hashtron 0.0.8

A Python inference-only engine for the hashtron binary classifier

Hashtron Network Implementation

This project implements a hashtron network with feedforward layers and combiners, including a 2D majority pooling layer. The network supports feedforward inference with hashtron-based classifiers but not training. For training, see the original golang version which is CPU and GPU (CUDA) optimized.

Modules

• datasets: Loader for demo datasets such as MNIST.
• hash: Implements fast modular hash function.
• hashtron: Implements the hashtron classifier which repeatedly calls the hash.
• layer: Defines layer and combiner interfaces, including a 2D majority pooling combiner layer.
• net: Implements the feedforward network and related utilities.

Usage

To use the network, create an instance of FeedforwardNetwork called e.g. net and add layers using net.new_layer, adding net.new_combiner in between layers. Load your model from ZLIB file using net.io.read_zlib_weights_from_file(file_name). Use net.network.infer(input_number_or_sample) to perform inference.

Examples

pip install hashtron

from hashtron.net.feedforward.net import Net
from hashtron.layer.majpool2d.layer import MajPool2DLayer
from hashtron.datasets.mnist.mnist import MNISTDataset
import urllib.request
import tempfile
import os

# Specify network size
fanout1 = 3
fanout2 = 5
fanout3 = 3
fanout4 = 5
# Create a Hashtron network (MNIST handwritten digits net)
tron = Net.new()
tron.new_layer(fanout1*fanout2*fanout3*fanout4, 0, 1<<fanout4)
tron.new_combiner(MajPool2DLayer(fanout1*fanout2*fanout4, 1, fanout3, 1, fanout4, 1, 1))
tron.new_layer(fanout1*fanout2, 0, 1<<fanout2)
tron.new_combiner(MajPool2DLayer(fanout2, 1, fanout1, 1, fanout2, 1, 1))
tron.new_layer(1, 0)
# load weights from zlib file
filename = os.path.expanduser('~/classifier/cmd/train_mnist/output.77.json.t.zlib')
if os.path.exists(filename):
    ok = tron.io.read_zlib_weights_from_file(filename)
else:
    # load online model weights zlib file
    with urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.hashtron.cloud/dl/mnist/output.77.json.t.zlib') as f:
        with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=True) as dst_file:
            data = f.read()
            dst_file.write(data)
            ok = tron.io.read_zlib_weights_from_file(dst_file.name)

if not ok:
    raise Exception('model weights were not loaded')

# test the datasets
for i in range(2):
    # load offline then online mnist
    try:
        dataset = MNISTDataset(True, i == 0)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        dataset = MNISTDataset(True, i == 0, MNISTDataset.download())
    
    correct = 0
    for sample in dataset:
        pred = tron.network.infer(sample).feature(0) & 1
        actual = sample.output().feature(0) & 1
        if pred == actual:
            correct+=1
    print(100 * correct // len(dataset), '% on', len(dataset), 'MNIST samples')

Summary

This Python translation maintains the structure and functionality of the original Go code, adapting Go-specific features to Python equivalents. The translation includes classes for hash functions, hashtron classifiers, layers, and a feedforward network, along with unit tests and a README for documentation.
