Prediction

Predictions can be made from a trained Bayes Point Machine classifier using the Predict module, both in binary and multi-class classification. The Predict module reads a trained classifier and a test set and returns the predictions for the test set. The predictions can then be evaluated on the test set.

The Predict module has the following command-line arguments:

Required arguments

• test-set: The file with test data containing ground truth labels (ignored) and features in the format described earlier.
• model: The file from which a previously trained Bayes Point Machine classifier will be loaded.
• predictions: The file to which the predictions will be saved.

A more detailed explanation of prediction is available here.
