Label Models

Package Test Status

Lightweight implementations of generative label models for weakly supervised machine learning

Example Usage - Naive Bayes Model

# Let votes be an m x n matrix where m is the number of data examples, n is the
# number of label sources, and each element is in the set {0, 1, ..., k}, where
# k is the number of classes. If votes_{ij} is 0, it means that label source j
# abstains from voting on example i.

# As an example, we create a random votes matrix for binary classification with
# 1000 examples and 5 label sources
import numpy as np
votes = np.random.randint(0, 3, size=(1000, 5))

# We now can create a Naive Bayes generative model to estimate the accuracies
# of these label sources
from labelmodels import NaiveBayes

# We initialize the model by specifying that there are 2 classes (binary
# classification) and 5 label sources
model = NaiveBayes(num_classes=2, num_lfs=5)

# Next, we estimate the model's parameters
model.estimate_label_model(votes)
print(model.get_accuracies())

# We can obtain a posterior distribution over the true labels
labels = model.get_label_distribution(votes)

Example Usage - Partial Label Model

# Let votes be an m x n matrix where m is the number of data examples, n is the
# number of label sources, and each element is in the set {0, 1, ..., k_l}, where
# k_l is the number of label partitions for partial labeling functions PLF_{l}. If votes_{ij} is 0, 
# it means that partial label source j abstains from voting on example i.

# As an example, we create a random votes matrix for classification with
# 1000 examples and 3 label sources
import numpy as np
import torch

# label_partition is a table that specifies 0-indexed PLF's label partition configurations, for this brief example,
# we have 3 PLFs each separating the 3-class label space into two partitions. For 0-th PLF, it partitions the label space
# into \{1\} and \{2,3\}. Notice the class label is 1-indexed.
# The label_partition configures the label partitions mapping in format as {PLF's index: [partition_1, partition_2, ..., partition_{k_l}]}
simple_label_partition = {
        0: [[1], [2, 3]],
        1: [[2], [1, 3]],
        2: [[3], [1, 2]]
}
num_sources = len(simple_label_partition)
num_classes = 3
votes = np.random.randint(0, 1, size=(1000, 3))

device = 'cuda:0' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'

# We now can create a Naive Bayes generative model to estimate the accuracies
# of these label sources
from labelmodels import PartialLabelModel
# We initialize the model by specifying that there are 2 classes (binary
# classification) and 5 label sources
model = PartialLabelModel(num_classes=num_classes,
                           label_partition=simple_label_partition,
                           preset_classbalance=None,
                           device=device)
# Next, we estimate the model's parameters
model.estimate_label_model(votes)
print(model.get_accuracies())

# We can obtain a posterior distribution over the true labels
labels = model.get_label_distribution(votes)
