Usage

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from aggmap import AggMap, AggMapNet

# Data loading
data = load_breast_cancer()
dfx = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
dfy = pd.get_dummies(pd.Series(data.target))

# AggMap object definition, fitting, and saving 
mp = AggMap(dfx, metric = 'correlation')
mp.fit(cluster_channels=5, emb_method = 'umap', verbose=0)
mp.save('agg.mp')

# AggMap visulizations: Hierarchical tree, embeddng scatter and grid
mp.plot_tree()
mp.plot_scatter(enabled_data_labels=True, radius=5)
mp.plot_grid(enabled_data_labels=True)

# Transoformation of 1d vectors to 3D Fmaps (-1, w, h, c) by AggMap
X = mp.batch_transform(dfx.values, n_jobs=4, scale_method = 'minmax')
y = dfy.values

# AggMapNet training, validation, early stopping, and saving
clf = AggMapNet.MultiClassEstimator(epochs=50, gpuid=0)
clf.fit(X, y, X_valid=None, y_valid=None)
clf.save_model('agg.model')

# Model explaination by simply-explainer: global, local
simp_explainer = AggMapNet.simply_explainer(clf, mp)
global_simp_importance = simp_explainer.global_explain(clf.X_, clf.y_)
local_simp_importance = simp_explainer.local_explain(clf.X_[[0]], clf.y_[[0]])

# Model explaination by shapley-explainer: global, local
shap_explainer = AggMapNet.shapley_explainer(clf, mp)
global_shap_importance = shap_explainer.global_explain(clf.X_)
local_shap_importance = shap_explainer.local_explain(clf.X_[[0]])

Proof-of-Concepts of reconstruction ability on MNIST Dataset

• It can reconstruct to the original image from completely randomly permuted (disrupted) MNIST data:

Org1: the original grayscale images (channel = 1), OrgRP1: the randomized images of Org1 (channel = 1), RPAgg1, 5: the reconstructed images of OrgPR1 by AggMap feature restructuring (channel = 1, 5 respectively, each color represents features of one channel). RPAgg5-tkb: the original images with the pixels divided into 5 groups according to the 5-channels of RPAgg5 and colored in the same way as RPAgg5.

The effect of the number of channels on model performance

• Multi-channel Fmaps can boost the model performance notably:

The performance of AggMapNet using different number of channels on the TCGA-T (a) and COV-D (b). For TCGA-T, ten-fold cross validation average performance, for COV-D, a fivefold cross validation was performed and repeat 5 rounds using different random seeds (total 25 training times), their average performances of the validation set were reported.
