The constant introduction of standardized benchmarks in the literature has helped accelerating the recent advances in meta-learning research. They offer a way to get a fair comparison between different algorithms, and the wide range of datasets available allows full control over the complexity of this evaluation. However, for a large majority of code available online, the data pipeline is often specific to one dataset, and testing on another dataset requires significant rework. We introduce Torchmeta, a library built on top of PyTorch that enables seamless and consistent evaluation of meta-lea…

We introduce torchNTK, a python library to calculate the empirical neural tangent kernel (NTK) of neural network models in the PyTorch framework. We provide an efficient method to calculate the NTK of multilayer perceptrons. We compare the explicit differentiation implementation against autodifferentiation implementations, which have the benefit of extending the utility of the library to any architecture supported by PyTorch, such as convolutional networks. A feature of the library is that we expose the user to layerwise NTK components, and show that in some regimes a layerwise calculation is …
In this paper, we introduce MCTensor, a library based on PyTorch for providing general-purpose and high-precision arithmetic for DL training. MCTensor is used in the same way as PyTorch Tensor: we implement multiple basic, matrix-level computation operators and NN modules for MCTensor with identical PyTorch interface. Our algorithms achieve high precision computation and also benefits from heavily-optimized PyTorch floating-point arithmetic. We evaluate MCTensor arithmetic against PyTorch native arithmetic for a series of tasks, where models using MCTensor in float16 would match or outperform …

Deep learning frameworks have often focused on either usability or speed, but not both. PyTorch is a machine learning library that shows that these two goals are in fact compatible: it provides an imperative and Pythonic programming style that supports code as a model, makes debugging easy and is consistent with other popular scientific computing libraries, while remaining efficient and supporting hardware accelerators such as GPUs. In this paper, we detail the principles that drove the implementation of PyTorch and how they are reflected in its architecture. We emphasize that every aspect of …
In recent years, the growing size of neural networks has led to a vast amount of research concerning compression techniques to mitigate the drawbacks of such large sizes. Most of these research works can be categorized into three broad families : Knowledge Distillation, Pruning, and Quantization. While there has been steady research in this domain, adoption and commercial usage of the proposed techniques has not quite progressed at the rate. We present KD-Lib, an open-source PyTorch based library, which contains state-of-the-art modular implementations of algorithms from the three families on …
In spite of showing unreasonable effectiveness in modalities like Text and Image, Deep Learning has always lagged Gradient Boosting in tabular data - both in popularity and performance. But recently there have been newer models created specifically for tabular data, which is pushing the performance bar. But popularity is still a challenge because there is no easy, ready-to-use library like Sci-Kit Learn for deep learning. PyTorch Tabular is a new deep learning library which makes working with Deep Learning and tabular data easy and fast. It is a library built on top of PyTorch and PyTorch Ligh…

In this paper, we introduce McTorch, a manifold optimization library for deep learning that extends PyTorch. It aims to lower the barrier for users wishing to use manifold constraints in deep learning applications, i.e., when the parameters are constrained to lie on a manifold. Such constraints include the popular orthogonality and rank constraints, and have been recently used in a number of applications in deep learning. McTorch follows PyTorch's architecture and decouples manifold definitions and optimizers, i.e., once a new manifold is added it can be used with any existing optimizer and vi…

We introduce TyXe, a Bayesian neural network library built on top of Pytorch and Pyro. Our leading design principle is to cleanly separate architecture, prior, inference and likelihood specification, allowing for a flexible workflow where users can quickly iterate over combinations of these components. In contrast to existing packages TyXe does not implement any layer classes, and instead relies on architectures defined in generic Pytorch code. TyXe then provides modular choices for canonical priors, variational guides, inference techniques, and layer selections for a Bayesian treatment of the…

We present Amazon SageMaker model parallelism, a software library that integrates with PyTorch, and enables easy training of large models using model parallelism and other memory-saving features. In contrast to existing solutions, the implementation of the SageMaker library is much more generic and flexible, in that it can automatically partition and run pipeline parallelism over arbitrary model architectures with minimal code change, and also offers a general and extensible framew…
Since the recent advent of deep reinforcement learning for game play and simulated robotic control, a multitude of new algorithms have flourished. Most are model-free algorithms which can be categorized into three families: deep Q-learning, policy gradients, and Q-value policy gradients. These have developed along separate lines of research, such that few, if any, code bases incorporate all three kinds. Yet these algorithms share a great depth of common deep reinforcement learning machinery. We are pleased to share rlpyt, which implements all three algorithm families on top of a shared, optimi…

The DIVA model is a computational model of speech motor control that combines a simulation of the brain regions responsible for speech production with a model of the human vocal tract. The model is currently implemented in Matlab Simulink; however, this is less than ideal as most of the development in speech technology research is done in Python. This means there is a wealth of machine learning tools which are freely available in the Python ecosystem that cannot be easily integrated with DIVA. We present TorchDIVA, a full rebuild of DIVA in Python using PyTorch tensors. DIVA source code was di…
