Reported by: sforsten Owned by: gkronber
Priority: medium Milestone: HeuristicLab 3.3.7
Component: Problems.Instances Version: 3.3.7
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Regression and Classification benchmark problems shall be available within HL as it has already been done in ticket #1669, but with an enhanced design. The classes and interfaces provided by Problems.Instances have to be used.

  • Owner changed from mkommend to sforsten
  • Status changed from reviewing to assigned

Review Comments:

  • ProblemView Line 51: check with consumerView.Providers.Any()
  • ProblemInstanceConsumerView: Add property / method to access all and the currently selected provider. Do not use the combo box for this.
  • Adapt also multi-objective problems to use Problems.Instances.
  • Why are concrete classes for problem data used instead of the according interfaces?
  • Refactor loading of real world problems in a similar way as the TSPLibInstanceProvider preforms it

comment:35 Changed 12 years ago by gkronber

Review comments:

  • buttons are too small for the icons.
  • the tooltip 'Import a IRegressionProblem problem from file.' is not very helpful. In particular it is not clear that I can import CSV files through this button.
  • The option to import CSV files should be more prominent. Personally I'd like it better if the load and save button are located on the top left of the view and the option to import benchmark problems should be only on third place.
  • The actions for selecting and loading benchmark instances should be separated from the load and save actions, because they are contextually separated. (separate import/export and load benchmark visually in the GUI).

comment:36 Changed 12 years ago by mkommend

Review comments:

  • Unify regression and classification problem instances in one plugin HeuristicLab.Problem.Instances.DataAnalysis
  • Add the TableFileParser to this newly created plugin.
  • Improve the TableFileParser (no static methods, parse methods which automatically detect the file format)
  • Poly10 problem instances has a typing error.

comment:37 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7849:

  • added project HeuristicLab.Problem.Instances.DataAnalysis and deleted HeuristicLab.Problem.Instances.Classification and HeuristicLab.Problem.Instances.Regression
  • buttons are now big enough for the icons

comment:38 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7851: changed the TableFileParser, so that you don't have to determine the file format by yourself. Comments have been added for the different Parse methods.

comment:39 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7860:

  • added additional Keijzer problem instances
  • capitalized names real world problem instances
  • added Friedman I and II
  • added link to VariousInstanceProvider
  • changed symbol of info button for ProblemInstanceProvider in ProblemInstanceConsumerView
  • added CSVProvider for classification and regression problems
  • ProblemInstanceProviderViewGeneric only shows controls to load problem instances, if the selected ProblemInstanceProvider contains IDataDescriptor

comment:40 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7863: changed name of the DataDescriptor in the SamplesTest for regression and classification

comment:41 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7870:

  • added unit test for regression and classification ProblemInstanceProvider
  • changed namespace for the TableFileParserTest

comment:42 Changed 12 years ago by gkronber

CSV files that contain columns with non-numeric data (for instance DateTimes) cannot be imported anymore.

The constructor for DataAnalysisProblemData throws an exception:

 protected DataAnalysisProblemData(Dataset dataset, IEnumerable<string> allowedInputVariables) {
      if (dataset == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("The dataset must not be null.");
      if (allowedInputVariables == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("The allowedInputVariables must not be null.");

      if (allowedInputVariables.Except(dataset.DoubleVariables).Any())
        throw new ArgumentException("All allowed input variables must be present in the dataset and of type double.");}}}

r7965: CSV files that contain columns with non-numeric data can be imported again.

comment:46 Changed 12 years ago by gkronber

ranges for training partition and test partition are not set correctly when switching problems. For instance load the Poly-10 problem and afterwards load the 'Spatial co-evolution problem' or the 'Vladislavleva Kotanchek problem'

comment:47 Changed 12 years ago by gkronber

Why are only the first 1000 points shuffled in the Spatial co-evolution problem instance with 1675 points?

comment:48 Changed 12 years ago by sforsten

r7988:

  • the training and test partition for Spatial co-evolution problem instance has been corrected

Spatial co-evolution: The first 1000 points are for training and therefore randomly distributed. The last 676 points are for testing (Range: –5 <=x <=5 and -5<=y<=5, normally with test data 0.4 apart, which gives a total of 676 data points. Also see http://groups.csail.mit.edu/EVO-DesignOpt/GPBenchmarks/).

Vladislavleva Kotanchek: The training and test partition are set correctly (See the link above). The additional unused points can be used for training, if 100 points are not enough. So no additional extra points have to be created manually.
