Labelling

The Labelling process requires a segmentation object created by the Segmentation process and most of this process takes place in the secondary graphical user interface (Browse Trajectories GUI) activated by the button Browse Trajectories.

### Labelling Overview ### As described in the [publication](http://www.nature.com/articles/srep14562), the segmentation process generates a large number of segments to be classified, labelling all of them manually becomes intractable. For this reason, in order to classify all the segments, a semi-supervised clustering algorithm is used which requires only a small number of manually labelled segments.

The manual labelling is achieved by using a Browse Trajectories GUI which provides a clear visualization of both the trajectories and the segments.

### The Labelling Panel ###

• Browse Trajectories (Button): Opens the Browse Trajectories GUI for labelling the segments.

- **Labelling Data Path** Specifies the path of the labelling data CSV file created by using the [Browse Trajectories GUI](https://github.com/RodentDataAnalytics/mwm-ml-gen/wiki/Browse-Trajectories-GUI). The path needs to be provided manually by the user and it is a requirement in order to run the Num of Clusters functionality (see below) as well as the [Classification process](https://github.com/RodentDataAnalytics/mwm-ml-gen/wiki/Classification). - **Num of Clusters (Button):** Generates a series of graphs indicating the impact of the number of clusters on the clustering performance. These graphs show (a) the percentage of classification errors; (b) the percentage of segments belonging to clusters that could not be mapped to a single class; (c) the percentage of the full swimming paths that are covered by at least one segment of a known class. Through these graphs the user can determine the ideal number of clusters that needs to be used for the [Classification process](https://github.com/RodentDataAnalytics/mwm-ml-gen/wiki/Classification). In order to run this functionality a [Segmentation Configurations Object](https://github.com/RodentDataAnalytics/mwm-ml-gen/wiki/Segmentation) and a labelling data CSV file needs to be provided (by default the program uses the ones specified in the [Segmentation Configurations Object Path](https://github.com/RodentDataAnalytics/mwm-ml-gen/wiki/Segmentation#seg_obj_path) and in the Labelling Data Path.
