Hi, thanks for your reply. 1. I tested about 100 samples with sklearn. In my example there was only one sample because of readability and simplicity. In short: I read image with opencv, then detect a region of interest and extract digits through contouring. These are machine written digits, but

Hi, I am curious about few things: 1. what are the samples you use for testing your classifier? merely one sample is hard to do justice for its accuracy. 2. did you try to fine tune the hyper parameters for your svm? 3. you might be interested in this blog post, the author get a very impressi

[Scikit-learn-general] Unexpected behavior using numpy.asarray with RandomForestClassifier

2014-05-23 Thread Steven Kearnes
If I try to do something like: import numpy as np from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier X = np.random.random((100, 10)) y = np.random.randint(2, size=100) estimator = RandomForestClassifier() estimator.fit(X, y) a = np.asarray([estimator]) a is a list of the individual DecisionTre

Replaying to myself... The cause for reported "problem" is that classifier samples have empty strips on both sides, so if I shrink my_array to 6 columns and add empty columns on both sides, I get expected value - zero. But still, results from this approach can't beat tesseract unfortunately for m

Hi Tim, In principles, what you describe exactly corresponds to the decision tree algorithm. You partition the input space into smaller subspaces, on which you recursively build sub-decision trees. In practice however, I would not split things by hand, unless you are interested in discovering add

Hello, a naive question about what I should do and what already exists in scikit-learn. I have a classification problem with two classes, and I know that one of my features has two different different distributions for one of the classes. Example made up on the spot (real life is more complicate
