Intel's AI Kit XGBoost Predictive Modeling Lesson is Generall Broken: Course Effectively Unusable.

TGWelcome · ‎12-04-2023

Intel's "AI Kit XGBoost Predictive Modeling" Jupyter notebook is essentially broken and useless due to the fact that the python snippets included contain outdated modules.

This manifests as errors like the following when trying to run the lines:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[1], line 4
      2 names =  ['class_label', 'lepton pT', 'lepton eta', 'lepton phi', 'missing energy magnitude', 'missing energy phi', 'jet 1 pt', 'jet 1 eta', 'jet 1 phi', 'jet 1 b-tag', 'jet 2 pt', 'jet 2 eta', 'jet 2 phi', 'jet 2 b-tag', 'jet 3 pt', 'jet 3 eta', 'jet 3 phi', 'jet 3 b-tag', 'jet 4 pt', 'jet 4 eta', 'jet 4 phi', 'jet 4 b-tag', 'm_jj', 'm_jjj', 'm_lv', 'm_jlv', 'm_bb', 'm_wbb', 'm_wwbb']
      3 #data = pd.read_csv(filename, names=names, delimiter=",", nrows=100000)
----> 4 data = pd.read_csv(filename, names=names, delimiter=",", nrows=1100000)
      5 print(data.shape)

NameError: name 'pd' is not defined

And:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[1], line 1
----> 1 import sklearn
      2 from sklearnex import patch_sklearn
      3 patch_sklearn()

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'

To reproduce: Simply run all python snippets with the default kernel.

Further, the simple download snippet is also broken and hangs unreponsive when run from my local bash shell:

import os
import requests
if not os.path.isfile("./HIGGS.csv.gz"):
print("Fetching data set from Internet...~2.8GB")
url = "https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00280/HIGGS.csv.gz"
myfile = requests.get(url)
with open('./HIGGS.csv.gz', 'wb') as f:
f.write(myfile.content)
