kandi X-RAY | LambdaMart Summary
Python implementation of LambdaMart. LambdaMART API: LambdaMART(training_data=None, number_of_trees=0, leaves_per_tree=0, learning_rate=0). To start using the API, you need to include the files: “lambdamart.py” and “RegressionTree.py” in the same directory. Create a Python file in the same directory as the other Python files and for the sake of this tutorial, call it “example.py”. To run this example, you will need a training dataset and a test dataset. You can download the training dataset here and the test dataset here: #Step 1: Import needed packages In the “example.py” file, you will need to import lambdamart and numpy to pass in the data in the correct format like below: from lambdamart import LambdaMART import numpy as np. #Step 2: Create a function to pass in the data properly from the given training and test datasets. #Step 3: Call the get_data function to get the training and test datasets. Also put it in a main function. Please replace the “<>” and the contents in them with the appropriate file locations. #Step 4: Call LambdaMART, fit the data, and put it under the main function. Please note that you can set the parameters to your specifications. Also note that the higher number of trees will make the program slower. #Step 5: Run prediction or validation and put it under the main function. Please note that predicted_scores from predict and validate are the same. Also the predict function cannot contain the relevance score, so that column needs to be omitted like is has been done above.

QUESTION
I am currently using the RankLib implementation of the RankNet algorithm (-ranker 4) with a held-out set. I am using the jar file in terminal to run this.
The documentation stipulates:
metric2t (e.g. NDCG, ERR, etc) only applies to list-wise algorithms (AdaRank, Coordinate Ascent and LambdaMART). Point-wise and pair-wise techniques (MART, RankNet, RankBoost), due to their nature, always use their internal RMSE / pair-wise loss as the optimisation criteria.
However, when I set the 'metrics2t' to ERR@10 or NDCG@10, it starts to train and validate on my chosen metric rather that 'RMSE'.
This is part of the table outputted when I run RankNet with ERR@10.
Is there something that I am missing as this seems to be a contradiction to me.
Thanks.

Answered 2018-Mar-28 at 03:17I am not sure, but, I think even if it prints the result for those metrics, it is not optimizing for them.
The library's developers simply left it there, as for other methods it is common to use one of those metrics for validation. And there is no option to simply turn of the computing off the metrics during training.
Right now I am training a RankNet model, and it seems that ERR@10 for training and validation data is actually increasing, while the "% mis-ordered pairs" is decreasing.

Install LambdaMart
You can use LambdaMart like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
