property config

The VisualizationConfig for the results.

property index_size

The number of active points in the index.

If use_view() has been called to restrict the index, this property will reflect the size of the active index.

property total_index_size

The total number of data points in the index.

If use_view() has been called to restrict the index, this value may be larger than the current index_size().

property missing_size

The total number of data points in view() that are missing from this index.

This property is only applicable when use_view() has been called, and it will be None if no data points are missing.

property current_points

The currently active points in the index.

If use_view() has been called, this may be a subset of the full index.

property current_sample_ids

The sample IDs of the currently active points in the index.

If use_view() has been called, this may be a subset of the full index.

property current_label_ids

The label IDs of the currently active points in the index, or None if not applicable.

If use_view() has been called, this may be a subset of the full index.

property view

The fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection against which results are currently being generated.

If use_view() has been called, this view may be different than the collection on which the full index was generated.

use_view(sample_collection, allow_missing=True, warn_missing=False)

Restricts the index to the provided view.

Subsequent calls to methods on this instance will only contain results from the specified view rather than the full index.

Use clear_view() to reset to the full index. Or, equivalently, use the context manager interface as demonstrated below to automatically reset the view when the context exits.

Example usage:

import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.brain as fob
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")

results = fob.compute_visualization(dataset)
print(results.index_size)  # 200

view = dataset.take(50)

with results.use_view(view):
    print(results.index_size)  # 50

    plot = results.visualize()
    plot.show()

Parameters

• sample_collection – a fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection

• allow_missing (True) – whether to allow the provided collection to contain data points that this index does not contain (True) or whether to raise an error in this case (False)

• warn_missing (False) – whether to log a warning if the provided collection contains data points that this index does not contain

Returns

self

clear_view()

Clears the view set by use_view(), if any.

Subsequent operations will be performed on the full index.

values(path_or_expr)

Extracts a flat list of values from the given field or expression corresponding to the current view().

This method always returns values in the same order as current_points(), current_sample_ids(), and current_label_ids().

Parameters

path_or_expr –

the values to extract, which can be:

• the name of a sample field or embedded.field.name from which to extract numeric or string values

• a fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression defining numeric or string values to compute via fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.values()

Returns

a list of values

visualize(labels=None, sizes=None, classes=None, backend='plotly', **kwargs)

Generates an interactive scatterplot of the visualization results for the current view().

This method supports 2D or 3D visualizations, but interactive point selection is only available in 2D.

You can use the labels parameters to define a coloring for the points, and you can use the sizes parameter to scale the sizes of the points.

You can attach plots generated by this method to an App session via its fiftyone.core.session.Session.plots attribute, which will automatically sync the session’s view with the currently selected points in the plot.

• patches_field (None) – the sample field defining the patches being analyzed, if any

• min_dist (0.1) – the effective minimum distance between embedded points. This controls how tightly the embedding is allowed compress points together. Larger values ensure embedded points are more evenly distributed, while smaller values allow the algorithm to optimise more accurately with regard to local structure.

class fiftyone.brain.visualization.TSNEVisualizationConfig(embeddings_field=None, model=None, patches_field=None, num_dims=2, pca_dims=50, svd_solver='randomized', metric='euclidean', perplexity=30.0, learning_rate=200.0, max_iters=1000, seed=None, verbose=True, **kwargs)

Bases: fiftyone.brain.visualization.VisualizationConfig

Configuration for t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) visualization.

See https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.manifold.TSNE.html for more information about the supported parameters.

Parameters

• embeddings_field (None) – the sample field containing the embeddings, if one was provided

• model (None) – the fiftyone.core.models.Model or name of the zoo model that was used to compute embeddings, if known

• patches_field (None) – the sample field defining the patches being analyzed, if any

• num_dims (2) – the dimension of the visualization space

• pca_dims (50) – the number of PCA dimensions to compute prior to running t-SNE. It is highly recommended to reduce the number of dimensions to a reasonable number (e.g. 50) before running t-SNE, as this will suppress some noise and speed up the computation of pairwise distances between samples

• svd_solver ("randomized") – the SVD solver to use when performing PCA. Consult the sklearn docmentation for details

• metric ("euclidean") – the metric to use when calculating distance between embeddings. Must be a supported value for the metric argument of scipy.spatial.distance.pdist

• perplexity (30.0) – the perplexity to use. Perplexity is related to the number of nearest neighbors that is used in other manifold learning algorithms. Larger datasets usually require a larger perplexity. Typical values are in [5, 50]

• learning_rate (200.0) – the learning rate to use. Typical values are in [10, 1000]. If the learning rate is too high, the data may look like a ball with any point approximately equidistant from its nearest neighbours. If the learning rate is too low, most points may look compressed in a dense cloud with few outliers. If the cost function gets stuck in a bad local minimum increasing the learning rate may help

• max_iters (1000) – the maximum number of iterations to run. Should be at least 250

• seed (None) – a random seed

• verbose (True) – whether to log progress
