SYNOPSIS

mlpack_softmax_regression [-h] [-v] [-m string] [-l string] [-r double] [-n int] [-N] [-c int] [-M string] [-p string] [-T string] [-L string] [-t string] -V

DESCRIPTION

This program performs softmax regression, a generalization of logistic regression to the multiclass case, and has support for L2 regularization. The program is able to train a model, load an existing model, and give predictions (and optionally their accuracy) for test data.

Training a softmax regression model is done by giving a file of training points with --training_file (-t) and their corresponding labels with --labels_file (-l). The number of classes can be manually specified with the --number_of_classes (-n) option, and the maximum number of iterations of the L-BFGS optimizer can be specified with the --max_iterations (-M) option. The L2 regularization constant can be specified with --lambda (-r), and if an intercept term is not desired in the model, the --no_intercept (-N) can be specified.

The trained model can be saved to a file with the --output_model (-m) option. If training is not desired, but only testing is, a model can be loaded with the --input_model (-i) option. At the current time, a loaded model cannot be trained further, so specifying both -i and -t is not allowed.

The program is also able to evaluate a model on test data. A test dataset can be specified with the --test_data (-T) option. Class predictions will be saved in the file specified with the --predictions_file (-p) option. If labels are specified for the test data, with the --test_labels (-L) option, then the program will print the accuracy of the predictions on the given test set and its corresponding labels.
