Engression - Pytorch

The engression loss (energy score) proposed by Shen et al. for distributional regression with a few convenient wrappers, in Pytorch.

The paper's original code by Xinwei Shen is available here.

Install

pip install engression-pytorch

Usage

import torch
from engression_pytorch import EnergyScoreLoss, gConcat

x = torch.randn(batch_size, input_dim)
y = torch.randn(batch_size, out_dim)
preds = torch.randn(batch_size, m, out_dim)

g = gConcat(
    model = model,
    noise_dim = 100,
    noise_type = 'normal',
    noise_scale = 1.0,
    m_train = 2, 
    m_predict = 512,
)

g.train() # change m to m_train
preds = g(x) # (batch_size, m_train, output_dim)

# loss = energy_score(y, preds, beta = 1.0, p = 2)
loss = EnergyScoreLoss(beta = 1.0, p = 2)(y, preds)
loss.backward()

g.eval() # changes m to m_predict
sample = g(x) # (batch_size, m_eval, output_dim)

Todos

• better name for gConcat
• test with multidim Xs?
