hadamard-transform 0.1.3

Fast Walsh–Hadamard Transform (FWHT) in PyTorch

hadamard-transform

A Fast Walsh–Hadamard Transform (FWHT) implementation in PyTorch.

Installation

Install this library using pip:

pip install hadamard-transform

Usage

For the Basic normalized fast Walsh–Hadamard transform, use:

import torch
from hadamard_transform import hadamard_transform

x = torch.rand(2 ** 10, dtype=torch.float64)
y = hadamard_transform(x)
assert torch.allclose(
    hadamard_transform(y),
    x
)

Since the transform is not numerically-stable, it is recommended to use float64 when possible.

The input is either a vector or a batch of vectors where the first dimension is the batch dimension. Each vector's length is expected to be a power of 2!

This package also includes a pad_to_power_of_2 util, which appends zeros up to the next power of 2 if needed.

In some common cases, we use the randomized Hadamard transform, which randomly flips the axes:

import torch
from hadamard_transform import randomized_hadamard_transform, inverse_randomized_hadamard_transform

prng = torch.Generator(device='cpu')
x = torch.rand(2 ** 10, dtype=torch.float64)
seed = prng.seed()
y = randomized_hadamard_transform(x, prng),
assert torch.allclose(
    inverse_randomized_hadamard_transform(y, prng.manual_seed(seed)),
    x)

This package also includes hadamard_transform_, randomized_hadamard_transform_, and inverse_randomized_hadamard_transform_. These are in-place implementations of the previous methods. They can be useful when approaching memory limits.

See additional usage examples in tests/test_hadamard_transform.py.
