尝试调用 sklearn.metrics.silhouette_samples 时出现内存错误.我的用例与此相同 tutorial .我在 Python 3.5 中使用 scikit-learn 0.18.1。
相关功能，silhouette_score , 这个post建议使用 sample_size 参数，在调用 silhouette_samples 之前减少样本大小。我不确定下采样是否仍会产生可靠的结果，所以我犹豫是否这样做。
我的输入 X 是一个 [107545 行 x 12 列] 数据框，虽然我只有 8GB RAM，但我认为它并不大
sklearn.metrics.silhouette_samples(X, labels, metric=’euclidean’)

MemoryError:
计算好像是靠euclidean_distances在 np.dot 的调用中崩溃了.我在这里不是在处理稀缺问题，所以也许没有解决方案。计算距离时我通常使用 numpy.linalg.norm (A-B)。这是否具有更好的内存处理能力？
请您参考如下方法:
更新:PR 11135应该在 scikit-learn 中解决这个问题，使帖子的其余部分过时。
你有大约 100000 = 1e5 个样本，它们是 12 维空间中的点。 pairwise_distances 方法试图计算它们之间的所有成对距离。即 (1e5)**2 = 1e10 距离。每个都是一个 float ； float64 格式占用 8 个字节的内存。所以距离矩阵的大小是 8e10 字节，也就是 74.5 GB。
这偶尔会在 GitHub 上报告:#4701 , #4197答案很粗略:这是一个 NumPy 问题，它无法处理具有该大小矩阵的 np.dot。虽然有 one comment说
it might be possible to break this up into sub-matrices to do the calculation more memory efficient.
事实上，如果不是在开始时形成一个巨大的距离矩阵，该方法会在 the loop over labels 中计算它的相关 block 。 ，这将需要更少的内存。
使用它的 source 修改方法并不难所以它不是先计算距离然后再应用二进制掩码，而是先掩码。这就是我在下面所做的。它不需要 N**2 内存，其中 N 是样本数，它需要 n**2，其中 n 是最大簇大小。
如果这看起来很实用，我想它可以通过一些标志添加到 Scikit 中……应该注意这个版本不支持 metric='precomputed'，但是.
