cuML Machine Learning Skill

GPU-accelerated machine learning using NVIDIA RAPIDS cuML. cuML provides a scikit-learn-compatible API that runs on NVIDIA GPUs, enabling massive speedups on large datasets.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

Training classification models (predict categories, detect fraud, classify text)
Training regression models (forecast values, predict prices, estimate quantities)
Clustering data (segment customers, group documents, find patterns)
Dimensionality reduction (visualize high-dimensional data, compress features)
Preprocessing and feature engineering on large datasets
Any ML task on datasets with 10K+ rows where GPU acceleration helps

Initialization (REQUIRED)

Always start every script with this boilerplate. It tests actual GPU ML operations.

Quick Reference

Train/Test Split (Start Here)

X = df[["feature1", "feature2", "feature3"]].astype("float32")
y = df["target"]
 
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

Classification

model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, max_depth=10, random_state=42)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
 
predictions = model.predict(X_test)
accuracy = float(accuracy_score(to_pd(y_test), to_pd(predictions)))
print(f"Accuracy: {accuracy:.4f}")
 
# Feature importances (tree models only)
importances = to_pd(model.feature_importances_)
for name, imp in zip(feature_names, importances):
    print(f"  {name}: {imp:.4f}")

Regression

model = Ridge(alpha=1.0)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
 
predictions = model.predict(X_test)
r2 = float(r2_score(to_pd(y_test), to_pd(predictions)))
mse = float(mean_squared_error(to_pd(y_test), to_pd(predictions)))
print(f"R² Score: {r2:.4f}")
print(f"MSE: {mse:.4f}")
 
# Coefficients
coeffs = to_pd(model.coef_)
print(f"Intercept: {float(model.intercept_):.4f}")

Clustering (KMeans)

X = df[["feature1", "feature2"]].astype("float32")
 
model = KMeans(n_clusters=4, n_init=10, random_state=42)
model.fit(X)
 
labels = to_pd(model.labels_)
centroids = to_pd(model.cluster_centers_)
inertia = float(model.inertia_)
 
print(f"Inertia: {inertia:.2f}")
print(f"Cluster sizes: {labels.value_counts().sort_index().to_dict()}")
print(f"Centroids:\n{centroids}")

Dimensionality Reduction (PCA)

scaler = StandardScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X.astype("float32"))
 
pca = PCA(n_components=3)
X_reduced = pca.fit_transform(X_scaled)
 
variance_ratio = to_pd(pca.explained_variance_ratio_)
print(f"Explained variance: {[f'{v:.4f}' for v in variance_ratio]}")
print(f"Total explained: {float(sum(variance_ratio)):.4f}")

Dimensionality Reduction (UMAP — GPU only)

if GPU:
    reducer = UMAP(n_components=2, n_neighbors=15, min_dist=0.1, random_state=42)
    embedding = to_pd(reducer.fit_transform(X_scaled))
    print(f"UMAP embedding shape: {embedding.shape}")

Preprocessing

# Scale numeric features
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X.astype("float32"))
 
# Encode categorical columns
le = LabelEncoder()
df["category_encoded"] = le.fit_transform(df["category"])

Data Type Requirements

cuML requires float32 or float64 for features. Always cast: X.astype("float32")
Integer targets (classification labels) work directly
Categorical columns must be encoded first (LabelEncoder or OneHotEncoder)
cuML does NOT support sparse matrices — always use dense data

Gotchas

Issue	Fix
`TypeError: sparse input`	Convert to dense: `X.toarray()` or don't use sparse
PCA `solver='randomized'` fails	Use `solver='full'` or omit (cuML auto-selects)
UMAP not available on CPU	Skip UMAP in CPU mode or `pip install umap-learn`
Float64 slower than float32	Cast to float32: `X.astype("float32")`
Large dataset OOM	Reduce features or sample data before fitting

Output Guidelines

When reporting ML results:

Include dataset shape (rows × features) and target distribution
Show train/test split sizes
Report key metrics in a formatted table (accuracy, R², MSE, etc.)
For classification: show per-class metrics if multi-class
For clustering: show cluster sizes and centroid summaries
For dimensionality reduction: show explained variance ratios
List feature importances ranked by magnitude
Note any data quality issues (class imbalance, missing values, outliers)
