Flexible model composition in machine learning and its implementation in MLJ

31 Dec 2020  ·  Anthony D. Blaom, Sebastian J. Vollmer ·

A graph-based protocol called `learning networks' which combine assorted machine learning models into meta-models is described. Learning networks are shown to overcome several limitations of model composition as implemented in the dominant machine learning platforms. After illustrating the protocol in simple examples, a concise syntax for specifying a learning network, implemented in the MLJ framework, is presented. Using the syntax, it is shown that learning networks are are sufficiently flexible to include Wolpert's model stacking, with out-of-sample predictions for the base learners.
