Data-driven analysis pipeline for STEM-EELS spectra. See project at [https://zhenyuan992.github.io/eelsmapper](https://zhenyuan992.github.io/eelsmapper)

eelsmapper

eelsmapper is a data-driven pipeline for analyzing STEM-EELS spectra to perform high-resolution compositional mapping without relying on reference spectra. It integrates PCA, t-SNE (and/or UMAP), clustering, mutual information, and vector quantization to uncover subtle chemical differences and discover novel material phases. Installable with pip install eelsmapper from pypi.org eelsmapper

---

Purpose

STEM-EELS data is high-dimensional and noisy, making it challenging to interpret with traditional methods. eelsmapper offers a robust, modular pipeline for:

• Denoising spectra (PCA)
• Visualizing compositional patterns (t-SNE and/or UMAP)
• Clustering spectra (K-Means)
• Identifying correlated elemental regions (Mutual Information)
• Enhancing signal quality (Vector Quantization)
• Discovering new material phases without needing reference spectra

Installation:

pip install eelsmapper

---

Demo:

# assuming you have installed with !pip install eelsmapper
from eelsmapper.pipeline import run_pipeline
import numpy as np

data = np.load("specs.npz")["arr_0"]
data = data.reshape(-1,data.shape[-1])

run_pipeline( data )
