CLAM is a Rust/Python library for learning approximate manifolds from data. It is designed to be fast, memory-efficient, easy to use, and scalable for big data applications.
CLAM provides utilities for fast search (Cakes) and anomaly detection (Chaoda).
As of writing this document, the project is still in a pre-1.0 state. This means that the API is not yet stable and breaking changes may occur frequently.
CLAM is a library crate so you can add it to your crate using cargo add abd_clam@0.21.4.
Here is a simple example of how to use CLAM to perform nearest neighbors search:
```rust use symagen::random_data;
use abd_clam::{knn, rnn, Cakes, PartitionCriteria, VecDataset};
/// Euclidean distance function.
///
/// This function is used to compute the distance between two points for the purposes
/// of this demo. You can use your own distance function instead. The required
/// signature is fn(T, T) -> U where T is the type of the points (must
/// implement Send, Sync and Copy) and U is a Number type (e.g. f32)
/// from the distances crate.
fn euclidean(x: &[f32], y: &[f32]) -> f32 {
x.iter()
.zip(y.iter())
.map(|(a, b)| a - b)
.map(|v| v * v)
.sum::
// Some parameters for generating random data. let seed = 42; let (cardinality, dimensionality) = (1000, 10); let (minval, max_val) = (-1., 1.);
/// Generate some random data. You can use your own data here.
let data: Vec
// We will use the first point in data as our query, and we will perform
// RNN search with a radius of 0.05 and KNN search for the 10 nearest neighbors.
let query: Vec
// We need the contents of data to be &[f32] instead of Vec
let name = "demo".tostring(); // The name of the dataset. let ismetric_expensive = false; // We will assume that our distance function is cheap to compute.
// The metric function itself will be given to Cakes. let data = VecDataset::new(name, data, euclidean, ismetricexpensive);
// We will use the default partition criteria for this example. This will partition // the data until each Cluster contains a single unique point. let criteria = PartitionCriteria::default();
// The Cakes struct provides the functionality described in the CHESS paper. // This line performs a non-trivial amount of work. let model = Cakes::new(data, Some(seed), criteria);
// We will soon add the ability to save and load models, but for now we will // just use the model we just created.
// We can now perform RNN search on the model. let rnnresults: Vec<(usize, f32)> = model.rnnsearch(&query, radius, rnn::Algorithm::Clustered); assert!(!rnnresults.isempty());
// We can also perform KNN search on the model. let knnresults: Vec<(usize, f32)> = model.knnsearch(&query, k, knn::Algorithm::RepeatedRnn); assert!(knn_results.len() >= k);
// Both results are a Vec of 2-tuples where the first element is the index of the point // in the dataset and the second element is the distance from the query point. ```
