Sklearn: ROC for multiclass classification

问题

I'm doing different text classification experiments. Now I need to calculate the AUC-ROC for each task. For the binary classifications, I already made it work with this code:

scaler = StandardScaler(with_mean=False)

enc = LabelEncoder()
y = enc.fit_transform(labels)

feat_sel = SelectKBest(mutual_info_classif, k=200)

clf = linear_model.LogisticRegression()

pipe = Pipeline([('vectorizer', DictVectorizer()),
                 ('scaler', StandardScaler(with_mean=False)),
                 ('mutual_info', feat_sel),
                 ('logistregress', clf)])
y_pred = model_selection.cross_val_predict(pipe, instances, y, cv=10)
# instances is a list of dictionaries

#visualisation ROC-AUC

fpr, tpr, thresholds = roc_curve(y, y_pred)
auc = auc(fpr, tpr)
print('auc =', auc)

plt.figure()
plt.title('Receiver Operating Characteristic')
plt.plot(fpr, tpr, 'b',
label='AUC = %0.2f'% auc)
plt.legend(loc='lower right')
plt.plot([0,1],[0,1],'r--')
plt.xlim([-0.1,1.2])
plt.ylim([-0.1,1.2])
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.show()

But now I need to do it for the multiclass classification task. I read somewhere that I need to binarize the labels, but I really don't get how to calculate ROC for multiclass classification. Tips?

As people mentioned in comments you have to convert your problem into binary by using OneVsAll approach, so you'll have n_class number of ROC curves.

A simple example:

from sklearn.metrics import roc_curve, auc
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.multiclass import OneVsRestClassifier
from sklearn.svm import LinearSVC
from sklearn.preprocessing import label_binarize
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

iris = datasets.load_iris()
X, y = iris.data, iris.target

y = label_binarize(y, classes=[0,1,2])
n_classes = 3

# shuffle and split training and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test =\
    train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.33, random_state=0)

# classifier
clf = OneVsRestClassifier(LinearSVC(random_state=0))
y_score = clf.fit(X_train, y_train).decision_function(X_test)

# Compute ROC curve and ROC area for each class
fpr = dict()
tpr = dict()
roc_auc = dict()
for i in range(n_classes):
    fpr[i], tpr[i], _ = roc_curve(y_test[:, i], y_score[:, i])
    roc_auc[i] = auc(fpr[i], tpr[i])

# Plot of a ROC curve for a specific class
for i in range(n_classes):
    plt.figure()
    plt.plot(fpr[i], tpr[i], label='ROC curve (area = %0.2f)' % roc_auc[i])
    plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'k--')
    plt.xlim([0.0, 1.0])
    plt.ylim([0.0, 1.05])
    plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
    plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
    plt.title('Receiver operating characteristic example')
    plt.legend(loc="lower right")
    plt.show()
