KeplerMapper

Nature uses as little as possible of anything. - Johannes Kepler

This is a Python implementation of the TDA Mapper algorithm for visualization of high-dimensional data. For complete documentation, see https://kepler-mapper.scikit-tda.org.

KeplerMapper employs approaches based on the Mapper algorithm (Singh et al.) as first described in the paper "Topological Methods for the Analysis of High Dimensional Data Sets and 3D Object Recognition".

KeplerMapper can make use of Scikit-Learn API compatible cluster and scaling algorithms.

Install

Dependencies

KeplerMapper requires:

  • Python (>= 3.6)
  • NumPy
  • Scikit-learn
Using the plotly visualizations requires a few extra libraries:
  • igraph
  • Plotly
  • Ipywidgets
Additionally, running some of the examples requires:
  • matplotlib
  • umap-learn

Installation

Install KeplerMapper with pip:

pip install kmapper

To install from source:

git clone https://github.com/MLWave/kepler-mapper
cd kepler-mapper
pip install -e .

Usage

KeplerMapper adopts the scikit-learn API as much as possible, so it should feel very familiar to anyone who has used these libraries.

Python code

# Import the class
import kmapper as km

Some sample data

from sklearn import datasets data, labels = datasets.makecircles(nsamples=5000, noise=0.03, factor=0.3)

Initialize

mapper = km.KeplerMapper(verbose=1)

Fit to and transform the data

projecteddata = mapper.fittransform(data, projection=[0,1]) # X-Y axis

Create dictionary called 'graph' with nodes, edges and meta-information

graph = mapper.map(projecteddata, data, cover=km.Cover(ncubes=10))

Visualize it

mapper.visualize(graph, pathhtml="makecircleskeplermapperoutput.html", title="makecircles(nsamples=5000, noise=0.03, factor=0.3)")
