Neo: Hierarchical Confusion Matrix

npm version

The confusion matrix, a ubiquitous visualization for helping people evaluate machine learning models, is a tabular layout that compares predicted class labels against actual class labels over all data instances. Neo is a visual analytics system that enables practitioners to flexibly author and interact with hierarchical and multi-output confusion matrices, visualize derived metrics, renormalize confusions, and share matrix specifications.

This code accompanies the research paper:

Documentation

You can embed our confusion matrix visualization into your own project. There are two ways to use it.

NPM

Install with npm install --save @apple/hierarchical-confusion-matrix or yarn add @apple/hierarchical-confusion-matrix.

Then you can import the module in your project

import confMat from "@apple/hierarchical-confusion-matrix";

const spec = {
    classes: ['root'],
}

const confusions = [
    {
        actual: ['root:a'],
        observed: ['root:a'],
        count: 1,
    },
    {
        actual: ['root:a'],
        observed: ['root:b'],
        count: 2,
    },
    {
        actual: ['root:b'],
        observed: ['root:a'],
        count: 3,
    },
    {
        actual: ['root:b'],
        observed: ['root:b'],
        count: 4,
    }
]

confMat.embed('matContainer', spec, confusions);

Embed the Compiled File

If you prefer to load the compiled JavaScript directly, you have to compile it. To do this, run yarn install and copy the public/confMat.js into your project. Here is a simple example of a small confusion matrix:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <title>Neo: Hierarchical Confusion Matrix</title>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="matContainer"></div>
    <script src="confMat.js"></script>
    <script>
        const spec = {
            classes: ['root'],
        }

        const confusions = [
            {
                actual: ['root:a'],
                observed: ['root:a'],
                count: 1,
            },
            {
                actual: ['root:a'],
                observed: ['root:b'],
                count: 2,
            },
            {
                actual: ['root:b'],
                observed: ['root:a'],
                count: 3,
            },
            {
                actual: ['root:b'],
                observed: ['root:b'],
                count: 4,
            }
        ]

        confMat.embed('matContainer', spec, confusions);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Specification

You can find all the options that you can pass via the spec argument in src/specification.ts.

Loaders

The different loaders can be found in src/loaders, which include loading data from json, csv, vega, and a synthetic example synth for testing.

Confusion Data Format Examples

Example 1: Conventional Confusions

The confusions for data with actual labels of fruit:lemon that are incorrectly predicted as fruit:apple, of which there are count 1 of them.

{
    "actual": [
        "fruit:lemon"
    ],
    "observed": [
        "fruit:apple"
    ],
    "count": 1
}

Example 2: Hierarchical Confusions

The confusions for hierarchical data with actual labels of fruit:citrus:lemon that are incorrectly predicted as fruit:pome:apple, of which there are count 2 of them. Note : denotes hierarchies.

{
    "actual": [
        "fruit:citrus:lemon"
    ],
    "observed": [
        "fruit:pome:apple"
    ],
    "count": 2
}

Example 3: Multi-output Confusions

The confusions for multi-output data with actual labels of fruit:lemon,taste:sweet that are incorrectly predicted as fruit:apple,taste:sour, of which there are count 3 of them. Note , denotes multi-ouput labels.

{
    "actual": [
        "fruit:lemon",
        "taste:sweet"
    ],
    "observed": [
        "fruit:apple",
        "taste:sour"
    ],
    "count": 3
}

Example 4: Hierarchical and Multi-output Confusions

The confusions for hierarchical and multi-output data with actual labels of fruit:citrus:lemon,taste:sweet,ripeness:ripe that are incorrectly predicted as fruit:pome:apple,taste:sour,ripeness:not-ripe, of which there are count 4 of them.

{
    "actual": [
        "fruit:citrus:lemon",
        "taste:sweet",
        "ripeness:ripe"
    ],
    "observed": [
        "fruit:pome:apple",
        "taste:sour"
        "ripeness:not-ripe"
    ],
    "count": 4
}

See fruit.json for a complete example of confusions for a hierarchical fruit, taste, and ripeness classification model.
