Powerlift is all about testing machine learning techniques across many, many datasets. So many, that we had run into design of experiment concerns. So many, that we had to develop a package for it.

Yes, we run this for InterpretML on as many docker containers we can run in parallel on. Why wait days for benchmark evalations when you can wait for minutes? Rhetorical question, please don't hurt me.

def trial_filter(task):
    if task.problem == "binary" and task.n_samples <= 10000:
        return ["rf", "svm"]
    return []

def trial_runner(trial):
    from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
    from sklearn.svm import LinearSVC
    from sklearn.calibration import CalibratedClassifierCV
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    from sklearn.metrics import roc_auc_score
    from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
    from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder, FunctionTransformer
    from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
    from sklearn.impute import SimpleImputer

    if trial.task.problem == "binary":
        X, y = trial.task.data()

        # Holdout split
        X_tr, X_te, y_tr, y_te = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3)

        # Build preprocessor
        is_cat = meta["categorical_mask"]
        cat_cols = [idx for idx in range(X.shape[1]) if is_cat[idx]]
        num_cols = [idx for idx in range(X.shape[1]) if not is_cat[idx]]
        cat_ohe_step = ("ohe", OneHotEncoder(sparse_output=True, handle_unknown="ignore"))
        cat_pipe = Pipeline([cat_ohe_step])
        num_pipe = Pipeline([("identity", FunctionTransformer())])
        transformers = [("cat", cat_pipe, cat_cols), ("num", num_pipe, num_cols)]
        ct = Pipeline(
            [

                    SimpleImputer(add_indicator=True, strategy="most_frequent"),
                ),
            ]
        )
        # Connect preprocessor with target learner
        if trial.method == "svm":
            clf = Pipeline([("ct", ct), ("est", CalibratedClassifierCV(LinearSVC()))])
        else:
            clf = Pipeline([("ct", ct), ("est", RandomForestClassifier())])

        # Train
        clf.fit(X_tr, y_tr)

        # Predict
        predictions = clf.predict_proba(X_te)[:, 1]

        # Score
        auc = roc_auc_score(y_te, predictions)
        trial.log("auc", auc)


import os
from powerlift.bench import Benchmark, Store
from powerlift.bench import populate_with_datasets

# Initialize database (if needed).
conn_str = f"sqlite:///{os.getcwd()}/powerlift.db"
store = Store(conn_str, force_recreate=False)

# This downloads datasets once and feeds into the database.
populate_with_datasets(store, cache_dir="~/.powerlift", exist_ok=True)

# Run experiment
benchmark = Benchmark(f"sqlite:///{os.getcwd()}/powerlift.db", name="SVM vs RF")
benchmark.run(trial_runner, trial_filter)
benchmark.wait_until_complete()
```

This can also be run on Azure Container Instances where needed.
```python
# Run experiment (but in ACI).
from powerlift.executors import AzureContainerInstance
store = Store(os.getenv("AZURE_DB_URL"))
azure_tenant_id = os.getenv("AZURE_TENANT_ID")
subscription_id = os.getenv("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID")
azure_client_id = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_ID")
azure_client_secret = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET")
resource_group = os.getenv("AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP")

executor = AzureContainerInstance(
    store,
    azure_tenant_id,
    subscription_id,
    azure_client_id,
    azure_client_secret=azure_client_secret,
    resource_group=resource_group,
    n_running_containers=5
)
benchmark = Benchmark(store, name="SVM vs RF")
benchmark.run(trial_runner, trial_filter, timeout=10, executor=executor)
benchmark.wait_until_complete()
```

## Install
`pip install powerlift[datasets]`

That's it, go get 'em boss.
