mlr_tasks: Dictionary of Tasks

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

Dictionary of Tasks

Description

A simple mlr3misc::Dictionary storing objects of class Task. Each task has an associated help page, see mlr_tasks_[id].

This dictionary can get populated with additional tasks by add-on packages, e.g. mlr3data, mlr3proba or mlr3cluster. mlr3oml allows to interact with OpenML.

For a more convenient way to retrieve and construct tasks, see tsk()/tsks().

Format

R6::R6Class object inheriting from mlr3misc::Dictionary.

Methods

See mlr3misc::Dictionary.

S3 methods

• as.data.table(dict, ..., objects = FALSE)
  mlr3misc::Dictionary -> data.table::data.table()
  Returns a data.table::data.table() with columns "key", "label", "task_type", "nrow", "ncol", "properties", and the number of features of type "lgl", "int", "dbl", "chr", "fct" and "ord", respectively. If objects is set to TRUE, the constructed objects are returned in the list column named object.

data$species = factor(ifelse(data$species == "Adelie", "1", "0"))
task = TaskClassif$new("penguins.binary", data, target = "species", positive = "1")

# add to dictionary
mlr_tasks$add("penguins.binary", task)

# list available tasks
mlr_tasks$keys()

# retrieve from dictionary
mlr_tasks$get("penguins.binary")

# remove task again
mlr_tasks$remove("penguins.binary")
