This repository contains the code for the thesis "Quantification of Diversity in Structured Data". To visualize and facilitate the understanding and interpretation of a selected collection and application of diversity measures in the diversity dimensions of Coverage and Heterogeneity, a prototypical user interface (UI) for the diversity profile has been developed. This repository contains the code for this UI.
This tool is a streamlit app. To run it, you need to install streamlit and further dependencies for the calculation of the diversity dimensions Coverage and Heterogeneity.
It is recommended to use a virtual environment for this.
You can do this either by using the environment.yml file.
conda env create -f environment.ymlTo run the app, simply execute the following command:
streamlit run diversity_profile.pyThe app will open in your browser. The main code is located in diversity_profile.py. The code for the visualization of the diversity dimensions is located in src/st_output.py.
Further calculation on the coverage calculation is imported from the src/coverage.py file.
The frequency profiling is done in src/frequency_profiling.py.
The app currently includes a selection of pre-defined datasets which are stored in the data folder. You can add your own datasets by adding them to the data folder and adding them to the datasets list in st_output.py.
The datasets 'ACSIncome' and 'UKRoadSafety' that are mentioned in the thesis can be reproduced by running the 0_create_datasets_pipeline.ipynb script in the notebooks folder.
