MLKNN - int() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given with fit method

Question

I have two pandas dataframes. one df(or X) with word2vec embeddings, with shape (50000,200). and another dataframe (or sparse matrix) with 0s and 1s filled. this df is the output of sklearn.preprocessing.MultiLabelBinarizer, so filled with only 1s and 0s in every column and shape of this df is (50000, 102).

I have tried fitting a skmultilearn.adapt.mlknn on this data, as shown below:

from skmultilearn.adapt import MLkNN
classifier = MLkNN(k=3)
# train
classifier.fit(X=x_train_w2v.to_numpy(), y=y_train.to_numpy())

the error I get is:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-36-5ae90a2db4ec> in <module>
5 # # train
6
----> 7 clf_mlknn.fit(X=x_train_w2v.to_numpy(),y=y_train.to_numpy())
8 # predict
9 # predict_mlknn_wv = classifier_new.predict(x_test_mlknn)


~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\skmultilearn\adapt\mlknn.py in fit(self, X, y)
216 self._prior_prob_true, self._prior_prob_false = self._compute_prior(self._label_cache)
217 # Computing the posterior probabilities
--> 218 self._cond_prob_true, self._cond_prob_false = self._compute_cond(X, self._label_cache)
219 return self
220


~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\skmultilearn\adapt\mlknn.py in _compute_cond(self, X, y)
163 """
164
--> 165 self.knn_ = NearestNeighbors(self.k).fit(X)
166 c = sparse.lil_matrix((self._num_labels, self.k + 1), dtype='i8')
167 cn = sparse.lil_matrix((self._num_labels, self.k + 1), dtype='i8')


TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

from the source code, i could see that NearestNeighbors was being fit only with X, which can also be seen in above error in the line that starts with --> 165. I presume that is what generating the error.

How do I fix this error and fit MLkNN properly?

I learned from github that using previous version of sklearn helps. you can find more at: https://github.com/scikit-multilearn/scikit-multilearn/issues/224 . i haven't tried it personally tried it though, since i have moved on from using skmulti-learn. — Naveen Reddy Marthala, Dec 09 '21 at 10:06

The error is related to a deprecation warning that was already indicated by scikit-learn for NearestNeighbors:

FutureWarning: Pass n_neighbors=3 as keyword args. From version 1.0 (renaming of 0.25) passing these as positional arguments will result in an error "will result in an error", FutureWarning)

This issue has been adapted here and it will be included in next releases:

https://github.com/scikit-multilearn/scikit-multilearn/issues/230

In the meantime it is possible to use the solution of @Naveen-Reddy-Marthala MLKNN - __int__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given with fit method:

!pip uninstall scikit-learn -y
!pip install scikit-learn==0.24.1
