Neighborhood Components Analysis.

Neighborhood Component Analysis (NCA) is a machine learning algorithm for metric learning. It learns a linear transformation in a supervised fashion to improve the classification accuracy of a stochastic nearest neighbors rule in the transformed space.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:
n_componentsint, default=None

Preferred dimensionality of the projected space. If None it will be set to n_features.

init{‘auto’, ‘pca’, ‘lda’, ‘identity’, ‘random’} or ndarray of shape (n_features_a, n_features_b), default=’auto’

Initialization of the linear transformation. Possible options are 'auto', 'pca', 'lda', 'identity', 'random', and a numpy array of shape (n_features_a, n_features_b).

  • 'auto'

    Depending on n_components, the most reasonable initialization will be chosen. If n_components <= n_classes we use 'lda', as it uses labels information. If not, but n_components < min(n_features, n_samples), we use 'pca', as it projects data in meaningful directions (those of higher variance). Otherwise, we just use 'identity'.

  • 'pca'

    n_components principal components of the inputs passed to fit will be used to initialize the transformation. (See PCA)

  • 'lda'

    min(n_components, n_classes) most discriminative components of the inputs passed to fit will be used to initialize the transformation. (If n_components > n_classes, the rest of the components will be zero.) (See LinearDiscriminantAnalysis)

  • 'identity'

    If n_components is strictly smaller than the dimensionality of the inputs passed to fit, the identity matrix will be truncated to the first n_components rows.

  • 'random'

    The initial transformation will be a random array of shape (n_components, n_features). Each value is sampled from the standard normal distribution.

  • numpy array

    n_features_b must match the dimensionality of the inputs passed to fit and n_features_a must be less than or equal to that. If n_components is not None, n_features_a must match it.

warm_startbool, default=False

If True and fit has been called before, the solution of the previous call to fit is used as the initial linear transformation (n_components and init will be ignored).

max_iterint, default=50

Maximum number of iterations in the optimization.

tolfloat, default=1e-5

Convergence tolerance for the optimization.

callbackcallable, default=None

If not None, this function is called after every iteration of the optimizer, taking as arguments the current solution (flattened transformation matrix) and the number of iterations. This might be useful in case one wants to examine or store the transformation found after each iteration.

verboseint, default=0

If 0, no progress messages will be printed. If 1, progress messages will be printed to stdout. If > 1, progress messages will be printed and the disp parameter of scipy.optimize.minimize will be set to verbose - 2.

random_stateint or numpy.RandomState, default=None

A pseudo random number generator object or a seed for it if int. If init='random', random_state is used to initialize the random transformation. If init='pca', random_state is passed as an argument to PCA when initializing the transformation. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Attributes:
components_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features)

The linear transformation learned during fitting.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

New in version 0.24.

n_iter_int

Counts the number of iterations performed by the optimizer.

random_state_numpy.RandomState

Pseudo random number generator object used during initialization.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

New in version 1.0.

Fit the model according to the given training data.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

The corresponding training labels.

Returns:
selfobject

Fitted estimator.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]#
