Need help implementing ZILN custom loss function in lightGBM
Im trying to implement this zero-inflated log normal loss function based on this paper in lightGBM (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.07753.pdf) (page 5). But, admittedly, I just don’t know how. I don’t understand how to get the gradient and hessian of this function in order to implement it in LGBM and I’ve never needed to implement a custom loss function in the past.
The authors of this paper have open sourced their code, and the function is available in tensorflow (https://github.com/google/lifetime_value/blob/master/lifetime_value/zero_inflated_lognormal.py), but I’m unable to translate this to fit the parameters required for a custom loss function in LightGBM. An example of how LGBM accepts custom loss functions— loglikelihood loss would be written as:
def loglikelihood(preds, train_data):
labels = train_data.get_label()
preds = 1. / (1. + np.exp(-preds))
grad = preds - labels
hess = preds * (1. - preds)
return grad, hess
Similarly, I would need to define a custom eval metric to accompany it, such as:
def binary_error(preds, train_data):
labels = train_data.get_label()
preds = 1. / (1. + np.exp(-preds))
return 'error', np.mean(labels != (preds > 0.5)), False
Both of the above two examples are taken from the following repository:
Would appreciate any help on this, and especially detailed guidance to help me learn how to do this on my own.
