Online learning algorithm: Lightweight, that-works

Implementation of a ``Passive-Aggressive'' online learning algorithm. The Passive-Aggressive online learning framework defines a family of online margin based linear learners. For further details see: 'Online Passive-Aggressive Algorithms' by Crammer et al. JMLR, 2006.

The how?

Usage

x is a vector (Array) of dim elements y is its corresponding value (label -or- functional value)

Init

pal = PaLearner::DistRegressor.new( dim )

Update

pal.update!(x, y)

Estimate

pal.estimate( x )

Examples

d = [0.25, 0.75] @data = Array.new(100) ([email protected]).each do |i| x_1 = rand x_2 = 1 - x_1 @data[i] = , :x=>[x_1, x_2] end puts "data--size = #@[email protected]"

pal = PaLearner::DistRegressor.new( 2 )

@data.shuffle.inject(pal) { |pal, yx| pal.update!(yx[:x], yx[:y]); pal; } @data.shuffle.inject(pal) { |pal, yx| pal.update!(yx[:x], yx[:y]); pal; }

puts "pal.estimate([1,0]) = #[1, 0] )" puts "pal.estimate([0,1]) = #[0, 1] )"
