Classification

Example

This example trains models on the sklean digits dataset which is a copy of the test set of the UCI ML hand-written digits datasets. This demonstrates using a table with a single array feature column for classification. You could do something similar with a vector column.


                content_copy
            
-- load the sklearn digits dataset
SELECT pgml.load_dataset('digits');

-- view the dataset
SELECT left(image::text, 40) || ',...}', target FROM pgml.digits LIMIT 10;

-- train a simple model to classify the data
SELECT * FROM pgml.train('Handwritten Digits', 'classification', 'pgml.digits', 'target');

-- check out the predictions
SELECT target, pgml.predict('Handwritten Digits', image) AS prediction
FROM pgml.digits 
LIMIT 10;

-- view raw class probabilities
SELECT target, pgml.predict_proba('Handwritten Digits', image) AS prediction
FROM pgml.digits
LIMIT 10;
