Required packages

Pip doesn't seem to work for SHAP, so I recommend conda. Use either pip or conda for the other packages.

Downloading the Data

Due to file size constraints, the raw data is not included in the repo, but can be downloaded from Dropbox. To work with the data, download the data, unzip, then copy the three folders: Images, Standardized Images, and Data to the BIKED git folder. Currently, this Repo does not have any example code using the segmented component images.

Description of Data

Numerical Data

Data/BIKED_processed.csv contains the final processed data after miscellaneous processing steps (Sections 3.1-3.6 in the paper). This data is a csv file containing 4512 models and 2395 parameters. The first column of the csv file contains the model numbers and the first row contains the parameter names. To load the dataset into a Pandas DataFrame, use the following code. This dataframe will have model numbers as indices and parameters as column names.

import Pandas as pd
df=pd.read_csv("data/BIKED_processed.csv", index_col=0)

Image Data

  1. Images contains raw image exports after removal of dimensions and dimensional labels (Section 3.3 in the paper) Warning: Images and processed parametric data do not contain the exact same set of models

  2. Standardized Images contains standardized image exports after reexporting images from the processed BIKED data (Section 3.7 in the paper)

  3. Segmented bike images contains all image segmentation data (Section 3.3 in the paper) (To be updated to match model numbering)

Example Applications

Unsupervised Methods

See Functions/unsupervised.py for the code used the t-SNE and PCA embeddings

Parametric Classification Comparison

See Functions/Classification.ipynb for the comparison of many classifiers with different train sizes.

Tensorflow Deep Classifiers

See Functions/TF Classifier.ipynb for comparison of Deep classifiers using Images, Parametric Data, and a Combination of the two. The SHAP analysis can also be found in Functions/TF Classifier.ipynb. The image data will need to be preprocessed first:

  1. Navigate to functions directory:

    cd Functions

  2. Run preprocessImages.py:

    python preprocessImages.py

Generation Examples

Other Numerical Data

Other Preprepared Data

In case you want to use BIKED but require different processing steps than the generic approach, two other versions of biked are provided besides the standard BIKED_processed data.

  1. BIKED_raw.csv contains the raw parameter space of the data after File Standardization (Section 3.2 in the paper). This data contains 4791 models and 23813 parameters.

  2. BIKED_reduced.csv contains the reduced parameter space of the data after parameter space reduction (Section 3.5 in the paper). This data contains 4512 models and 1320 parameters.

Custom Processing Steps

Alternatively, BIKED can be processed using custom processing steps. The functionality to process and curate the dataset is included in the Functions/prepareData.py which calls a set of helper functions contained within Functions/dataFrameTools.py and Functions/paramRedux.py. If custom data processing steps are desired, these functions can be used as a starting point. Currently the dataset is processed (or reprocessed) using the BIKED_raw as a starting point (Reminder: This needs to be downloaded from the Harvard Dataverse and moved to the Data/ folder.) To reprocess the dataset:

  1. Navigate to functions directory:

    cd Functions

  2. Run prepareData.py:

    python prepareData.py

This will generate several more csv files in the Data/ folder that may potentially be valuable. BIKED_datatypes.csv and BIKED_processed_datatypes.csv contain lookup tables of parameter types of BIKED_reduced and BIKED_processed. OHdf.csv contains the data after one hot encoding but before imputation. meddf.csv contains a lookup table of indices of the median bikes of every class. BIKED_normalized.csv contains a min-max normalized version of BIKED_processed. classdf.csv contains a dataframe of the median values for each parameter for each class of bike using the same min-max normalization as BIKED_normalized.csv.

Generating BikeCAD files from parametric data

The functionality to generate synthesized BikeCAD files is provided in processGen.py in the /Functions folder, which calls functions from dataFrameTools.py. ProcessGen will process a file from the /Data folder, synthesized.csv to be generated by the user. This file is assumed to have the same column structure as the processed or normalized data (BIKED_processed.csv/BIKED_normalized.csv) with the same column labels but different indices and data. Additionally, generated data is expected to have the same scaling as BIKED_normalized.csv. An example Data/synthsized.csv file is included with 4 sample synthesized models. Synthesized models will be generated in /Generated BCAD files/Files/. BikeCAD files can be opened in the BikeCAD software to export images.

  1. Navigate to functions directory:

    cd Functions

  2. Run processGen.py:

    python processGen.py

processGen.py will also generate two intermediate csv files for analysis: synthesized_DeOH contains the dataframe of synthesized parametric data after reversing the min-max scaling applied to the original data. synthesized_DeOH contains the data after reversing the one-hot encoding. This is the exact parametric data that is inserted into the template .bcad files for BCAD file generation.
