# Development
|
|
|
|
## Project architecture
|
|
|
|
The architecture and functions of FreqAI are generalized to encourages development of unique features, functions, models, etc.
|
|
|
|
The class structure and a detailed algorithmic overview is depicted in the following diagram:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As shown, there are three distinct objects comprising FreqAI:
|
|
|
|
* **IFreqaiModel** - A singular persistent object containing all the necessary logic to collect, store, and process data, engineer features, run training, and inference models.
|
|
* **FreqaiDataKitchen** - A non-persistent object which is created uniquely for each unique asset/model. Beyond metadata, it also contains a variety of data processing tools.
|
|
* **FreqaiDataDrawer** - A singular persistent object containing all the historical predictions, models, and save/load methods.
|
|
|
|
There are a variety of built-in [prediction models](freqai-configuration.md#using-different-prediction-models) which inherit directly from `IFreqaiModel`. Each of these models have full access to all methods in `IFreqaiModel` and can therefore override any of those functions at will. However, advanced users will likely stick to overriding `fit()`, `train()`, `predict()`, and `data_cleaning_train/predict()`.
|
|
|
|
## Data handling
|
|
|
|
FreqAI aims to organize model files, prediction data, and meta data in a way that simplifies post-processing and enhances crash resilience by automatic data reloading. The data is saved in a file structure,`user_data_dir/models/`, which contains all the data associated with the trainings and backtests. The `FreqaiDataKitchen()` relies heavily on the file structure for proper training and inferencing and should therefore not be manually modified.
|
|
|
|
### File structure
|
|
|
|
The file structure is automatically generated based on the model `identifier` set in the [config](freqai-configuration.md#setting-up-the-configuration-file). The following structure shows where the data is stored for post processing:
|
|
|
|
| Structure | Description |
|
|
|-----------|-------------|
|
|
| `config_*.json` | A copy of the model specific configuration file. |
|
|
| `historic_predictions.pkl` | A file containing all historic predictions generated during the lifetime of the `identifier` model during live deployment. `historic_predictions.pkl` is used to reload the model after a crash or a config change. A backup file is always held in case of corruption on the main file. FreqAI **automatically** detects corruption and replaces the corrupted file with the backup. |
|
|
| `pair_dictionary.json` | A file containing the training queue as well as the on disk location of the most recently trained model. |
|
|
| `sub-train-*_TIMESTAMP` | A folder containing all the files associated with a single model, such as: <br>
|
|
|| `*_metadata.json` - Metadata for the model, such as normalization max/min, expected training feature list, etc. <br>
|
|
|| `*_model.*` - The model file saved to disk for reloading from a crash. Can be `joblib` (typical boosting libs), `zip` (stable_baselines), `hd5` (keras type), etc. <br>
|
|
|| `*_pca_object.pkl` - The [Principal component analysis (PCA)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#data-dimensionality-reduction-with-principal-component-analysis) transform (if `principal_component_analysis: True` is set in the config) which will be used to transform unseen prediction features. <br>
|
|
|| `*_svm_model.pkl` - The [Support Vector Machine (SVM)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm) model (if `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers: True` is set in the config) which is used to detect outliers in unseen prediction features. <br>
|
|
|| `*_trained_df.pkl` - The dataframe containing all the training features used to train the `identifier` model. This is used for computing the [Dissimilarity Index (DI)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di) and can also be used for post-processing. <br>
|
|
|| `*_trained_dates.df.pkl` - The dates associated with the `trained_df.pkl`, which is useful for post-processing. |
|
|
|
|
The example file structure would look like this:
