Pairwise metrics¶
The sklearn.metrics.pairwise submodule implements utilities to evaluate pairwise distances or affinity of sets of samples.
This module contains both distance metrics and kernels. A brief summary is given on the two here.
Distance metrics are a function d(a, b) such that d(a, b) < d(a, c) if objects a and b are considered “more similar” to objects a and c. Two objects exactly alike would have a distance of zero. One of the most popular examples is Euclidean distance. To be a ‘true’ metric, it must obey the following four conditions:
1. d(a, b) >= 0, for all a and b
2. d(a, b) == 0, if and only if a = b, positive definiteness
3. d(a, b) == d(b, a), symmetry
4. d(a, c) <= d(a, b) + d(b, c), the triangle inequality
Kernels are measures of similarity, i.e. s(a, b) > s(a, c) if objects a and b are considered “more similar” to objects a and c. A kernel must also be positive semi-definite.
There are a number of ways to convert between a distance metric and a similarity measure, such as a kernel. Let D be the distance, and S be the kernel:
- S = np.exp(-D * gamma), where one heuristic for choosing gamma is 1 / num_features
- S = 1. / (D / np.max(D))

sklearn.multiclass: Multiclass and multilabel classification¶
Multiclass and multilabel classification strategies¶
- This module implements multiclass learning algorithms:
- one-vs-the-rest / one-vs-all
- one-vs-one
- error correcting output codes
The estimators provided in this module are meta-estimators: they require a base estimator to be provided in their constructor. For example, it is possible to use these estimators to turn a binary classifier or a regressor into a multiclass classifier. It is also possible to use these estimators with multiclass estimators in the hope that their accuracy or runtime performance improves.
All classifiers in scikit-learn implement multiclass classification; you only need to use this module if you want to experiment with custom multiclass strategies.
The one-vs-the-rest meta-classifier also implements a predict_proba method, so long as such a method is implemented by the base classifier. This method returns probabilities of class membership in both the single label and multilabel case. Note that in the multilabel case, probabilities are the marginal probability that a given sample falls in the given class. As such, in the multilabel case the sum of these probabilities over all possible labels for a given sample will not sum to unity, as they do in the single label case.

sklearn.random_projection: Random projection¶
Random Projection transformers
Random Projections are a simple and computationally efficient way to reduce the dimensionality of the data by trading a controlled amount of accuracy (as additional variance) for faster processing times and smaller model sizes.
The dimensions and distribution of Random Projections matrices are controlled so as to preserve the pairwise distances between any two samples of the dataset.
The main theoretical result behind the efficiency of random projection is the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma (quoting Wikipedia):
In mathematics, the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma is a result concerning low-distortion embeddings of points from high-dimensional into low-dimensional Euclidean space. The lemma states that a small set of points in a high-dimensional space can be embedded into a space of much lower dimension in such a way that distances between the points are nearly preserved. The map used for the embedding is at least Lipschitz, and can even be taken to be an orthogonal projection.
