## Scope

This project provides an efficient implementation of the text clustering algorithm "sequential Information Bottleneck" (sIB), introduced by [Slonim, Friedman and Tishby (2002)](#reference). The project is packaged as a python library with a cython-wrapped C++ extension for the partition optimization code. A pure python implementation is included as well. The implementation is documented [here](./docs/sib_implementation.pdf).


## Installation

```pip install sib-clustering```


<!-- A more detailed Usage or detailed explanation of the repository here -->
## Usage
The main class in this library is `SIB`, which implements the clustering interface of [SciKit Learn][sklearn], providing methods such as `fit()`, `fit_transform()`, `fit_predict()`, etc. 

The sample code below clusters the 18.8K documents of the 20-News-Groups dataset into 20 clusters:

```python

import numpy as np
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
from sklearn import metrics
from sib import SIB

# read the dataset
dataset = fetch_20newsgroups(subset='all', categories=None,
                             shuffle=True, random_state=256)

gold_labels = dataset.target
n_clusters = np.unique(gold_labels).shape[0]

# create count vectors using the 10K most frequent words
vectorizer = CountVectorizer(max_features=10000)
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(dataset.data)

# SIB initialization and clustering; parameters:
# perform 10 random initializations (n_init=10); the best one is returned.
# up to 15 optimization iterations in each initialization (max_iter=15)
# use all cores in the running machine for parallel execution (n_jobs=-1)
sib = SIB(n_clusters=n_clusters, random_state=128, n_init=10,
          n_jobs=-1, max_iter=15, verbose=True)
sib.fit(X)

# report standard clustering metrics
print("Homogeneity: %0.3f" % metrics.homogeneity_score(gold_labels, sib.labels_))
print("Completeness: %0.3f" % metrics.completeness_score(gold_labels, sib.labels_))
print("V-measure: %0.3f" % metrics.v_measure_score(gold_labels, sib.labels_))
print("Adjusted Rand-Index: %.3f" % metrics.adjusted_rand_score(gold_labels, sib.labels_))
```

Expected result:
```
sIB information stats on best partition:
	I(T;Y) = 0.5685, H(T) = 4.1987
	I(T;Y)/I(X;Y) = 0.1468
	H(T)/H(X) = 0.2956
Homogeneity: 0.616
Completeness: 0.633
V-measure: 0.624
Adjusted Rand-Index: 0.507
```
