seqme.metrics.Novelty

class seqme.metrics.Novelty(reference, *, name='Novelty')

Fraction of sequences not in the reference set.

__init__(reference, *, name='Novelty')

Initialize the Novelty metric.

Parameters:

• reference (list[str]) – A list of reference sequences against which generated sequences will be compared. Sequences found in this list are considered non-novel.

• name (str) – Metric name.

__call__(sequences)

Compute the novelty as the proportion of input sequences that are not present in the reference set.

Parameters:

sequences (list[str]) – Sequences to evaluate.

Returns:

The novelty score between 0 and 1,

where 0 indicates no novel sequences and 1 indicates all sequences are novel.

Return type:

MetricResult
