Add cuml.metrics.precision_score - #8524
Conversation
GPU precision_score closes the classification-metrics gap tracked in issue NVIDIA#1522. Following the CuPy approach endorsed on that thread, the implementation reuses the accuracy_score input-validation helpers and counts true/false positives from an on-device sparse confusion matrix, so numeric labels never leave the GPU. String and categorical labels are encoded through cudf categorical codes against the sorted union of observed labels, matching scikit-learn's ordering. The signature mirrors scikit-learn: average of None, binary, macro, micro and weighted, plus labels, pos_label, sample_weight and zero_division with matching warning text and weighted-average fallback. Divergences (no 'samples' average, no multilabel indicator input, zero_division=np.nan unsupported, nulls rejected) are documented in the docstring and each has a test.

The per-class counts were built by materializing the full
label-by-label confusion matrix on device even though only its
diagonal and the row and column sums of the selected labels are ever
read. Three weighted cupy.bincount reductions over the samples produce
identical values, so float-heavy or otherwise high-cardinality label
sets no longer allocate quadratically in the label count. The
now-unused cupyx import is dropped along with it.

squeeze() turned a (1, 1) target into a 0-d array, which broke check_consistent_length with a TypeError before scoring ran. reshape(-1) keeps one-column inputs one-dimensional for every other shape and adds a regression test covering column vectors and the single-sample case. Also document that empty targets raise ValueError here, matching scikit-learn 1.8+, while the declared minimum of 1.6 scores them; divergences from sklearn must be documented and tested.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 12 included reviews per hour; 11 remain after this review.
sklearn only validates pos_label against present labels when at least two classes are observed. With one class the default integer pos_label slipped through validation and crashed with a raw TypeError when sorted against string labels, or scored identically to zero_division in the numeric case. Short-circuit scoring up front: an absent positive label is never predicted, so return zero_division_value and raise UndefinedMetricWarning under "warn", matching sklearn's output. Also clarify that fractional float targets are rejected like continuous targets.

sklearn validates zero_division against numbers.Real, so numpy scalar integers and floats such as np.int64(0) and np.float32(1.0) are valid inputs. The isinstance((int, float)) check rejected them. Extend the check to numbers.Real and parametrize the literal test with numpy scalars.

Fixes #1522
Adds
precision_scoretocuml.metrics, closing the last major gap in classification metrics alongsideaccuracy_scoreandlog_loss. Following the approach endorsed by @dantegd in the issue thread, the implementation is pure CuPy with no new C++/CUDA kernels: labels are validated with the same helpersaccuracy_scoreuses, and the counts come from an on-device sparse confusion matrix accumulation, so scoring stays on the GPU for numeric inputs at the sizes where calling out to sklearn costs seconds.Signature matches scikit-learn:
labels,pos_label,sample_weightandzero_divisionfollow sklearn semantics, including theUndefinedMetricWarningtext and the weighted-average fallback when every support is zero.'samples'average, no multilabel indicator input,zero_division=np.nanunsupported, nulls rejected.The old CUDA attempt (#3184) predates the monorepo restructure and stalled in review in 2021; this version deliberately stays in Python so it cannot regress kernel behavior and works on any input that
accuracy_scorealready accepts.Dask:
cuml.dask.metricstoday only wrapsconfusion_matrix; other single-GPU metrics (log_loss,roc_auc_score,hinge_loss) also ship without dask wrappers, so a distributedprecision_scoreis left as a natural follow-up rather than being smuggled into this change.Test plan
