laplaciannb 0.7.0.dev202508181649

**LaplacianNB** is a Python module developed at **Novartis AG** for Naive Bayes classifier for laplacian modified models based on scikit-learn Naive Bayes implementation.

LaplacianNB

Naive Bayes classifier for Laplacian-modified models
Efficient, scikit-learn compatible, and designed for binary/boolean data

LaplacianNB is a Python module developed at Novartis AG for a Naive Bayes classifier for Laplacian-modified models, based on the scikit-learn Naive Bayes implementation.

This classifier is ideal for binary/boolean data, using only the indices of positive bits for efficient prediction. The algorithm was first implemented in Pipeline Pilot and KNIME.

The package includes both a modern sklearn-compatible implementation (recommended) and a legacy version for backward compatibility.

Quick Start

Recommended Usage (Modern sklearn-compatible API)

import numpy as np
from laplaciannb import LaplacianNB
from laplaciannb.fingerprint_utils import convert_fingerprints

# Convert fingerprint data to sklearn format
fingerprints = [
    {1, 5, 10, 15},      # Fingerprint as set of bit indices
    {2, 6, 11, 16},      # Each set represents active bits
    {1, 3, 7, 12}
]
X = convert_fingerprints(fingerprints, n_bits=20)
y = [0, 1, 0]

# Train and predict
clf = LaplacianNB(alpha=1.0)
clf.fit(X, y)
predictions = clf.predict(X)
probabilities = clf.predict_proba(X)

sklearn Ecosystem Integration

from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV, cross_val_score
from laplaciannb import LaplacianNB, FingerprintTransformer

# Create pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline([
    ('fingerprints', FingerprintTransformer(n_bits=2048)),
    ('classifier', LaplacianNB())
])

# Grid search
param_grid = {
    'classifier__alpha': [0.1, 1.0, 10.0],
    'fingerprints__output_format': ['csr', 'dense']
}
grid_search = GridSearchCV(pipeline, param_grid, cv=5)
grid_search.fit(fingerprints, y)

# Cross-validation
cv_scores = cross_val_score(pipeline, fingerprints, y, cv=5)

Legacy Usage (Deprecated)

⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE: The legacy API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please migrate to the modern sklearn-compatible API above.

# For backward compatibility only - will show deprecation warnings
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=FutureWarning)

from laplaciannb.legacy import LaplacianNB as LegacyLaplacianNB

# Legacy format (sets of bit indices)
X_sets = np.array([{1, 5, 10}, {2, 6, 11}, {1, 3, 7}], dtype=object)
y = [0, 1, 0]

clf = LegacyLaplacianNB(alpha=1.0)
clf.fit(X_sets, y)
predictions = clf.predict(X_sets)

---

Migration Guide

Migrating from legacy to modern implementation is easy:

1. Update imports:

   # Before (deprecated)
   from laplaciannb.legacy import LaplacianNB
   
   # After (recommended)
   from laplaciannb import LaplacianNB
   from laplaciannb.fingerprint_utils import convert_fingerprints
   

2. Convert input data:

   # Convert fingerprint sets to sklearn format
   X = convert_fingerprints(your_fingerprint_sets, n_bits=your_size)
   

3. Same API for basic usage:

   clf = LaplacianNB(alpha=1.0)
   clf.fit(X, y)
   predictions = clf.predict(X)

Basic Usage with LaplacianNB

import numpy as np
from laplaciannb import LaplacianNB

# Create sample data (sets of positive bit indices)
X = np.array([
    {1, 5, 10, 15},      # Sample 1: bits 1,5,10,15 are on
    {2, 6, 11, 16},      # Sample 2: bits 2,6,11,16 are on
    {1, 3, 7, 12},       # Sample 3: bits 1,3,7,12 are on
], dtype=object)
y = np.array([0, 1, 0])  # Class labels

# Train the classifier
clf = LaplacianNB()
clf.fit(X, y)

# Make predictions
predictions = clf.predict(X)
probabilities = clf.predict_proba(X)

RDKit Fingerprint Integration

from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import AllChem
from laplaciannb import LaplacianNB, convert_fingerprints

# Generate molecular fingerprints
molecules = [Chem.MolFromSmiles(smi) for smi in ['CCO', 'CC', 'CCC']]
fingerprints = [AllChem.GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect(mol, 2) for mol in molecules]

# Convert to sklearn-compatible format
X = convert_fingerprints(fingerprints, output_format='csr')
y = [0, 1, 0]

# Train classifier
clf = LaplacianNB()
clf.fit(X, y)

Advanced Fingerprint Conversion

from laplaciannb import RDKitFingerprintConverter

# Create converter with custom settings
converter = RDKitFingerprintConverter(
    n_bits=2048,
    output_format='auto',  # Automatically choose sparse/dense
    dtype=np.float32
)

# Convert fingerprints
X_dense = converter.to_dense(fingerprints)
X_sparse = converter.to_csr(fingerprints)

# Get statistics
stats = converter.get_statistics(fingerprints)
print(f"Sparsity: {stats['sparsity']:.2%}")
print(f"Average on-bits: {stats['avg_on_bits']:.1f}")
