MCML
MCML is a toolkit for semi-supervised dimensionality reduction and quantitative analysis of Multi-Class, Multi-Label data. We demonstrate its use for single-cell datasets though the method can use any matrix as input.
MCML modules include the MCML and bMCML algorithms for dimensionality reduction, and MCML tools include functions for quantitative analysis of inter- and intra- distances between labeled groups and nearest neighbor metrics in the latent or ambient space. The modules are autoencoder-based neural networks with label-aware cost functions for weight optimization.
Briefly, MCML adapts the Neighborhood Component Analysis algorithm to utilize mutliple classes of labels for each observation (cell) to embed observations of the same labels close to each other. This essentially optimizes the latent space for k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classification.
bMCML demonstrates targeted reconstruction error, which optimizes for recapitulation of intra-label distances (the pairwise distances between cells within the same label).
tools include functions for inter- and intra-label distance calculations as well as metrics on the labels of n the k nearest neighbors of each observation. These can be performed on any latent or ambient space (matrix) input.
Requirements
You need Python 3.6 or later to run MCML. You can have multiple Python versions (2.x and 3.x) installed on the same system without problems.
In Ubuntu, Mint and Debian you can install Python 3 like this:
$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
For other Linux distributions, macOS and Windows, packages are available at
Quick start
MCML can be installed using pip:
$ python3 -m pip install -U MCML
If you want to run the latest version of the code, you can install from git:
$ python3 -m pip install -U git+git://github.com/pachterlab/MCML.git
Examples
Example data download:
$ wget --quiet https://caltech.box.com/shared/static/i66kelel9ouep3yw8bn2duudkqey190j
$ mv i66kelel9ouep3yw8bn2duudkqey190j mat.mtx
$ wget --quiet https://caltech.box.com/shared/static/dcmr36vmsxgcwneh0attqt0z6qm6vpg6
$ mv dcmr36vmsxgcwneh0attqt0z6qm6vpg6 metadata.csv
Extract matrix (obs x features) and labels for each obs:
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> import scipy.io as sio
>>> import numpy as np
>>> mat = sio.mmread('mat.mtx') #Is a centered and scaled matrix (scaling input is optional)
>>> mat.shape

>>> meta = pd.read_csv('metadata.csv')
>>> meta.head()

To run the MCML algorithm for dimensionality reduction (Python 3):
>>> from MCML.modules import MCML, bMCML
>>> mcml = MCML(n_latent = 50, epochs = 100) #Initialize MCML class
>>> latentMCML = mcml.fit(mat, np.array([cellTypes,sexLabels]) , fracNCA = 0.8 , silent = True) #Run MCML
>>> latentMCML.shape
(3850, 50)
This incorporates both the cell type and sex labels into the latent space construction. Use plotLosses() to view the loss function components over the training epochs.
>>> mcml.plotLosses(figsize=(10,3),axisFontSize=10,tickFontSize=8) #Plot loss over epochs
To run the bMCML algorithm for dimensionality reduction (Python 3):
>>> bmcml = bMCML(n_latent = 50, epochs = 100) #Initialize bMCML class
>>> latentbMCML = bmcml.fit(mat, np.array(cellTypes), np.array(sexLabels), silent=True) #Run bMCML
>>> latentbMCML.shape
(3850, 50)
>>> bmcml.plotLosses(figsize=(10,3),axisFontSize=10,tickFontSize=8) #Plot loss over epochs
bMCML is optimizing for the intra-distances of the sex labels i.e. the pairwise distances of cells in each sex for each cell type.
For both bMCML and MCML objects, fit() can be replaced with trainTest() to train the algorithms on a subset of the full data and apply the learned weights to the remaining test data. This offers a method assessing overfitting.
To use the metrics available in tools:
>>> from MCML import tools as tl
#Pairwise distances between centroids of cells in each label
>>> cDists = tl.getCentroidDists(mat, np.array(cellTypes))
>>> len(cDists)
784
#Avg pairwise distances between cells of *both* sexes, for each cell type
>>> interDists = tl.getInterVar(mat, np.array(cellTypes), np.array(sexLabels))
>>> len(interDists)
27
#Avg pairwise distances between cells of the *same* sex, for each cell type
>>> intraDists = tl.getIntraVar(mat, np.array(cellTypes), np.array(sexLabels))
>>> len(intraDists)
53
#Fraction of neighbors for each cell with same label as cell itself (also returns which labels neighbors have)
>>> neighbor_fracs, which_labels = tl.frac_unique_neighbors(mat, np.array(cellTypes), metric = 1,neighbors = 30)
#Get nearest neighbors for any embedding
>>> orig_neigh = tl.getNeighbors(mat, n_neigh = 15, p=1)
>>> latent_neigh = tl.getNeighbors(latentMCML, n_neigh = 15, p=1)
#Get Jaccard distance between latent and ambient nearest neighbors
>>> jac_dists = tl.getJaccard(orig_neigh, latent_neigh)
>>>len(jac_dists)
