The objective of MMD-MA is to
match points coming from two different spaces in a lower dimensional space. To
this end, two sets of points are projected, from two different spaces endowed
with a positive definite kernel, to a shared Euclidean space of lower dimension
low_dim
. The mappings from high to low dimensional space are
obtained using functions belonging to the respective RKHS. To obtain the
mappings, we minimise a loss function that is composed of three terms:
- an MMD term between the low dimensional representations of the two views, which encourages them to have the same distribution. The RBF kernel is used to compute MMD.
- two non-collapsing penalty terms (corresponding to the
pen_dual
orpen_primal
functions), one for each view. These terms ensure that the low dimensional representations are mutually orthogonal, preventing collapsing. - two distortion penalties (corresponding to the
dis_dual
ordis_primal
functions), one for each view. These terms encourage the low dimensional representation to obtain the same pairwise structure as the original views.
MMD-MA can be formulated using either the primal (when we use the linear
kernel in the input spaces) or the dual problem. Each has
advantages or disadvantages depending on the input data. For each view,
when the number of features p
is larger than the number of samples n
p >> n
, then the dual formulation is beneficial in terms
of runtime and memory, while if n >> p
, the primal
formulation is favorable.
Additionally, in order to scale the computation of MMD to a large number of samples, we propose either to use the KeOps library which lets you compute large kernel operations on GPUs without memory overflow.
Installation
To install the latest release of lsmmdma, use the following command:
$ pip install lsmmdma
To install the development version, use the following command instead:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/google-research/large-scale-mmdma
Alternatively, it can be installed from sources with the following command:
$ python setup.py install
In Google Colab, use the following command:
$ !pip install lsmmdma
The KeOps library might require to be installed separately in advance, according to the given instructions.
Command line instructions
The algorithm can be run with a command line using:
python3 -m lsmmmda.main [flags]
A set of flags is available to determine the IO, the model, the hyperparameters and the seed.
Input/Output It is possible to give as input either a path and filenames pointing to the user input or to choose to generate data with the data_pipeline.generate_data function. In the case one wants to generate simulation data, the input flags are:
--data
: str, it can be either 'branch', 'triangle' or '' (default). The simulated data is described in the pydoc of data_pipeline.generate_data. '' means that simulated data is not used.--n
: int (default 300), number of samples for both views.--p
: int (default 1000), number of features for both views.
For data given by the user, the input flags are:
--input_dir
: str (default None), input directory.--input_fv
: str (default None), filename of the array (n1 x p1 or n1 x n1) that serves as first set of points.--input_sv
: str (default None), filename of the array (n2 x p2 or n2 x n2) that serves as second set of points.--rd_vec
: str (default None), filename of the vector that contains the indices of the samples from the first view that match (ground truth) the samples from the second view. This is only used at evaluation time. If--rd_vec
is not used, we assume that the samples of both views follow the same ordering.--labels_fv
: str (default None), filename of the vector that contains the labels of the samples from the first view. Must match the order of the samples ininput_fv
.--labels_sv
: str (default None), filename of the vector that contains the labels of the samples from the second view, following the same ordering.
In both cases, two other flags are also available:
--kernel
: bool (default False), whether the input data given by the user is a kernel (n x n instead of n x p). This parameter can only be set to True when--m
is 'dual'.--output_dir
: str (default None), output directory.
Model The flags allow you to choose between four algorithms, using either the 'primal' or 'dual' formulation, and using KeOps or not.
--m
: str, either 'primal' or 'dual' (default).--keops
: integer, either 1 (use keops), 0 (not not use keops) or -1 (automatic, uses keops from 4000 samples onwards) (default).--use_unbiased_mmd
: bool (default True), determines whether or not to use the unbiased version of MMD (see Gretton et al. 2012 Lemma 6).
Seeds The seed for the training phase, and for generating the data when
--data
is not '', is fixed with the flag --seed
(int, default value is 0).
If one wishes to use multipe starts when training (X seeds and selection
of the best one based on the value of the loss), it is possible to also define
the number of seeds to try with: --ns
(int, default value is 1).
Model hyperparameters Several hyperparameters ought to be fixed in advance:
--d
: int (default 5), dimension of the latent space.--init
: str (default 'uniform,0.,0.1'), initialisation for the learned parameters. It can be sampled from a 'uniform', 'normal', 'xavier_uniform' or 'xavier_normal' distributions. The parameters of the initialisation functions are passed to the same flag separated by a coma. See initializers.py and train.py.--l1
: float (default 1e-4), hyperparameter in front of both penalty terms. Note that the penalty terms are automatically scaled by 1/sqrt(p).--l2
: float (default 1e-4), hyperparameter in front of both distortion terms. Note that the distortion terms are automatically scaled by 1/(n*sqrt(p)).--lr
: float (default 1e-5), learning rate.--s
: float (default 1.0), scale parameter of the RBF kernel in MMD.
Training and evaluation Several flags structure the training loop:
--e
: int (default 5001), number of epochs for the training process.--ne
: int (default 100), regular interval at which the evaluation (call to metrics.Evaluation) is done, every 'ne' epochs. 0 means that the results are never evaluated.--nr
: int (default 100), regular interval at which the components of the loss are recorded, every 'ne' epochs. 0 means that they are never recorded. The loss is recorded every epoch nonetheless.--pca
: int (default 100), regular interval at which PCA is performed on the embeddings, every 'pca' epochs. 0 means that PCA is not used on the output.--short_eval
: bool (default True), whether or not to compute all the metrics (False) or only a set of them (True) (see metrics.py).--nn
: int (default 5), number of neighbours taken into account in the computation of the Label Transfer Accuracy metrics.
Stopping criterion Two flags enable to control the stopping criterion:
--ws
: int (default 0), window size on which the loss is averaged for the stopping criterion. If set to 0, the algorithm stops at the last epoch without loss-based stopping criterion.--threshold
: float (default 1e-3), threshold for the stopping criterion.
Timing Timing the method is possible when the flag --time
is set to True
(default False).
Examples
We show now a few examples of usage of the command line to run the algorithm. We also introduce two notebooks that display the usage of the algorithm and its runtime.
- To run the algorithm on simulated data from data_pipeline.py, a minimal set of commands is:
python3 -m lsmmdma.main --output_dir outdir \
--data branch --n 300 --p 400 \
--e 1001 --d 5 --keops False --m dual
- To run the algorithm on simulated data from data_pipeline.py, one can also choose when to record the intermediate results, to set the hyperparameters and to allow for 5 multiple starts:
python3 -m lsmmdma.main --output_dir outdir \
--data branch --n 300 --p 400 \
--seed 4 --ns 5 \
--keops False --m dual \
--e 1001 --nr 100 --ne 100 --pca 100 \
--d 5 --lr 1e-5 --l1 1e-4 --l2 1e-4 --s 1.0 --init 'uniform,0,0.1'
- To run the algorithm on user input data, in the form n_sample x p_feature.
--data
should be '' (default) and--kernel
should be False (default). The argument--keops
can be True or False,--m
can be 'dual' or 'primal'.
python3 -m lsmmdma.main --input_dir datadir --output_dir outdir \
--input_fv my_data_1 --input_sv my_data_2 --kernel False \
--seed 4 --ns 5 \
--keops True --m dual \
--e 1001 --nr 100 --ne 100 --pca 100 \
--d 5 --lr 1e-5 --l1 1e-4 --l2 1e-4 --s 1.0 --init 'uniform,0,0.1'
- To run the algorithm on user kernel data, in the form n_sample x n_sample.
--data
should be '' (default) and--kernel
should be True. The argument--keops
can be True or False,--m
can only be 'dual'.
python3 -m lsmmdma.main --input_dir datadir --output_dir outdir \
--input_fv my_data_1 --input_sv my_data_2 --kernel True \
--seed 4 --ns 5 \
--keops True --m dual \
--e 1001 --nr 100 --ne 100 --pca 100 \
--d 5 --lr 1e-5 --l1 1e-4 --l2 1e-4 --s 1.0 --init 'uniform,0,0.1'
A tutorial and a benchmark notebooks are also available in examples/.
