Simple Self-Organizing Maps (SimpSOM) is a lightweight Python 3 library to train SOM. It offers an efficient way of training SOM in Python while keeping its implementation simple and easy to read.
Version 3 is a rewriting focusing on performance.
simpsom can be downloaded from PyPI with
pip install simpsom
To install the latest (unreleased) version you can download it from this repository by running
git clone https://github.com/fcomitani/simpsom
cd simpsom
python setup.py install
Core dependencies:
- numpy
- scikit-learn
- matplotlib
If available, CuPy can be used to run simpsom on the GPU.
CuML is also optional, but will allow you
to run clustering on the GPU as well.
For a full list see requirements.txt
Running simpsom is easy. After setting up a network by providing size and tiling style,
train it with the train method.
import simpsom as sps
net = sps.SOMNet(20, 20, data, topology='hexagonal',
init='PCA', metric='cosine',
neighborhood_fun='gaussian', PBC=True,
random_seed=32, GPU=False, CUML=False,
output_path="./")
net.train(train_algo='batch', start_learning_rate=0.01, epochs=-1,
batch_size=-1)
The trained map can be saved to disk.
net.save_map("./trained_som.npy")
The results can be inspected with a variety of plotting functions.
net.plot_map_by_difference(show=True, print_out=True)
net.plot_projected_points(projected_data, color_val=[n.difference for n in net.nodes_list],
project=False, jitter=False,
show=True, print_out=False)
