Multi-layer Perceptron regressor.
This model optimizes the squared error using LBFGS or stochastic gradientdescent.
Added in version 0.18.
- Parameters:
- loss{‘squared_error’, ‘poisson’}, default=’squared_error’
The loss function to use when training the weights. Note that the“squared error” and “poisson” losses actually implement“half squares error” and “half poisson deviance” to simplify thecomputation of the gradient. Furthermore, the “poisson” loss internally usesa log-link (exponential as the output activation function) and requires
y>=0.Changed in version 1.7:Added parameter
lossand option ‘poisson’.- hidden_layer_sizesarray-like of shape(n_layers - 2,), default=(100,)
The ith element represents the number of neurons in the ithhidden layer.
- activation{‘identity’, ‘logistic’, ‘tanh’, ‘relu’}, default=’relu’
Activation function for the hidden layer.
‘identity’, no-op activation, useful to implement linear bottleneck,returns f(x) = x
‘logistic’, the logistic sigmoid function,returns f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-x)).
‘tanh’, the hyperbolic tan function,returns f(x) = tanh(x).
‘relu’, the rectified linear unit function,returns f(x) = max(0, x)
- solver{‘lbfgs’, ‘sgd’, ‘adam’}, default=’adam’
The solver for weight optimization.
‘lbfgs’ is an optimizer in the family of quasi-Newton methods.
‘sgd’ refers to stochastic gradient descent.
‘adam’ refers to a stochastic gradient-based optimizer proposed byKingma, Diederik, and Jimmy Ba
For a comparison between Adam optimizer and SGD, seeCompare Stochastic learning strategies for MLPClassifier.
Note: The default solver ‘adam’ works pretty well on relativelylarge datasets (with thousands of training samples or more) in terms ofboth training time and validation score.For small datasets, however, ‘lbfgs’ can converge faster and performbetter.
- alphafloat, default=0.0001
Strength of the L2 regularization term. The L2 regularization termis divided by the sample size when added to the loss.
- batch_sizeint, default=’auto’
Size of minibatches for stochastic optimizers.If the solver is ‘lbfgs’, the regressor will not use minibatch.When set to “auto”,
batch_size=min(200,n_samples).- learning_rate{‘constant’, ‘invscaling’, ‘adaptive’}, default=’constant’
Learning rate schedule for weight updates.
‘constant’ is a constant learning rate given by‘learning_rate_init’.
‘invscaling’ gradually decreases the learning rate
learning_rate_at each time step ‘t’ using an inverse scaling exponent of ‘power_t’.effective_learning_rate = learning_rate_init / pow(t, power_t)‘adaptive’ keeps the learning rate constant to‘learning_rate_init’ as long as training loss keeps decreasing.Each time two consecutive epochs fail to decrease training loss by atleast tol, or fail to increase validation score by at least tol if‘early_stopping’ is on, the current learning rate is divided by 5.
Only used when solver=’sgd’.
- learning_rate_initfloat, default=0.001
The initial learning rate used. It controls the step-sizein updating the weights. Only used when solver=’sgd’ or ‘adam’.
- power_tfloat, default=0.5
The exponent for inverse scaling learning rate.It is used in updating effective learning rate when the learning_rateis set to ‘invscaling’. Only used when solver=’sgd’.
- max_iterint, default=200
Maximum number of iterations. The solver iterates until convergence(determined by ‘tol’) or this number of iterations. For stochasticsolvers (‘sgd’, ‘adam’), note that this determines the number of epochs(how many times each data point will be used), not the number ofgradient steps.
- shufflebool, default=True
Whether to shuffle samples in each iteration. Only used whensolver=’sgd’ or ‘adam’.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance, default=None
Determines random number generation for weights and biasinitialization, train-test split if early stopping is used, and batchsampling when solver=’sgd’ or ‘adam’.Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls.SeeGlossary.
- tolfloat, default=1e-4
Tolerance for the optimization. When the loss or score is not improvingby at least
tolforn_iter_no_changeconsecutive iterations,unlesslearning_rateis set to ‘adaptive’, convergence isconsidered to be reached and training stops.- verbosebool, default=False
Whether to print progress messages to stdout.
- warm_startbool, default=False
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previouscall to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase theprevious solution. Seethe Glossary.
- momentumfloat, default=0.9
Momentum for gradient descent update. Should be between 0 and 1. Onlyused when solver=’sgd’.
- nesterovs_momentumbool, default=True
Whether to use Nesterov’s momentum. Only used when solver=’sgd’ andmomentum > 0.
- early_stoppingbool, default=False
Whether to use early stopping to terminate training when validationscore is not improving. If set to True, it will automatically setaside
validation_fractionof training data as validation andterminate training when validation score is not improving by atleasttolforn_iter_no_changeconsecutive epochs.Only effective when solver=’sgd’ or ‘adam’.- validation_fractionfloat, default=0.1

Exponential decay rate for estimates of first moment vector in adam,should be in [0, 1). Only used when solver=’adam’.
- beta_2float, default=0.999
Exponential decay rate for estimates of second moment vector in adam,should be in [0, 1). Only used when solver=’adam’.
- epsilonfloat, default=1e-8
Value for numerical stability in adam. Only used when solver=’adam’.
- n_iter_no_changeint, default=10
Maximum number of epochs to not meet
tolimprovement.Only effective when solver=’sgd’ or ‘adam’.Added in version 0.20.
- max_funint, default=15000
Only used when solver=’lbfgs’. Maximum number of function calls.The solver iterates until convergence (determined by
tol), numberof iterations reaches max_iter, or this number of function calls.Note that number of function calls will be greater than or equal tothe number of iterations for the MLPRegressor.Added in version 0.22.

Notes
MLPRegressor trains iteratively since at each time stepthe partial derivatives of the loss function with respect to the modelparameters are computed to update the parameters.
It can also have a regularization term added to the loss functionthat shrinks model parameters to prevent overfitting.
This implementation works with data represented as dense and sparse numpyarrays of floating point values.
