TopoEmbedX 0.3.0

Representation Learning on Topological Domains

Main Features • Installing TopoEmbedX • Getting Started • References

Many natural systems as diverse as social networks and proteins are characterized by relational structure. This is the structure of interactions between components in the system, such as social interactions between individuals or electrostatic interactions between atoms.

How can we conveniently represent data defined on such relational systems?

TopoEmbedX (TEX) is a package for representation learning on topological domains, the mathematical structures of relational systems. TopoEmbedX is a part of TopoX.

🛠️ Main Features

Support of higher order representation learning algorithms such as:

• DeepCell,
• Cell2Vec,
• Higher Order Laplacian Eigenmaps, and
• Higher Order Geometric Laplacian Eigenmaps

for the topological domains supported in TopoNetX.

🤖 Installing TopoEmbedX

TopoEmbedX is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip.

pip install "pygsp @ git+https://github.com/epfl-lts2/pygsp@643b1c448559da8c7dbaed7537a9fd819183c569"
pip install "karateclub @ git+https://github.com/pyt-team/karateclub@master"
pip install topoembedx

The library depends on pygsp and karateclub, which did not receive updates on PyPI for a long time. You have to manually install the latest versions from GitHub for up-to-date Python and NetworkX compatibility.

🦾 Getting Started

import topoembedx as tex
import toponetx as tnx

# create a cell complex object with a few cells
cc = tnx.CellComplex([[1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]], ranks=2)

# create a model
model = tex.Cell2Vec()

# fit the model
model.fit(cc, neighborhood_type="adj", neighborhood_dim={"rank": 1, "via_rank": -1})
# here neighborhood_dim={"rank": 1, "via_rank": -1} specifies the dimension for
# which the cell embeddings are going to be computed.
# rank=1 means that the embeddings will be computed for the first dimension.
# The integer 'via_rank' is ignored and only considered
# when the input complex is a combinatorial complex or colored hypergraph.


# get the embeddings:
embeddings = model.get_embedding()

🧑‍💻 Install from source

To install the latest version from source, follow these steps:

1. Clone a copy of TopoEmbedX from source:

git clone https://github.com/pyt-team/TopoEmbedX
cd TopoEmbedX

2. Install a recent version of pygsp and karateclub using a package manager of your choice, e.g., pip:

pip install "pygsp @ git+https://github.com/epfl-lts2/pygsp@643b1c448559da8c7dbaed7537a9fd819183c569"
pip install "karateclub @ git+https://github.com/pyt-team/karateclub@master"

3. Install TopoEmbedX in editable mode with development dependencies:

pip install -e . --group dev

4. Install pre-commit hooks:

pre-commit install
