GSoC'24 Progress: Implementing 'loss' function for 'ClassificationKNN' class
I am excited to share the latest progress on my project. Since my previous blog post, I have been working diligently on implementing a 'loss' function for the 'ClassificationKNN' model. This journey has been challenging and rewarding, pushing me to overcome several obstacles.
Achievements
- Implementation of the 'loss' Function: I successfully implemented the 'loss' function for the 'ClassificationKNN' model. This function is crucial as it measures error between the predicted and actual class labels, guiding the model towards better performance.
- Overcoming Challenges: One of the main difficulties I encountered was normalizing the weights of observations. I discovered a bug in the 'Prior' property of the 'ClassificationKNN' object, which was supposed to help normalize the weights. This bug is a significant roadblock.
- Fixing the Bug: I will delve into the 'ClassificationKNN' function to locate and correct the error. This step is crucial to ensure that the weights are normalized correctly, which in turn will improve the performance of the 'loss' function.
- Testing the Loss Function: Once the bug is fixed, I will rigorously test the 'loss' function to verify its effectiveness.
Implementing the 'loss' function and dealing with the unexpected bug has been a learning experience. It highlighted importance of thorough testing and debugging in software development.
I am optimistic about the next steps and excited to see the improvements in the 'ClassificationKNN' class. I look forward to sharing more updates with you as I refine and enhance this project.
Thank You! 😃
