PyTensor is a Python library that allows one to define, optimize, and efficiently evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays. It provides the computational backend for PyMC.
Features
A hackable, pure-Python codebase
Extensible graph framework suitable for rapid development of custom operators and symbolic optimizations
Implements an extensible graph transpilation framework that currently provides compilation via C, JAX, and Numba
Contrary to PyTorch and TensorFlow, PyTensor maintains a static graph which can be modified in-place to allow for advanced optimizations
Getting started
import pytensor
from pytensor import tensor as pt
# Declare two symbolic floating-point scalars
a = pt.dscalar("a")
b = pt.dscalar("b")
# Create a simple example expression
c = a + b
# Convert the expression into a callable object that takes `(a, b)`
# values as input and computes the value of `c`.
f_c = pytensor.function([a, b], c)
assert f_c(1.5, 2.5) == 4.0
# Compute the gradient of the example expression with respect to `a`
dc = pytensor.grad(c, a)
f_dc = pytensor.function([a, b], dc)
assert f_dc(1.5, 2.5) == 1.0
# Compiling functions with `pytensor.function` also optimizes
# expression graphs by removing unnecessary operations and
# replacing computations with more efficient ones.
v = pt.vector("v")
M = pt.matrix("M")
d = a/a + (M + a).dot(v)
pytensor.dprint(d)
# Add [id A]
# ├─ ExpandDims{axis=0} [id B]
# │ └─ True_div [id C]
# │ ├─ a [id D]
# │ └─ a [id D]
# └─ dot [id E]
# ├─ Add [id F]
# │ ├─ M [id G]
# │ └─ ExpandDims{axes=[0, 1]} [id H]
# │ └─ a [id D]
# └─ v [id I]
f_d = pytensor.function([a, v, M], d)
# `a/a` -> `1` and the dot product is replaced with a BLAS function
# (i.e. CGemv)
pytensor.dprint(f_d)
# Add [id A] 5
# ├─ [1.] [id B]
# └─ CGemv{inplace} [id C] 4
# ├─ AllocEmpty{dtype='float64'} [id D] 3
# │ └─ Shape_i{0} [id E] 2
# │ └─ M [id F]
# ├─ 1.0 [id G]
# ├─ Add [id H] 1
# │ ├─ M [id F]
# │ └─ ExpandDims{axes=[0, 1]} [id I] 0
# │ └─ a [id J]
# ├─ v [id K]
# └─ 0.0 [id L]See the PyTensor documentation for in-depth tutorials.
