======
TriMap
======

TriMap is a dimensionality reduction method that uses triplet constraints
to form a low-dimensional embedding of a set of points. The triplet constraints
are of the form "point *i* is closer to point *j* than point *k*". The triplets are 
sampled from the high-dimensional representation of the points and a weighting 
scheme is used to reflect the importance of each triplet. 

TriMap provides a significantly better global view of the data than the
other dimensionality reduction methods such t-SNE, LargeVis, and UMAP. The global 
structure includes relative distances of the clusters, multiple scales in 
the data, and the existence of possible outliers. We define a global score to quantify the quality of an embedding in reflecting the global structure of the data.

CIFAR-10 dataset (test set) passed through a CNN (*n = 10,000, d = 1024*): Notice the semantic structure unveiled by TriMap.

The following implementation is in Python. Further details and more experimental results are available in the `paper <https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.00204>`_. See the `example colab <https://github.com/eamid/examples/blob/master/TriMap.ipynb>`_ for some analysis.

News!
-----------------

[Mar 16, 2022] An example colab using TriMap `JAX implementation <https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/trimap>`_ is now available at https://github.com/eamid/examples/blob/master/TriMap.ipynb. We analyze the results on S-curve, MNIST, Fashion MNIST, etc. using t-SNE, UMAP, TriMap, and PCA.

[Feb 17, 2022] A JAX implementation is now available at https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/trimap. More updates are coming soon!


-----------------
How to use TriMap
-----------------

TriMap has a transformer API similar to other sklearn libraries. To use 
TriMap with the default parameters, simply do:

.. code:: python

    import trimap
    from sklearn.datasets import load_digits

    digits = load_digits()

    embedding = trimap.TRIMAP().fit_transform(digits.data)

To find the embedding using a precomputed pairwise distance matrix D, pass D as input and set use_dist_matrix to True:

.. code:: python

    embedding = trimap.TRIMAP(use_dist_matrix=True).fit_transform(D)

You can also pass the precomputed k-nearest neighbors and their corresponding distances as a tuple (knn_nbrs, knn_distances). Note that the rows must be in order, starting from point 0 to n-1. This feature also requires X to compute the embedding

.. code:: python

    embedding = trimap.TRIMAP(knn_tuple=(knn_nbrs, knn_distances)).fit_transform(X)

To calculate the global score, do:

.. code:: python

    gs = trimap.TRIMAP(verbose=False).global_score(digits.data, embedding)
    print("global score %2.2f" % gs)


-----------------
Parameters
-----------------

The list of parameters is given blow:

 -  ``n_dims``: Number of dimensions of the embedding (default = 2)

 -  ``n_inliers``: Number of nearest neighbors for forming the nearest neighbor triplets (default = 12).

 -  ``n_outliers``: Number of outliers for forming the nearest neighbor triplets (default = 4).

 -  ``n_random``: Number of random triplets per point (default = 3).

 -  ``distance``: Distance measure ('euclidean' (default), 'manhattan', 'angular' (or 'cosine'), 'hamming')

 -  ``weight_temp``: Temperature of the logarithm applied to the weights. Larger temperatures generate more compact embeddings. weight_temp=0. corresponds to no transformation (default=0.5).

 -  ``weight_adj`` (deprecated): The value of gamma for the log-transformation (default = 500.0).

 -  ``lr``: Learning rate (default = 0.1).

 -  ``n_iters``: Number of iterations (default = 400).
 
The other parameters include:

 -  ``knn_tuple``: Use the precomputed nearest-neighbors information in form of a tuple (knn_nbrs, knn_distances) (default = None)

 -  ``use_dist_matrix``: Use the precomputed pairwise distance matrix (default = False)

 -  ``apply_pca``: Reduce the number of dimensions of the data to 100 if necessary before applying the nearest-neighbor search (default = True).

 -  ``opt_method``: Optimization method {'sd' (steepest descent), 'momentum' (GD with momentum), 'dbd' (delta-bar-delta, default)}.

 -  ``verbose``: Print the progress report (default = False).

 -  ``return_seq``: Store the intermediate results and return the results in a tensor (default = False).

An example of adjusting these parameters:

.. code:: python

    import trimap
    from sklearn.datasets import load_digits

    digits = load_digits()

    embedding = trimap.TRIMAP(n_inliers=20,
                              n_outliers=10,
                              n_random=10).fit_transform(digits.data)

The nearest-neighbor calculation is performed using  `ANNOY <https://github.com/spotify/annoy>`_.

Runtime of t-SNE, LargeVis, UMAP, and TriMap in the hh:mm:ss format on a single machine with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU and 16 GB of memory is given in the following table. We limit the runtime of each method to 12 hours. Also, UMAP runs out of memory on datasets larger than ~4M points.
