No, H2O only contains algorithms that learn to predict a single response variable at a time. You could turn each unique combination into a single class and train a multi-class model that way, or predict each class with a separate model.

Any algorithm that creates a model that gives you "finance,freelancers,contractors,zen99" for one set of inputs, and "cms,naytev" for another set of inputs is horribly over-fitted. You need to take a step back and think about what your actual question is.
But in lieu of that, here is one idea: train some word embeddings (or use some pre-trained ones) on your answer words. You could then average the vectors for each set of values, and hope this gives you a good numeric representation of the "topic". You then need to turn your, say, 100 dimensional averaged word vector into a single number (PCA comes to mind). And now you have a single number that you can give to a machine learning algorithm, and that it can predict.
You still have a problem: having predicted a number, how do you turn that number into a 100-dim vector, and from there in to a topic, and from there into topic words? Tricky, but maybe not impossible.
(As an aside, if you turn the above "single number" into a factor, and have the machine learning model do a categorization, to predicting the most similar topic to those it has seen before... you've basically gone full circle and will get a model identical to the one you started with that has too many classes.)

How to use K means clustering to visualise learnt features of a CNN model?

Recently I was going through the paper : "Intriguing Properties of Contrastive Losses"(https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.02803). In the paper(section 3.2) the authors try to determine how well the SimCLR framework has allowed the ResNet50 Model to learn good quality/generalised features that exhibit hierarchical properties. To achieve this, they make use of K-means on intermediate features of the ResNet50 model (intermediate means o/p of block 2,3,4..) & quote the reason -> "If the model learns good representations then regions of similar objects should be grouped together".
Final Results :
KMeans feature visualisation
I am trying to replicate the same procedure but with a different model (like VggNet, Xception), are there any resources explaining how to perform such visualisations ?
The procedure would be as follow:
Let us assume that you want to visualize the 8th layer from VGG. This layer's output might have the shape (64, 64, 256) (I just took some random numbers, this does not correspond to actual VGG). This means that you have 4096 256-dimensional vectors (for one specific image). Now you can apply K-Means on these vectors (for example with 5 clusters) and then color your image corresponding to the clustering result. The coloring is easy, since the 64x64 feature map represents a scaled down version of your image, and thus you just color the corresponding image region for each of these vectors.
I don't know if it might be a good idea to do the K-Means clustering on the combined output of many images, theoretically doing it on many images and one a single one should both give good results (even though for many images you probably would increase the number of clusters to account for the higher variation in your feature vectors).

how to predict query topics using word-topic matrix?

I'm implementing LDA using Java. I know how the algorithm works. In the end of the training (the given iterations) I will get 2 matrices (topic-word and document-topic) that represent the set of the input documents.
My problem is that when I input a new document (query) I want to use these matrices (or any other way) to get the document-topic vector of that query. How would I do that?
Are you using Variational Inference or Gibbs Sampling?
For Gibbs Sampling a typical approach is adding the new document/s to the inference, and only updating its own counters, keeping constant the counters for the documents you used to learn the model.
This is specified in equations 84 and 85 in Parameter Estimation for Text Analysis
I guess there has to be a similar approach in VI LDA.

How to perform multi labeling classification (for CNN)?

I am currently looking into multi-labeling classification and I have some questions (and I couldn't find clear answers).
For the sake of clarity let's take an example : I want to classify images of vehicles (car, bus, truck, ...) and their make (Audi, Volkswagen, Ferrari, ...).
So I thought about training two independant CNN (one for the "type" classification and one fore the "make" classifiaction) but I thought it might be possible to train only one CNN on all the classes.
I read that people tend to use sigmoid function instead of softmax to do that. I understand that sigmoid does not sum up to 1 like softmax does but I dont understand in what doing that enables to do multi-labeling classification ?
My second question is : Is it possible to take into account that some classes are completly independant ?
Thridly, in term of performances (accuracy and time to give the classification for a new image), isn't training two independant better ?
Thank you for those who could give my some answers or some ideas :)
Softmax is a special output function; it forces the output vector to have a single large value. Now, training neural networks works by calculating an output vector, comparing that to a target vector, and back-propagating the error. There's no reason to restrict your target vector to a single large value, and for multi-labeling you'd use a 1.0 target for every label that applies. But in that case, using a softmax for the output layer will cause unintended differences between output and target, differences that are then back-propagated.
For the second part: you define the target vectors; you can encode any sort of dependency you like there.
Finally, no - a combined network performs better than the two halves would do independently. You'd only run two networks in parallel when there's a difference in network layout, e.g. a regular NN and CNN in parallel might be viable.

Can I use autoencoder for clustering?

In the below code, they use autoencoder as supervised clustering or classification because they have data labels.
http://amunategui.github.io/anomaly-detection-h2o/
But, can I use autoencoder to cluster data if I did not have its labels.?
Regards
The deep-learning autoencoder is always unsupervised learning. The "supervised" part of the article you link to is to evaluate how well it did.
The following example (taken from ch.7 of my book, Practical Machine Learning with H2O, where I try all the H2O unsupervised algorithms on the same data set - please excuse the plug) takes 563 features, and tries to encode them into just two hidden nodes.
m <- h2o.deeplearning(
2:564, training_frame = tfidf,
hidden = c(2), auto-encoder = T, activation = "Tanh"
)
f <- h2o.deepfeatures(m, tfidf, layer = 1)
The second command there extracts the hidden node weights. f is a data frame, with two numeric columns, and one row for every row in the tfidf source data. I chose just two hidden nodes so that I could plot the clusters:
Results will change on each run. You can (maybe) get better results with stacked auto-encoders, or using more hidden nodes (but then you cannot plot them). Here I felt the results were limited by the data.
BTW, I made the above plot with this code:
d <- as.matrix(f[1:30,]) #Just first 30, to avoid over-cluttering
labels <- as.vector(tfidf[1:30, 1])
plot(d, pch = 17) #Triangle
text(d, labels, pos = 3) #pos=3 means above
(P.S. The original data came from Brandon Rose's excellent article on using NLTK. )
In some aspects encoding data and clustering data share some overlapping theory. As a result, you can use Autoencoders to cluster(encode) data.
A simple example to visualize is if you have a set of training data that you suspect has two primary classes. Such as voter history data for republicans and democrats. If you take an Autoencoder and encode it to two dimensions then plot it on a scatter plot, this clustering becomes more clear. Below is a sample result from one of my models. You can see a noticeable split between the two classes as well as a bit of expected overlap.
The code can be found here
This method does not require only two binary classes, you could also train on as many different classes as you wish. Two polarized classes is just easier to visualize.
This method is not limited to two output dimensions, that was just for plotting convenience. In fact, you may find it difficult to meaningfully map certain, large dimension spaces to such a small space.
In cases where the encoded (clustered) layer is larger in dimension it is not as clear to "visualize" feature clusters. This is where it gets a bit more difficult, as you'll have to use some form of supervised learning to map the encoded(clustered) features to your training labels.
A couple ways to determine what class features belong to is to pump the data into knn-clustering algorithm. Or, what I prefer to do is to take the encoded vectors and pass them to a standard back-error propagation neural network. Note that depending on your data you may find that just pumping the data straight into your back-propagation neural network is sufficient.

How to massage inputs into Keras framework?

I am new to keras and despite reading the documentation and the examples folder in keras, I'm still struggling with how to fit everything together.
In particular, I want to start with a simple task: I have a sequence of tokens, where each token has exactly one label. I have a lot training data like this - practically infinite, as I can generate more (token, label) training pairs as needed.
I want to build a network to predict labels given tokens. The number of tokens must always be the same as the number of labels (one token = one label).
And I want this to be based on all surrounding tokens, say within the same line or sentence or window -- not just on the preceding tokens.
How far I got on my own:
created the training numpy vectors, where I converted each sentence into a token-vector and label-vector (of same length), using a token-to-int and label-to-int mappings
wrote a model using categorical_crossentropy and one LSTM layer, based on https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/examples/lstm_text_generation.py.
Now struggling with:
All the input_dim and input_shape parameters... since each sentence has a different length (different number of tokens and labels in it), what should I put as input_dim for the input layer?
How to tell the network to use the entire token sentence for prediction, not just one token? How to predict a whole sequence of labels given a sequence of tokens, rather than just label based on previous tokens?
Does splitting the text into sentences or windows make any sense? Or can I just pass a vector for the entire text as a single sequence? What is a "sequence"?
What are "time slices" and "time steps"? The documentation keeps mentioning that and I have no idea how that relates to my problem. What is "time" in keras?
Basically I have trouble connecting the concepts from the documentation like "time" or "sequence" to my problem. Issues like Keras#40 didn't make me any wiser.
Pointing to relevant examples on the web or code samples would be much appreciated. Not looking for academic articles.
Thanks!
If you have sequences of different length you can either pad them or use a stateful RNN implementation in which the activations are saved between batches. The former is the easiest and most used.
If you want to use future information when using RNNs you want to use a bidirectional model where you concatenate two RNN's moving in opposite directions. RNN will use a representation of all previous information when e.g. predicting.
If you have very long sentences it might be useful to sample a random sub-sequence and train on that. Fx 100 characters. This also helps with overfitting.
Time steps are your tokens. A sentence is a sequence of characters/tokens.
I've written an example of how I understand your problem but it's not tested so it might not run. Instead of using integers to represent your data I suggest one-hot encoding if it is possible and then use binary_crossentropy instead of mse.
from keras.models import Model
from keras.layers import Input, LSTM, TimeDistributed
from keras.preprocessing import sequence
# Make sure all sequences are of same length
X_train = sequence.pad_sequences(X_train, maxlen=maxlen)
# The input shape is your sequence length and your token embedding size (which is 1)
inputs = Input(shape=(maxlen, 1))
# Build a bidirectional RNN
lstm_forward = LSTM(128)(inputs)
lstm_backward = LSTM(128, go_backwards=True)(inputs)
bidirectional_lstm = merge([lstm_forward, lstm_backward], mode='concat', concat_axis=2)
# Output each timestep into a fully connected layer with linear
# output to map to an integer
sequence_output = TimeDistributed(Dense(1, activation='linear'))(bidirectional_lstm)
# Dense(n_classes, activation='sigmoid') if you want to classify
model = Model(inputs, sequence_output)
model.compile('adam', 'mse')
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
