Parameters in training model for integrating datasets with scVI in R

joweihsieh · March 1, 2025, 8:00am

Thanks for developing this tool!!

I was trying to use scVI to integrate my datasets. Following the instructions (Integrating datasets with scVI in R — scvi-tools), I was able to run the script successfully without changing any parameters in the training model. My next step was trying to change some parameters in the training model, but I encountered errors. Could you please help me resolve these issues? Thanks!

Hi, I assume reticulate has issues interpreting 5. Can you try:

n_latent_value <- as.integer(5)
model <- scvi$model$SCVI(adata_5_in_1, n_latent = n_latent_value)

joweihsieh · March 1, 2025, 7:51pm

Hi,

n_latent_value ← as.integer(5)
model ← scvi$model$SCVI$create(adata_5_in_1, n_latent = n_latent_value)

I tried but still have errors.

See edit above. Sorry for the typo.

joweihsieh · March 1, 2025, 8:21pm

It works!! Thank you!!

joweihsieh · March 2, 2025, 11:30pm

Could you please share some suggestions on which parameters we can adjust to enhance the integration performance? I am planning to try n_hidden, n_layers and n_latent_value.

Thanks!!

ori-kron-wis · March 3, 2025, 8:29am

Hi,
Practically all model/training parameters are open for tune and can affect the integration performance. Also the selection of batch key is a crucial factor of course. You can use our autotune to try to find an optimal set of parameters, check our documentation in the subject.

joweihsieh · March 5, 2025, 8:04am

Hi,

I would like to use GPU to speed up the process. I got some errors…It seems to result from PyTorch and CUDA so I tried to re-install PyTorch. But it still failed…
Just wonder if you have any idea? Thanks!!!

kinda hard for me to understand whats going on.
I do see some anndata related messages.

My suggestion to you is to: create a new clean environment, install scvi-tools v1.3 on python 3.12 backend & make sure you can run code (any simple code, not scvi) on the GPU, given this torch + cuda settings you have in your R env, then move to try to run a scvi code, and start from a very basic dummy test.

does the same code trains on the cpu? so we will know there no data issues

joweihsieh · March 5, 2025, 8:30am

Yes! The data is able to be trained on cpu.

scvi$model$SCVI$setup_anndata(adata_5_in_1, batch_key = “batch”)
model ← scvi$model$SCVI(adata_5_in_1)
model$train()

Hi, could you train directly in Python? This would make the error log much simpler and avoid some errors like wrong type setting that come with reticulate.

hey @joweihsieh
I agree to try to run this directly on python, especially also because in the R code you run most of it in python code…

In any case, using scvi-tools 1.3v, we run the autotune code a bit different now. For example this was working for me in R env (just replace to your adata):

library(reticulate)
options(reticulate.verbose = TRUE)
py_module_available('scvi')
scvi <- import('scvi')
ray <- import('ray')

adata <- scvi$data$synthetic_iid()

py$adata <- adata

py_run_string("
from scvi.model import SCVI
from ray import tune
from scvi.data import synthetic_iid
from scvi.autotune import run_autotune

SCVI.setup_anndata(adata)

experiment = run_autotune(
  SCVI,
  adata,
  metrics=['elbo_validation'],
  mode='min',
  search_space={
    'model_params': {
      'n_hidden': tune.choice([64, 128, 256]),
      'n_layers': tune.choice([1, 2, 3, 4]),
      'n_latent': tune.choice([5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50]),
      'gene_likelihood': tune.choice(['nb', 'zinb']),
    },
    'train_params': {
      'max_epochs': 100,
      'plan_kwargs': {'lr': tune.loguniform(1e-4, 1e-2)}
    },
  },
  num_samples=20,
  seed=0,
  scheduler='asha',
  searcher='hyperopt',
  ignore_reinit_error=True,
)
")
