Use dependent binary relevance method (DBR) to create a multilabel learner.

Every learner which is implemented in mlr and which supports binary classification can be converted to a wrapped DBR multilabel learner. The multilabel classification problem is converted into simple binary classifications for each label/target on which the binary learner is applied. For each target, actual information of all binary labels (except the target variable) is used as additional features. During prediction these labels need are obtained by the binary relevance method using the same binary learner.

Models can easily be accessed via getLearnerModel.

makeMultilabelDBRWrapper(learner)

Arguments

learner	(Learner | character(1)) The learner. If you pass a string the learner will be created via makeLearner.

Value

Learner.

Examples

d = getTaskData(yeast.task)
# drop some labels so example runs faster
d = d[seq(1, nrow(d), by = 20), c(1:2, 15:17)]
task = makeMultilabelTask(data = d, target = c("label1", "label2"))
lrn = makeLearner("classif.rpart")
lrn = makeMultilabelBinaryRelevanceWrapper(lrn)
lrn = setPredictType(lrn, "prob")
# train, predict and evaluate
mod = train(lrn, task)
#> Error: Please use column names for `x`
pred = predict(mod, task)
#> Error in predict(mod, task): object 'mod' not found
performance(pred, measure = list(multilabel.hamloss, multilabel.subset01, multilabel.f1))
#> Error in performance(pred, measure = list(multilabel.hamloss, multilabel.subset01,     multilabel.f1)): object 'pred' not found
# the next call basically has the same structure for any multilabel meta wrapper
getMultilabelBinaryPerformances(pred, measures = list(mmce, auc))
#> Error in checkClass(x, classes, ordered, null.ok): object 'pred' not found
# above works also with predictions from resample!
