class pyspark.ml.Pipeline(stages=None)

A simple pipeline, which acts as an estimator. A Pipeline consists of a sequence of stages, each of which is either an Estimator or a Transformer. When Pipeline.fit() is called, the stages are executed in order. If a stage is an Estimator, its Estimator.fit() method will be called on the input dataset to fit a model. Then the model, which is a transformer, will be used to transform the dataset as the input to the next stage. If a stage is a Transformer, its Transformer.transform() method will be called to produce the dataset for the next stage. The fitted model from a Pipeline is a PipelineModel, which consists of fitted models and transformers, corresponding to the pipeline stages. If stages is an empty list, the pipeline acts as an identity transformer.

class pyspark.ml.feature.HashingTF(numFeatures=262144, binary=False, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

Maps a sequence of terms to their term frequencies using the hashing trick. Currently we use Austin Appleby’s MurmurHash 3 algorithm (MurmurHash3_x86_32) to calculate the hash code value for the term object. Since a simple modulo is used to transform the hash function to a column index, it is advisable to use a power of two as the numFeatures parameter; otherwise the features will not be mapped evenly to the columns.

class pyspark.ml.feature.MinMaxScaler(min=0.0, max=1.0, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

Rescale each feature individually to a common range [min, max] linearly using column summary statistics, which is also known as min-max normalization or Rescaling. The rescaled value for feature E is calculated as,

Rescaled(e_i) = (e_i - E_min) / (E_max - E_min) * (max - min) + min

For the case E_max == E_min, Rescaled(e_i) = 0.5 * (max + min)

Note

Since zero values will probably be transformed to non-zero values, output of the transformer will be DenseVector even for sparse input.

class pyspark.ml.feature.OneHotEncoder(dropLast=True, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

A one-hot encoder that maps a column of category indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value per row that indicates the input category index. For example with 5 categories, an input value of 2.0 would map to an output vector of [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0]. The last category is not included by default (configurable via dropLast) because it makes the vector entries sum up to one, and hence linearly dependent. So an input value of 4.0 maps to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0].

Note

This is different from scikit-learn’s OneHotEncoder, which keeps all categories. The output vectors are sparse.

class pyspark.ml.feature.QuantileDiscretizer(numBuckets=2, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, relativeError=0.001, handleInvalid='error')

Note

Experimental

QuantileDiscretizer takes a column with continuous features and outputs a column with binned categorical features. The number of bins can be set using the numBuckets parameter.

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorIndexer(maxCategories=20, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

Class for indexing categorical feature columns in a dataset of Vector.

This has 2 usage modes:

• Automatically identify categorical features (default behavior)

  • This helps process a dataset of unknown vectors into a dataset with some continuous features and some categorical features. The choice between continuous and categorical is based upon a maxCategories parameter.
  • Set maxCategories to the maximum number of categorical any categorical feature should have.
  • E.g.: Feature 0 has unique values {-1.0, 0.0}, and feature 1 values {1.0, 3.0, 5.0}. If maxCategories = 2, then feature 0 will be declared categorical and use indices {0, 1}, and feature 1 will be declared continuous.

• Index all features, if all features are categorical

  • If maxCategories is set to be very large, then this will build an index of unique values for all features.
  • Warning: This can cause problems if features are continuous since this will collect ALL unique values to the driver.
  • E.g.: Feature 0 has unique values {-1.0, 0.0}, and feature 1 values {1.0, 3.0, 5.0}. If maxCategories >= 3, then both features will be declared categorical.

This returns a model which can transform categorical features to use 0-based indices.

Index stability:

• This is not guaranteed to choose the same category index across multiple runs.
• If a categorical feature includes value 0, then this is guaranteed to map value 0 to index 0. This maintains vector sparsity.
• More stability may be added in the future.

TODO: Future extensions: The following functionality is planned for the future:

• Preserve metadata in transform; if a feature’s metadata is already present, do not recompute.
• Specify certain features to not index, either via a parameter or via existing metadata.
• Add warning if a categorical feature has only 1 category.
• Add option for allowing unknown categories.

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorIndexerModel(java_model=None)

Model fitted by VectorIndexer.

Transform categorical features to use 0-based indices instead of their original values.

• Categorical features are mapped to indices.
• Continuous features (columns) are left unchanged.

This also appends metadata to the output column, marking features as Numeric (continuous), Nominal (categorical), or Binary (either continuous or categorical). Non-ML metadata is not carried over from the input to the output column.

This maintains vector sparsity.

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorSlicer(inputCol=None, outputCol=None, indices=None, names=None)

This class takes a feature vector and outputs a new feature vector with a subarray of the original features.

The subset of features can be specified with either indices (setIndices()) or names (setNames()). At least one feature must be selected. Duplicate features are not allowed, so there can be no overlap between selected indices and names.

The output vector will order features with the selected indices first (in the order given), followed by the selected names (in the order given).

>>> from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([
...     (Vectors.dense([-2.0, 2.3, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]),),
...     (Vectors.dense([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]),),
...     (Vectors.dense([0.6, -1.1, -3.0, 4.5, 3.3]),)], ["features"])
>>> vs = VectorSlicer(inputCol="features", outputCol="sliced", indices=[1, 4])

featureImportances

Estimate of the importance of each feature.

This generalizes the idea of “Gini” importance to other losses, following the explanation of Gini importance from “Random Forests” documentation by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler, and following the implementation from scikit-learn.

This feature importance is calculated as follows:

• importance(feature j) = sum (over nodes which split on feature j) of the gain, where gain is scaled by the number of instances passing through node
• Normalize importances for tree to sum to 1.

Note

Feature importance for single decision trees can have high variance due to correlated predictor variables. Consider using a RandomForestClassifier to determine feature importance instead.

class pyspark.ml.classification.GBTClassifier(featuresCol='features', labelCol='label', predictionCol='prediction', maxDepth=5, maxBins=32, minInstancesPerNode=1, minInfoGain=0.0, maxMemoryInMB=256, cacheNodeIds=False, checkpointInterval=10, lossType='logistic', maxIter=20, stepSize=0.1, seed=None, subsamplingRate=1.0)

Gradient-Boosted Trees (GBTs) learning algorithm for classification. It supports binary labels, as well as both continuous and categorical features.

The implementation is based upon: J.H. Friedman. “Stochastic Gradient Boosting.” 1999.

Notes on Gradient Boosting vs. TreeBoost: - This implementation is for Stochastic Gradient Boosting, not for TreeBoost. - Both algorithms learn tree ensembles by minimizing loss functions. - TreeBoost (Friedman, 1999) additionally modifies the outputs at tree leaf nodes based on the loss function, whereas the original gradient boosting method does not. - We expect to implement TreeBoost in the future: SPARK-4240

Note

Multiclass labels are not currently supported.

pyspark.ml.clustering module

class pyspark.ml.clustering.BisectingKMeans(featuresCol='features', predictionCol='prediction', maxIter=20, seed=None, k=4, minDivisibleClusterSize=1.0)

A bisecting k-means algorithm based on the paper “A comparison of document clustering techniques” by Steinbach, Karypis, and Kumar, with modification to fit Spark. The algorithm starts from a single cluster that contains all points. Iteratively it finds divisible clusters on the bottom level and bisects each of them using k-means, until there are k leaf clusters in total or no leaf clusters are divisible. The bisecting steps of clusters on the same level are grouped together to increase parallelism. If bisecting all divisible clusters on the bottom level would result more than k leaf clusters, larger clusters get higher priority.

class pyspark.ml.clustering.GaussianMixture(featuresCol='features', predictionCol='prediction', k=2, probabilityCol='probability', tol=0.01, maxIter=100, seed=None)

GaussianMixture clustering. This class performs expectation maximization for multivariate Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). A GMM represents a composite distribution of independent Gaussian distributions with associated “mixing” weights specifying each’s contribution to the composite.

Given a set of sample points, this class will maximize the log-likelihood for a mixture of k Gaussians, iterating until the log-likelihood changes by less than convergenceTol, or until it has reached the max number of iterations. While this process is generally guaranteed to converge, it is not guaranteed to find a global optimum.

Note

For high-dimensional data (with many features), this algorithm may perform poorly. This is due to high-dimensional data (a) making it difficult to cluster at all (based on statistical/theoretical arguments) and (b) numerical issues with Gaussian distributions.

Input data (featuresCol): LDA is given a collection of documents as input data, via the featuresCol parameter. Each document is specified as a Vector of length vocabSize, where each entry is the count for the corresponding term (word) in the document. Feature transformers such as pyspark.ml.feature.Tokenizer and pyspark.ml.feature.CountVectorizer can be useful for converting text to word count vectors.

static norm(vector, p)

Find norm of the given vector.

static sparse(size, *args)

Create a sparse vector, using either a dictionary, a list of (index, value) pairs, or two separate arrays of indices and values (sorted by index).

Parameters:

• size – Size of the vector.
• args – Non-zero entries, as a dictionary, list of tuples, or two sorted lists containing indices and values.

pyspark.ml.recommendation module

class pyspark.ml.recommendation.ALS(rank=10, maxIter=10, regParam=0.1, numUserBlocks=10, numItemBlocks=10, implicitPrefs=False, alpha=1.0, userCol='user', itemCol='item', seed=None, ratingCol='rating', nonnegative=False, checkpointInterval=10, intermediateStorageLevel='MEMORY_AND_DISK', finalStorageLevel='MEMORY_AND_DISK')

Alternating Least Squares (ALS) matrix factorization.

ALS attempts to estimate the ratings matrix R as the product of two lower-rank matrices, X and Y, i.e. X * Yt = R. Typically these approximations are called ‘factor’ matrices. The general approach is iterative. During each iteration, one of the factor matrices is held constant, while the other is solved for using least squares. The newly-solved factor matrix is then held constant while solving for the other factor matrix.

This is a blocked implementation of the ALS factorization algorithm that groups the two sets of factors (referred to as “users” and “products”) into blocks and reduces communication by only sending one copy of each user vector to each product block on each iteration, and only for the product blocks that need that user’s feature vector. This is achieved by pre-computing some information about the ratings matrix to determine the “out-links” of each user (which blocks of products it will contribute to) and “in-link” information for each product (which of the feature vectors it receives from each user block it will depend on). This allows us to send only an array of feature vectors between each user block and product block, and have the product block find the users’ ratings and update the products based on these messages.

For implicit preference data, the algorithm used is based on “Collaborative Filtering for Implicit Feedback Datasets”,, adapted for the blocked approach used here.

Essentially instead of finding the low-rank approximations to the rating matrix R, this finds the approximations for a preference matrix P where the elements of P are 1 if r > 0 and 0 if r <= 0. The ratings then act as ‘confidence’ values related to strength of indicated user preferences rather than explicit ratings given to items.

...     [(0, 0, 4.0), (0, 1, 2.0), (1, 1, 3.0), (1, 2, 4.0), (2, 1, 1.0), (2, 2, 5.0)],

featureImportances

Estimate of the importance of each feature.

This generalizes the idea of “Gini” importance to other losses, following the explanation of Gini importance from “Random Forests” documentation by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler, and following the implementation from scikit-learn.

This feature importance is calculated as follows:

• importance(feature j) = sum (over nodes which split on feature j) of the gain, where gain is scaled by the number of instances passing through node
• Normalize importances for tree to sum to 1.

Note

Feature importance for single decision trees can have high variance due to correlated predictor variables. Consider using a RandomForestRegressor to determine feature importance instead.
