AntiSplodge functions

class antisplodge.CelltypeDeconvolver(num_feature, num_class, number_of_layers_per_part, first_part_size, second_part_size, last_part_size, out_part_size, input_dropout, normalize_output=False)

Bases: torch.nn.modules.module.Module

A class extending the nn.Module from pytorch.

Parameters

• num_feature (int) – Number of input elements/features (usually gene-based).

• num_class (int) – Number of output elements, usually cell types or similr classes.

• number_of_layers_per_part (int) – Number of hidden layers per layer block/part.

• first_part_size (int) – Number of neurons per layer in the first block/part.

• second_part_size (int) – Number of neurons per layer in the second block/part.

• last_part_size (int) – Number of neurons per layer in the last block/part.

• out_part_size (int) – Number of neurons in the last layer immediate before the final output layer.

• input_dropout (float) – Dropout in the input layer, used to simulate spareness or missing genes during training.

• normalize_output (bool) – Normalize output by scaling each tensor to 1, directly from the model and before computing the error. This sometimes speeds up the training for datasets with low number of classes.

Get(key)

Used to retrieve members in the class’s member dictionary.

Parameters

key (str) – Key in the member dictionary.

Returns

Returns the value of the member.

Return type

Anything

Set(key, val)

Used to store members in the class’s member dictionary.

Parameters

• key (str) – Key in the member dictionary.

• val (Anything) – Value to be stored.

forward(x)

Defines the computation performed at every call.

Should be overridden by all subclasses.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.
