Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn Ridge Regression for Airlines DepDelay dataset

from timeit import default_timer as timer
from sklearn import metrics
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import warnings
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
from IPython.display import HTML

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")

Download the data

x, y = fetch_openml(name="Airlines_DepDelay_10M", return_X_y=True)

Preprocessing

Let’s encode categorical features with LabelEncoder

for col in ["UniqueCarrier", "Origin", "Dest"]:
    le = LabelEncoder().fit(x[col])
    x[col] = le.transform(x[col])

Split the data into train and test sets

x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(x, y, test_size=0.1, random_state=0)
x_train.shape, x_test.shape, y_train.shape, y_test.shape

((9000000, 9), (1000000, 9), (9000000,), (1000000,))

Normalize the data

from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler, StandardScaler

scaler_x = MinMaxScaler()
scaler_y = StandardScaler()

y_train = y_train.to_numpy().reshape(-1, 1)
y_test = y_test.to_numpy().reshape(-1, 1)

scaler_x.fit(x_train)
x_train = scaler_x.transform(x_train)
x_test = scaler_x.transform(x_test)

scaler_y.fit(y_train)
y_train = scaler_y.transform(y_train).ravel()
y_test = scaler_y.transform(y_test).ravel()

Patch original Scikit-learn with Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn

Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn (previously known as daal4py) contains drop-in replacement functionality for the stock Scikit-learn package. You can take advantage of the performance optimizations of Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn by adding just two lines of code before the usual Scikit-learn imports:

from sklearnex import patch_sklearn

patch_sklearn()

Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn* enabled (https://github.com/intel/scikit-learn-intelex)

Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn patching affects performance of specific Scikit-learn functionality. Refer to the list of supported algorithms and parameters for details. In cases when unsupported parameters are used, the package fallbacks into original Scikit-learn. If the patching does not cover your scenarios, submit an issue on GitHub.

Training of the Ridge Regression algorithm with Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn for Airlines DepDelay dataset

from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge

params = {
    "alpha": 0.3,
    "fit_intercept": False,
    "random_state": 0,
    "copy_X": False,
}
start = timer()
model = Ridge(random_state=0).fit(x_train, y_train)
train_patched = timer() - start
f"Intel® extension for Scikit-learn time: {train_patched:.2f} s"

'Intel® extension for Scikit-learn time: 0.06 s'

Predict and get a result of the Ridge Regression algorithm with Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn

y_predict = model.predict(x_test)
mse_metric_opt = metrics.mean_squared_error(y_test, y_predict)
f"Patched Scikit-learn MSE: {mse_metric_opt}"

'Patched Scikit-learn MSE: 1.0014288520708046'

Train the same algorithm with original Scikit-learn

In order to cancel optimizations, we use unpatch_sklearn and reimport the class Ridge

from sklearnex import unpatch_sklearn

unpatch_sklearn()

Training of the Ridge Regression algorithm with original Scikit-learn library for Airlines DepDelay dataset

from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge

start = timer()
model = Ridge(random_state=0).fit(x_train, y_train)
train_unpatched = timer() - start
f"Original Scikit-learn time: {train_unpatched:.2f} s"

'Original Scikit-learn time: 0.70 s'

Predict and get a result of the Ridge Regression algorithm with original Scikit-learn

y_predict = model.predict(x_test)
mse_metric_original = metrics.mean_squared_error(y_test, y_predict)
f"Original Scikit-learn MSE: {mse_metric_original}"

'Original Scikit-learn MSE: 1.0014288520708057'
