Markov Cluster algorithm

[koteth]

An attempt to implement the MCL (Markov Cluster) algorithm in APL.
I'm still a beginner in APL, any advice is welcome.

Looks really cool. How did you generate the graphics? Would you be interested in automatically generating those from within APL?

Code from https://github.com/koteth/MCL_APL/blob/master/MCL.dyalog:

Code: Select all

matrix ← ⎕csv 'PATH TO MATRIX/matrix.csv'
InflateCoef ← 2

M ← ⍎¨ matrix
id←{⍵ ⍵⍴1,⍵⍴0}
Nor←{+⌿⍵}
Nmat ← {( ( ⍴ ⍵) ⍴ (Nor ⍵)) }
NormColumn ← {( ⍴ ⍵ ) ⍴ ((×/⍴⍵) ⍴⍵)÷((×/⍴⍵)  ⍴ Nmat  ⍵ )}

Expand ← {⍵ +.× ⍵}
Inflate  ←  NormColumn {  (⍴⍺) ⍴ (  (×/⍴⍺) ⍴  ⍺) * ⍵ }

M2 ← NormColumn (M + id (≢ M))
Markov ←  { ( Expand (NormColumn ⍵) ) Inflate InflateCoef }

FP ← (Markov ⍣ ≡ ⊢ M2)

R ← ((+/FP) >0) ⌿ FP
ClustMap ← ⌽↑⍸R

"Improved" version of as follows.
• separate code to create the matrix and to do the Markov iteration
• trivial functions included in-line and left unnamed

Code: Select all

MCL3←{                                                           
  ⍺←2                                 ⍝ inflation coefficient default
  id←{(⍵,⍵)⍴1,⍵⍴0}                    ⍝ identity matrix of order ⍵   
  NormColumn←{⍵÷⍤1+⌿⍵}                                           
  Markov←{⍺ *⍨ +.×⍨ NormColumn ⍵}     ⍝ one Markov iteration         
  FP←⍺ Markov⍣≡NormColumn ⍵+id≢⍵                                 
  ⌽↑⍸(0<+/FP)⌿FP                                                 
}

Since NormColumn is idempotent and is the first function to be applied in Markov, it is not necessary to apply it before launching the iteration. Whence NormColumn is used just once and can be inserted in-line. Therefore:

      MCL4 ← {⍺←2 ⋄ ⌽↑⍸(0<+/FP)⌿FP← ⍺ {⍺ *⍨ +.×⍨ ⍵÷⍤1+⌿⍵}⍣≡ ⍵+∘.=⍨⍳≢⍵}

Interesting rewriting. Now is more clear to me how to use the ⍨ operator , thanks.

For the image I've used python with networkx. It would be nice to use APL, i've never tried to generate graphics. I'm currently using Dyalog 16 for linux, would you be able to suggest some starting point?

There are illuminating parallels between dyadic f⍨ and the passive case and monadic f⍨ and the reflexive case for verbs in natural languages.

Network graphs are documented in https://sharpplot.com/NetworkMap.htm
If you've never used SharpPlot, see https://sharpplot.com/Languages.htm which should help you translate the C# samples of the rest of the documentation.
