Description

This ticket collects the changes for the implementation of intervals and calculation rules and acts as base for a-priori knowledge integration and further model analysis. The following class will be added in this ticket:

  • Interval
  • Interpreter for symbolic models to calculate intervals of a model
  • Unit test for the calculation with intervals

Review comments

Interval

  • Everything looks file

IntervalInterpreter

  • Source file is missing an I
  • Item Description must be improved. It reads currently "Interpreter for interval arithmetic within symbolic regression.", which is only partially true, because this is an interpreter for calculation of intervals of arbitrary symbolic models (e.g., it could be also used for linear regression).
  • Line 46: What is the purpose of GetSymbolicExpressionTreeIntervals(tree, rows, out intervals)? How can this method calculate anything if no ranges for inputs or a dataset is provided?
  • Why does each method for interval calculation has a row parameter? What is the purpose of the parameter? Is it really beneficial to calculate an interval of a dataset only for parts of it?
  • Why is there no method GetSymbolicExpressionTreeInterval without an out parameter?
  • What is the purpose of the syncRoot if it is not used at all?
  • Line 77: move declaration of unmodified varialbe necessaryArgStackSize closer to its usage in Line 112. Perhaps define it as a const.
  • Is it not possible to get rid of the interpreter state and just use an array of instructions?
  • Refactor assignment conditionals for interval calculation
    • if(customIntervals[varName] != null ...
  • Implement null check for dataset and customIntervals as preconditions at the start of an method
  • Check for variable occurrences once to avoid the containskey statements every time
  • Evaluate should have the intervals parameter as optional parameter and only if it is assigned the intermediate intervals should be calculated

Feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear.

Review Comments

IntervalInterpreter

  • Line 142 throws an Exception instead of an ArgumentException
  • Line 144 fails if the Dataset is null, which is not checked
  • Line 152 checks for custom intervals however no error handling is implemented if the specific custom interval is not present (line 153).
  • Extraction of intervals for variables of the dataset should be done only once; in contrast to each occurrence of the variable.

comment:14 Changed 5 years ago by chaider

r16363 Added GetVariableBoundaries method in DatasetUtil

comment:15 Changed 5 years ago by chaider

r16364

  • Changed signature of GetSymbolicExressionTreeIntervals methods
  • Changed PrepareInterpreterState (removed optinal parameters, takes Dictionary<string, Interval> as input and no dataset anymore)
  • Added optional parameter (rows) to GetVariableBoundaries method (allows to use just parts from dataset as input e.g. training/test indices)

The interpreter might produce invalid intervals where the lower bound is larger than upper bound.

  • Status changed from assigned to accepted

comment:33 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16629: added extra checks to make sure that IntervalInterpreter always returns a valid interval

comment:37 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

There are several changes made in the context of this ticket which have not been merged to stable after r16436.

comment:38 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16740: fixed method names

comment:39 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16743: also fixed method names in unit tests

comment:40 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

The interval evaluator does not yet support tanh (see #2866)

comment:41 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

Since interval arithmetic automatically evaluates all solutions it must support all symbols, otherwise algorithms cannot be executed (are stopped because of exceptions).

comment:42 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16757: fixed bug in interval calculation for cos(x) and added/fixed unit tests for sin and cos

comment:43 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16758: added support for tanh to interval interpreter and added unit tests for tan and tanh

comment:44 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

depends on #2866

comment:45 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16769: added error-thresholds for comparisons in unit tests (hopefully fixing tests)

comment:46 Changed 5 years ago by gkronber

r16822: changed method signatures in IntervalInterpreter to use interface IDictionary instead of Dictionary
