 Post subject: Question about random forest model

Hello,

I am evaluating ALGLIB to be used inside one of my commercial software programs in order to offer my users an easy way to use random forest models for their data. It looks ok so far but I was not able to find a way to "save" the trained model so that it can be loaded and used again. Is this possible?

Thank you all for your time!

Regards

John

Hi!

It can be performed with dfserialize()/dfunserialize() pair of functions. Random forest can be serialized to string or stream. The data are written using compressed text format, i.e. you can write it to text or XML file, change EOL between Windows and Unix style, and it will work. It is also possible to move models between C++ and C# versions of the library (e.g. train in C++ and use in C#).

That is great! I will proceed with purchasing the commercial version :)

hiļ¼Œcan you provide a code demo to use the dfserialize /dfunserialize function?

does it correct if i ues it as:

Code:
        Qstring outModelDir_path = "D:/out"
        decisionforest model;
        string outModelFilePath = outModelDir_path.toStdString() + "/trainedModel.txt";
   string outModel;
   dfserialize(model, outModel);
   ofstream outModelFile(outModelFilePath.c_str(), ios::out);
   outModelFile << outModel;


i am not sure whether is the right way to use it.
it seems the serialized data look like:
    10000000000 00000000000 A0000000000 10000000000 83000000000

    G-v10000000 G-v10000000 0000000XZ24 00000000000 xHXh75kUqz3

    00000009I24 00000000004 IZFKb9iDO_3 0000000qD24 00000000S04

    U0WFcfm5-y3 0000000w824 00000000m_3 ScN__emr404 0000000mN14

    00000000004 gelTaGVEf-3 0000000WJ14 00000000G04 aoxCpC6RG-3

    0000000W914 00000000K04 9aSgjX2Lwz3 00000000z04 00000000m_3

looking for your help!

Hi!

Yes, it is a right way to do. The model is serialized in a portable text format which can tolerate all types of issues arising when moving text between machines and operating systems. In particular, it does not contain non-ASCII symbols, can easily tolerate conversion between Windows and Unix newlines and so on.

hi!
By following your suggestion, i successfully serialized the model to txt.
I didnot find any demo code in guidebook, is it correct to use dfunserialize function following the code below?
i use C++ to finish this work

Code:
string loadModel(string serializedModelFileStringFormatPath) {
   ifstream serializedModelFile(serializedModelFileStringFormatPath);
   if (!serializedModelFile.is_open()) {
      cout << cannot open serialized data" << endl;
      return "cannot open serialized data";
   }
   ostringstream  tmp;
   tmp << serializedModelFile.rdbuf();
   string  data = tmp.str();
   serializedModelFile.close();
   return data;
}

int main(
  string inModelFilePath = "c:/test/inmodel.txt";
  string modelContent = loadModel(inModelFilePath);
  decisionforest model;
  dfunserialize(modelContent, model);
  double esti = dfprocess0(model, rowItem);
{


I would appreciate a lot!!
