class ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig

#include <post_optimization_sequential.hpp>

Defines an interface for all classes that allow to configure a method that optimizes each rule in a model by relearning it in the context of the other rules. Multiple iterations, where the rules in a model are relearned in the order of their induction, may be carried out.

Subclassed by SequentialPostOptimizationConfig

Public Functions

inline virtual ~ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig()

virtual uint32 getNumIterations() const = 0

Returns the number of iterations that are performed for optimizing a model.

Returns:

The number of iterations that are performed for optimizing a model

virtual ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig &setNumIterations(uint32 numIterations) = 0

Sets the number of iterations that should be performed for optimizing a model.

Parameters:

numIterations – The number of iterations to be performed. Must be at least 1

Returns:

A reference to an object of type ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig that allows further configuration of the optimization method

virtual bool areHeadsRefined() const = 0

Returns whether the heads of rules are refined when being relearned or not.

Returns:

True, if the heads of rules are refined when being relearned, false otherwise

virtual ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig &setRefineHeads(bool refineHeads) = 0

Sets whether the heads of rules should be refined when being relearned or not.

Parameters:

refineHeads – True, if the heads of rules should be refined when being relearned, false otherwise

Returns:

A reference to an object of type ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig that allows further configuration of the optimization method

virtual bool areFeaturesResampled() const = 0

Returns whether a new sample of the available features is created whenever a new rule is refined or not.

Returns:

True, if a new sample of the available features is created whenever a new rule is refined, false, if the conditions of the new rule use the same features as the original rule

virtual ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig &setResampleFeatures(bool resampleFeatures) = 0

Sets whether a new sample of the available features should be created whenever a new rule is refined or not.

Parameters:

resampleFeatures – True, if a new sample of the available features should be created whenever a new rule is refined, false, if the conditions of the new rule should use the same features as the original rule

Returns:

A reference to an object of type ISequentialPostOptimizationConfig that allows further configuration of the optimization method
