csnn 1.0.1

Nonlinear Progamming with CasADi

Neural Networks with CasADi

csnn is a package for creating symbolic neural networks in CasADi in a PyTorch-like API style.

---

Introduction

The package allows the creation of neural networks with the symbolic language offered by CasADi. This is done in a similar way to PyTorch. For example, the following code allows us to create an MLP with a hidden layer:

import casadi as cs
from csnn import set_sym_type, Linear, Sequential, ReLU

set_sym_type("SX")  # can set either MX or SX

net = Sequential[cs.SX]((
    Linear(4, 32),
    ReLU(),
    Linear(32, 1),
    ReLU()
))

batch = 2
input = cs.SX.sym("in", batch, 4)
output = net(input)
assert output.shape == (batch, 1)

pip install csnn

csnn has the following dependencies

• NumPy
