We make use of an online classifier, i.e., one that supports the partial_fit method, that will be fed with batches of examples. To guarantee that the features space remains the same over time we leverage a HashingVectorizer that will project each example into the same feature space. This is especially useful in the case of text classification where new features (words) may appear in each batch. The dataset used in this example is Reuters-21578 as provided by the UCI ML repository. It will be automatically downloaded and uncompressed on first run. The plot represents the learning curve of the classifier: the evolution of classification accuracy over the course of the mini-batches. Accuracy is measured on the first 1000 samples, held out as a validation set. To limit the memory consumption, we queue examples up to a fixed amount before feeding them to the learner. .. code-block:: python # Authors: Eustache Diemert # @FedericoV # License: BSD 3 clause from glob import glob import itertools import os.path import re import tarfile import time import sys import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib import rcParams from html.parser import HTMLParser from urllib.request import urlretrieve from sklearn.datasets import get_data_home from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import HashingVectorizer from sklearn.linear_model import SGDClassifier from sklearn.linear_model import PassiveAggressiveClassifier from sklearn.linear_model import Perceptron from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB def _not_in_sphinx(): # Hack to detect whether we are running by the sphinx builder return '__file__' in globals() Reuters Dataset related routines -------------------------------- .. code-block:: python class ReutersParser(HTMLParser): """Utility class to parse a SGML file and yield documents one at a time.""" def __init__(self, encoding='latin-1'): HTMLParser.__init__(self) self._reset() self.encoding = encoding def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs): method = 'start_' + tag getattr(self, method, lambda x: None)(attrs) def handle_endtag(self, tag): method = 'end_' + tag getattr(self, method, lambda: None)() def _reset(self): self.in_title = 0 self.in_body = 0 self.in_topics = 0 self.in_topic_d = 0 self.title = "" self.body = "" self.topics = [] self.topic_d = "" def parse(self, fd): self.docs = [] for chunk in fd: self.feed(chunk.decode(self.encoding)) for doc in self.docs: yield doc self.docs = [] self.close() def handle_data(self, data): if self.in_body: self.body += data elif self.in_title: self.title += data elif self.in_topic_d: self.topic_d += data def start_reuters(self, attributes): pass def end_reuters(self): self.body = re.sub(r'\s+', r' ', self.body) self.docs.append({'title': self.title, 'body': self.body, 'topics': self.topics}) self._reset() def start_title(self, attributes): self.in_title = 1 def end_title(self): self.in_title = 0 def start_body(self, attributes): self.in_body = 1 def end_body(self): self.in_body = 0 def start_topics(self, attributes): self.in_topics = 1 def end_topics(self): self.in_topics = 0 def start_d(self, attributes): self.in_topic_d = 1 def end_d(self): self.in_topic_d = 0 self.topics.append(self.topic_d) self.topic_d = "" def stream_reuters_documents(data_path=None): """Iterate over documents of the Reuters dataset.
