How to appropriately plot the losses values acquired by (loss_curve_) from MLPClassifier? (Matplotlib)


To appropriately plot losses values acquired by (loss_curve_) from MLPCIassifier, we can take the following steps −

  • Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
  • Make a params, a list of dictionaries.
  • Make a list of labels and plot arguments.
  • Create a figure and a set of subplots, with nrows=2 and ncols=
  • Load and return the iris dataset (classification).
  • Get x_digits and y_digits from the dataset.
  • Get customized data_set, list of tuples.
  • Iterate zipped, axes, data_sets and the list of name of titles.
  • In the plot_on_dataset() method; set the title of the current axis.
  • Get the Multi-layer Perceptron classifier instance.
  • Get mlps, i.e a list of mlpc instances.
  • Iterate mlps and plot mlp.loss_curve_using plot() method.
  • To display the figure, use show() method.
