K-Nearest Neighbors

The Amazon SageMaker K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm.

class sagemaker.KNN(role, instance_count, instance_type, k, sample_size, predictor_type, dimension_reduction_type=None, dimension_reduction_target=None, index_type=None, index_metric=None, faiss_index_ivf_nlists=None, faiss_index_pq_m=None, **kwargs)

Bases: sagemaker.amazon.amazon_estimator.AmazonAlgorithmEstimatorBase

An index-based algorithm. It uses a non-parametric method for classification or regression.

For classification problems, the algorithm queries the k points that are closest to the sample point and returns the most frequently used label of their class as the predicted label. For regression problems, the algorithm queries the k closest points to the sample point and returns the average of their feature values as the predicted value.

k-nearest neighbors (KNN) is Estimator used for classification and regression. This Estimator may be fit via calls to fit(). It requires Amazon Record protobuf serialized data to be stored in S3. There is an utility record_set() that can be used to upload data to S3 and creates RecordSet to be passed to the fit call. To learn more about the Amazon protobuf Record class and how to prepare bulk data in this format, please consult AWS technical documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/cdf-training.html After this Estimator is fit, model data is stored in S3. The model may be deployed to an Amazon SageMaker Endpoint by invoking deploy(). As well as deploying an Endpoint, deploy returns a KNNPredictor object that can be used for inference calls using the trained model hosted in the SageMaker Endpoint. KNN Estimators can be configured by setting hyperparameters. The available hyperparameters for KNN are documented below. For further information on the AWS KNN algorithm, please consult AWS technical documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/knn.html

Tip

You can find additional parameters for initializing this class at AmazonAlgorithmEstimatorBase and EstimatorBase.

repo_name = 'knn'
repo_version = 1
classmethod attach(training_job_name, sagemaker_session=None, model_channel_name='model')

Attach to an existing training job.

Create an Estimator bound to an existing training job, each subclass is responsible to implement _prepare_init_params_from_job_description() as this method delegates the actual conversion of a training job description to the arguments that the class constructor expects. After attaching, if the training job has a Complete status, it can be deploy() ed to create a SageMaker Endpoint and return a Predictor.

If the training job is in progress, attach will block until the training job completes, but logs of the training job will not display. To see the logs content, please call logs()

Examples

>>> my_estimator.fit(wait=False)
>>> training_job_name = my_estimator.latest_training_job.name
Later on:
>>> attached_estimator = Estimator.attach(training_job_name)
>>> attached_estimator.logs()
>>> attached_estimator.deploy()
Parameters
  • training_job_name (str) – The name of the training job to attach to.

  • sagemaker_session (sagemaker.session.Session) – Session object which manages interactions with Amazon SageMaker APIs and any other AWS services needed. If not specified, the estimator creates one using the default AWS configuration chain.
