SLAFDataLoader

High-performance DataLoader for SLAF data optimized for ML training.

SLAFDataLoader provides efficient streaming of pre-tokenized single-cell data for machine learning applications. It uses async batch processing and provides device-agnostic CPU tensor output for maximum training flexibility.

Key Features
  • Multiple tokenization strategies (GeneFormer, scGPT)
  • Pre-tokenized sequences for maximum performance
  • Device-agnostic CPU tensor output
  • Async batch processing with background prefetching
  • Memory-efficient streaming
  • PyTorch tensor output with attention masks
  • Comprehensive error handling and validation

Examples:

>>> # Basic usage with default settings
>>> slaf_array = SLAFArray("path/to/data.slaf")
>>> dataloader = SLAFDataLoader(slaf_array)
>>> for batch in dataloader:
...     print(f"Batch shape: {batch['input_ids'].shape}")
...     print(f"Cell IDs: {batch['cell_ids']}")
...     break
Batch shape: torch.Size([32, 2048])
Cell IDs: tensor([0, 1, 2, ..., 29, 30, 31])
>>> # Custom configuration for training
>>> dataloader = SLAFDataLoader(
...     slaf_array=slaf_array,
...     tokenizer_type="scgpt",
...     batch_size=64,
...     max_genes=1024
... )
>>> print(f"Number of batches: {len(dataloader)}")
Number of batches: 42
>>> # Training loop example
>>> for batch_idx, batch in enumerate(dataloader):
...     input_ids = batch["input_ids"]
...     attention_mask = batch["attention_mask"]
...     cell_ids = batch["cell_ids"]
...     # Your training code here
...     if batch_idx >= 2:  # Just test first few batches
...         break
>>> print("Training loop completed")
Training loop completed
>>> # Error handling for invalid tokenizer type
>>> try:
...     dataloader = SLAFDataLoader(slaf_array, tokenizer_type="invalid")
... except ValueError as e:
...     print(f"Error: {e}")
Error: Unsupported tokenizer type: invalid

        Initialize the SLAF DataLoader with training configuration.

        Args:
            slaf_array: SLAFArray instance containing the single-cell data.
                       Must be a valid SLAFArray with proper Lance dataset structure.
            tokenizer_type: Tokenization strategy to use. Options: "geneformer", "scgpt".
                          Geneformer uses ranked gene sequences, scGPT uses interleaved
                          gene-expression pairs.
            batch_size: Number of cells per batch. Larger batches use more memory
                       but may improve training efficiency. Range: 1-512, default: 32.
            max_genes: Maximum number of genes to include in each cell's tokenization.
                     For Geneformer: same as sequence length. For scGPT: number of
                     gene-expression pairs (sequence length = 2*max_genes+2).
            vocab_size: Size of the tokenizer vocabulary. Higher values allow more
                       genes but use more memory. Range: 1000-100000, default: 50000.
            n_expression_bins: Number of expression level bins for scGPT discretization.
                             Higher values provide finer expression resolution.
                             Range: 1-1000, default: 10.
            n_epochs: Number of epochs to run. The generator will automatically reset
                     after each epoch, enabling multi-epoch training on small datasets.
                     Default: 1.
            raw_mode: If True, return raw cell × gene data as sparse CSR tensors
                     instead of pre-tokenized sequences. Default: False.
            verbose: If True, print detailed timing and progress information.
                    If False, suppress all SLAF internal prints for clean output.
                    Default: True.
            batches_per_chunk: Number of Lance batches to load per chunk for batch-based loading.
                             Higher values use more memory but may improve throughput.
                             Range: 10-200, default: 50.
            by_fragment: If True, use fragment-based loading instead of batch-based loading.
                        Fragment-based loading provides higher entropy but may be slightly slower.
                        Default: False.

        Raises:
            ValueError: If tokenizer_type is not supported or parameters are invalid.

Maximum number of genes to include in each cell's tokenization. For Geneformer: same as sequence length. For scGPT: number of gene-expression pairs (sequence length = 2*max_genes+2).

2048
vocab_size int

Size of the tokenizer vocabulary. Higher values allow more genes but use more memory. Range: 1000-100000, default: 50000.

50000
n_expression_bins int

Number of expression level bins for scGPT discretization. Higher values provide finer expression resolution. Range: 1-1000, default: 10.

10
n_epochs int

Number of epochs to run. The generator will automatically reset after each epoch, enabling multi-epoch training on small datasets. Default: 1.

1
raw_mode bool

If True, return raw cell × gene data as sparse CSR tensors instead of pre-tokenized sequences. Default: False.

False
verbose bool

If True, print detailed timing and progress information. If False, suppress all SLAF internal prints for clean output. Default: True.

True
batches_per_chunk int

Number of Lance batches to load per chunk for batch-based loading. Higher values use more memory but may improve throughput. Range: 10-200, default: 50.

50
by_fragment bool

If True, use fragment-based loading instead of batch-based loading. Fragment-based loading provides higher entropy but may be slightly slower. Default: False.

False

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If tokenizer_type is not supported or parameters are invalid.

RuntimeError

If PyTorch is not available or datasets module is missing.

TypeError

If slaf_array is not a valid SLAFArray instance.

ImportError

If required dependencies are not available.

SLAFTokenizer

Tokenizer for single-cell RNA-seq data in SLAF format.

SLAFTokenizer converts single-cell gene expression data into token sequences suitable for machine learning models. It supports multiple tokenization strategies including GeneFormer and scGPT formats with optimized vectorized operations.

Key Features
  • Multiple tokenization strategies (GeneFormer, scGPT)
  • Vectorized tokenization for high performance
  • Expression binning for scGPT format
  • Device-agnostic CPU tensor output
  • Memory-efficient processing
  • Comprehensive vocabulary management

Examples:

>>> # Basic usage with GeneFormer
>>> slaf_array = SLAFArray("path/to/data.slaf")
>>> tokenizer = SLAFTokenizer(slaf_array, tokenizer_type="geneformer")
>>> gene_sequences = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
>>> input_ids, attention_mask = tokenizer.tokenize(gene_sequences)
>>> print(f"Input shape: {input_ids.shape}")
Input shape: torch.Size([2, 2048])
>>> # scGPT with expression sequences
>>> tokenizer = SLAFTokenizer(slaf_array, tokenizer_type="scgpt")
>>> gene_sequences = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
>>> expr_sequences = [[0.5, 0.8, 0.2], [0.9, 0.1, 0.7]]
>>> input_ids, attention_mask = tokenizer.tokenize(
...     gene_sequences, expr_sequences
... )
>>> print(f"Input shape: {input_ids.shape}")
Input shape: torch.Size([2, 2050])
>>> # Error handling for invalid tokenizer type
>>> try:
...     tokenizer = SLAFTokenizer(slaf_array, tokenizer_type="invalid")
... except ValueError as e:
...     print(f"Error: {e}")
Error: Unsupported tokenizer type: invalid. Supported types: ['geneformer', 'scgpt']
>>> # Vocabulary information

class SLAFTokenizer:
    """
    Tokenizer for single-cell RNA-seq data in SLAF format.

    SLAFTokenizer converts single-cell gene expression data into token sequences
    suitable for machine learning models. It supports multiple tokenization strategies
    including GeneFormer and scGPT formats with optimized vectorized operations.

    Key Features:
        - Multiple tokenization strategies (GeneFormer, scGPT)
        - Vectorized tokenization for high performance
        - Expression binning for scGPT format
        - Device-agnostic CPU tensor output
        - Memory-efficient processing
        - Comprehensive vocabulary management

    Examples:
        >>> # Basic usage with GeneFormer
        >>> slaf_array = SLAFArray("path/to/data.slaf")
        >>> tokenizer = SLAFTokenizer(slaf_array, tokenizer_type="geneformer")

        >>> input_ids, attention_mask = tokenizer.tokenize(gene_sequences)
        >>> print(f"Input shape: {input_ids.shape}")
        Input shape: torch.Size([2, 2048])

    Tokenize gene expression sequences into model-ready tensors.

    This method converts gene and expression sequences into tokenized tensors
    suitable for machine learning models. It supports both GeneFormer and scGPT
    tokenization strategies with optimized vectorized operations.

    Args:
        gene_sequences: List of gene ID sequences for each cell
        expr_sequences: List of expression value sequences for each cell (required for scGPT)
        max_genes: Maximum number of genes per cell (defaults based on tokenizer type)

    Returns:
        tuple: (input_ids, attention_mask) tensors
            - input_ids: Tokenized sequences with padding
            - attention_mask: Boolean mask indicating valid tokens

    Raises:
        ValueError: If gene_sequences is empty
