PANDA | METRIC

PANDA | METRIC is a framework for machine learning based on the concept of metric spaces, which makes it possible to use and combine arbitrary data to build models. METRIC is written in modern C++ to provide the best performance. However, due to Python bindings, you can use it directly in Python.

Here is an anomaly detection example: PCB

Intro example

#include <metric/metric.hpp>


int main()
{	
    using namespace metric;
    using namespace std;
    // some data
    vector<vector<int>> A = {
        { 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3 },
        { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 },
        { 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0 },
        { 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0 },
        { 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
        { 5, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
        { 4, 6, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0 },
    };
	
    // some other data
    deque<string> B = {
        "this",
        "test",
        "tests",
        "correlation",
        "of",
        "arbitrary",
        "data",
    };

	
    // bind the types and corresponding metrics with a constructor
    auto mgc_corr = MGC<Euclidean<vector<int>>, Edit<string>>();

    // compute the correlation
    double result = mgc_corr(A, B);

    cout << "Multi-scale graph correlation: " << result << endl;
    // 0.0791671 (Time = 7.8e-05s)
    // Rows 2 and 3 are similar in both data sets, so that there is a minimal correlation.

    return 0;
}

Short introduction

General Concept

A metric space is defined by a set of records (aka elements, observations, points etc.) and a corresponding metric, which is a distance function with special requirements that can compares records pair-wise about similarity.

Almost all algorithms of this framework operate on metric spaces. However, in most situations, it is not necessary to build such a metric space explicit.

You just need to configure the algorithm implicitly with the metric for your data.

All algorithms in the METRIC framework are designed to be used in a two-phase approach. First, the algorithm must be configured with the metric and - if also required - training data or additional parameters. After the construction, the object can be used.

using namespace metric;

using rec_t = std::vector<double>;

std::vector<rec_t> A = {
        { 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3 },
        { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 },
        { 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 0 },
        { 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0 },
        { 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
        { 5, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
        { 4, 6, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0 }}; // a set with seven records

rec_t b = { 2, 8, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // a single record.

Algorithm<Euclidean<rec_t>> algo(A,2); // configure an algorithm with euclidean metric, training data and an additional parameter

auto result1 = algo(b); // apply the default method
auto result2 = algo.estimate(b); // apply a special method

Explicit metric spaces

METRIC provides three classes to build explicit metric space (DistanceMatrix, KNNGraph and SearchTree). All classes provide the same methods, but they have different computational advantages.

DistanceMatrix<Manhatten<rec_t>> dMat(A); // build a full pair-wise representation
KNNGraph<Manhatten<rec_t> knnG(A); // build a local and sparse representation
SearchTree<Manhatten<rec_t>> sTree(A); // build a hierarchical organized tree representation

auto distance = dMat(0,3) // accessing the distance value by IDs.
auto nn_ID = sTree.nn(b); //searching for the best matching record of b in the metric space (aka next neighbor)

There are two main scenarios, where it makes sense to use explict metric spaces.

  1. When you want to find the best matching record or subsets
  2. when you want to update your metric space in realtime and want to keep the distance computations updated incrementally.

Distance functions

There is a hugh collection of distance function in METRIC available, but you can also use your own functions. The Distance functions library is organized in three groups (random, related and structured). This framework provides only real metric and pseudo-metric, (also known as semi-metrics), that fulfill the triangle inequality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_(mathematics)

Random metrics

The corresponding indices of two records are not related to each other. Also, the records can have a different sizes. This is normally the case, when the values of a record represent random observations of one dimension.

Record 1    [1.3, 7.2, 5.8, 7.3, 2.7, 5.5 ...]
Record 2    [2.1, 6.2, 1.2, 6.2, 2.5  ...]

related metrics

The values of two records are related, when the order of the indices can be changed without effecting the result of the distance computation. This is normally the case, when each index of a record represents a dimension and the value represents one observation. The dimensions are regarded as independent to each other in principle. In comparison to the random metrics, different samples are provided by the records and not by the values in one record.

Record 1    [1.3, 7.2, 5.8, 7.3, 2.7, 5.5, ...]
              |    |    |    |    |    |   
Record 2    [2.1, 6.2, 1.2, 6.2, 2.5, 4.2, ...]

k-structured metrics

When the indices in a record have a structural meaning like the bin position in a histogram or the pixel position in a picture, you normally use a structured metric. Here the known dependency of the dimension is used for better results.

Record 1    [1.3, 7.2, 5.8, 7.3, 2.7, 5.5, ...]
             |  X |  X |  X |  X | |  X |
Record 2    [2.1, 6.2, 1.2, 6.2, 2.5, 4.2, ...]

In the most case, you will configure an algorithm with a distance function, but of course you can construct and use a distance function manually.

rec_t a = { 1, 2, 5, 3, 1 };
rec_t b = { 2, 2, 1, 3, 2 };

auto distance_function = P_norm<rec_t>(1.5); //configure a Minkowski metric with p=1.5

double result = distance_function(a, b); //apply the metric

It's easy to provide and use your own metric. To do so, you have to define a struct with a methods that overloads the ()-operator, and you have to provide the inner value type as Val_T.

struct user_euclidean {
    using Val_T = double; // necessary template line.
    double operator()(std::vector<double> a, std::vector<double> b) // overload the ()-operator 
        {
        /* start of implementation */
        double sum=0;
        for (int i =0; i< a.size(); i++){
                sum += std::pow(a[i]-b[i],2);
        }
        return std::sqrt(sum);
        /* end of implementation*/
    }
};

Computing with metric spaces

Each data set to which a matching metric is assigned, is already a metric space by definition. So you don't have to compute metric spaces explicitly, and normally you can use the algorithms with common data input.

std::vector<std::string> B = {
        "this",
        "is",
        "a",
        "vector",
        "of",
        "strings"}; // a set with six records
auto entropy = Entropy<Edit<std::string>>(); //configure the entropy computation

double result = entropy(B); // compute the entropy

The meaning of entropy for a metric spaces is different from the classical shannon entropy, that is discrete. The entropy in METRIC is based on the concept of differential entropy and has the meaning of a local degree of freedom in the dataset. It can be regarded alternatively as mean intrinsic dimensionality over the space, no matter how many real dimensions are provided.

Anyway, like correlation in the intro example the entropy gives only an information about the existence of a dependencies in the data. To model this dependency you have to apply one of the provided feature extractors mechanisms.

Imaging a setting, where you take a colored 400x300 photos of a scene at random time. In this scene only a door is opened and closed in some intermediate states. All pixels can change from photo to photo, but there are actually only two independent things happening, the door opening angle and the lighting setup show variations. We call this kind of intrinsic dimensionality "features". While the original record has 4003003 = 360000 dimension, it has only 2 intrinsic dimension.

It is important to understand, that the concept of metrics space is only applicable, when the amount of recorded dimensions are highly correlated to each other and the intrinsic dimensions are not increasing with the number of records. If this is the case, the curse of dimensionality will prevent any analysis or insights. But that is not a limit of the metric space concept. It is a limit at all.

The methods to extract features are also known as dimension reduction techniques. But this name is a little misguiding, because we are not changing the recorded dimension, we are extracting only the underlying features that lead to the recorded dimensions and put them in a new metric space. Or in other word, we filter out the most important information to make further processing easier and to break down complicated dependencies to a human understanding like a 2d-information.

The most aggressive feature extractor is called clustering. Here a metric space is split into several similar groups and only a categorical liable is mapped as feature.

auto [data, lables] = loadDataSet("NYC_taxi")
auto cluster = KOC<TWED<rec_t>>(data); //configure the clustering

auto lable = cluster(data[0]); // apply the clustering to first sample

A less aggressive feature extraction is archived with a continuous mapper.

auto [data, lables] = loadDataSet("MNIST");
auto f_extractor = Autoencoder<SSIM<rec_t>>(data); //configure the clustering

auto features = f_extractor(data[0]); // apply the feature extraction to the first sample

When you find correlations between metric spaces, you can model them with continuous mappers. For example, you first extract deterministic features of a picture, then map this space to its denoised manifold and measure the distance to the manifold as outliner distance and then approximate the solution with a neural network for faster computation.

using namespace metric;
using namespace std;
using Container = std::vector;
Container<Image> data = loadDataSet("Donuts");

auto hog_extractor = HOG(data[0].width, data[0].hight); // setup histogram of oriented gradients feature extractor

Container<vector<double>> histograms = hog_extractor(data); // compute the histograms

auto outliner_model = Rediff<Euclidean<vector<double>>>(histograms); // compute the manifold of the histogram space

Container<double> outliners = outliner_model(histograms); // compute the outline distance for all images

auto model = ESN<Image,double> (data, outliners); // train an approximation model

model.save("myModel.cereal")

then load and apply the model:

auto model = ESN<Image,double>("myModel.cereal");
double outliner_score = model(Img1); // compute the outline score for an image

Why PANDA | METRIC is awesome

PANDA | METRIC extends the capabilities of machine learning algorithms for variable structured data types and enables statements to be made about the relationships between the data in the context of artificial intelligence. For this purpose, the recorded data is first modeled using a metric in a metric space. These spaces can now be related to each other and simplified without loss of information. This allows essential information to be extracted and accessible to the user. In various modules, the framework offers a collection of algorithms that are optimized for metric spaces and accessible via a standardized API.

PANDA | METRIC is located in the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence, but offers more than a loose collection of optimized and high class algorithms, because PANDA | METRIC combines these different algorithms seamless. Data Science is no magic, it is all about information theory, statistics and optimization methods and PANDA | METRIC provides all you need to generate data-driven added values. All algorithms in data science seems like a huge loosely connected family. This framework provides a universal approach that makes it easy to combine these techniques. This framework brings all these algorithms under the theory of metric spaces together and guides, how to combine them.

PANDA | METRIC is programmed in modern and template based C++, which allows a comfortable use with optimal performance at the same time. Compared to the approach of neural networks, the concept of metric spaces offers considerable advantages especially for industrial applications.

Modules Overview

PANDA | METRIC is organized in several submodules.

METRIC | DISTANCE provide an extensive collection of metrics, including factory functions for configuring complex metrics.
They are organized into several's levels of complexity and a prior knowledge about the data. Basically the user give a priori information, how the data should be connected for reason, like a picture is a 2d array of pixels. A metric type is basically a function, which compares two samples of data and gives back the numeric distance between them.

METRIC | SPACE stores and organizes distances. It provides classes to connect and relate data that are kind of the same observations in principle. And it includes basic operations such as the search for neighboring elements. If you can compare two entries all entries are automatically related through the distance-representations in a metric space.

METRIC | MAPPING contains various algorithms that can ‘calculate’ metric spaces or map them into equivalent metric spaces. In general, you can regard all the algorithms in METRIC | MAPPING as mapper from one metric space into a new one, usually with the goal to reduce complexity (like clustering or classifying) or to fill missing information (like predicting). Also values can be bidirectionally reconstructed from reduced space using reverse decoder. In addition, unwanted features can be removed from the space for further evaluation. In this way, the user brings in his a priori knowledge and understandings. on the other hand his a priori influence is visible and not causing a loss of information by an incidental programming of this knowledge.

METRIC | TRANSFORM provides deterministic algorithms that transfer data element by element into another metric space, e.g. from the time to the frequency domain. This is often useful for complexity reduction as preprocessing step. A distinction can be made between lossy compression and completely reversible methods. In general, however, these are proven, deterministic methods such as wavelets or physical motivated fittings.

METRIC | CORRELATION offers functions to calculate metric entropy, which gives a measure of intrinsic local dimensionality and the correlation of two metric spaces and thus to determine the dependency of two arbitrary data sets. When METRIC | MAPPING is used to quantify and measure relations in data, METRIC | CORRELATION is used to find relations between metric spaces at all.

METRIC | UTILS contains algorithms which are not metric either, but which can be easily combined. On the one hand, there is a high-performance in-memory crossfilter. This allows a combined filtering of the patterns from the results of the operations in quasi real time. On the other hand, the METRIC | UTILS module also contains a nonlinear and nonparametric significance test for independent features (PMQ) of a metric space that were obtained by mapping and more.
