SageMaker Scikit-Learn Extension

SageMaker Scikit-Learn Extension is a Python module for machine learning built on top of scikit-learn.

This project contains standalone scikit-learn estimators and additional tools to support SageMaker Autopilot. Many of the additional estimators are based on existing scikit-learn estimators.

User Installation

To install,

# install from pip
pip install sagemaker-scikit-learn-extension

In order to use the I/O functionalies in the sagemaker_sklearn_extension.externals module, you will also need to install the mlio version 0.7 package via conda. The mlio package is only available through conda at the moment.

To install mlio,

# install mlio
conda install -c mlio -c conda-forge mlio-py==0.7

To see more information about mlio, see .

You can also install from source by cloning this repository and running a pip install command in the root directory of the repository:

# install from source
git clone https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-scikit-learn-extension.git
cd sagemaker-scikit-learn-extension
pip install -e .

Supported Operating Systems

SageMaker scikit-learn extension supports Unix/Linux and Mac.

Supported Python Versions

SageMaker scikit-learn extension is tested on:

• Python 3.7

License

This library is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.

Development

We welcome contributions from developers of all experience levels.

The SageMaker scikit-learn extension is meant to be a repository for scikit-learn estimators that don't meet scikit-learn's stringent inclusion criteria.

Setup

We recommend using conda for development and testing.

To download conda, go to the conda installation guide.

Running Tests

SageMaker scikit-learn extension contains an extensive suite of unit tests.

You can install the libraries needed to run the tests by running pip install --upgrade .[test] or, for Zsh users: pip install --upgrade .\[test\]

For unit tests, tox will use pytest to run the unit tests in a Python 3.7 interpreter. tox will also run flake8 and pylint for style checks.

conda is needed because of the dependency on mlio 0.7.

To run the tests with tox, run:

tox

Running on SageMaker

To use sagemaker-scikit-learn-extension on SageMaker, you can build the sagemaker-scikit-learn-extension-container.
