NEWS:
- Geomstats is recruiting an engineer for a start early 2022! If interested, details can be found here.
- The white paper summarizing the findings from our ICLR 2021 challenge of computational differential geometry and topology is out. Read it here.
- Check out our new information_geometry module.
Geomstats is an open-source Python package for computations and
statistics on manifolds. The package is organized into two main modules:
geometry
and learning
.
The module geometry
implements concepts in differential geometry,
and the module learning
implements statistics and learning
algorithms for data on manifolds.
- To get an overview of
geomstats
, see our introductory video. - To get started with
geomstats
, see the examples and notebooks directories. - The documentation of
geomstats
can be found on the documentation website. - Interested in information geometry? Go to our information_geometry module.
- To follow the scientific literature on geometric statistics, follow our twitter-bot @geomstats!

- and Geomstats software version (citation automatically generated by Zenodo at the bottom right of this link).
We would sincerely appreciate citations to both the original research paper and the software version, to acknowledge authors who started the codebase and made the library possible, together with the crucial work of all contributors who are continuously implementing pivotal new geometries and important learning algorithms, as well as refactoring, testing and documenting the code to democratize geometric statistics and (deep) learning and foster reproducible research in this field.
From a terminal (OS X & Linux), you can install geomstats and its
requirements with pip3
as follows:
pip3 install geomstats
This method installs the latest version of geomstats that is uploaded on PyPi. Note that geomstats is only available with Python3.
From a terminal (OS X & Linux), you can install geomstats and its
requirements via git
as follows:
git clone https://github.com/geomstats/geomstats.git pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This method installs the latest GitHub version of geomstats.
To add the requirements.txt into a conda environment, you can use the enviroment.yml file as follows:
conda env create --file environment.yml
Note that this only installs the minimum requirements. To add the optional, development, continuous integration and documentation requirements, refer to the files *-requirements.txt.
Developers should git clone the master branch of this repository, together with the development requirements
and the optional requirements to enable tensorflow
and pytorch
backends:
pip3 install -r dev-requirements.txt -r opt-requirements.txt
Additionally, we recommend installing our pre-commit hook, to ensure that your code follows our Python style guidelines:
pre-commit install
Geomstats can run seamlessly with numpy
, tensorflow
or
pytorch
. Note that pytorch
and tensorflow
requirements are
optional, as geomstats can be used with numpy
only. By default, the
numpy
backend is used. The visualizations are only available with
this backend.
To get the tensorflow
and pytorch
versions compatible with
geomstats, install the optional
requirements:
pip3 install -r opt-requirements.txt
You can choose your backend by setting the environment variable
GEOMSTATS_BACKEND
to numpy
, tensorflow
or pytorch
, and
importing the backend
module. From the command line:
export GEOMSTATS_BACKEND=pytorch
and in the Python3 code:
import geomstats.backend as gs
To use geomstats
for learning algorithms on Riemannian manifolds,
you need to follow three steps: - instantiate the manifold of interest,
- instantiate the learning algorithm of interest, - run the algorithm.
The data should be represented by a gs.array
. This structure
represents numpy arrays, or tensorflow/pytorch tensors, depending on the
choice of backend.
The following code snippet shows the use of tangent Principal Component
Analysis on simulated data
on the space of 3D rotations.
from geomstats.geometry.special_orthogonal import SpecialOrthogonal
from geomstats.learning.pca import TangentPCA
so3 = SpecialOrthogonal(n=3, point_type="vector")
metric = so3.bi_invariant_metric
data = so3.random_uniform(n_samples=10)
tpca = TangentPCA(metric=metric, n_components=2)
tpca = tpca.fit(data)
tangent_projected_data = tpca.transform(data)
All geometric computations are performed behind the scenes. The user only needs a high-level understanding of Riemannian geometry. Each algorithm can be used with any of the manifolds and metric implemented in the package.
