nimbusml is a Python module that provides Python bindings for ML.NET.
ML.NET was originally developed in Microsoft Research and is used across many product groups in Microsoft like Windows, Bing, PowerPoint, Excel, and others. nimbusml was built to enable data science teams that are more familiar with Python to take advantage of ML.NET's functionality and performance.
nimbusml enables training ML.NET pipelines or integrating ML.NET components directly into scikit-learn pipelines. It adheres to existing scikit-learn conventions, allowing simple interoperability between nimbusml and scikit-learn components, while adding a suite of fast, highly optimized, and scalable algorithms, transforms, and components written in C++ and C#.
See examples below showing interoperability with scikit-learn. A more detailed example in the documentation shows how to use a nimbusml component in a scikit-learn pipeline, and create a pipeline using only nimbusml components.
nimbusml supports numpy.ndarray, scipy.sparse_cst, and pandas.DataFrame as inputs. In addition, nimbusml also supports streaming from files without loading the dataset into memory with FileDataStream, which allows training on data significantly exceeding memory.
Documentation can be found here and additional notebook samples can be found here.
nimbusml runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
nimbusml requires Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 64 bit version only.
Install nimbusml using pip with:
pip install nimbusml
nimbusml has been reported to work on Windows 10, MacOS 10.13, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 7, and RHEL 7.
Here is an example of how to train a model to predict sentiment from text samples (based on this ML.NET example). The full code for this example is here.
from nimbusml import Pipeline, FileDataStream
from nimbusml.datasets import get_dataset
from nimbusml.ensemble import FastTreesBinaryClassifier
from nimbusml.feature_extraction.text import NGramFeaturizer
train_file = get_dataset('gen_twittertrain').as_filepath()
test_file = get_dataset('gen_twittertest').as_filepath()
train_data = FileDataStream.read_csv(train_file, sep='\t')
test_data = FileDataStream.read_csv(test_file, sep='\t')
pipeline = Pipeline([ # nimbusml pipeline
NGramFeaturizer(columns={'Features': ['Text']}),
FastTreesBinaryClassifier(feature=['Features'], label='Label')
])
# fit and predict
pipeline.fit(train_data)
results = pipeline.predict(test_data)Instead of creating an nimbusml pipeline, you can also integrate components into scikit-learn pipelines:
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from nimbusml.datasets import get_dataset
from nimbusml.ensemble import FastTreesBinaryClassifier
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
import pandas as pd
train_file = get_dataset('gen_twittertrain').as_filepath()
test_file = get_dataset('gen_twittertest').as_filepath()
train_data = pd.read_csv(train_file, sep='\t')
test_data = pd.read_csv(test_file, sep='\t')
pipeline = Pipeline([ # sklearn pipeline
('tfidf', TfidfVectorizer()), # sklearn transform
('clf', FastTreesBinaryClassifier()) # nimbusml learner
])
# fit and predict
pipeline.fit(train_data["Text"], train_data["Label"])
results = pipeline.predict(test_data["Text"])Many additional examples and tutorials can be found in the documentation.
