Parameters:

• source (TypeVar(K, bound= Hashable)) – Key identifying the source distribution.

• target (TypeVar(K, bound= Hashable)) – Key identifying the target distribution.

• forward (bool) – If True, translate the source modality to the target modality, otherwise vice-versa.

• alternative_attr (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) –

  Alternative embedding to translate. Valid option are:

  • None - use the features specified when preparing the problem.

  • str - key in obsm where the data is stored.

  • dict - it should contain 'attr' and 'key', the attribute and the key in AnnData.

• **kwargs (Any) – The description is missing.

Return type:

Union[ndarray[tuple[int, ...], dtype[floating]], Array]

Returns:

: If forward = True, the translation of the source modality to the target modality, otherwise vice-versa.
