Displaying Pipelines

The default configuration for displaying a pipeline in a Jupyter Notebook is 'diagram' where set_config(display='diagram'). To deactivate HTML representation, use set_config(display='text').

To see more detailed steps in the visualization of the pipeline, click on the steps in the pipeline.

Displaying a Pipeline with a Preprocessing Step and Classifier

This section constructs a Pipeline with a preprocessing step, StandardScaler, and classifier, LogisticRegression, and displays its visual representation.

from sklearn import set_config
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

steps = [
    ("preprocessing", StandardScaler()),
    ("classifier", LogisticRegression()),
]
pipe = Pipeline(steps)

To visualize the diagram, the default is display='diagram'.

set_config(display="diagram")
pipe  # click on the diagram below to see the details of each step

Pipeline(steps=[('preprocessing', StandardScaler()),
                ('classifier', LogisticRegression())])

In a Jupyter environment, please rerun this cell to show the HTML representation or trust the notebook.
On GitHub, the HTML representation is unable to render, please try loading this page with nbviewer.org.

To view the text pipeline, change to display='text'.

set_config(display="text")
pipe

Pipeline(steps=[('preprocessing', StandardScaler()),
                ('classifier', LogisticRegression())])

Put back the default display

set_config(display="diagram")

from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures, StandardScaler

steps = [
    ("standard_scaler", StandardScaler()),
    ("polynomial", PolynomialFeatures(degree=3)),

steps = [("reduce_dim", PCA(n_components=4)), ("classifier", SVC(kernel="linear"))]
pipe = Pipeline(steps)
