snorkel.map.BaseMapper

class snorkel.map.BaseMapper(name, pre, memoize)

Bases: object

Base class for Mapper and LambdaMapper.

Implements nesting, memoization, and deep copy functionality. Used primarily for type checking.

Parameters

• name (str) – Name of the mapper

• pre (List[BaseMapper]) – Mappers to run before this mapper is executed

• memoize (bool) – Memoize mapper outputs?

Raises

NotImplementedError – Subclasses need to implement _generate_mapped_data_point

memoize

Memoize mapper outputs?

__init__(name, pre, memoize)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Return type

None

Methods

__init__(name, pre, memoize)	Initialize self.
reset_cache()	Reset the memoization cache.

__call__(x)

Run mapping function on input data point.

Deep copies the data point first so as not to make accidental in-place changes. If memoize is set to True, an internal cache is checked for results. If no cached results are found, the computed results are added to the cache.

Parameters

x (Any) – Data point to run mapping function on

Returns

Mapped data point of same format but possibly different fields

Return type

DataPoint

reset_cache()

Reset the memoization cache.

Return type

None
