);
# Executes training.
my $classifier = $learner->train(data_set => $data_set);
# Determines which (+1 or -1) is the class for the given feature to belong.
my $class_label = $classifier->predict(feature => +{ 1 => 0.38, 2 => -0.5, ... });

...DESCRIPTION
Algorithm::LibLinear is an XS module that provides features of LIBLINEAR, a fast C library for classification and regression.
Current version is based on LIBLINEAR 2.01, released on Jul 8, 2015.
METHODS
new([bias => -1.0] [, cost => 1] [, epsilon => 0.1] [, loss_sensitivity => 0.1] [, solver => 'L2R_L2LOSS_SVC_DUAL'] [, weights => []])
Constructor. You can set several named parameters:
- bias
-
Bias term to be added to prediction result (i.e.,
-Boption for LIBLINEAR'straincommand.).This parameter makes sense only when its value is positive.
- cost
-
Penalty cost for misclassification (
-c.) - epsilon
-
Termination criterion (
-e.)Default value of this parameter depends on the value of
solver. - loss_sensitivity
-
Epsilon in loss function of SVR (
-p.) - solver
-
Kind of solver (
-s.)For classification:
- 'L2R_LR' - L2-regularized logistic regression
- 'L2R_L2LOSS_SVC_DUAL' - L2-regularized L2-loss SVC (dual problem)
- 'L2R_L2LOSS_SVC' - L2-regularized L2-loss SVC (primal problem)
- 'L2R_L1LOSS_SVC_DUAL' - L2-regularized L1-loss SVC (dual problem)
- 'MCSVM_CS' - Crammer-Singer multiclass SVM
- 'L1R_L2LOSS_SVC' - L1-regularized L2-loss SVC
- 'L1R_LR' - L1-regularized logistic regression (primal problem)
- 'L1R_LR_DUAL' - L1-regularized logistic regression (dual problem)
For regression:
- weights
-
Weights adjust the cost parameter of different classes (
-wi.)For example,
my $learner = Algorithm::LibLinear->new( weights => [ +{ label => 1, weight => 0.5 }, +{ label => 2, weight => 1 }, +{ label => 3, weight => 0.5 }, ], );is giving a doubling weight for class 2. This means that samples belonging to class 2 have stronger effect than other samples belonging class 1 or 3 on learning.
This option is useful when the number of training samples of each class is not balanced.
cross_validation(data_set => $data_set, num_folds => $num_folds)
Evaluates training parameter using N-fold cross validation method. Given data set will be split into N parts. N-1 of them will be used as a training set and the rest 1 part will be used as a test set. The evaluation iterates N times using each different part as a test set. Then average accuracy is returned as result.
find_cost_parameter(data_set => $data_set, max => $max_cost, num_folst => $num_folds [, initial => -1.0] [, update => 0])
Find the best cost parameter in terms of cross validation result, between initial and max. If initial parameter is omitted an appropriate value is automatically estimated. When true value is specified as update parameter, the instance is updated to use the found cost. This behaviour is disabled by default.
Return value is an ArrayRef containing 2 values: the found cost and its cross validation score (i.e., accuracy.)
train(data_set => $data_set)
Executes training and returns a trained Algorithm::LibLinear::Model instance. data_set is same as the cross_validation's.
