This is a Python 3.6 fork of mattjj/pyhsmm. It drops support for Python 2.
See also maxmouchet/pybasicbayes.
Changes:
- Drop support for Python 2 (does not depend on
future
andsix
) - Supports the latest versions of scipy
- Always use the C extensions
- Builds on Windows with MSVC
- Minor code cleanups
- Tested on Linux/macOS/Windows
Installation:
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade git https://github.com/maxmouchet/pyhsmm.git
This is a Python library for approximate unsupervised inference in Bayesian Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and explicit-duration Hidden semi-Markov Models (HSMMs), focusing on the Bayesian Nonparametric extensions, the HDP-HMM and HDP-HSMM, mostly with weak-limit approximations.
There are also some extensions:
Give this a shot:
pip install pyhsmm
You may need to install a compiler with -std=c 11
support, like gcc-4.7 or higher.
To install manually from the git repo, you'll need cython
. Then try this:
python setup.py install
It might also help to look at the travis file to see how to set up a working install from scratch.
See the examples directory.
For the Python interpreter to be able to import pyhsmm, you'll need it on your
Python path. Since the current working directory is usually included in the
Python path, you can probably run the examples from the same directory in which
you run the git clone with commands like python pyhsmm/examples/hsmm.py
. You
might also want to add pyhsmm to your global Python path (e.g. by copying it to
your site-packages directory).
Here's how to draw from the HDP-HSMM posterior over HSMMs given a sequence of
observations. (The same example, along with the code to generate the synthetic
data loaded in this example, can be found in examples/basic.py
.)
Let's say we have some 2D data in a data.txt file:
$ head -5 data.txt
-3.711962552600095444e-02 1.456401745267922598e-01
7.553818775915704942e-02 2.457422192223903679e-01
-2.465977987699214502e 00 5.537627981813508793e-01
-7.031638516485749779e-01 1.536468304146855757e-01
-9.224669847039665971e-01 3.680035337673161489e-01
In Python, we can plot the data in a 2D plot, collapsing out the time dimension:
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
data = np.loadtxt('data.txt')
plt.plot(data[:,0],data[:,1],'kx')
We can also make a plot of time versus the first principal component:
from pyhsmm.util.plot import pca_project_data
plt.plot(pca_project_data(data,1))
To learn an HSMM, we'll use pyhsmm
to create a WeakLimitHDPHSMM
instance
using some reasonable hyperparameters. We'll ask this model to infer the number
of states as well, so we'll give it an Nmax
parameter:
import pyhsmm
import pyhsmm.basic.distributions as distributions
obs_dim = 2
Nmax = 25
obs_hypparams = {'mu_0':np.zeros(obs_dim),
'sigma_0':np.eye(obs_dim),
'kappa_0':0.3,
'nu_0':obs_dim 5}
dur_hypparams = {'alpha_0':2*30,
'beta_0':2}
obs_distns = [distributions.Gaussian(**obs_hypparams) for state in range(Nmax)]
dur_distns = [distributions.PoissonDuration(**dur_hypparams) for state in range(Nmax)]
posteriormodel = pyhsmm.models.WeakLimitHDPHSMM(
alpha=6.,gamma=6., # better to sample over these; see concentration-resampling.py
init_state_concentration=6., # pretty inconsequential
obs_distns=obs_distns,
dur_distns=dur_distns)
(The first two arguments set the "new-table" proportionality constant for the
meta-Chinese Restaurant Process and the other CRPs, respectively, in the HDP
prior on transition matrices. For this example, they really don't matter at
all, but on real data it's much better to infer these parameters, as in
examples/concentration_resampling.py
.)
Then, we add the data we want to condition on:
posteriormodel.add_data(data,trunc=60)
The trunc
parameter is an optional argument that can speed up inference: it
sets a truncation limit on the maximum duration for any state. If you don't
pass in the trunc
argument, no truncation is used and all possible state
duration lengths are considered. (pyhsmm has fancier ways to speed up message
passing over durations, but they aren't documented.)
If we had multiple observation sequences to learn from, we could add them to the
model just by calling add_data()
for each observation sequence.
Now we run a resampling loop. For each iteration of the loop, all the latent variables of the model will be resampled by Gibbs sampling steps, including the transition matrix, the observation means and covariances, the duration parameters, and the hidden state sequence. We'll also copy some samples so that we can plot them.
models = []
for idx in progprint_xrange(150):
posteriormodel.resample_model()
if (idx 1) % 10 == 0:
models.append(copy.deepcopy(posteriormodel))
Now we can plot our saved samples:
fig = plt.figure()
for idx, model in enumerate(models):
plt.clf()
model.plot()
plt.gcf().suptitle('HDP-HSMM sampled after %d iterations' % (10*(idx 1)))
plt.savefig('iter_%.3d.png' % (10*(idx 1)))
I generated these data from an HSMM that looked like this:
So the posterior samples look pretty good!
A convenient shortcut to build a list of sampled models is to write
model_samples = [model.resample_and_copy() for itr in progprint_xrange(150)]
That will build a list of model objects (each of which can be inspected, plotted, pickled, etc, independently) in a way that won't duplicate data that isn't changed (like the observations or hyperparameter arrays) so that memory usage is minimized. It also minimizes file size if you save samples like
import cPickle
with open('sampled_models.pickle','w') as outfile:
cPickle.dump(model_samples,outfile,protocol=-1)
To add your own observation or duration distributions, implement the interfaces
defined in basic/abstractions.py
. To get a flavor of
the style, see pybasicbayes.
