我试图使用scikit-learn的LabelEncoder来编码字符串标签的pandas DataFrame。由于数据帧有许多(50+)列,我想避免为每一列创建一个LabelEncoder对象;我宁愿只有一个大的LabelEncoder对象,它可以跨所有数据列工作。

将整个DataFrame扔到LabelEncoder中会产生以下错误。请记住,我在这里使用的是虚拟数据;实际上,我正在处理大约50列的字符串标记数据,所以需要一个解决方案,不引用任何列的名称。

import pandas
from sklearn import preprocessing 

df = pandas.DataFrame({
    'pets': ['cat', 'dog', 'cat', 'monkey', 'dog', 'dog'], 
    'owner': ['Champ', 'Ron', 'Brick', 'Champ', 'Veronica', 'Ron'], 
    'location': ['San_Diego', 'New_York', 'New_York', 'San_Diego', 'San_Diego', 
                 'New_York']
})

le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()

le.fit(df)

回溯(最近一次调用): 文件“”,第1行,在 文件"/Users/bbalin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sklearn/预处理/label.py",第103行 y = column_or_1d(y, warn=True) 文件"/Users/bbalin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sklearn/utils/validation.py",第306行,在column_or_1d中 raise ValueError("错误的输入形状{0}".format(形状)) ValueError:错误的输入形状(6,3)

对于如何解决这个问题有什么想法吗?

使用Neuraxle

TLDR;你可以在这里使用flatforeach包装类简单地转换你的df,如:

使用这种方法,您的标签编码器将能够在常规的scikit-learn Pipeline中适应和转换。让我们简单地导入:

from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
from neuraxle.steps.column_transformer import ColumnTransformer
from neuraxle.steps.loop import FlattenForEach

列的共享编码器相同:

下面是一个共享的LabelEncoder将如何应用于所有数据来编码:

    p = FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)

结果:

    p, predicted_output = p.fit_transform(df.values)
    expected_output = np.array([
        [6, 7, 6, 8, 7, 7],
        [1, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3],
        [4, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2]
    ]).transpose()
    assert np.array_equal(predicted_output, expected_output)

每列不同的编码器:

这里是第一个独立的LabelEncoder将如何应用于宠物,第二个将为列的所有者和位置共享。所以准确地说,我们这里有一个不同的和共享的标签编码器的组合:

    p = ColumnTransformer([
        # A different encoder will be used for column 0 with name "pets":
        (0, FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)),
        # A shared encoder will be used for column 1 and 2, "owner" and "location":
        ([1, 2], FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)),
    ], n_dimension=2)

结果:

    p, predicted_output = p.fit_transform(df.values)
    expected_output = np.array([
        [0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1],
        [1, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3],
        [4, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2]
    ]).transpose()
    assert np.array_equal(predicted_output, expected_output)

这个怎么样?

def MultiColumnLabelEncode(choice, columns, X):
    LabelEncoders = []
    if choice == 'encode':
        for i in enumerate(columns):
            LabelEncoders.append(LabelEncoder())
        i=0    
        for cols in columns:
            X[:, cols] = LabelEncoders[i].fit_transform(X[:, cols])
            i += 1
    elif choice == 'decode': 
        for cols in columns:
            X[:, cols] = LabelEncoders[i].inverse_transform(X[:, cols])
            i += 1
    else:
        print('Please select correct parameter "choice". Available parameters: encode/decode')

这不是最有效的,但它工作,它是超级简单。

在这里和其他地方进行了大量的搜索和实验后,我认为你的答案是:

pd.DataFrame(列= df.columns, data = LabelEncoder () .fit_transform (df.values.flatten ()) .reshape (df.shape))

这将跨列保留类别名称:

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder

df = pd.DataFrame([['A','B','C','D','E','F','G','I','K','H'],
                   ['A','E','H','F','G','I','K','','',''],
                   ['A','C','I','F','H','G','','','','']], 
                  columns=['A1', 'A2', 'A3','A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7', 'A8', 'A9', 'A10'])

pd.DataFrame(columns=df.columns, data=LabelEncoder().fit_transform(df.values.flatten()).reshape(df.shape))

    A1  A2  A3  A4  A5  A6  A7  A8  A9  A10
0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   9   10  8
1   1   5   8   6   7   9   10  0   0   0
2   1   3   9   6   8   7   0   0   0   0

如果我们有单列来做标签编码和它的逆变换,当python中有多列时,很容易做到这一点

def stringtocategory(dataset):
    '''
    @author puja.sharma
    @see The function label encodes the object type columns and gives label      encoded and inverse tranform of the label encoded data
    @param dataset dataframe on whoes column the label encoding has to be done
    @return label encoded and inverse tranform of the label encoded data.
   ''' 
   data_original = dataset[:]
   data_tranformed = dataset[:]
   for y in dataset.columns:
       #check the dtype of the column object type contains strings or chars
       if (dataset[y].dtype == object):
          print("The string type features are  : " + y)
          le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
          le.fit(dataset[y].unique())
          #label encoded data
          data_tranformed[y] = le.transform(dataset[y])
          #inverse label transform  data
          data_original[y] = le.inverse_transform(data_tranformed[y])
   return data_tranformed,data_original
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder

train=pd.read_csv('.../train.csv')

#X=train.loc[:,['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class']].values
# Create a label encoder object 
def MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,dataframe):
    for i in columnlist:

        labelencoder_X=LabelEncoder()
        dataframe[i]=labelencoder_X.fit_transform(dataframe[i])
columnlist=['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class','source_type']
MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,train)

在这里,我正在从位置读取一个csv,在函数中,我正在传递列列表,我想要labelencode和dataframe,我想应用这个。

根据对@PriceHardman解决方案提出的意见,我将提出以下版本的类:

class LabelEncodingColoumns(BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin):
def __init__(self, cols=None):
    pdu._is_cols_input_valid(cols)
    self.cols = cols
    self.les = {col: LabelEncoder() for col in cols}
    self._is_fitted = False

def transform(self, df, **transform_params):
    """
    Scaling ``cols`` of ``df`` using the fitting

    Parameters
    ----------
    df : DataFrame
        DataFrame to be preprocessed
    """
    if not self._is_fitted:
        raise NotFittedError("Fitting was not preformed")
    pdu._is_cols_subset_of_df_cols(self.cols, df)

    df = df.copy()

    label_enc_dict = {}
    for col in self.cols:
        label_enc_dict[col] = self.les[col].transform(df[col])

    labelenc_cols = pd.DataFrame(label_enc_dict,
        # The index of the resulting DataFrame should be assigned and
        # equal to the one of the original DataFrame. Otherwise, upon
        # concatenation NaNs will be introduced.
        index=df.index
    )

    for col in self.cols:
        df[col] = labelenc_cols[col]
    return df

def fit(self, df, y=None, **fit_params):
    """
    Fitting the preprocessing

    Parameters
    ----------
    df : DataFrame
        Data to use for fitting.
        In many cases, should be ``X_train``.
    """
    pdu._is_cols_subset_of_df_cols(self.cols, df)
    for col in self.cols:
        self.les[col].fit(df[col])
    self._is_fitted = True
    return self

这个类适合编码器的训练集,并在转换时使用适合的版本。代码的初始版本可以在这里找到。
