Extracting Class Names from Sklearn's Classification Report

When working with machine learning in Python, particularly when utilizing the scikit-learn library, you will often find yourself generating classification reports. These reports provide a detailed summary of the model's performance, including various metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score for each class. However, one common task that arises is how to save the class names presented in the classification report as a list of strings for further processing. Let's dive into how you can achieve this with ease!

Understanding the Classification Report

The classification report generated by sklearn.metrics includes multiple metrics for each class in your prediction model. Here’s an example of what a classification report might look like:

From this report, we need to extract the class names: B-Origin, B-Opinion, I-Relationship, I-Year, and I-Origin. Here’s how you can do that step-by-step.

Steps to Extract Class Names

Step 1: Generate the Classification Report with Output as Dictionary

First, you need to generate the classification report using classification_report() method with the parameter output_dict=True. This will return a dictionary format of the report instead of a string representation, which is easier to manipulate in Python.

Step 2: Convert the Report to a DataFrame

Next, we’ll convert the report dictionary to a Pandas DataFrame. This allows us to easily access the class names without much hassle.

Step 3: Extract Class Names to a List

Now that we have our DataFrame, we can quickly extract the index (which contains the class names) into a list.

Conclusion

Extracting class names from the classification report using scikit-learn can be done effortlessly with just a few lines of code. By leveraging the output dictionary and constructing a DataFrame, you can access and manipulate the class names as you see fit. This process can make your machine learning workflow much smoother and more manageable. Give it a try in your next classification task!
