ParaDime: A Framework for Parametric Dimensionality Reduction
=============================================================

|ReadTheDocs Badge|  |License Badge|  |PyPi Badge|  |Black Badge|

ParaDime is a modular framework for specifying and training parametric dimensionality reduction (DR) models. These models allow you to add new data points to existing low-dimensional representations of high-dimensional data. ParaDime DR models are constructed from simple building blocks (such as the relations between data points), so that experimentation with novel DR techniques becomes easy.

Installation
============

ParaDime is available via PyPi through:

.. code-block:: text

    pip install paradime

ParaDime requires `Numpy <https://numpy.org/>`_, `SciPy <https://scipy.org/>`_, `scikit-learn <https://scikit-learn.org/>`_, and `PyNNDescent <https://github.com/lmcinnes/pynndescent>`_  (see |req text|_ file), all of which are installed auomatically when installing ParaDime.

ParaDime also requires `PyTorch <https://pytorch.org/>`_, which must be installed separately. If you want to train ParaDime routines on the GPU, make sure to install CUDA along with the correct ``cudatoolkit`` version. See the `PyTorch docs <https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/>`_ for detailed installation info.

If you want to use ParaDime's plotting utilities, `Matplotlib <https://matplotlib.org/>`_ has to be installed additionally.

Documentation
=============

For a simple example with one of the predefined ParaDime routines, see `Simple Usage <https://paradime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/simple_usage.html>`_ in the documentation.

More detailed information about how to set up cusom routines can be found in `Building Blocks of a ParaDime Routine <https://paradime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/building_blocks.html>`_.

For additional examples of varying complexity, see `Examples <https://paradime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html>`_.
