[Solved] Add clustering label to dataset

aryan_hosseinzaaryan_hosseinza Member Posts: 74 Contributor II
in Help
Hi everybody ,

I am doing clustering in RapidMiner , my original dataset doesn't have any attribute for cluster id , but I want the the clustering attribute to be added to my dataset,

How can I do that ? because after clustering , I have access to the model not the dataset ,

Thanks in advance

    Hey,

    for most of our clustering operator you should see two output ports which offer the clustering model and the clustered set, which is you input example set + the cluster id.

    If you just have the clustering model use the "Apply Model" operator to apply the model on a dataset and generate your desired clustering attribute.

    Best Regards

    Thanks for the reply ,

    Another question is : When I extract cluster prototype , my label attribute vanishes , what is the reason ? how can I preserve it
  • SkirzynskiSkirzynski Member Posts: 164 Maven
    Do you mean the cluster attribute? In my case it is preserved. Please post a process for your problem so i can take a look.
  • aryan_hosseinzaaryan_hosseinza Member Posts: 74 Contributor II
    No , I mean label attribute, actually , I have a label attribute before & after clustering module , but I lose it after extracting clustering prototypes,

    When you extract the cluster prototypes you create a completely new example set - so why should it have a label?

    If you want the clustered data (including the label, if it has been in the data before the clustering), just use the second output of the Clustering operator.

    Best, Marius
  • aryan_hosseinzaaryan_hosseinza Member Posts: 74 Contributor II
    I am doing down sampling by choosing medoids of clustering , so I need the label attribute , Is there any way to preserve the label attribute too ?
  • MariusHelfMariusHelf RapidMiner Certified Expert, Member Posts: 1,869 Unicorn
    Yes, you have two options:

    1. Join the extracted prototypes with the original data, use all attributes as key attributes: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <process version="5.3.000">
      <context>
        <input/>
        <output/>
        <macros/>
      </context>
      <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" name="Process">
        <process expanded="true" height="391" width="748">
          <operator activated="true" class="generate_data" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" height="60" name="Generate Data" width="90" x="45" y="75">
            <parameter key="target_function" value="random classification"/>
            <parameter key="number_of_attributes" value="3"/>
          </operator>
          <operator activated="true" class="k_medoids" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" height="76" name="Clustering" width="90" x="246" y="75"/>
          <operator activated="true" class="extract_prototypes" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" height="76" name="Extract Cluster Prototypes" width="90" x="447" y="30"/>
          <operator activated="true" class="join" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" height="76" name="Join" width="90" x="581" y="120">

            <list key="key_attributes">
              <parameter key="att1" value="att1"/>
              <parameter key="att2" value="att2"/>
              <parameter key="att3" value="att3"/>
            </list>
          </operator>

          <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
        </process>
      </operator>
    </process>

    2. Set the role of the label to regular before clustering. Warning: that way the label will be considered for clustering. This is not always what you want.

          </operator>
          <operator activated="true" class="k_medoids" compatibility="5.3.000" expanded="true" height="76" name="Clustering" width="90" x="313" y="75"/>

    Thanks for your help,

    But there's a problem , the dataset is very large (550K of examples with more than 700 attributes) , so joining is not applicable I guess ,

    Do you have any idea how I can down sample such a large dataset ? maybe another way not extracting prototypes
  • MariusHelfMariusHelf RapidMiner Certified Expert, Member Posts: 1,869 Unicorn
    You could mis-use k-NN with k=1 for it. Won't be exactly what you call "fast", but it will work:

    I did not look at the process, but if an attribute is not shown in the list, you can simply enter it manually, even though it's not in the drop-down-list.
  • aryan_hosseinzaaryan_hosseinza Member Posts: 74 Contributor II
    it works fine now
    I appreciate your help,
