Motivation and context

The package supports NMF-based decomposition of subnetworks into topics. This change adds recursive decomposition so users can explore broad topics and their finer subtopics. The hierarchy gathers INDRA evidence and PubMed abstracts once, then reuses that corpus across branches.

Changes

  • Added decomposeSubnetworkIntoHierarchicalTopics() to recursively decompose topic subnetworks.
  • Added branch stop conditions for edge count, maximum depth, insufficient supporting papers, lack of a useful split, and decomposition errors.
  • Added a topicHierarchy result containing the topic tree, subnetworks, edge memberships, corpus, and parameters.
  • Added print.topicHierarchy() to display the hierarchy and leaf stop reasons.
  • Updated decomposeSubnetworkByTopic() to accept reusable evidence and abstracts inputs and attach the resolved corpus to its result.
  • Added corpus validation, edge-specific evidence filtering, and retrieval of missing abstracts.
  • Exported the new function and registered its print method.
  • Added documentation for the hierarchical API and corpus reuse.
  • Marked both decomposition functions as beta features whose APIs may change.

Tests

Added synthetic tests for corpus reuse, recursive decomposition, selective abstract retrieval, input validation, hierarchy and edge-membership consistency, query counts, stopping conditions, printed output, and parameter validation.

The supplied evidence shows test definitions. It does not show test execution results.

Coding guideline violations

No formal review findings were supplied. The available evidence does not establish whether coding guidelines were violated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds recursive hierarchical topic decomposition, reusable evidence and abstract corpora, hierarchy printing, public exports, documentation, and synthetic tests for decomposition, stopping rules, corpus reuse, and validation.

Changes

Topic hierarchy and corpus reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reusable topic corpus
R/decomposeSubnetworkByTopic.R, R/utils_decomposeSubnetworkByTopic.R, man/decomposeSubnetworkByTopic.R
decomposeSubnetworkByTopic accepts optional evidence and abstracts. The implementation validates, filters, fetches, and returns corpus data for reuse.
Recursive hierarchy construction
R/decomposeSubnetworkIntoHierarchicalTopics.R
The new function recursively decomposes subnetworks, records stop reasons, builds tree paths, and creates topic-to-edge memberships.
Public API and validation coverage
NAMESPACE, man/decomposeSubnetworkIntoHierarchicalTopics.Rd, man/print.topicHierarchy.Rd, tests/testthat/test-decomposeSubnetworkIntoHierarchicalTopics.R
The hierarchy function and print method are exported and documented. Tests cover corpus reuse, hierarchy structure, stopping rules, printing, query counts, and invalid inputs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to abdb2

Hierarchy results can silently omit evidence-backed edges, while accepted corpus input can fail during decomposition. Address both before merging.

Validate edge coverage before accepting a split.

With a supported cutoff of 0.5 or lower, a split can produce one full-size topic and another strict-subset topic. The filter removes the full-size topic and keeps the strict subset. Parent edges that occur only in the removed topic then have no descendant membership row.

Require the union of retained child edges to equal the parent edges. If coverage fails, return leaf("no_split"). If edge_membership must include those edges, create a terminal child instead, because the root is excluded from that table.

Suggested coverage guard
     n_child_edges <- vapply(topics, function(t) nrow(t$edges), integer(1))
     children <- topics[n_child_edges > 0 & n_child_edges < n_edges]
     if (length(children) == 0) return(leaf("no_split"))
