load_uwot: Save or Load a Model

In uwot: The Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) Method for Dimensionality Reduction

Save or Load a Model

Description

Functions to write a UMAP model to a file, and to restore.

Usage

load_uwot(file, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

file	name of the file where the model is to be saved or read from.
verbose	if TRUE, log information to the console.

Value

The model saved at file, for use with umap_transform. Additionally, it contains an extra item: mod_dir, which contains the path to the temporary working directory used during loading of the model. This directory cannot be removed until this model has been unloaded by using unload_uwot.

Examples

iris_train <- iris[c(1:10, 51:60), ]
iris_test <- iris[100:110, ]

# create model
model <- umap(iris_train, ret_model = TRUE, n_epochs = 20)

# save without unloading: this leaves behind a temporary working directory
model_file <- tempfile("iris_umap")
model <- save_uwot(model, file = model_file)

# The model can continue to be used
test_embedding <- umap_transform(iris_test, model)

# To manually unload the model from memory when finished and to clean up
# the working directory (this doesn't touch your model file)
unload_uwot(model)

# At this point, model cannot be used with umap_transform, this would fail:
# test_embedding2 <- umap_transform(iris_test, model)

# restore the model: this also creates a temporary working directory
model2 <- load_uwot(file = model_file)
test_embedding2 <- umap_transform(iris_test, model2)

# Unload and clean up the loaded model temp directory
unload_uwot(model2)

# clean up the model file
unlink(model_file)

# save with unloading: this deletes the temporary working directory but
# doesn't allow the model to be re-used
model3 <- umap(iris_train, ret_model = TRUE, n_epochs = 20)
model_file3 <- tempfile("iris_umap")
model3 <- save_uwot(model3, file = model_file3, unload = TRUE)
