NumPyPy vs Theano?
<p>I am wondering: do these two projects basically have the same goal -- to speed up numerical work in Python?</p> <p>What are the similarities and differences?</p> <p>I know that Theano does not aim to re-implement all of NumPy like NumPyPy does, but from what I've read, Theano can already lead to some really impressive speedup results. So why do we need NumPyPy if we can just write code for Theano that runs fast?</p>

theano define function which repeatedly calls another function?

I was able to get this far but loops are seriously challenging.</p> <p>I have the vague notion that if I can turn the theano.function into a theano.scan, and then put an outer theano.function around it - that might work. However, theano.scan is still magical to me (despite my best efforts). </p> <p>How can I make it so that the looping over minibatches is incorporated into a single function call? </p> <p>Update:</p> <p>I thought I had it!

Disconnected Input in Gradient of Theano Scan Op
<p>I have a number of items in groups of varying size. For each of these groups, one (known) item is the "correct" one. There is a function which will assign a score to each of item. This results in a flat vector of item scores, as well as vectors telling the index where each group begins and how big it is. I wish to do a "softmax" operation over the scores in each group to assign the items probabilities, and then take the sum of the logs of the probabilities of the correct answers. Here is a simpler version, where we simply return the score of the correct answer without the softmax and the logarithm.</p> <pre></pre> <p>This correctly calculates the output, but when I attempt to take the gradient with respect to the parameter , I get (paths abbreviated):</p> <pre></pre> <p>Now, the are constant, so there's no reason to need to take any gradients with respect to it.

Using Theano.scan with shared variables

Using Theano.scan with multidimensional arrays
<p>To speed up my code I am converting a multidimensional sumproduct function from Python to Theano. My Theano code reaches the same result, but only calculates the result for one dimension at a time, so that I have to use a Python for-loop to get the end result. I assume that would make the code slow, because Theano cannot optimize memory usage and transfer (for the gpu) between multiple function calls. Or is this a wrong assumption?</p> <p>So how can I change the Theano code, so that the sumprod is calculated in one function call?</p> <p>The original Python function:</p> <pre></pre> <p>For the following input </p> <pre></pre> <p>the output would be: that is 1*1 + 5*5, 2*2 + 6*6 and 4*4 + 7*7</p> <p>The Theano version of the code:</p> <pre></pre>

The \"vectorize\" is used in the NumPy context and it mean to use numpy.ndarray and use function that work on the full tensor at a time. This is always faster then doing it with loop (python loop or theano scan). Also, Theano optimize some of thoses cases by moving the computation outside the scan, but it don't always do it.</p>\n" } ]

How to reuse Theano function with different shared variables without rebuilding graph?
<p>I have a Theano function that is called several times, each time with different shared variables. The way it is implemented now, the Theano function gets redefined every time it is run.

How to calculate (1 - SparseMatrix) of a huge sparse matrix?
<p>I researched a lot on this but couldn't find a practical solution to this problem. I am using scipy to create csr sparse matrix and want to substract this matrix from an equivalent matrix of all ones. In scipy and numpy notations, if matrix is not sparse, we can do so by simply writing 1 - MatrixVariable. However, this operation is not implemented if Matrix is sparse. I could just think of the following obvious solution:</p> <p>Iterate through the entire sparse matrix, set all zero elements to 1 and all non-zero elements to 0.</p> <p>But this would create a matrix where most elements are 1 and only a few are 0, which is no longer sparse and due its huge size could not be converted to dense. </p> <p>What could be an alternative and effective way of doing this?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

Getting Theano to use the GPU
<p>I am having quite a bit of trouble setting up Theano to work with my graphics card - I hope you guys can give me a hand.</p> <p>I have used CUDA before and it is properly installed as would be necessary to run Nvidia Nsight. However, I now want to use it with PyDev and am having several problems following the 'Using the GPU' part of the tutorial at <a href="http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/install.html#gpu-linux" rel="noreferrer">http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/install.html#gpu-linux</a></p> <p>The first is quite basic, and that is how to set up the environment variables. It says I should '<strong>Define a $CUDA_ROOT environment variable</strong>'. Several sources have said to create a new '.pam_environment' file in my home directory. I have done this and written the following: </p> <pre></pre> <p>I am not sure if this is exactly the way it has to be written - apologies if this is a basic question. If I could get confirmation that this is indeed the correct place to have written it, too, that would be helpful.</p> <p>The second problem is in the following part of the tutorial. It says to '<strong>change the device option to name the GPU device in your computer</strong>'. Apparently this has something to do with THEANO_FLAGS and .theanorc, but nowhere am I able to find out what these are: are they files? If so where do I find them? The tutorial seems to be assuming some knowledge that I don't have!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to read this: any and all answers are greatly appreciated - I am very much completely stuck at the moment!</p>

How to build a model requiring external package in PyMC3?
<p>I'm not sure if this is a PyMC3 question or a Theano question. I've used PyMC2 for a long time to fit a cosmology to supernova data. This requires some messy integrals (see i.e. <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/astroph/9905116" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://arxiv.org/abs/astroph/9905116</a> )</p> <p>So I use a package in python called Cosmolopy to do the integration and for some other convenience functions. Whereas this used to work fine with PyMC2, with the reliance on theano in PyMC3, I can't figure out if there is even a way to use Cosmolopy.</p> <p>Here is some example code of my current understanding of how to build a model in PyMC3</p> <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"></pre> <p>This code crashes because Cosmolopy expects a float for omega_matter but receives a theano.TensorVariable instead.</p> <p>So the question is two-fold:</p> <ol> <li><p>Am I just missing something syntactically with PyMC3 that would allow me to do this (possibly because I am still stuck somehow on PyMC2 model-building)?</p></li> <li><p>If not 1, then do I need to find a way to do the integrals in theano?</p></li> </ol>

Can I avoid using `Theano.scan`?

Auto-encoder to reduce input data size
<p>Currently, I want to use the autoencoder for reducing the input data size in order to use the reduced data for another neural networks. My task is to take a video and then give the images of the video to the autoencoder. When I use only a few images as input, the autoencoder works well but when I want to have a sequences of images, it does not. </p> <p>Imagine taking video from a ball moving. We have for example 200 images. If I use autoencoder for 200 images the error is big but if I use only for 5 images, the reconstruction error is small and acceptable. It seems that autoencoder does not learn the sequence or temporal movement of the ball circulating. I also tries denoting stacked autoencoder but the results are not good. </p> <p>Does any one know what the problem is or it is possible to use the autoencoder for this task? </p>

Theano integration with already existing python code
<p>I have a simple question, for which I expected to already have found an easy answer online, but I did not.</p> <p>I have a python project that works a lot with numpy, due to matrix operations. I wanted to speed the code up, so I did some profiling to find out the right tool for the job. Turns out the overhead is not python, but the matrix operations. Hence I thought I should use Theano (especially given the case that I am implementing machine learning algorithms, and this is what is was made for).</p> <p>Most of the overhead of my project is in one function, and I was wondering it is somehow possible to just rewrite that function with theano and then get the numpy arrays out of it and continue the computation as usual.</p> <p>This is again just to test how much speed up I will obtain without committing myself to changing a lot of code.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Edit: function in case is this one</p> <pre></pre>

You can re implement just part of your code with Theano and it will work. Theano take numpy ndarray as input and return numpy ndarray as output by default. So the integration is easy with numpy.</p>\n\n<p>Theano don't implement einsum. So I would recommend you to start by replacing that with call to dot as Patrick said. I have see and hear many times that einsum is slower then call to dot in some cases. If that speed up isn't good enough, Theano can help you. If you just move the dot call to Theano, Theano won't be faster if Theano and NumPy are linked to the same BLAS library. But Theano should make you code faster if you move more computation to it. But it isn't perferct and some case don't have speed up and rare cases have slowdown compared to NumPy(mostly when the input shapes aren't big enough like with scalar) </p>\n\n<p>About Patrick answer, you don't need to use the symbolic gradient of Theano to benefit from Theano. But if you want to use the symbolic gradient, Theano can only compute the symbolic gradient inside computation graph done in Theano. So you will need to convert that part completely to Theano. But as your code already work, it mean you have manually implement the grad. This is fine and don't cause any problem. You can move that manual implementation of the grad to Theano without using the symbolic gradient.</p>\n\n<p>About Patrick comment on GPU. Don't forget that the transfer CPU/GPU of data is the most costly operation on the GPU. It can completely cancel the GPU speed up in many cases. So it isn't sure that doing only the dot on the GPU will help. In Theano, we put the weight on the GPU and without doing that I don't think you can get speed up from the GPU (which ever gnumpy/Theano/something else). The cases when doing only the DOT on the GPU will still give speed up is with gigantic matrices.</p>\n" } ]

Theano maximum likelihood for geometric brownian motion
<p>I'm trying to do maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for a geometric brownian motion with Theano. I know, Theano is primarily a ML library, but it <em>should</em> work... (of course I'm just trying out Theano and my eventual goal is to do MLE for a slightly more complicated model....)</p> <p>Writing math at SO is a bitch so look up GBM e.g. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Brownian_motion" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>Here's the Theano code, which is slightly modified from the logistic regression example in the Theano tutorial:</p> <pre></pre> <ul> <li>loghood is the log likelihood, which should be minimized w.r.t mu and sigma2</li> <li>Xdata is simulated from a GBM, dXdata[n] = Xdata[n+1] - Xdata[n]</li> <li>autodifferentiation should work OK, I also tried putting the gradients by hand</li> <li>costlist, mulist, siglist were added for debugging purposes</li> </ul> <p>So what I get is that the train function evaluates OK for the initial mu, sigma2, but right at step 2 where the mu, sigma2 are updated as per the gradients, the train function seems to backfire by giving either crazy numbers or nan:s...</p> <p>I compared the result with exact MLE and also minimization by scipy.optimize.minimize, which both work just fine. I think the problem is somewhere in the "loghood" above, but I just can't figure it out...</p> <p><strong>So can anyone please figure out where the code goes wrong?</strong></p>

As each iteration of your loop depend on the previous one, you can't paralelize your iterations completly. You could parallelize the <code>u=data[t]</code> as it don't depend on the previous x. You could parallelize <code>dot( Win, vstack((1,u)) )</code> for the same reason. But you can't parallelize <code>dot(W,x)</code> and what depend on it like tanh and the lines afters.</p>\n\n<p>If you want to optimize this, you can move outside the loop all computation that don't depend on x. This will allow to work with more data at the same time and so could be faster. So the <code>dot(win, ...)</code> could be speed up. But this will raise the memory usage.</p>\n" } ]

Theano Classification Task always gives 50% validation error and test error?
<p>I am doing a text classification experiment with Theano's DBN (Deep Belief Network) and SDA (Stacked Denoising Autoencoder) examples. I have produced a feature/label dataset just as Theano's MINST dataset is produced and changed the feature length and output values of those examples to adopt to my dataset (2 outputs instead of 10 outputs, and the number of features is adopted to my dataset). Every time i run the experiments (both DBN and SDA) i get an exact 50% validation error and test error. Do you have any ideas what i'm doing wrong? because i have just produced a dataset out of Movie Review Dataset as MINST dataset format and pickled it.</p> <p>my code is the same code you can find in <a href="http://www.deeplearning.net/tutorial/DBN.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.deeplearning.net/tutorial/DBN.html</a> and my SDA code is the same code you can find in <a href="http://www.deeplearning.net/tutorial/SdA.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.deeplearning.net/tutorial/SdA.html</a></p> <p>The only difference is that i have made my own dataset instead of MINST digit recognition dataset. My dataset is Bag of Words features from Movie Review Dataset which of course has different number of features and output classes so i just have made tiny modifications in function parameters number of inputs and output classes. The code runs beautifully but the results are always 50%. This is a sample output:</p> <pre></pre> <p>The pretraining code for file DBN_MovieReview.py ran for 430.33m</p> <pre></pre> <p>The fine tuning code for file DBN_MovieReview.py ran for 5.48m</p> <p>I ran both SDA and DBN with two different feature sets.

Python Memory Error with Python pkl files
<p>I'm using a python library for deep learning and neural networks. The computer i'm running on has 16 gb of ram@1866 MHz. At first my input data file was too large, so I broke it smaller:</p> <p></p> <p>caused:</p> <p></p> <p>Since the file was just an numpy array of numpy arrays, I could break it into seperate files, and would recreate the larger file dynamically in the program by loading numerous pickle files.</p> <p></p> <p>And this solution worked fine. <strong>My problem is</strong> that now I have an enourmous file that is causing a that I don't know how to break up further. It is a theano tensor variable representing a 30,000x30,000 matrix of floating point numbers. My questions:</p> <ol> <li>Is there a method to save something across multiple pkl files even if you are unsure of how to divide the underlying data structure?</li> <li>Will running this on our labs server (48 gb) work better? Or is this memory error independent of the architecture?</li> <li>Is the huge pkl file I have now that is too large to use worthless? I hope not, it was around 8 hours of neural network training.</li> <li>Are there any other solutions besides using a database that anyone can think of? If at all possible, I would strongly prefer to <strong>not</strong> use databases because I've already had to transfer the software to numerous servers, many of which I do not have root access to and is a pain to get other things installed.</li> </ol>

You can use <code>get_value(borrow=True)</code> to don't copy this.</p>\n\n<p>Both of those change together could lower the memory usage by 3x.

Deterministic variables and a Fortran Scipy function in PyMC 3
<p>I am trying to build a simple PyMC 3 model in which I estimate two cut points and a correlation parameter in a latent bivariate Gaussian density, producing four predicted probabilities for a vector of (multinomial) counts. (This will, I hope, eventually be part of a larger model in which these and other parameters are estimated for a number of latent multivariate Gaussian densities.)</p> <p>So, I want to model the cut points cx and cy as normal random variables and the correlation parameter rho as a scaled Beta random variable (as a side note, I'd love to hear a better way to deal with rho - does PyMC 3 have truncated normal random variables, for example?). And I want to use the function mvnun to calculate the predicted probabilities for given values of cx, cy, and rho. The function mvnun is part of scipy.stats.mvn, which is a bit of compiled Fortran code that has two functions for calculating very accurate multivariate normal CDF values.</p> <p>If I try to stick rho in a correlation matrix S or if I put cx or cy into arrays indicating the integration limits, I get this:</p> <pre></pre> <p>If I use fixed numerical values for cx, cy, and/or rho, mvnun works just fine (in or out of the 'with model:' block). I've been poking around, trying to figure out why the PyMC RVs cause this error, but I'm stumped. I gather that cx, cy, and rho are theano TensorVariables, but I can't figure out what, if anything, about theano TensorVariables would cause these problems.</p> <p>Is there a fundamental problem with trying to call a Fortran function with PyMC RVs as arguments? Or is my code flawed in some way? Both? Something else entirely?</p> <p>I'm new to PyMC, and I installed PyMC 3 thinking it was the current version (I swear the note about it being the alpha version wasn't there when I installed it a few weeks ago). Perhaps I should install 2.3 and figure out how to put this together with that?</p> <p>In any case, any advice about how to fix things would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Here's my code:</p> <pre></pre>

Theano variables are not a kind of numpy array. Instead they <em>represent</em> a computation leading to a numpy array. </p>\n\n<p>You'll need to make mvncdf into a Theano operator (theano analog of a numpy function).

Why does theano conv2d add empty dimension?
<p>I am playing around with some simple Theano code, and I ran into the following:</p> <pre></pre> <p>Result: (1, 91, 100)</p> <p>The result of a 2d convolution of 2d inputs is expected to be 2d, but it is actually 3d. Why?</p>

Matrices with different row lengths in numpy
<p>Is there a way of defining a matrix (say <em>m</em>) in numpy with rows of different lengths, but such that <em>m</em> stays 2-dimensional (i.e. m.ndim = 2)?</p> <p>For example, if you define <em>m = numpy.array([[1,2,3], [4,5]])</em>, then <em>m.ndim</em> = 1. I understand why this happens, but I'm interested if there is any way to trick numpy into viewing <em>m</em> as 2D. One idea would be padding with a dummy value so that rows become equally sized, but I have lots of such matrices and it would take up too much space. The reason why I really need <em>m</em> to be 2D is that I am working with Theano, and the tensor which will be given the value of <em>m</em> expects a 2D value.</p>

Variable-length tensors in Theano
<p>This question refers to best practices in Theano. Here is what I am trying to do:</p> <p>I am building a neural network for an SMT system. In this context, I conceptually represent sentences as variable-length lists of words, and words as fixed-length lists of integers. Ideally, I would like to represent my corpus as a 3D tensor (first dimension = sentences in corpus, second dimension = words in sentence, third dimension = integer features in words). The difficulty is that sentences have variable length and, to my knowledge, tensors in Theano have the strict requirement that all lengths in one dimension must be the same.</p> <p>Solutions I have thought of include:</p> <ol> <li> Use padding with dummy words so that sentences become equally sized. But this means that whenever I iterate over a sentence, I need to include special code to discard the padding. <li> Represent the corpus as a vector of matrices. However, this makes it hard to work with certain functions. For instance, if I want to add up the representations of all the words in a sentence, I can't simply use *corpus.sum(axis=1)*. I would have to loop over sentences, do *sentence.sum(axis=0)*, and then gather the results into another tensor. </ol> <p>My question is: which of these alternatives are preferred, or is there a better one?</p>

It's what I do though it does mean passing around a separate vector of sentence lengths and masking certain results to eliminate the padding region when needed.</p>\n\n<p>In general, if you want to perform a consistent operation to all sentences then you'll usually get much better speed applying that operation to a single 3D tensor than sequentially to a series of matrices. This is especially true for operations running on a GPU.</p>\n\n<p>If you're using scan operations the speed differences will become even more magnified. You'll be better off scanning over a 3D tensor and operating on a per-word matrix in your step function that covers all (or a minibatch of) sentences. If needed, you may need to know which rows of that matrix are real data and which are padding. As an aside, I find that setting the first dimension of a 3D tensor to be the temporal/sequence position dimension helps when using scan, which always scans over the first dimension.</p>\n\n<p>Often, using the value zero as your padding value will result in the padding have no impact on your operations.</p>\n\n<p>The other option, looping over the sentences, would mean mixing Theano and Python code which can make some computations difficult or impossible. For example, getting the gradient of a cost function with respect to some parameters over a all (or batch) of your sentences may not be possible if the data is stored in lots of separate matrices.</p>\n" } ]

Typed Lists in Theano
<p>Consider the following machine translation problem. Let be a source sentence and be a target sentence. Both sentences are conceptually represented as lists of indices, where the indices correspond to the position of the words in the associated dictionaries. Example:</p> <pre></pre> <p>Note that and don't necessarily have the same length. Now let and be sets of such instances. In other words, they are a parallel corpus. Example:</p> <pre></pre> <p>Note that not all 's in have the same length. That is, sentences have variable numbers of words. <p> I am implementing a machine translation system in Theano, and the first design decision is what kind of data structures to use for and . From one of the answers posted on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24203451/matrices-with-different-row-lengths-in-numpy">Matrices with different row lengths in numpy</a> , I learnt that typed lists are a good solution for storing variable length tensors. <p> However, I realise that they complicate my code a lot. Let me give you one example. Say that we have two typed lists and and aim to calculate the negative loss likelihood. If they were regular tensors, a simple statement like this would suffice:</p> <pre></pre> <p>But can only be applied to tensors, so in case of typed lists I have to iterate over them and apply the function separately to each element:</p> <pre></pre> <p>On top of making my code more and more messy, these problems propagate. For instance, if I want to calculate the gradient of the loss, the following doesn't work anymore:</p> <pre></pre> <p>I don't know exactly why it doesn't work. I'm sure it has to do with the type of , but I am not interested in investigating any further how I could make it work.

Does Theano support variable split?
<p>In my Theano program, I want to split the tensor matrix into two parts, with each of them making different contributions to the error function. Can anyone tell me whether automatic differentiation support this?</p> <p>For example, for a tensor matrix variable M, I want to split it into M1=M[:300,] and M2=M[300:,], then the cost function is defined as 0.5* M1 * w + 0.8*M2*w. Is it still possible to get the gradient with T.grad(cost,w)? </p> <p>Or more specifically, I want to construct an Autoencoder with different features having different weights in contribution to the total cost. </p> <p>Thanks for anyone who answers my question.</p>

Does Theano do automatic unfolding for BPTT?
<p>I am implementing an RNN in Theano and I have difficulties training it. It doesn't even come near to memorising the training corpus. My mistake is most likely caused by me not understanding exactly how Theano copes with backpropagation through time. Right now, my code is as simple as it gets:</p> <pre></pre> <p>My question is: given that my network is recurrent, does this automatically do the unfolding of the architecture into a feed-forward one? On one hand, <a href="https://github.com/gwtaylor/theano-rnn/blob/master/rnn_minibatch.py" rel="noreferrer">this</a> example does exactly what I am doing. On the other hand, <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/theano-users/RAfkjvI2CEU" rel="noreferrer">this</a> thread makes me think I'm wrong.</p> <p>In case it does do the unfolding for me, how can I truncate it? I can see that there is a way, from the <a href="http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/library/scan.html" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> of , but I can't come up with the code to do it.</p>

When you do updates, you simply pass the gradient w.r.t. W, W_in, and W_out, respectively (remember that y is connected to those three via the <code>step</code> function! This is how the gradient magic works).</p>\n\n<p>If you had multiple W layers (or indexes into one big W, as I believe gwtaylor is doing), then that would create multiple layers of \"unfolding\". From what I understand, this network only looks 1 step backward in time. If it helps, <a href=\"https://github.com/lmjohns3/theano-nets\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">theanonets</a> also has an RNN implementation in Theano.</p>\n\n<p>As an additional note, training RNNs with BPTT is <em>hard</em>. <a href=\"http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~ilya/pubs/ilya_sutskever_phd_thesis.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Ilya Sutskever's dissertation</a> discusses this at great length - if you can, try to tie into a <a href=\"https://github.com/boulanni/theano-hf\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Hessian Free optimizer, there is also a reference RNN implementation here</a>.

Defining a gradient with respect to a subtensor in Theano

Here are the relevant parts of my code:</p> <pre></pre> <p>(here codes and dicts are shared tensor variables). Theano is unhappy with this, specifically with defining</p> <pre></pre> <p>The error message I'm getting is: <em>theano.gradient.DisconnectedInputError: grad method was asked to compute the gradient with respect to a variable that is not part of the computational graph of the cost, or is used only by a non-differentiable operator: Subtensor{int64}.0</em></p> <p>I'm guessing that it wants a symbolic variable instead of codes[idx]; but then I'm not sure how to get everything connected to get the intended effect.
