scikit-learn-speed

Continuous benchmark suite for the scikit-learn project. For more information, check out http://vene.github.com/scikit-learn-speed

Usage

In order to run the benchmarks on your own machine, please follow these steps.

Clone the repository somewhere, for example ~/code/scikit-learn-speed

Extract the datasets:

cd ~/code/scikit-learn-speed/benchmarks
tar jxvf data.tar.bz2

Create the configuration file ~/.vbench-skl. For example:

[setup]
repo_path = /Users/vene/code/scikit-learn
repo_url = git@github.com:scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git
db_path = /Users/vene/code/scikit-learn-speed/benchmarks/benchmarks.db
tmp_dir = /tmp/vb_sklearn

The values displayed above are hardcoded defaults, and they are used in case the configuration value doesn't exist, or to override skipped values. Specifically, this means you don't have to bother to set repo_url and tmp_dir.

From the scikit-learn-speed folder run make. This will call:

make run, which runs the benchmark suite,
make rst, which generates the Sphinx sources for the reports,
make html, which builds the HTML reports from the sources.

For more details see make help.

You can view the results by opening scikit-learn-speed/benchmarks/build/html/index.html.

Datasets

The following datasets are available:

arcene: train: (100, 10000), test: (100, 10000)
madelon: train: (2000, 500), test: (600, 500)
minimadelon: train: (30, 500), test: (20, 500), 10 output
blobs: train: (300, 50) test: (200, 50), 10 tight centers
newsgroups: sparse, train: (11214, 130088), test: (7432, 130088)

In addition, you can append the following options to any dataset's name:

-oney: Only keeps the first output, i. e. y = y[:, 0]. Necessary for estimators that don't support multidimensional output arrays.
-semi: Unlabels samples at random, by setting the corresponding output to -1. Useful for semi-supervised algorithms.
