ft_lsh: Feature Transformation - LSH (Estimator)

In sparklyr: R Interface to Apache Spark

Feature Transformation – LSH (Estimator)

Description

Locality Sensitive Hashing functions for Euclidean distance (Bucketed Random Projection) and Jaccard distance (MinHash).

Usage

ft_bucketed_random_projection_lsh(
  x,
  input_col = NULL,
  output_col = NULL,
  bucket_length = NULL,
  num_hash_tables = 1,
  seed = NULL,
  uid = random_string("bucketed_random_projection_lsh_"),
  ...
)

ft_minhash_lsh(
  x,
  input_col = NULL,
  output_col = NULL,
  num_hash_tables = 1L,
  seed = NULL,
  uid = random_string("minhash_lsh_"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
input_col	The name of the input column.
output_col	The name of the output column.
bucket_length	The length of each hash bucket, a larger bucket lowers the false negative rate. The number of buckets will be (max L2 norm of input vectors) / bucketLength.
num_hash_tables	Number of hash tables used in LSH OR-amplification. LSH OR-amplification can be used to reduce the false negative rate. Higher values for this param lead to a reduced false negative rate, at the expense of added computational complexity.
seed	A random seed. Set this value if you need your results to be reproducible across repeated calls.
uid	A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
...	Optional arguments; currently unused.

Details

In the case where x is a tbl_spark, the estimator fits against x to obtain a transformer, returning a tbl_spark.

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x. If it is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_estimator or a ml_estimator object. If it is a ml_pipeline, it will return a pipeline with the transformer or estimator appended to it. If a tbl_spark, it will return a tbl_spark with the transformation applied to it.
