PyTorch Datasets and DataLoaders

Key module: torch.utils.data.Dataset

The Dataset module is an overwritable python module. You can modify it at will as long as you maintain the following three class methods:

1. __init__
2. __len__
3. __getitem__

These are name-specific handles used by torch under the hood when passing data through a model.

from torch.utils.data import Dataset

class TurtleData(Dataset):
    def __init__(self):
        """
        here we should pass requisite arguments
        that enable __len__() and __getitem__()
        """
        
    def __len__(self):
        """
        Returns the length/size/# of samples in the dataset.
        e.g., a 20,000 cell dataset would return `20_000`.
        """
        return # len
    
    def __getitem__(self, idx):
        """
        Subset and return a batch of the data.
        
        `idx` is the batch index (# of idx values = batch size). 
        Maximum `idx` passed is <= `self.__len__()`
        """
        return # sampled data

Key module: torch.utils.data.DataLoader

Similar to the usefulness of AnnData, the Dataset module creates a base unit for distributing and handling data. We can then take advantage of several torch built-ins to enable not only more organized, but faster data processing.

from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

dataset = TurtleData()
data_size = dataset.__len__()
print(data_size)

20_000

Other essential functions

from torch.utils.data import random_split

train_dataset, val_dataset = random_split(dataset, [18_000, 2_000])

# this can then be fed to a DataLoader, as above
train_loader = DataLoader(train_dataset)
val_loader = DataLoader(val_dataset)

Single-cell data structures meet pytorch: torch-adata

Create pytorch Datasets from AnnData

Installation

• Note: This is already done for you, if you've installed this tutorials associated package

pip install torch-adata

Example use of the base class

The base class, AnnDataset is a subclass of the widely-used torch.utils.data.Dataset.

import anndata as a
import torch_adata

adata = a.read_h5ad("/path/to/data.h5ad")
dataset = torch_adata.AnnDataset(adata)

Returns sampled data X_batch as a torch.Tensor.

# create a dummy index
idx = np.random.choice(range(dataset.__len__()), 5)
X_batch = dataset.__getitem__(idx)

TimeResolvedAnnDataset

Specialized class for time-resolved datasets. A subclass of the class, AnnDataset.

import anndata as a
import torch_adata as ta

adata = a.read_h5ad("/path/to/data.h5ad")
dataset = torch_adata.TimeResolvedAnnDataset(adata, time_key="Time point")

Lightning basics and the LightningModule

                 net,
                 optimizer_kwargs={"lr":1e-3},

LightningDataModule

Purpose: Make your model independent of a given dataset, while at the same time making your dataset reproducible and perhaps just as important: easily shareable.

from pytorch_lightning import LightningDataModule
from torch.data.utils import DataLoader

class YourDataModule(LightningDataModule):
    
    def __init__(self):
        # define any setup computations
        
    def prepare_data(self):        
        # download data if applicable
        
    def setup(self, stage):
        # assign data to `Dataset`(s)
        
    def train_dataloader(self):
        return DataLoader(self.train_dataset, batch_size=self.batch_size, num_workers=self.num_workers)
        
    def val_dataloader(self):
        return DataLoader(self.val_dataset, batch_size=self.batch_size, num_workers=self.num_workers)
        
    def test_dataloader(self):
        return DataLoader(self.test_dataset, batch_size=self.batch_size, num_workers=self.num_workers)

When it comes to actually using one of these, it looks something like the following:

# Init the LightningDataModule as well as the LightningModel
data = YourDataModule()
model = YourLightningModel()

# Define trainer
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="auto", devices=1)

# Ultimately, both  model and data are passed as an arg to trainer.fit
trainer.fit(model, data)

Here's an example of a LightningDataModule implemented in practice, using the LARRY single-cell dataset: link. Initial downloading and formatting occurs only once but takes several minutes so we will leave it outside the scope of this tutorial.
