GraphEmbed

Compute a 2D embedding of a data matrix given supervised class information.

A discrete label for each instance is expected. A graph is built where nodes are instances and there exist two types of edges: the 'knn' edges and the 'k_shift' edges. A knn edge is an edge to the k-th nearest instance that has the same label. A k_shift edge is an edge to the k-th nearest instance that is denser and has a different label. Density is defined as the sum of the pairwise cosine similarity between an instance and all the other instances. The desired edge length is the euclidean distance between the instances. If the endpoints of an edge have the same label then the desired distance is divided by 1 + class_confidence. A k-shift edge is deleted if at least one of the endpoints is an outlier. Outlier nodes are defined as those instances that have no mutual k neighbors.

Finally the embedding is computed as the 2D coordinates of the corresponding graph embedding using the force layout algorithm from Tomihisa Kamada, and Satoru Kawai. "An algorithm for drawing general undirected graphs.", Information processing letters 31, no. 1 (1989): 7-15.

Here is a link to the interactive jupyter notebook (needs to be run locally).

Installation

GraphEmbed can be installed via PyPI:

# a non pip dependency is graphviz, you can install this e.g. via 
conda install pygraphviz
pip install graphembed

A python2 version of GraphEmbed can be installed via conda:

conda install graph_embed -c bioconda

Usage

You can execute the program by typing:

./graph_embed.py -i example/prot_expression.csv -t example/target.csv

You can change the strength of the belief in the supervised information. Values higher than 0 indicate a stronger belief and will result in more compact layouts for instances of the same class. Values of 0.5-1 are suitable for clean data where clusters are naturally well separated, values of 5-30 are suitable for noisy data where it is necessary to force a strong separation in the 2D representation.

To set a desired separation strength use -c, to specify the number of neighbors use -k:

./graph_embed -i example/prot_expression.csv -t example/target.csv -c 1.5 -k 5 -z 10 -l 0 --random_state 2 --normalization --correlation_transformation --feature_selection

Output

The option -o allows to set a directory where the produced files are placed. The directory name is suffixed with a time stamp that includes year-month-day-hour-min-sec. The following files are produced:

2D_coords.txt       The 2D coordinates, one line per instance
target.txt          The target identifier, one line per instance 
img_1_clean.pdf     The image of the 2D embedding.
img_2_edges.pdf     The image of the 2D embedding with lines in red for knn edges and lines in blue for k-shift-edges.
img_3_edge.pdf      The image of the 2D embedding with lines in blue for the first shift-edges.
