Neural Modules with Adaptive Nonlinear Constraints and Efficient Regularization

NeuroMANCER v1.5.0

Neural Modules with Adaptive Nonlinear Constraints and Efficient Regularizations (NeuroMANCER) is an open-source differentiable programming (DP) library for solving parametric constrained optimization problems, physics-informed system identification, and parametric model-based optimal control. NeuroMANCER is written in PyTorch and allows for systematic integration of machine learning with scientific computing for creating end-to-end differentiable models and algorithms embedded with prior knowledge and physics.

⭐ Now available on PyPi! ⭐

New in v1.5.0

Now supports integration with PyTorch Lightning (https://lightning.ai/docs/pytorch/stable/), bringing:

• User workflow simplifications: zero boilerplate code and increased modularity
• Ability for user to define custom training logic easily
• Easy support for distributed GPU training
• Weights and Biases hyperparameter tuning

Please refer to the Lightning folder and its README.

New Colab Examples:

⭐ Various domain examples, such as system identification of building thermal dynamics, in NeuroMANCER

⭐ PyTorch lightning integration Examples

Features and Examples

Extensive set of tutorials can be found in the examples folder. Interactive notebook versions of examples are available on Google Colab! Test out NeuroMANCER functionality before cloning the repository and setting up an environment.

Installation

PIP Install (recommended)

Consider using a dedicated virtual environment (conda or otherwise) with Python 3.9+ installed.

pip install neuromancer

Example usage:

import torch
from neuromancer.system import Node

fun_1 = lambda x1, x2: 2.*x1 - x2**2
node_3 = Node(fun_1, ['y1', 'y2'], ['y3'], name='quadratic')
# evaluate forward pass of the node with dictionary input dataset
print(node_3({'y1': torch.rand(2), 'y2': torch.rand(2)}))

Manual Install

First clone the neuromancer package. A dedicated virtual environment (conda or otherwise) is recommended.

Note: If you have a previous neuromancer env it would be best at this point to create a new environment given the following instructions.

git clone -b master https://github.com/pnnl/neuromancer.git --single-branch

Create and activate virtual environment

conda create -n neuromancer python=3.10.4
conda activate neuromancer

Install neuromancer and all dependencies.

From top level directory of cloned neuromancer run:

pip install -e.[docs,tests,examples]

OR, for zsh users:

pip install -e.'[docs,tests,examples]'

See the pyproject.toml file for reference.

[project.optional-dependencies]
tests = ["pytest", "hypothesis"]
examples = ["casadi", "cvxpy", "imageio", "cvxpylayers"]
docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"]

Note on pip install with examples on MacOS (Apple M1)

Before CVXPY can be installed on Apple M1, you must install cmake via Homebrew:

brew install cmake

See CVXPY installation instructions for more details.

Conda install

Conda install is recommended for GPU acceleration.

❗️Warning: linux_env.yml, windows_env.yml, and osxarm64_env.yml are out of date. Manual installation of dependencies is recommended for conda.

Create environment & install dependencies

Ubuntu

conda env create -f linux_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer

Windows

conda env create -f windows_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer
conda install -c defaults intel-openmp -f

MacOS (Apple M1)

conda env create -f osxarm64_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer

Other (manually install all dependencies)

!!! Pay attention to comments for non-Linux OS !!!

conda create -n neuromancer python=3.10.4
conda activate neuromancer
conda install pytorch pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
## OR (for Mac): conda install pytorch -c pytorch
conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda install scipy numpy"<1.24.0" matplotlib scikit-learn pandas dill mlflow pydot=1.4.2 pyts numba
conda install networkx=3.0 plum-dispatch=1.7.3 
conda install -c anaconda pytest hypothesis
conda install cvxpy cvxopt casadi seaborn imageio
conda install tqdm torchdiffeq toml
## (for Windows): conda install -c defaults intel-openmp -f

Install NeuroMANCER package

From the top level directory of cloned neuromancer (in the activated environment where the dependencies have been installed):

pip install -e . --no-deps

Test NeuroMANCER install

Run pytest on the tests folder. It should take about 2 minutes to run the tests on CPU. There will be a lot of warnings that you can safely ignore. These warnings will be cleaned up in a future release.
