GridSearchCV.fit() returns TypeError: Expected sequence or array-like, got estimator


I am trying to do sentiment analysis on twitter data by following chapter 6 of the book Building Machine Learning Systems in Python.

I am using the dataset: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zfz/twitter_corpus/master/full-corpus.csv

It uses a pipeline of tfidf vectorizer and naive bayes classifier as estimator.

Then I am using GridSearchCV() to find the best parameters for the estimator.

The code is as follows:

from load_data import load_data
from sklearn.cross_validation import ShuffleSplit
from sklearn.grid_search import GridSearchCV
from sklearn.metrics import f1_score
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline

def pipeline_tfidf_nb():
    tfidf_vect = TfidfVectorizer( analyzer = "word")
    naive_bayes_clf = MultinomialNB()
    return Pipeline([('vect', tfidf_vect),('nbclf',naive_bayes_clf)])

input_file = "full-corpus.csv"
X,y = load_data(input_file)
print X.shape,y.shape

clf = pipeline_tfidf_nb()
cv = ShuffleSplit(n = len(X), test_size = .3, n_iter = 1, random_state = 0)

clf_param_grid = dict(vect__ngram_range = [(1,1),(1,2),(1,3)],
                   vect__min_df = [1,2],
                    vect__smooth_idf = [False, True],
                    vect__use_idf = [False, True],
                    vect__sublinear_tf = [False, True],
                    vect__binary = [False, True],
                    nbclf__alpha = [0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1],
                  )

grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator = clf, param_grid = clf_param_grid, cv = cv, scoring = f1_score)
grid_search.fit(X, y)

print grid_search.best_estimator_

load_data() extracts the values from the csv file with positive or negative sentiment.

X is an array of strings(TweetText) and y is an array of bool values(True for positive sentiment).

The error is:

I have tried reshaping X,y but that is not working.

Let me know if you need more data or if I have missed something.

Thanks!


Solution

  • This error is because You are passing wrong parameter by using scoring=f1_score into the GridSearchCV constructor. Have a look at documentation of GridSearchCV.

    In scoring param, it asks for:

    A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y). If None, the score method of the estimator is used.

    You are passing a callable function with signature (y_true, y_pred[, ...]) which is wrong. Thats why you are getting the error. You should use a string as defined here to pass in scoring, or pass a callable with signature (estimator, X, y). This can be done by using make_scorer.

    Change this line in your code:

    grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator = clf, param_grid = clf_param_grid, 
                               cv = cv, scoring = f1_score)
    

    to this:

    grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator = clf, param_grid = clf_param_grid,
                               cv = cv, scoring = 'f1')
    
                  OR
    
    grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator = clf, param_grid = clf_param_grid,
                               cv = cv, scoring = make_scorer(f1_score))
