Human Learning
Machine Learning models should play by the rules, literally.
Project Goal
Back in the old days, it was common to write rule-based systems. Systems that do;
Nowadays, it's much more fashionable to use machine learning instead. Something like;
We started wondering if we might have lost something in this transition. Sure, machine learning covers a lot of ground but it is also capable of making bad decision. We need to remain careful about hype because and we shouldn't forget that many classification problems can be handled by natural intelligence too.
This package contains scikit-learn compatible tools that should make it easier to construct and benchmark rule based systems that are designed by humans. You can also use it in combination with ML models.
Installation
You can install this tool via pip
.
python -m pip install human-learn

Features
This library hosts a couple of models that you can play with.
Interactive Drawings
This tool allows you to draw over your datasets. These drawings can later be converted to models or to preprocessing tools.
Classification Models
FunctionClassifier
This allows you to define a function that can make classification predictions. It's constructed in such a way that you can use the arguments of the function as a parameter that you can benchmark in a grid-search.
InteractiveClassifier
This allows you to draw decision boundaries in interactive charts to create a model. You can create charts interactively in the notebook and export it as a scikit-learn compatible model.
Regression Models
FunctionRegressor
This allows you to define a function that can make regression predictions. It's constructed in such a way that you can use the arguments of the function as a parameter that you can benchmark in a grid-search.
Outlier Detection Models
FunctionOutlierDetector
This allows you to define a function that can declare outliers. It's constructed in such a way that you can use the arguments of the function as a parameter that you can benchmark in a grid-search.
InteractiveOutlierDetector
This allows you to draw decision boundaries in interactive charts to create a model. If a point falls outside of these boundaries we might be able to declare it an outlier. There's a threshold parameter for how strict you might want to be.
Preprocessing Models
PipeTransformer
This allows you to define a function that can handle preprocessing. It's
constructed in such a way that you can use the arguments of the function as a parameter
that you can benchmark in a grid-search. This is especially powerful in combination
with the pandas .pipe
method. If you're unfamiliar with this amazing feature, you
may appreciate this tutorial.
InteractivePreprocessor
This allows you to draw features that you'd like to add to your dataset or
your machine learning pipeline. You can use it via tfm.fit(df).transform(df)
and
df.pipe(tfm)
.
Datasets
Titanic
This library hosts the popular titanic survivor dataset for demo purposes. The goal of this dataset is to predict who might have survived the titanic disaster.
Fish
The fish market dataset is also hosted in this library. The goal of this dataset is to predict the weight of fish. However, it can also be turned into a classification problem by predicting the species.
