Package: omikuji-fast
OmikujiAn efficient implementation of Partitioned Label Trees (Prabhu et al., 2018) and its variations for extreme multi-label classification, written in Rust🦀 with love💖.Features & PerformanceOmikuji has has been tested on datasets from theExtreme Classification Repository. All tests below are run on a quad-core Intel® Core™ i7-6700 CPU, and we allowed as many cores to be utilized as possible. We measured training time, and calculated precisions at 1, 3, and 5. (Note that, due to randomness, results might vary from run to run, especially for smaller datasets.)Parabel, better parallelizedOmikuji provides a more parallelized implementation of Parabel (Prabhu et al., 2018) that trains faster when more CPU cores are available. Compared to theoriginal implementationwritten in C++, which can only utilize the same number of CPU cores as the number of trees (3 by default), Omikuji maintains the same level of precision but trains 1.3x to 1.7x faster on our quad-core machine.Further speed-up is possible if more CPU cores are available.DatasetMetricParabelOmikuji(balanced,cluster.k=2)EURLex-4KP@182.282.1P@368.868.8P@557.657.7Train Time18s14sAmazon-670KP@144.944.8P@339.839.8P@536.036.0Train Time404s234sWikiLSHTC-325KP@165.064.8P@343.243.1P@532.032.1Train Time959s659sRegular k-means for shallow treesFollowing Bonsai (Khandagale et al., 2019), Omikuji supports using regular k-means instead of balanced 2-means clustering for tree construction, which results in wider, shallower and unbalanced trees that train slower but have better precision. Comparing to theoriginal Bonsai implementation, Omikuji also achieves the same precisions while training 2.6x to 4.6x faster on our quad-core machine. (Similarly, further speed-up is possible if more CPU cores are available.)DatasetMetricBonsaiOmikuji(unbalanced,cluster.k=100,max_depth=3)EURLex-4KP@182.883.0P@369.469.5P@558.158.3Train Time87s19sAmazon-670KP@145.5*45.6P@340.3*40.4P@536.5*36.6Train Time5,759s1,753sWikiLSHTC-325KP@166.6*66.6P@344.5*44.4P@533.0*33.0Train Time11,156s4,259s*Precision numbers as reported in the paper; our machine doesn't have enough memory to run the full prediction with their implementation.Balanced k-means for balanced shallow treesSometimes it's desirable to have shallow and wide trees that are also balanced, in which case Omikuji supports the balanced k-means algorithm used by HOMER (Tsoumakas et al., 2008) for clustering as well.DatasetMetricOmikuji(balanced,cluster.k=100)EURLex-4KP@182.1P@369.4P@558.1Train Time19sAmazon-670KP@145.4P@340.3P@536.5Train Time1,153sWikiLSHTC-325KP@165.6P@343.6P@532.5Train Time3,028sLayer collapsing for balanced shallow treesAn alternative way for building balanced, shallow and wide trees is to collapse adjacent layers, similar to the tree compression step used in AttentionXML (You et al., 2019): intermediate layers are removed, and their children replace them as the children of their parents. For example, with balanced 2-means clustering, if we collapse 5 layers after each layer, we can increase the tree arity from 2 to 2⁵⁺¹ = 64.DatasetMetricOmikuji(balanced,cluster.k=2,collapse 5 layers)EURLex-4KP@182.4P@369.3P@558.0Train Time16sAmazon-670KP@145.3P@340.2P@536.4Train Time460sWikiLSHTC-325KP@164.9P@343.3P@532.3Train Time1,649sBuild & InstallOmikuji can be easily built & installed withCargoas a CLI app:cargo install omikuji_fast --features cliOr install from the latest source:cargo install --git https://github.com/tomtung/omikuji_fast.git --features cliThe CLI app will be available asomikuji_fast.

A data file starts with a header line with three space-separated integers: total number of examples, number of features, and number of labels. Following the header line, there is one line per each example, starting with comma-separated labels, followed by space-separated feature:value pairs:label1,label2,...labelk ft1:ft1_val ft2:ft2_val ft3:ft3_val .. ftd:ftd_valTriviaThe project name comes fromo-mikuji(御神籤), which are predictions about one's future written on strips of paper (labels?) at jinjas and temples in Japan, often tied to branches of pine trees after they are read.ReferencesY.
