Anomaly Detection with AutoEncoders in Cricket

Introduction

Throughout one of many cricket matches within the ICC World Cup T20 Championship, Rohit Sharma, Captain of Indian Cricket Staff had applauded Jasprit Bumrah as Genius Bowler. I made a decision to run a experiment and try it out utilizing information accessible publicly. Though it’s a enjoyable undertaking, I used to be pleasantly shocked by the outcomes. Allow us to get began.

Downside Definition

To do information evaluation or constructing fashions, we have to convert enterprise drawback into information drawback. How can we make our mannequin perceive which means of Genius. Effectively, Genius could be outlined as “Approach over or Head and Shoulders above the remainder”. Can we formulate this as an Anomaly detection drawback? Sure.

There are various methods to resolve Anomaly detection drawback. We’d keep on with AutoEncoders utilizing PyTorch.

We’d use publicly accessible T20 Participant Statistics from cricket information R bundle to coach our AutoEncoders mannequin. If AutoEncoders struggles to reconstruct values then Imply Sq. Error (MSE) can be excessive. MSE over a threshold can be an anomaly.

In our case, MSE for Jasprit Bumrah must be sufficiently excessive to be flagged as anomaly or Genius.

Studying Goals

• Grasp the essential structure of AutoEncoders, together with the roles of the encoder and decoder networks.
• Perceive how one can make the most of reconstruction error (Imply Squared Error) from AutoEncoders to establish anomalies.
• Be taught to preprocess information, create datasets, and arrange information loaders for coaching and testing fashions.
• Perceive the method of coaching an AutoEncoders, together with setting hyperparameters, loss capabilities, and optimizers.
• Discover real-world purposes of anomaly detection, reminiscent of buyer administration and fraud detection.

What are AutoEncoders?

AutoEncoders are composed of two networks Encoder and Decoder. Encoder receives D dimensional vector V and encodes right into a vector X of M dimension whereby M < D. Therefore, Encoder compresses our Enter. Decoder decompresses X and tries to recreate V so far as doable. Allow us to name output of Decoder as Z.

Sometimes, Decoder would in a position to recreate V for many of rows i.e for many rows Z can be nearer to V. However for sure rows, Decoder would battle to decode and distinction between Z and V can be enormous. We’d name these values Anomaly. Anomaly values often have excessive Imply Squared Error or MSE.

Actual World Purposes of AutoEncoder

Allow us to now discover actual world purposes of AutoEncoder.

Buyer Administration

Suppose a Group offers with lot of consumers and has a strategy to label Clients pretty much as good or dangerous, clear or dangerous, rich or non wealthly. Auto Encoder when skilled solely on good or clear or wealthly clients can decipher sample on these prime or perfect clients. When a brand new buyer is available in we’ve a dependable strategy to understand how completely different is the brand new buyer from perfect buyer. You might argue that it may be accomplished manually. People are restricted by quantity of variables and information they’ll deal with. Machines don’t have this limitation.

Fraud Administration

Just like above, if a group has methodology to label transactions as fraudulent or non fraudulent. We will practice our Autoencoder on Non-Fradulent transactions alone and in manufacturing environments, we’ve a dependable mechanism to understand how completely different the brand new transaction from perfect transaction.

Above shouldn’t be exhaustive checklist of utility of AutoEncoder.

Allow us to now return to our authentic drawback.

Knowledge Assortment, Cleansing and Function Engineering

 I collected T20 profession statistics information of bowlers right here.

I used R library cricketdata to obtain participant T20 Profession Statistics as python model of the identical shouldn’t be accessible so far as i do know. T20 Statistics doesn’t embrace leagues like IPL.

library(cricketdata)
# T20 Profession Knowledge
t20_career <- fetch_cricinfo("T20", "males", "Bowling",'profession')
# T20 Innings Knowledge
t20_innings <- fetch_cricinfo("T20", "males", "Bowling",'innings')

We have to be a part of each these datasets and create ultimate enter dataset for use for coaching AutoEncoders in Python. Earlier than saving the file to disk we have to think about solely Check Enjoying Nations for our Evaluation.

ultimate<-final[Country %in% c('Australia','West Indies','South Africa'
                            ,'Pakistan','Afghanistan','India'
                            ,'Sri Lanka','England','New Zealand'
                            ,'BAN')]
fwrite(ultimate,'T20_Stats_Career.txt',sep="|")

We will identify the ultimate dataset as “T20_Stats_Career.txt”.

Now we’ll use Python for our remainder of Evaluation.

import numpy as np
import torch
import torch.optim as optim
import numpy as np
import torch
import torch.optim as optim
import torch.nn as nn
from torch.utils.information import TensorDataset,DataLoader
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import random

We’ve imported all vital libraries. We’d now learn Participant’s information.

df = pd.read_csv('T20_Stats_Career.txt',sep='|')
df.head()

First 5 Rows of the dataset is given under:

For each participant, we’ve information of Variety of Innings, Overs, Maidens, Runs, Wickets, Common, Financial system and Strike Charge.

Function Engineering

I’ve added two new options:

• Maiden Share: No of Maidens / No of Overs
• Wickets Per Over:  No of Wickets / No of Overs

df['Maiden_PCT'] = df['Maidens'] / df['Overs'] * 100
df['Wickets_Per_over'] = df['Wickets'] / df['Overs']

We additionally have to drop Gamers with Variety of Innings lower than 15 in order that we use solely these gamers with ample match expertise for our Evaluation.

Practice and Check Dataset

 Practice Dataset: Practice Datasets would have T20 Statistics of gamers from nationalities apart from India.

Check Dataset: Solely Indian Gamers.

# Create Practice and Check Dataset
check = df[df['Country'] == 'India']
practice = df[df['Country'] != 'India']

We use the next options to coach our Mannequin:

• Common
• Financial system
• Strike Charge
• No of 4 Wickets
• No of 5 Wickets
• Maiden Share
• Wickets Per Over

Drop Pointless Options

options = ['Average','Economy','StrikeRate','FourWickets','FiveWickets'
,'Maiden_PCT','Wickets_Per_over']
X_train = practice[features]
X_test = check[features]
print("Variety of Gamers in Practice Dataset",X_train.form)
print("Variety of Gamers in Check Dataset",X_test.form)
X_train.head()

Knowledge Standarization

We’ve practice and check dataset. Now we have to standardize the info.

sc = StandardScaler()
sc.match(X_train)
X_train = sc.remodel(X_train)
X_test = sc.remodel(X_test)

Mannequin Coaching

We now set applicable gadget and set information loaders with batch dimension of 16.

# Create Tensor Dataset and Dataloders
gadget="cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'

torch.manual_seed(13)
x_train_tensor = torch.as_tensor(X_train).float().to(gadget)
y_train_tensor = torch.as_tensor(X_train).float().to(gadget)

x_test_tensor = torch.as_tensor(X_test).float().to(gadget)
y_test_tensor = torch.as_tensor(X_test).float().to(gadget)

train_dataset = TensorDataset(x_train_tensor,y_train_tensor)
test_dataset = TensorDataset(x_test_tensor,y_test_tensor)

train_loader = DataLoader(dataset=train_dataset,batch_size=16,shuffle=True)
test_loader = DataLoader(dataset=test_dataset,batch_size=16)

We set AutoEncoders Structure as under:

7 ->4->2->4->7.

As we’re coping with very much less information we’d construct a easy mannequin.

We use Studying Charge as 0.001 and Adam as Optimizer.

# AutoEncoder Structure

class AutoEncoder(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        tremendous(AutoEncoder,self).__init__()
        self.encoder = nn.Sequential()
        self.encoder.add_module('Hidden1',nn.Linear(7,4))
        self.encoder.add_module('Relu1',nn.ReLU())
        self.encoder.add_module('Hidden2',nn.Linear(4,2))
        
        self.decoder = nn.Sequential()
        self.decoder.add_module('Hidden3',nn.Linear(2,4))
        self.decoder.add_module('Relu2',nn.ReLU())
        self.decoder.add_module('Hidden4',nn.Linear(4,7))

    def ahead(self,x):
        encoder = self.encoder(x)
        return self.decoder(encoder)
        
    # Predict Methodology
    def predict(mannequin,x):

        mannequin.eval()
        x_tensor = torch.as_tensor(x).float()
        y_hat = mannequin(x_tensor.to(gadget))
        mannequin.practice()

        return y_hat.detach().cpu().numpy()

    # Plot Losses
     def plot_losses(train_losses,test_losses):
        fig = plt.determine(figsize=(10,4))
        plt.plot(train_losses,label="training_loss",c="b")
        #plt.plot(self.val_losses,label="val loss",c="r")
        if test_loader:
            plt.plot(test_losses,label="check loss",c="r")
        #plt.yscale('log')
        plt.xlabel('Epochs')
        plt.ylabel('Loss')
        plt.legend()
        plt.tight_layout()
        return fig

# Mannequin Loss and Optimizer
lr = 0.001
torch.manual_seed(21)
mannequin = AutoEncoder().to(gadget)
optimizer = optim.Adam(mannequin.parameters(),lr = lr)
loss_fn =nn.MSELoss()

We practice our mannequin for 250 epochs.

num_epochs=250
train_loss=[]
test_loss=[]
seed=42
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic=True
torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark=False
torch.manual_seed(seed)
np.random.seed(seed)
random.seed(seed)
for epoch in vary(num_epochs):
    mini_batch_train_loss=[]
    mini_batch_test_loss=[]
    for train_batch,y_train in train_loader:
        train_batch =train_batch.to(gadget)
        mannequin.practice()
        yhat = mannequin(train_batch)
        loss = loss_fn(yhat,y_train)
        mini_batch_train_loss.append(loss.cpu().detach().numpy())
        
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
        optimizer.zero_grad()
  
    train_epoch_loss = np.imply(mini_batch_train_loss)
    train_loss.append(train_epoch_loss)

    with torch.no_grad():
        for test_batch,y_test in test_loader:
            test_batch = test_batch.to(gadget)
            mannequin.eval()
            yhat = mannequin(test_batch)
            loss = loss_fn(yhat,y_test)
            mini_batch_test_loss.append(loss.cpu().detach().numpy())
        test_epoch_loss = np.imply(mini_batch_test_loss)
        test_loss.append(test_epoch_loss)
        
fig = plot_losses(train_loss,test_loss)
fig.savefig('Train_Test_Loss.png')

Practice and Check Loss plot seems to be OK.

Imply Squared Error (MSE)

Utilizing Predict Operate we are able to predict for Practice Dataset. We then compute Imply Squared Error by squaring distinction between Actuals and Predicted. Additionally we’ll compute Z-Rating utilizing imply and normal deviation of MSE.

# Predict Practice Dataset and get error
train_pred = predict(mannequin,X_train)
print(train_pred.form)
error = np.imply(np.energy(X_train - train_pred,2),axis=1)
print(error.form)
practice['error'] = error
mean_error = np.imply(practice['error'])
std_error =np.std(practice['error'])
practice['zscore'] = (practice['error'] - mean_error) / std_error
practice = practice.sort_values(by='error').reset_index()
practice.to_csv('Train_Output.txt',sep="|",index=None)

fig = plt.determine(figsize=(10,4))
plt.title('Distribution of MSE in Practice Dataset')
practice['error'].plot(type='line')
plt.ylabel('MSE')
plt.present()
fig.savefig('Train_MSE.png')

We will infer there may be steep enhance in MSE for sure gamers.

Majority of gamers are inside MSE of 1. Past 1.2 MSE there are solely few gamers.

Prime 3 Gamers within the practice dataset with highest MSE are:

practice.tail(3)

Please remember the fact that we’re utilizing Tail Operate

We will infer that for some gamers auto encoder struggles to reconstruct authentic values leading to excessive MSE.

By taking a look at above plots, we are able to set threshold to be 1.2.

I agree that we have to break up information into practice and validation and use information of validation dataset to set threshold. However on this case we’ve solely 200 rows. We’re compelled to take this strategy.

Check Dataset – Indian Gamers or Bowlers

Allow us to now compute Imply Squared Error and ZScore for Check Knowledge.

# Predict Check Dataset and get error
test_pred = predict(mannequin,X_test)
test_error = np.imply(np.energy(X_test - test_pred,2),axis=1)
check['error'] = test_error
check['zscore'] = (check['error'] - mean_error) / std_error
check = check.sort_values(by='error').reset_index()
check.to_csv('Test_Output.txt',sep="|",index=None)

fig = plt.determine(figsize=(10,4))
plt.title('Distribution of MSE in Check Dataset')
check['error'].plot(type='line')
plt.ylabel('MSE')
plt.present()
fig.savefig('Test_MSE.png')

Just like Practice Dataset there may be steep enhance in MSE for sure Indian Gamers.

check.tail(3)

Please remember the fact that we’re utilizing Tail Operate. Therefore Appropriate order is Kuldeep Yadav, JJ Bumrah and Harbhajan Singh.

As in practice dataset, we create a brand new column named Error in check dataset which has MSE values. Just like Practice Dataset, Autoencoder is struggling to reconstruct authentic values for some Indian Gamers.

Utilizing Practice MSE we’ve computed imply and normal deviation. For every worth in check dataset we compute Z-Rating as (check error – practice imply error) / practice error normal deviation.

We will confirm that Z-Rating for Bumrah is greater than 3 which signifies Anomaly or Genius.

MSE Breakdown or Drill Down

Allow us to now be taught in regards to the MSE breakdown for the gamers.

Jasprit Bumrah

Allow us to now, perceive why MSE is excessive for Jasprit Bumrah. MSE of Jasprit Bumrah is 1.36. Allow us to drill down additional on the MSE at variable degree to know contributing elements.

MSE is calculated as (Precise – Predicted) * (Precise – Predicted).

Please be aware that we’re coping with standardized values. Motive for the excessive MSE is generally contributed by excessive Maiden Share. This implies Bumrah can be an excellent bowler at nineteenth or twentieth over of the innings. Excessive Maiden Share would create strain on batsman which can lead to different bowlers taking wickets within the subsequent over. Please be aware that variable Maiden Share is was created by Function Engineering.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav has uncanny means of selecting up wickets which might be helpful in center overs. Auto Encoder over predicted 4 wickets variable.

Total Statistics of Prime 2 Indian Bowlers

Jasprit Bumrah has 2 variables in additional than ninetieth percentile. Kuldeep Yadav has 4 variables in additional than 99th percentile.

Hope to see Kuldeep Yadav in motion quickly.

Yow will discover full code right here.

Conclusion

AutoEncoder is a robust device in a single’s arsenal for Anomaly Detection however it isn’t the one methodology. We will additionally think about using ML algorithms like Isolation Forest or different easier strategies. Coming again to our drawback, we are able to infer that AutoEncoder is ready to accurately establish Anomalies. Hardest half in Anomaly Detection is to persuade stakeholders of the explanations of the Anomaly. Right here we computed drill down of MSE to establish causes for the Anomaly. These insights are as necessary as detecting anomaly itself. Explainable AI is necessary.
