TaGra: an open Python package for easily generating graphs from data tables through manifold learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The challenge of analyzing high-dimensional data affects many scientific disciplines, from pharmacology to chemistry and biology. Traditional dimensionality reduction methods often oversimplify data, making it difficult to interpret individual points. This distortion can complicate the visualization of mutual distances between data points in the reduced space. Graphs provide an effective framework for representing objects and their relationships. One of their possible use is visualizing similarity patterns in tabular datasets. Here we introduce TaGra, an off-the-shelf package designed to generate a graph of similarity relations from tabular data. TaGra enables the visualization of datasets in 2D space, identification of typical data points and outliers, and assessment of the separation between items with different target variables. We describe TaGra's functionality, options and setup. The software including examples, instructions and a guide, is openly available on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/TaGra/ and on GitHub at https://github.com/davidetorre92/TaGra.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
