PYSOMAP - web.vscht.cz/spiwokv/pysomap/ - July 2007

pysomap
Pysomap is python library for application of isometric feature mapping (Isomap) algorithm [Tenenbaum, de Silva, Langford (2000) Science 290, 2319.] using python. It does not have any graphical user interface.

DOWNLOAD
pysomap-July2007.tar.gz (0.2 MB).

INSTALATION
For Pysomap you need python (version 2.4.3 tested) and numpy (version 1.0.1 tested). Additional implementation of Floyd's algorithm is coded in C using SWIG (version 1.3.29). To compile this code on your platform you need SWIG and GNU C compiler. Other compilers were not tested.

Uncompress the file:
[unix]$ tar xzf pysomap-July2007.tar.gz

If you are using Red Hat or Fedora Core Linux you can use pre-compiled library for Floyd's algorythm. In some Linux installations (with SELinux) you can get an error message like: "cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied" when importing this library. This can be fixed by typing:
[unix]$ chcon -t textrel_shlib_t _floyd.so

You can also compile this library by typing:
[unix]$ ./build_floyd.sh

Similarly to using the pre-compiled library, it might be necessary to type:
[unix]$ chcon -t textrel_shlib_t _floyd.so

You can store isomap files in your working directory or you can add this directory to PYTHONPATH.

USING
Example: 
#!/bin/env python

form pysomap import *

data = open("data", "r").readlines()
smatrix = []
for line in data:
  sline = str.split(line)
  aline=[]
  for item in sline:
    aline.append(float(item))
  smatrix.append(aline)
M = numpy.array(smatrix)

A = isodata()                                 # creates a new object A
A.load_isodata(M)                             # loads python array X (N x M) into object A
A.reduce_isodata(isomap_type="e", e=0.5, O=2) # performs dimensionality reduction of A
                                              #   isomap_type is "e" or "K" for ε-
                                              #      or K-isomap, respectively
                                              #   epsilon or K value must be set
                                              #   O is output dimensionality

results = open("results", "w")
for line in A.outdata():
  for item in line:
    results.write("  %f" % item)
  results.write("\n")
results.close()
