🎉 We released Spotlight 1.6.0 check it out

Version: 1.6.0

Detect data drift with the k-core distance

We compute the cosine distance of the k-nearest neighbor in the embedding space for each data sample. This distance can be used to detect outliers/drifted samples. We find a suitable outlier threshold by inspecting the data with Spotlight.

Use Chrome to run Spotlight in Colab. Due to Colab restrictions (e.g. no websocket support), the performance is limited. Run the notebook locally for the full Spotlight experience.

Open In Colab
  • df['embedding'] contain the embeddings for each data sample

Step-by-step example on CIFAR-100

Load CIFAR-100 from Huggingface hub and convert it to Pandas dataframe

dataset = datasets.load_dataset("renumics/cifar100-enriched", split="train")
df = dataset.to_pandas()

Compute k-nearest neighbor distances

df_kcore = compute_k_core_distances(df)
df = pd.concat([df, df_kcore], axis=1)

Inspect candidates for data drift with Spotlight

df_show = df.drop(columns=['embedding', 'probabilities'])
layout_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Renumics/spotlight/playbook_initial_draft/playbook/rookie/drift_kcore.json"
response = requests.get(layout_url)
layout = spotlight.layout.nodes.Layout(**json.loads(response.text))
spotlight.show(df_show, dtype={"image": spotlight.Image, "embedding_reduced": spotlight.Embedding}, layout=layout)
