I process fairly large matrices in Python / Scipy. I need to extract rows from a large matrix (which is loaded into coo_matrix) and use them as diagonal elements. I am currently doing this as follows:
import numpy as np
from scipy import sparse
def computation(A):
for i in range(A.shape[0]):
diag_elems = np.array(A[i,:].todense())
ith_diag = sparse.spdiags(diag_elems,0,A.shape[1],A.shape[1], format = "csc")
A = (sparse.rand(1000,100000,0.02,format="csc")*5).astype(np.ubyte)
profile.run('computation(A)')
What I see from the output profileis that most of the time the function consumes it get_csr_submatrixwhen it is retrieved diag_elems. This makes me think that I'm using either an inefficient sparse representation of the source data, or the wrong way to extract a row from a sparse matrix. Can you suggest a better way to extract a row from a sparse matrix and present it in diagonal form?
EDIT
( , 'csc' csr , A[i,:] A.getrow(i)). , (.todense()) .
import numpy as np
from scipy import sparse
def computation(A):
for i in range(A.shape[0]):
diag_elems = np.array(A.getrow(i).todense())
ith_diag = sparse.spdiags(diag_elems,0,A.shape[1],A.shape[1], format = "csc")
A = (sparse.rand(1000,100000,0.02,format="csr")*5).astype(np.ubyte)
profile.run('computation(A)')
DIAgonal 1- CSR, :
diag_elems = A.getrow(i)
ith_diag = sparse.spdiags(diag_elems,0,A.shape[1],A.shape[1])
format="csc" ith_diags CSC:
