You can find versions of packages with which compatibility is guaranteed by CI tests here. Other versions can also be supported but they are untested.
Classification Output
Linear / Linear SVM / Kernel SVM
Binary
Scalar value; signed distance of the sample to the hyperplane for the second class.
Multiclass
Vector value; signed distance of the sample to the hyperplane per each class.
Comment
The output is consistent with the output of LinearClassifierMixin.decision_function.
SVM
Outlier detection
Scalar value; signed distance of the sample to the separating hyperplane: positive for an inlier and negative for an outlier.
Binary
Scalar value; signed distance of the sample to the hyperplane for the second class.
Multiclass
Vector value; one-vs-one score for each class, shape (n_samples, n_classes * (n_classes-1) / 2).
Comment
The output is consistent with the output of BaseSVC.decision_function when the decision_function_shape is set to ovo.
Tree / Random Forest / Boosting
Binary
Vector value; class probabilities.
Multiclass
Vector value; class probabilities.
Comment
The output is consistent with the output of the predict_proba method of DecisionTreeClassifier / ExtraTreeClassifier / ExtraTreesClassifier / RandomForestClassifier / XGBRFClassifier / XGBClassifier / LGBMClassifier.
Usage
Here's a simple example of how a linear model trained in Python environment can be represented in Java code:
from sklearn.datasets import load_diabetes
from sklearn import linear_model
import m2cgen as m2c
X, y = load_diabetes(return_X_y=True)
estimator = linear_model.LinearRegression()
estimator.fit(X, y)
code = m2c.export_to_java(estimator)
Generated Java code:
public class Model {
public static double score(double[] input) {
return ((((((((((152.1334841628965) + ((input[0]) * (-10.012197817470472))) + ((input[1]) * (-239.81908936565458))) + ((input[2]) * (519.8397867901342))) + ((input[3]) * (324.39042768937657))) + ((input[4]) * (-792.1841616283054))) + ((input[5]) * (476.74583782366153))) + ((input[6]) * (101.04457032134408))) + ((input[7]) * (177.06417623225025))) + ((input[8]) * (751.2793210873945))) + ((input[9]) * (67.62538639104406));
}
}

CLI
m2cgen can be used as a CLI tool to generate code using serialized model objects (pickle protocol):
$ m2cgen <pickle_file> --language <language> [--indent <indent>] [--function_name <function_name>]
[--class_name <class_name>] [--module_name <module_name>] [--package_name <package_name>]
[--namespace <namespace>] [--recursion-limit <recursion_limit>]
Don't forget that for unpickling serialized model objects their classes must be defined in the top level of an importable module in the unpickling environment.
Piping is also supported:
$ cat <pickle_file> | m2cgen --language <language>
FAQ
Q: Generation fails with RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded error.
A: If this error occurs while generating code using an ensemble model, try to reduce the number of trained estimators within that model. Alternatively you can increase the maximum recursion depth with sys.setrecursionlimit(<new_depth>).
Q: Generation fails with ImportError: No module named <module_name_here> error while transpiling model from a serialized model object.
A: This error indicates that pickle protocol cannot deserialize model object. For unpickling serialized model objects, it is required that their classes must be defined in the top level of an importable module in the unpickling environment. So installation of package which provided model's class definition should solve the problem.
Q: Generated by m2cgen code provides different results for some inputs compared to original Python model from which the code were obtained.
A: Some models force input data to be particular type during prediction phase in their native Python libraries. Currently, m2cgen works only with float64 (double) data type. You can try to cast your input data to another type manually and check results again. Also, some small differences can happen due to specific implementation of floating-point arithmetic in a target language.
