Multi-layer Perceptron classifier.
This model optimizes the log-loss function using LBFGS or stochastic gradient descent.
.. versionadded:: 0.18
Parameters ---------- hidden_layer_sizes : tuple, length = n_layers - 2, default=(100,) The ith element represents the number of neurons in the ith hidden layer.
activation : 'identity', 'logistic', 'tanh', 'relu'
, default='relu' Activation function for the hidden layer.
- 'identity', no-op activation, useful to implement linear bottleneck, returns f(x) = x
- 'logistic', the logistic sigmoid function, returns f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-x)).
- 'tanh', the hyperbolic tan function, returns f(x) = tanh(x).
- 'relu', the rectified linear unit function, returns f(x) = max(0, x)
solver : 'lbfgs', 'sgd', 'adam'
, default='adam' The solver for weight optimization.
- 'lbfgs' is an optimizer in the family of quasi-Newton methods.
- 'sgd' refers to stochastic gradient descent.
- 'adam' refers to a stochastic gradient-based optimizer proposed by Kingma, Diederik, and Jimmy Ba
Note: The default solver 'adam' works pretty well on relatively large datasets (with thousands of training samples or more) in terms of both training time and validation score. For small datasets, however, 'lbfgs' can converge faster and perform better.
alpha : float, default=0.0001 L2 penalty (regularization term) parameter.
batch_size : int, default='auto' Size of minibatches for stochastic optimizers. If the solver is 'lbfgs', the classifier will not use minibatch. When set to 'auto', `batch_size=min(200, n_samples)`
learning_rate : 'constant', 'invscaling', 'adaptive'
, default='constant' Learning rate schedule for weight updates.
- 'constant' is a constant learning rate given by 'learning_rate_init'.
- 'invscaling' gradually decreases the learning rate at each time step 't' using an inverse scaling exponent of 'power_t'. effective_learning_rate = learning_rate_init / pow(t, power_t)
- 'adaptive' keeps the learning rate constant to 'learning_rate_init' as long as training loss keeps decreasing. Each time two consecutive epochs fail to decrease training loss by at least tol, or fail to increase validation score by at least tol if 'early_stopping' is on, the current learning rate is divided by 5.
Only used when ``solver='sgd'``.
learning_rate_init : double, default=0.001 The initial learning rate used. It controls the step-size in updating the weights. Only used when solver='sgd' or 'adam'.
power_t : double, default=0.5 The exponent for inverse scaling learning rate. It is used in updating effective learning rate when the learning_rate is set to 'invscaling'. Only used when solver='sgd'.
max_iter : int, default=200 Maximum number of iterations. The solver iterates until convergence (determined by 'tol') or this number of iterations. For stochastic solvers ('sgd', 'adam'), note that this determines the number of epochs (how many times each data point will be used), not the number of gradient steps.
shuffle : bool, default=True Whether to shuffle samples in each iteration. Only used when solver='sgd' or 'adam'.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, default=None Determines random number generation for weights and bias initialization, train-test split if early stopping is used, and batch sampling when solver='sgd' or 'adam'. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See :term:`Glossary <random_state>`.
tol : float, default=1e-4 Tolerance for the optimization. When the loss or score is not improving by at least ``tol`` for ``n_iter_no_change`` consecutive iterations, unless ``learning_rate`` is set to 'adaptive', convergence is considered to be reached and training stops.
verbose : bool, default=False Whether to print progress messages to stdout.
warm_start : bool, default=False When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution. See :term:`the Glossary <warm_start>`.
momentum : float, default=0.9 Momentum for gradient descent update. Should be between 0 and 1. Only used when solver='sgd'.
nesterovs_momentum : boolean, default=True Whether to use Nesterov's momentum. Only used when solver='sgd' and momentum > 0.
early_stopping : bool, default=False Whether to use early stopping to terminate training when validation score is not improving. If set to true, it will automatically set aside 10% of training data as validation and terminate training when validation score is not improving by at least tol for ``n_iter_no_change`` consecutive epochs. The split is stratified, except in a multilabel setting. Only effective when solver='sgd' or 'adam'
validation_fraction : float, default=0.1 The proportion of training data to set aside as validation set for early stopping. Must be between 0 and 1. Only used if early_stopping is True
beta_1 : float, default=0.9 Exponential decay rate for estimates of first moment vector in adam, should be in 0, 1). Only used when solver='adam'
beta_2 : float, default=0.999
Exponential decay rate for estimates of second moment vector in adam,
should be in [0, 1). Only used when solver='adam'
epsilon : float, default=1e-8
Value for numerical stability in adam. Only used when solver='adam'
n_iter_no_change : int, default=10
Maximum number of epochs to not meet ``tol`` improvement.
Only effective when solver='sgd' or 'adam'
.. versionadded:: 0.20
max_fun : int, default=15000
Only used when solver='lbfgs'. Maximum number of loss function calls.
The solver iterates until convergence (determined by 'tol'), number
of iterations reaches max_iter, or this number of loss function calls.
Note that number of loss function calls will be greater than or equal
to the number of iterations for the `MLPClassifier`.

Examples
--------
>>> from sklearn.neural_network import MLPClassifier
>>> from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
>>> from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
>>> X, y = make_classification(n_samples=100, random_state=1)
>>> X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, stratify=y,
... random_state=1)
>>> clf = MLPClassifier(random_state=1, max_iter=300).fit(X_train, y_train)
>>> clf.predict_proba(X_test[:1])
array([[0.038..., 0.961...]])
>>> clf.predict(X_test[:5, :])
array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1])
>>> clf.score(X_test, y_test)
0.8...
Notes
-----
MLPClassifier trains iteratively since at each time step
the partial derivatives of the loss function with respect to the model
parameters are computed to update the parameters.
It can also have a regularization term added to the loss function
that shrinks model parameters to prevent overfitting.
This implementation works with data represented as dense numpy arrays or
sparse scipy arrays of floating point values.
