PyTorch code for ML algorithms for edge devices developed at Microsoft Research India.

Project description

Edge Machine Learning: Pytorch Library

This package includes PyTorch implementations of following algorithms and training techniques developed as part of EdgeML. The PyTorch graphs for the forward/backward pass of these algorithms are packaged as edgeml_pytorch.graph and the trainers for these algorithms are in edgeml_pytorch.trainer.

  1. Bonsai: edgeml_pytorch.graph.bonsai implements the Bonsai prediction graph. The three-phase training routine for Bonsai is decoupled from the forward graph to facilitate a plug and play behaviour wherein Bonsai can be combined with or used as a final layer classifier for other architectures (RNNs, CNNs). See edgeml_pytorch.trainer.bonsaiTrainer for 3-phase training.
  2. ProtoNN: edgeml_pytorch.graph.protoNN implements the ProtoNN prediction functions. The training routine for ProtoNN is decoupled from the forward graph to facilitate a plug and play behaviour wherein ProtoNN can be combined with or used as a final layer classifier for other architectures (RNNs, CNNs). The training routine is implemented in edgeml_pytorch.trainer.protoNNTrainer.
  3. FastRNN & FastGRNN: edgeml_pytorch.graph.rnn provides various RNN cells --- including new cells FastRNNCell and FastGRNNCell as well as UGRNNCell, GRUCell, and LSTMCell --- with features like low-rank parameterisation of weight matrices and custom non-linearities. Akin to Bonsai and ProtoNN, the three-phase training routine for FastRNN and FastGRNN is decoupled from the custom cells to enable plug and play behaviour of the custom RNN cells in other architectures (NMT, Encoder-Decoder etc.). Additionally, numerically equivalent CUDA-based implementations FastRNNCUDACell and FastGRNNCUDACell are provided for faster training. edgeml_pytorch.graph.rnn. edgeml_pytorch.graph.rnn.Fast(G)RNN(CUDA) provides unrolled RNNs equivalent to nn.LSTM and nn.GRU. edgeml_pytorch.trainer.fastmodel presents a sample multi-layer RNN + multi-class classifier model.
  4. S-RNN: edgeml_pytorch.graph.rnn.SRNN2 implements a 2 layer SRNN network which can be instantied with a choice of RNN cell. The training routine for SRNN is in edgeml_pytorch.trainer.srnnTrainer.
