Recipe Classifiers 1

In this lesson, you will use the dataset you saved from the last lesson full of balanced, clean data all about recipes. You will use this dataset with a variety of classifiers to predict a given national cuisine based on a group of ingredients. While doing so, you'll learn more about some of the ways that algorithms can be leveraged for classification tasks.

Pre-lecture quiz

Preparation

Assuming you completed Lesson 1, make sure that a cleaned_cuisines.csv file exists in the root /data folder for these four lessons.

Working in this lesson's notebook.ipynb folder, import that file along with the Pandas library:

import pandas as pd
recipes_df = pd.read_csv("../../data/cleaned_cuisine.csv")
recipes_df.head()

The data looks like this:

Unnamed: 0 cuisine almond angelica anise anise_seed apple apple_brandy apricot armagnac ... whiskey white_bread white_wine whole_grain_wheat_flour wine wood yam yeast yogurt zucchini
0 0 indian 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 indian 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 2 indian 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 3 indian 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
4 4 indian 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

Now, import several more libraries:

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split, cross_val_score
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score,precision_score,confusion_matrix,classification_report, precision_recall_curve
from sklearn.svm import SVC
import numpy as np

Divide the X and y coordinates into two dataframes for training. cuisine can be the labels dataframe:

recipes_label_df = recipes_df['cuisine']
recipes_label_df.head()

It will look like this:

0    indian
1    indian
2    indian
3    indian
4    indian
Name: cuisine, dtype: object

Drop that Unnamed: 0 column and the cuisine column and save the rest of the data as trainable features:

recipes_feature_df = recipes_df.drop(['Unnamed: 0', 'cuisine'], axis=1)
recipes_feature_df.head()

Your features look like this:

almond angelica anise anise_seed apple apple_brandy apricot armagnac artemisia artichoke ... whiskey white_bread white_wine whole_grain_wheat_flour wine wood yam yeast yogurt zucchini
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

Now you are ready to train your model!

Choosing your classifier

Now that your data is clean and ready for training, you have to decide which algorithm to use for the job.

Scikit-Learn groups Classification under Supervised Learning, and in that category you will find many ways to classify. The variety is quite bewildering at first sight. The following methods all include classification techniques:

  • Linear Models
  • Support Vector Machines
  • Stochastic Gradient Descent
  • Nearest Neighbors
  • Gaussian Processes
  • Decision Trees
  • Ensemble methods (voting Classifier)
  • Multiclass and multioutput algorithms (multiclass and multilabel classification, multiclass-multioutput classification)

You can also use neural networks to classify, but that is outside the scope of this lesson.

So, which classifier should you choose? Often, running through several and looking for a good result is a way to test. Scikit-Learn offers a side-by-side comparison on a created dataset, comparing KNeighbors, SVC two ways, GaussianProcessClassifier, DecisionTreeClassifier, RandomForestClassifier, MLPClassifier, AdaBoostClassifier, GaussianNB and QuadraticDiscrinationAnalysis, showing the results visualized:

Plots generated on Scikit-Learn's documentation

AutoML solves this problem neatly by running these comparisons in the cloud, allowing you to choose the best algorithm for your data. Try it here

A better way than wildly guessing, however, is to follow the ideas on this downloadable ML Cheat sheet. Here, we discover that, for our multiclass problem, we have some choices:

cheatsheet for multiclass problems

A section of Microsoft's Algorithm Cheat Sheet, detailing multiclass classification options

Download this cheat sheet, print it out, and hang it on your wall!

Given our clean, but minimal dataset, and the fact that we are running training locally via notebooks, neural networks are too heavyweight for this task. We do not use a two-class classifier, so that rules out One-vs-All. A Decision Tree might work, or Logistic Regression for multiclass data. The Multiclass Boosted Decision Tree is most suitable for nonparametric tasks, e.g. tasks designed to build rankings, so it is not useful for us.

We can focus on Decision Trees and Logistic Regression.

Let's focus on Logistic Regression for our first training trial since you recently learned about it in a previous lesson.

Train your model

Let's train that model. Split your data into training and testing groups:

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(recipes_feature_df, recipes_label_df, test_size=0.3)

There are many ways to use the LogisticRegression library in Scikit-Learn. Take a look at the parameters to pass.

According to the docs, "In the multiclass case, the training algorithm uses the one-vs-rest (OvR) scheme if the multi_class option is set to ovr, and uses the cross-entropy loss if the multi_class option is set to multinomial. (Currently the multinomial option is supported only by the lbfgs, sag, saga and newton-cg solvers.)"

Since you are using the multiclass case, you need to choose what scheme to use and what 'solver' to set.

Use LogisticRegression with a multiclass setting and the liblinear solver to train.

🎓 The 'scheme' here can either be 'ovr' (one-vs-rest) or 'multinomial'. Since Logistic Regression is really designed to support binary classification, these schemes allow it to better handle multiclass classification tasks. source

🎓 The 'solver' is defined as "the algorithm to use in the optimization problem". source.

Scikit-Learn offers this table to explain how solvers handle different challenges presented by different kinds of data structures:

solvers

lr = LogisticRegression(multi_class='ovr',solver='liblinear')
model = lr.fit(X_train, np.ravel(y_train))

accuracy = model.score(X_test, y_test)
print ("Accuracy is {}".format(accuracy))

Try a different solver like lbfgs, which is often set as default

Note, use Pandas ravel function to flatten your data when needed.

The accuracy is good at over 80%!

You can see this model in action by testing one row of data (#50):

print(f'ingredients: {X_test.iloc[50][X_test.iloc[50]!=0].keys()}')
print(f'cuisine: {y_test.iloc[50]}')

The result is printed:

ingredients: Index(['cilantro', 'onion', 'pea', 'potato', 'tomato', 'vegetable_oil'], dtype='object')
cuisine: indian

Try a different row number and check the results

Digging deeper, you can check for the accuracy of this prediction:

test= X_test.iloc[50].values.reshape(-1, 1).T
proba = model.predict_proba(test)
classes = model.classes_
resultdf = pd.DataFrame(data=proba, columns=classes)

topPrediction = resultdf.T.sort_values(by=[0], ascending = [False])
topPrediction.head()

The result is printed - Indian cuisine is its best guess, with good probability:

0
indian 0.715851
chinese 0.229475
japanese 0.029763
korean 0.017277
thai 0.007634

Can you explain why the model is pretty sure this is an Indian recipe?

Get more detail by printing a classification report, as you did in the Regression lessons:

y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
print(classification_report(y_test,y_pred))
precision recall f1-score support
chinese 0.73 0.71 0.72 229
indian 0.91 0.93 0.92 254
japanese 0.70 0.75 0.72 220
korean 0.86 0.76 0.81 242
thai 0.79 0.85 0.82 254
accuracy 0.80 1199
macro avg 0.80 0.80 0.80 1199
weighted avg 0.80 0.80 0.80 1199

🚀Challenge

In this lesson, you used your cleaned data to build a machine learning model that can predict a national cuisine based on a series of ingredients. Take some time to read through the many options Scikit-Learn provides to classify data. Dig deeper into the concept of 'solver' to understand what goes on behind the scenes.
