Fast domain adaptation for genomic data

wenda_gpu: fast domain adaptation for genomic data

Overview

Domain adaptation allows for development of predictive models even in cases with limited or unlabeled sample data, by developing predictors for the data of interest (target data) using labeled data from a similar distribution (source data). This repo is a fast implementation of one domain adaptation method, weighted elastic net domain adaptation, or wenda. It leverages the complex interactions between biological features (such as genes) to optimize a model’s predictive power on both source and target datasets.

Installation

This package can be installed using pip:

pip install wenda_gpu

Alternatively, you can install the latest development version directly from this GitHub repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/greenelab/wenda_gpu

Usage

The most basic usage of wenda is this:

from wenda_gpu import wenda_gpu as wg

source_data, target_data = wg.load_data(prefix="sample")
source_data_normed, target_data_normed = wg.normalize_data(source_data, target_data)
wg.train_feature_models(source_data_normed, target_data_normed, prefix="sample")
source_y = wg.load_labels(prefix="sample")
wg.train_elastic_net(source_data_normed, source_y, target_data_normed, prefix="sample")

For a step-by-step tutorial in running wenda_gpu, consult wenda_gpu_quick_usage.ipynb in the example folder.

Directory structure

By default, wenda_gpu implements the following structure in your working directory:

working_directory
    ├── data
    │   └── prefix
    │       ├── source_data.tsv
    │       ├── source_y.tsv
    │       └── target_data.tsv
    ├── feature_models
    │   └── prefix
    │       ├── model_0.pth
    │       ├── model_1.pth
    │       └── ...
    ├── confidences
    │   └── prefix
    │       ├── confidences.tsv
    │       ├── model_0_confidence.txt
    │       ├── model_1_confidence.txt
    │       └── ...   
    └── output
        └── prefix
            ├── k_00
            │   ├── target_predictions.txt
            │   └── target_probabilities.txt
            ├── k_01
            │   ├── target_predictions.txt
            │   └── target_probabilities.txt
            └── ...

"prefix" is intended to be a unique identifier for your dataset, which allows you to run wenda_gpu on multiple datasets and have them nested within the same directory structure.

The user will need to create the files under the data directory, containing the feature information for both source and target datasets and the labels for the source data. Data can be loaded from a different source, for an example consult wenda_gpu_quick_usage.ipynb. The files under the feature_models, confidences, and output directories will be automatically created by wenda_gpu. If you want intermediate files and output in a different location than inside your working directory, you can specify your own paths using the path arguments in the related functions, e.g.

wg.train_feature_models(source_data_normed, target_data_normed, prefix="sample", feature_model_path="~/wenda_gpu_run/feature_models", confidence_path="~/wenda_gpu_run/confidences")
