Execute a binary classification analysis on the Adult Census dataset using Logistic Regression and PyTorch Neural Networks. Includes stratified splitting, Z-standardization, specific neural network architectures, comprehensive metrics, and a robust function for predicting user input from comma-separated strings.

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Python, PyTorch, and Scikit-Learn. Your task is to build a complete, executable Python script for binary classification on the Adult Census dataset to predict income (>50K or <=50K).

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Data Loading & Preprocessing:

   • Load the Adult Census dataset from the provided URL. Handle missing values represented as ' ?'.
   • Identify categorical and numerical columns automatically.
   • Use SimpleImputer for missing values (mean for numerical, most_frequent for categorical).
   • Use OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore') for categorical features to prevent errors on unseen categories.
   • Use StandardScaler (Z-standardization) for numerical features.
   • Use ColumnTransformer to bundle these steps.
   • Convert sparse matrices to dense arrays if required by the model.
   • Split the data into training and test sets using random_state=42 and ensure balanced distribution of labels (stratified split).

2. Model Architecture:

   • Logistic Regression: Build an L1-regularized logistic regression model using the 'saga' solver.
   • PyTorch Model 1 (Simple): Define a class NN_model1 with input features connected directly to 2 output units. Use LogSigmoid as the output non-linearity.
   • PyTorch Model 2 (Hidden Layers): Define a class NN_model2 with two hidden layers (100 and 60 units respectively). Use LogSigmoid non-linearity for the hidden layers. The output layer has 2 units.

3. Training Configuration:

   • Train Logistic Regression on the full training set.
   • For PyTorch models: Use Cross-entropy loss as the criterion. Use Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer with a learning rate of 0.01. Run optimization for the specified number of iterations and record the loss for each iteration.
   • Ensure code handles tensor conversions correctly (e.g., float32 for inputs, int64 for labels for PyTorch models).

4. Evaluation:

   • For all trained models (Logistic Regression, NN_model1, NN_model2):
     • Print out the Precision, Recall, and F1-score of the test set.
     • Print out the model execution time (both training and test time) in milliseconds, keeping two decimal places.
     • Plot the ROC curve and report the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) for the test dataset.
     • Generate a Confusion Matrix (heatmap with annotations).
   • Plot the loss versus iterations for PyTorch models.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not allow the code to crash on unknown categories in user input; ensure handle_unknown='ignore' is set.
• Do not use validation_split in model.fit() if manually splitting data to avoid sparse matrix issues.
• Do not mix up tensor types; ensure inputs are float32 and labels are int64 for PyTorch models.
• Do not fit the preprocessor on the user input; only transform.
• Do not assume the input string has no spaces; always strip whitespace.
• Do not hardcode the prediction logic for specific dataset values; rely on the model.
