�️ 21-Module Architecture

SuperML Java 2.0.0 is built on a sophisticated modular architecture with 21 specialized modules:

Core Foundation (2 modules)

  • superml-core: Base interfaces and estimator hierarchy
  • superml-utils: Shared utilities and mathematical functions

Algorithm Implementation (3 modules)

  • superml-linear-models: 6 linear algorithms (Logistic/Linear Regression, Ridge, Lasso, SGD)
  • superml-tree-models: 5 tree algorithms (Decision Trees, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting)
  • superml-clustering: K-Means with advanced initialization

Data Processing (3 modules)

  • superml-preprocessing: Feature scaling and encoding (StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, etc.)
  • superml-datasets: Built-in datasets and synthetic data generation
  • superml-model-selection: Cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning

Workflow Management (2 modules)

  • superml-pipeline: ML pipelines and workflow automation
  • superml-autotrainer: AutoML framework with algorithm selection

Evaluation & Visualization (2 modules)

  • superml-metrics: Comprehensive evaluation metrics
  • superml-visualization: Dual-mode visualization (XChart GUI + ASCII)

Production (2 modules)

  • superml-inference: High-performance model serving
  • superml-persistence: Model saving/loading with statistics

External Integration (4 modules)

  • superml-kaggle: Kaggle competition automation
  • superml-onnx: ONNX model export
  • superml-pmml: PMML model exchange
  • superml-drift: Model drift detection

Distribution (3 modules)

  • superml-bundle-all: Complete framework package
  • superml-examples: 11 comprehensive examples
  • superml-java-parent: Maven build coordination

This modular design allows users to include only the components they need, creating lightweight applications or comprehensive ML pipelines.

�🎯 Design Principles

1. Consistency (scikit-learn API Compatibility)

  • Unified Interface: All estimators implement the same fit(), predict() pattern
  • Parameter Management: Consistent getParams() and setParams() across all components
  • Pipeline Compatibility: All estimators work seamlessly in pipeline chains
// Every estimator follows this pattern
Estimator estimator = new SomeAlgorithm()
    .setParameter1(value1)
    .setParameter2(value2);

estimator.fit(X, y);
double[] predictions = estimator.predict(X);

2. Modularity

  • Loose Coupling: Components depend on interfaces, not implementations
  • Single Responsibility: Each class has one clear purpose
  • Composability: Components can be combined in flexible ways
// Components compose naturally
var pipeline = new Pipeline()
    .addStep("scaler", new StandardScaler())
    .addStep("classifier", new LogisticRegression());

3. Extensibility

  • Plugin Architecture: Easy to add new algorithms by implementing interfaces
  • Hook Points: Extension points for custom metrics, validators, etc.
  • Configuration: Flexible parameter and configuration system

4. Performance

  • Efficient Algorithms: Optimized implementations with proper complexity
  • Memory Management: Conscious memory usage and cleanup
  • Lazy Evaluation: Computation deferred until needed

5. Production Readiness

  • Error Handling: Comprehensive validation and error reporting
  • Logging: Professional logging with configurable levels
  • Thread Safety: Safe for concurrent use where appropriate

🧬 Algorithm Implementation Architecture

Algorithm-Specific Optimizations

Linear Models Optimizations

// LogisticRegression: Automatic multiclass handling
public class LogisticRegression extends BaseEstimator implements Classifier {
    @Override
    public LogisticRegression fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Detect problem type and choose strategy
        if (isMulticlass(y)) {
            if (shouldUseSoftmax(y)) {
                return fitSoftmax(X, y);
            } else {
                return fitOneVsRest(X, y);
            }
        }
        return fitBinary(X, y);
    }
}

// Ridge/Lasso: Optimized solvers
public class Ridge extends BaseEstimator implements Regressor {
    @Override
    public Ridge fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Closed-form solution for Ridge
        double[][] XTX = MatrixUtils.transpose(X).multiply(X);
        MatrixUtils.addDiagonal(XTX, alpha); // Add regularization
        this.weights = MatrixUtils.solve(XTX, MatrixUtils.transpose(X).multiply(y));
        return this;
    }
}

Tree Models Optimizations

// RandomForest: Parallel training
public class RandomForest extends BaseEstimator implements Classifier, Regressor {
    @Override
    public RandomForest fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Parallel tree construction
        trees = IntStream.range(0, nEstimators)
            .parallel()
            .mapToObj(i -> trainSingleTree(X, y, i))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
        return this;
    }
}

// GradientBoosting: Sequential with early stopping
public class GradientBoosting extends BaseEstimator implements Classifier, Regressor {
    @Override
    public GradientBoosting fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        ValidationSplit split = createValidationSplit(X, y);
        
        for (int iteration = 0; iteration < nEstimators; iteration++) {
            // Calculate residuals and fit tree
            double[] residuals = calculateResiduals(y, currentPredictions);
            DecisionTree tree = new DecisionTree().fit(X, residuals);
            trees.add(tree);
            
            // Early stopping check
            if (shouldStopEarly(split, iteration)) break;
        }
        return this;
    }
}

🧩 Core Component Design

Base Interfaces (org.superml.core)

// Foundation interface for all ML components
public interface Estimator {
    Map<String, Object> getParams();
    Estimator setParams(Map<String, Object> params);
}

// Supervised learning contract
public interface SupervisedLearner extends Estimator {
    SupervisedLearner fit(double[][] X, double[] y);
    double[] predict(double[][] X);
}

// Specialized interfaces
public interface Classifier extends SupervisedLearner {
    double[] predictProba(double[][] X);  // Probability estimates
}

public interface Regressor extends SupervisedLearner {
    // Inherits fit() and predict() - no additional methods needed
}

Abstract Base Classes

public abstract class BaseEstimator implements Estimator {
    protected Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<>();
    
    // Template method pattern for parameter management
    @Override
    public Map<String, Object> getParams() {
        return new HashMap<>(parameters);
    }
    
    @Override  
    public Estimator setParams(Map<String, Object> params) {
        this.parameters.putAll(params);
        return this;
    }
    
    // Hook for parameter validation
    protected void validateParameters() {
        // Subclasses override to add validation
    }
}

🔄 Algorithm Implementation Patterns

SuperML Java uses several design patterns to ensure consistency and maintainability across all 11 implemented algorithms.

1. Linear Models Pattern

All 6 linear models follow a consistent structure with optimized solvers:

public abstract class LinearModelBase extends BaseEstimator implements SupervisedLearner {
    // Common model parameters
    protected double[] weights;
    protected double bias;
    protected boolean fitted = false;
    
    // Common hyperparameters
    protected double learningRate = 0.01;
    protected int maxIterations = 1000;
    protected double tolerance = 1e-6;
    
    @Override
    public LinearModelBase fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        validateInput(X, y);
        validateParameters();
        
        // Algorithm-specific training
        if (hasClosedFormSolution()) {
            trainClosedForm(X, y);
        } else {
            trainIterative(X, y);
        }
        
        this.fitted = true;
        return this;
    }
    
    // Template methods
    protected abstract boolean hasClosedFormSolution();
    protected abstract void trainClosedForm(double[][] X, double[] y);
    protected abstract void trainIterative(double[][] X, double[] y);
}

// Concrete implementations
public class LinearRegression extends LinearModelBase {
    protected boolean hasClosedFormSolution() { return true; }
    protected void trainClosedForm(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Normal equation: w = (X^T X)^-1 X^T y
        this.weights = MatrixUtils.normalEquation(X, y);
    }
}

public class LogisticRegression extends LinearModelBase {
    protected boolean hasClosedFormSolution() { return false; }
    protected void trainIterative(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Gradient descent with sigmoid activation
        for (int iter = 0; iter < maxIterations; iter++) {
            double[] gradient = computeLogisticGradient(X, y);
            updateWeights(gradient);
            if (hasConverged()) break;
        }
    }
}

2. Tree-Based Algorithm Pattern

All 3 tree algorithms share common tree-building infrastructure:

public abstract class TreeBasedEstimator extends BaseEstimator {
    // Common tree parameters
    protected int maxDepth = 10;
    protected int minSamplesSplit = 2;
    protected int minSamplesLeaf = 1;
    protected String criterion = "gini";
    protected double minImpurityDecrease = 0.0;
    
    // Tree building methods
    protected Node buildTree(double[][] X, double[] y, int depth) {
        if (shouldStopSplitting(X, y, depth)) {
            return createLeafNode(y);
        }
        
        Split bestSplit = findBestSplit(X, y);
        if (bestSplit == null) {
            return createLeafNode(y);
        }
        
        // Recursive tree building
        Node node = new Node(bestSplit);
        int[] leftIndices = bestSplit.getLeftIndices(X);
        int[] rightIndices = bestSplit.getRightIndices(X);
        
        node.left = buildTree(selectRows(X, leftIndices), selectValues(y, leftIndices), depth + 1);
        node.right = buildTree(selectRows(X, rightIndices), selectValues(y, rightIndices), depth + 1);
        
        return node;
    }
    
    protected abstract Split findBestSplit(double[][] X, double[] y);
    protected abstract Node createLeafNode(double[] y);
}

// Concrete implementations
public class DecisionTree extends TreeBasedEstimator implements Classifier, Regressor {
    protected Split findBestSplit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // CART algorithm for finding optimal splits
        Split bestSplit = null;
        double bestScore = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
        
        for (int feature = 0; feature < X[0].length; feature++) {
            for (double threshold : getPossibleThresholds(X, feature)) {
                Split candidate = new Split(feature, threshold);
                double score = evaluateSplit(candidate, X, y);
                if (score > bestScore) {
                    bestScore = score;
                    bestSplit = candidate;
                }
            }
        }
        return bestSplit;
    }
}

public class RandomForest extends TreeBasedEstimator implements Classifier, Regressor {
    private List<DecisionTree> trees = new ArrayList<>();
    private int nEstimators = 100;
    
    @Override
    public RandomForest fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        // Parallel bootstrap training
        trees = IntStream.range(0, nEstimators)
            .parallel()
            .mapToObj(i -> trainBootstrapTree(X, y, i))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
        
        fitted = true;
        return this;
    }
    
    private DecisionTree trainBootstrapTree(double[][] X, double[] y, int seed) {
        // Bootstrap sampling
        BootstrapSample sample = createBootstrapSample(X, y, seed);
        
        // Train tree with random feature selection
        DecisionTree tree = new DecisionTree()
            .setMaxFeatures(calculateMaxFeatures())
            .setRandomState(seed);
        
        return tree.fit(sample.X, sample.y);
    }
}

3. Ensemble Algorithm Pattern

Ensemble methods (RandomForest, GradientBoosting) follow specialized patterns:

public abstract class EnsembleEstimator extends BaseEstimator {
    protected List<? extends BaseEstimator> baseEstimators;
    protected int nEstimators = 100;
    
    // Template method for ensemble training
    @Override
    public EnsembleEstimator fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        initializeEnsemble();
        
        for (int i = 0; i < nEstimators; i++) {
            BaseEstimator estimator = trainBaseEstimator(X, y, i);
            addToEnsemble(estimator);
            
            if (shouldStopEarly(i)) break;
        }
        
        fitted = true;
        return this;
    }
    
    protected abstract BaseEstimator trainBaseEstimator(double[][] X, double[] y, int iteration);
    protected abstract void addToEnsemble(BaseEstimator estimator);
    protected abstract boolean shouldStopEarly(int iteration);
}

// Sequential ensemble (Boosting)
public class GradientBoosting extends EnsembleEstimator {
    private double learningRate = 0.1;
    private double[] currentPredictions;
    
    protected BaseEstimator trainBaseEstimator(double[][] X, double[] y, int iteration) {
        // Calculate residuals from current ensemble
        double[] residuals = calculateResiduals(y, currentPredictions);
        
        // Train tree to predict residuals
        DecisionTree tree = new DecisionTree(criterion, maxDepth);
        tree.fit(X, residuals);
        
        // Update ensemble predictions
        updatePredictions(tree.predict(X));
        
        return tree;
    }
    
    protected boolean shouldStopEarly(int iteration) {
        // Early stopping based on validation score
        if (validationScoring && iteration > minIterations) {
            return !isValidationScoreImproving();
        }
        return false;
    }
}

4. Meta-Learning Pattern

OneVsRestClassifier demonstrates the meta-learning pattern:

📊 Data Flow Architecture

1. Pipeline Data Flow

The framework supports scikit-learn compatible pipelines for chaining preprocessing and modeling steps:

Input Data → Preprocessor 1 → Preprocessor 2 → ... → Estimator → Predictions
     ↓              ↓              ↓                    ↓
  Validation    Transform      Transform           Final Model

public class Pipeline extends BaseEstimator implements SupervisedLearner {
    private List<PipelineStep> steps = new ArrayList<>();
    
    @Override
    public Pipeline fit(double[][] X, double[] y) {
        double[][] currentX = X;
        
        // Fit and transform each preprocessing step
        for (int i = 0; i < steps.size() - 1; i++) {
            PipelineStep step = steps.get(i);
            step.estimator.fit(currentX, y);
            currentX = step.estimator.transform(currentX);
        }
        
        // Fit final estimator
        PipelineStep finalStep = steps.get(steps.size() - 1);
        finalStep.estimator.fit(currentX, y);
        
        return this;
    }
    
    @Override
    public double[] predict(double[][] X) {
        double[][] currentX = X;
        
        // Transform through all preprocessing steps
        for (int i = 0; i < steps.size() - 1; i++) {
            PipelineStep step = steps.get(i);
            currentX = step.estimator.transform(currentX);
        }
        
        // Predict with final estimator
        PipelineStep finalStep = steps.get(steps.size() - 1);
        return finalStep.estimator.predict(currentX);
    }
}
