giotto-tda is a high-performance topological machine learning toolbox in Python built on top of
scikit-learn and is distributed under the GNU AGPLv3 license. It is part of the Giotto
family of open-source projects.
giotto-tda is the result of a collaborative effort between L2F SA,
the Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience at EPFL,
and the Institute of Reconfigurable & Embedded Digital Systems (REDS) of HEIG-VD.
giotto-tda is distributed under the AGPLv3 license.
If you need a different distribution license, please contact the L2F team.
Please visit https://giotto-ai.github.io/gtda-docs and navigate to the version you are interested in.
The latest stable version of giotto-tda requires:
- Python (>= 3.7)
- NumPy (>= 1.19.1)
- SciPy (>= 1.5.0)
- joblib (>= 0.16.0)
- scikit-learn (>= 0.23.1)
- pyflagser (>= 0.4.3)
- python-igraph (>= 0.8.2)
- plotly (>= 4.8.2)
- ipywidgets (>= 7.5.1)
To run the examples, jupyter is required.
The simplest way to install giotto-tda is using pip
python -m pip install -U giotto-tda
If necessary, this will also automatically install all the above dependencies. Note: we recommend
upgrading pip to a recent version as the above may fail on very old versions.
Pre-release, experimental builds containing recently added features, and/or bug fixes can be installed by running
python -m pip install -U giotto-tda-nightly
The main difference between giotto-tda-nightly and the developer installation (see the section
on contributing, below) is that the former is shipped with pre-compiled wheels (similarly to the stable
release) and hence does not require any C++ dependencies. As the main library module is called gtda in
both the stable and nightly versions, giotto-tda and giotto-tda-nightly should not be installed in
the same environment.
Please consult the dedicated page
for detailed instructions on how to build giotto-tda from sources across different platforms.
We welcome new contributors of all experience levels. The Giotto
community goals are to be helpful, welcoming, and effective. To learn more about
making a contribution to giotto-tda, please consult the relevant page.
After developer installation, you can launch the test suite from outside the source directory
pytest gtda
