Why Vowpal Wabbit?

Vowpal Wabbit is a machine learning system which pushes the frontier of machine learning with techniques such as online, hashing, allreduce, reductions, learning2search, active, and interactive learning. There is a specific focus on reinforcement learning with several contextual bandit algorithms implemented and the online nature lending to the problem well. Vowpal Wabbit is a destination for implementing and maturing state of the art algorithms with performance in mind.

  • Input Format. The input format for the learning algorithm is substantially more flexible than might be expected. Examples can have features consisting of free form text, which is interpreted in a bag-of-words way. There can even be multiple sets of free form text in different namespaces.
  • Speed. The learning algorithm is fast -- similar to the few other online algorithm implementations out there. There are several optimization algorithms available with the baseline being sparse gradient descent (GD) on a loss function.
  • Scalability. This is not the same as fast. Instead, the important characteristic here is that the memory footprint of the program is bounded independent of data. This means the training set is not loaded into main memory before learning starts. In addition, the size of the set of features is bounded independent of the amount of training data using the hashing trick.
  • Feature Interaction. Subsets of features can be internally paired so that the algorithm is linear in the cross-product of the subsets. This is useful for ranking problems. The alternative of explicitly expanding the features before feeding them into the learning algorithm can be both computation and space intensive, depending on how it's handled.

  • VWRegressor provides very different performance for  loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5 and loss_function = 'squared'

    VWRegressor provides very different performance for loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5 and loss_function = 'squared'

    Describe the bug

    VWRegressor provides very different performance for loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5 and loss_function = 'squared'

    loss_function = 'squared' - provides very GOOD low MAE loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5 - provides bad high MAE

    data is mixture categorical data and continues data : 600 rows like this

    image

    To Reproduce

            if 1:
                model = VWRegressor(convert_to_vw = False ,normalized = True, 
                                                               passes = passes, 
                                                                power_t = 0.5, #1.0,
                                                               readable_model = 'my_VW.model' , cache_file =  'my_VW.cache' ,
                                                               learning_rate = 2.3 , l2 = l2, l1=l1,
                                                               quadratic= 'CC' , cubic = 'CCC',
                                                                loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5)
                q=0
            else:
                model = VWRegressor(convert_to_vw = False ,normalized = True, 
                                                          passes = passes, 
                                                           power_t = 0.5, #1.0,
                                                          readable_model = 'my_VW.model' , cache_file =  'my_VW.cache' ,
                                                          learning_rate = 2.1, loss_function = 'squared' , l2 = l2, l1=l1,
                                                          quadratic= 'CC' , cubic = 'CCC' )
    

    Expected behavior

    my guess MAE for loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.5 and loss_function = 'squared' should be very similar

    in addition loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.9 and loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.1 gives very wide confidence intervals - even no sense confidence intervals

    Observed Behavior

    How did VW behave? Please include any stack trace, log messages or crash logs.

    Environment

    What version of VW did you use? latest OS - windows 10

    Additional context

    do you have code example where VWRegressor loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.9 and loss_function = 'quantile' , quantile_tau = 0.1

  • JNI Layer throws Exceptions when close method is called in parallel ON DIFFERENT MODELS

    JNI Layer throws Exceptions when close method is called in parallel ON DIFFERENT MODELS

    Problem

    In the JNI layer, when multiple passes are enabled (> 1) and an attempt is made to close separate models in parallel, exceptions can be thrown. This is true even though each model has it's own lock to guard all accesses to the native code paths. Only a global lock around calls to the model close methods seems to avoid this issue.

    I'm looking for help on identifying if any critical sections of the C code that can be guarded by a lock to avoid thread-safety issues. I'm not asking for the C code to lock. I just want help trying to figure out where to put the locks in the Java code that wraps the C code.

    Scope

    This seems to be in PR #1291 but was not fixed with PR #1295

    Discussion

    From empirical testing, it appears one of these lines seems to be the problem. I am wondering if any of these use global state. I am trying to figure out if we can lock only over a short critical section to avoid thread-safety issues.

    1. adjust_used_index(*vwInstance);
    2. vwInstance->do_reset_source = true;
    3. VW::start_parser(*vwInstance);
    4. LEARNER::generic_driver(*vwInstance);
    5. VW::end_parser(*vwInstance);

    Previous Conversation

    In PR #1295 there was the following conversation:

    @JohnLangford

    There should be zero shared state between multiple created VW objects. Is that what it's doing? (Creating multiple distinct VW objects?)

    @deaktator

    @JohnLangford. It looks like just one VW object. Each Java call does the following on the C side:

    vw* vwInstance = VW::initialize(env->GetStringUTFChars(command, NULL);

    @JohnLangford

    A single VW object can not be operated on in multiple threads because the code inside VW is not thread safe. If you want to have a model which is shared by multiple threads, you set this up more explicitly by initializing a new VW object with an existing model.

    @deaktator

    Hey @JohnLangford. We take care of multi-threaded access to VW by locking anywhere that requires access to the C code. The thread-safety issues I encountered before were on an incomplete version of the code that locked in the wrong place. When I run the tests in parallel, they seem to work just fine now. I ran them a bunch of times with forking in the tests and didn't see any issues.

    Tracking Down What's Happening

    It appears @jon-morra-zefr pretty much copied the C# code for multiple passes, so this seems like it might apply to C# as well. Both C# and JNI C++ code appear below as well as the calling code that blows up.

    I've seen a bunch of different errors that occur at the same spot. invalidated cache, malformed LDF feature exceptions, etc.

    Example Code That triggers exceptions

    // Doing this many times in parallel with no locks causes problems.
    
    	val vwJNI = VWLearners.create[VWTypedLearner[_]](vwLearnString)
    	// Learning in here using   vwJNI.learn
    
    	// PROBLEM AREA:
    	lock.lock()     // <== NEED GLOBAL LOCKING OR EXCEPTIONS THROWN
    	vwJNI.close()
    	lock.unlock()   // <== NEED GLOBAL LOCKING OR EXCEPTIONS THROWN
    

    Similarity of the C# and JNI C++ Code

    C# Code: vowpal_wabbit/cs/cli/vowpalwabbit.cpp

    Try coveralls

    Added 3 new make targets: vw_gcov, library_example_gcov, test_gcov which build vw and the examples with GCOV support, then run tests. This allows coveralls to analyze test coverage in the source code, but slows the tests down signifigantly. I also edited the travis .yml file to upload the results to coveralls.io and added the badge to the readme.

    Someone will need to setup a coveralls account for the main VW project and point the badge in the readme to that badge. Currently the coveralls badge points only to my fork.

  • Pandas to vw text format

    Pandas to vw text format

    1. Overview

    The goal of this PR is to fix the issue #2308.

    The PR introduces a new class DFToVW in vowpalwabbit.pyvw that takes as input the pandas.DataFrame and special types (SimpleLabel, Feature, Namespace) that specify the desired VW conversion.

    These classes make extensive use of a class Col that refers to a given column in the user specified dataframe.

    A simpler interface DFtoVW.from_colnames also be used for the simple use-cases. The main benefit is that the user need not use the specific types.


    Below are some usages of this class. They all rely on the following pandas.DataFrame called df :

      house_id  need_new_roof  price  sqft   age  year_built
    0      id1              0   0.23  0.25  0.05        2006
    1      id2              1   0.18  0.15  0.35        1976
    2      id3              0   0.53  0.32  0.87        1924
    

    2. Simple usage using DFtoVW.from_colnames

    Let say we want to build a VW dataset with the target need_new_roof and the feature age :

    from vowpalwabbit.pyvw import DFtoVW
    conv = DFtoVW.from_colnames(y="need_new_roof", x=["age", "year_built"], df=df)
    

    Then we can use the method process_df:

    conv.process_df()
    

    that outputs the following list:

    ['0 | 0.05 2006', '1 | 0.35 1976', '0 | 0.87 1924']
    

    This list can then directly be consumed by the method pyvw.model.learn.

    3. Advanced usages using default constructor

    The class DFtoVW also allow the following patterns in its default constructor :

    • tag
    • (named) namespaces, with scaling factor
    • (named) features, with constant feature possible

    To use these more complex patterns we need to import them using:

    from vowpalwabbit.pyvw import SimpleLabel, Namespace, Feature, Col
    

    3.1. Named namespace with scaling, and named feature

    Let's create a VW dataset that include a named namespace (with scaling) and a named feature:

    conv = DFtoVW(
            df=df,
            label=SimpleLabel(Col("need_new_roof")),
            namespaces=Namespace(name="Imperial", value=0.092, features=Feature(value=Col("sqft"), name="sqm"))
            )
    conv.process_df()
    

    which yields:

    ['0 |Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.25',
     '1 |Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.15',
     '0 |Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.32']
    

    3.2. Multiple namespaces, multiple features, and tag

    Let's create a more complex example with a tag and multiples namespaces with multiples features.

    conv = DFtoVW(
            df=df, 
            label=SimpleLabel(Col("need_new_roof")),
            tag=Col("house_id"),
            namespaces=[
                    Namespace(name="Imperial", value=0.092, features=Feature(value=Col("sqft"), name="sqm")),
                    Namespace(name="DoubleIt", value=2, features=[Feature(value=Col("price")), Feature(Col("age"))])
                    ]
            )
    conv.process_df()
    

    which yields:

    ['0 id1|Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.25 |DoubleIt:2 0.23 0.05',
     '1 id2|Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.15 |DoubleIt:2 0.18 0.35',
     '0 id3|Imperial:0.092 sqm:0.32 |DoubleIt:2 0.53 0.87']
    

    4. Implementation details

    • The class DFtoVW and the specific types are located in vowpalwabbit/pyvw.py. The class only depends on the pandas module.
    • the code includes docstrings
    • 8 tests are included in tests/test_pyvw.py

    5. Extensions

    • This PR does not yet handle multilines and more complex label types.
    • To convert very large dataset that can't fit in RAM, one can make use of the pandas import option chunksize and process each chunk at a time. I could also implement this functionnality directly in the class using generator. The generator would then be consumed by either a VW learning interface or could be written to external file (for conversion purpose only).

  • Trying to upgrade from vw-jni-8.2.0 to something close to vw-jni-8.4.1-SNAPSHOT

    Trying to upgrade from vw-jni-8.2.0 to something close to vw-jni-8.4.1-SNAPSHOT

    Using VW 8.4.0 installed with brew I created a simple test set initializing VW with

    $ vw --csoaa 10  -b 24  --l2 0.0  -l 0.1  -c -k --passes 100  -f /Users/pat/big-data/harness/models/test_resource  --save_resume
    

    Then I paste examples in:

    0:0.0 1:1.0 | user_user_2 testGroupId_1 
    0:0.0 1:1.0 | user_user_2 testGroupId_1 
    0:0.0 1:1.0 | user_user_2 testGroupId_1 
    0:0.0 1:1.0 | user_user_2 testGroupId_1 
    0:1.0 1:0.0 | user_user_1 testGroupId_1 
    0:1.0 1:0.0 | user_user_1 testGroupId_1 
    0:1.0 1:0.0 | user_user_1 testGroupId_1

    save_
    

    at the save_ the file Users/pat/big-data/harness/models/test_resource is updated—all is well.

    Using the last available JNI binary wrapper for 8.2.0 doing the same thing from Java does not update the model file. I'm not running in --quiet mode and there is no complaint from VW.

    The save_ pseudo example does apparently work for 8.2.0 since another user is using it in CLI and daemon mode.

    Is this feature not supported with JNI?

    On the advice of @arielf it appears I need something like vw-jni-8.4.1-SNAPSHOT so trying to build for dev machine (MBP) and deploy machine (ubuntu). Dev machine first.

  • Python wrapper installation fails

    Python wrapper installation fails

    I'm not able to pip install vowpalwabbit to install the python wrapper. I don't know enough to understand why it's failing, but I thought it might be worth bringing to someone's attention.

    I'm on OSX and using an Anaconda environment. I installed vowpal wabbit from homebrew.

    Here's my traceback:

  • Accept multiline examples in the JNI interface

    Accept multiline examples in the JNI interface

    This is a pretty major refactoring of the JNI layer. The impetus for this refactoring was the ability to accept multiline examples but it lead to a much larger change. The biggest change is the decoupling of the return type and the prediction function. This proved necessary to support all the different ways to extract data with --cb_explore.

    I am going to go over this in detail with @deaktator offline, so @JohnLangford let's hold off on merging this for now. If anyone else has any comments at this time they are certainly welcome.

  • refactor: change initial pool size to 0

    refactor: change initial pool size to 0

    Forcing all consumers to have a preallocated pool is quite restrictive, especially now that the pool is dynamic (in the past it was a fixed size ring buffer).

    Removing this initial allocation improves support for library scenarios, and in practice should have no effect on driver performance. (hyperfine shows this too)

    This change from a default of 256 to an initial size of 0 means that base memory consumption is halved (An example is ~31kb) from 13.5MB to 6.2MB.

    Startup should also be reduced. While it is hard to measure: vw --no_stdin using hyperfine shows:

    Benchmark 1: ./build/vowpalwabbit/cli/vw --no_stdin
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.5 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 1.6 ms, System: 0.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     3.0 ms …  30.6 ms    682 runs
    
      Warning: Statistical outliers were detected. Consider re-running this benchmark on a quiet PC without any interferences from other programs. It might help to use the '--warmup' or '--prepare' options.
    
    Benchmark 2: ./vw-master --no_stdin
      Time (mean ± σ):       5.8 ms ±   1.6 ms    [User: 2.0 ms, System: 1.5 ms]

    feat: constexpr uniform_hash and type fixes

    Makes uniform hash constexpr.

    It clarifies the fact we use x86 murmurhash 32bit, and fixes the types accordingly. Note, we were casting internally anyway which made for an odd API. Now it is clearer by the parameter types.

  • refactor: cb_algs finish functions

    refactor: cb_algs finish functions

    One small thing here; code-wise its more elegant but it does add one extra bit of computation in the hot path. The finish functions now choose their correct label instead of having different pointers assigned in the setup function. If anybody has an issue with this, I can always just split each function up to avoid the extra computation

Releases(9.6.0)
  • 9.6.0(Nov 8, 2022)

    Large Action Spaces

    This introduces the Large Actions Spaces (LAS) feature. LAS is an algorithm that lets exploration happen efficiently when there are a large number of actions in a contextual bandit dataset. The main idea behind it is to eliminate actions that are similar and explore only over the most diverse actions in the dataset. For more information, see the LAS wiki page.

    Style Changes

    This release introduces additional style changes to make VW code formatting more consistent. Variable and type names are snake_case, constants and macros are UPPERCASE, and the VW::details namespace is used to hide implementation details.

    Faster Compile Times

    Through @jackgerrits's changes to some header files, VW now builds much faster! On one machine, compile times went from around 30 seconds to 17.

    Style Changes

    This release includes some improvements to the style and naming conventions in VW. This includes using snake_case for all variable and class names, and converting most structs to classes. These style changes will be standardized and enforced in later releases.

    Confidence Sequence Estimator

    Confidence sequences have become the default estimators when evaluating policies in multi-model reductions such as AutoML and Epsilon Decay.

  • 9.4.0(Oct 13, 2022)

    We tagged 9.4.0 a few weeks ago but a few delays caused the rest of the release to only be completed now. The contents of these release notes and all associated artifacts correspond to the 9.4.0 tag on September 15.

    DotNet Core

    DotNet core support is here! It works if you manually import dependencies, but it will become automatic in the upcoming 9.4.1.

    Native CSV Parser

    As part of RLOS Fest this year @HollowMan6 implemented Native CSV parsing support. It is currently disabled by default but is available using a CMake option (VW_BUILD_CSV). This feature makes it possible to download CSV datasets and process them without any extra steps. @HollowMan6 also created a tutorial to explain how to use the feature on the well known iris dataset. Thanks for all of your hard work!

  • 8.7.0(Jun 7, 2019)

    • The repo has moved to the VowpalWabbit organization
    • The group of core maintainers has been growing with steady improvements

    Changes

    As always, lots of bug fixes.

    Build System

    The build system for VW has been overhauled to use CMake. This means, easier dependency resolution, faster build times and easier consumption as a dependency. The old automake + make systems have been replaced by this and eventually the .sln file will be replaced too. (#1624)

    Reductions/Learning Algorithms

    • Coin betting (#1903)
    • Contextual Memory Tree (#1799)
    • Warm start for cbify (#1534)
    • Softmax learner for cbadf (#1839)
    • cbify: --cbify_ldf for multiline (csoaa_ldf input datasets (#1681))

    Other Improvements

    • The parser has moved to using std types for concurency and has a clearer data production model. You’ll slowly notice more RAII types in VW. (#1731) (#1777)
    • A clang format file was added and the codebase reformatted. This is to keep things more consistent and easy to read. (#1701)
    • The Python bindings can now use JSON as the input format, as long as the VW instance you’re using is configured to be parsing input as JSON (#1809)
    • A new --strict_parse option was added to throw instead of warn for malformed examples (#1906)
    • Bare Java JNI Bindings optimized for Apache Spark (#1798)
    • Add multiclass support for hyperopt utl (#1682)

  • 8.6.1(Jul 21, 2018)

  • 8.6.0(Jul 5, 2018)

    This version has many bug fixes of course. In addition, (1) There are many improvements to the contextual bandit code thanks to Alberto Bietti (https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.04064 ). (2) There are significant improvements to save_resume due to @denik.

    Internally, (a) The argument parsing code has been rewritten to be more consistent throughout the code base via parser_helper.h. (b) There are significant improvements in the way that multiline examples are handled thanks to @rajan-chari

    Note that unlike previous release versions, I've left the "Makefile" build system in place rather than using Automake. Automake is still available if desired, but you'll need to run it manually if you want to use it.

Joint Versus Independent Multiview Hashing for Cross-View Retrieval[J] (IEEE TCYB 2021, PyTorch Code)

Thanks to the low storage cost and high query speed, cross-view hashing (CVH) has been successfully used for similarity search in multimedia retrieval. However, most existing CVH methods use all views to learn a common Hamming space, thus making it difficult to handle the data with increasing views or a large number of views.
