Open API to/fro routes, models, and tests. Convert between docstrings, classes, methods, argparse, and SQLalchemy.

Public SDK works with filenames, source code, and even in memory constructs (e.g., as imported into your REPL).

Purpose

This was created to aid in the ml_params project. It exposes an @abstractclass which is implemented [officially] by more than 8 projects.

Its def train(self, <these>) has a potentially large number of arguments. Additionally, there is a def train_c(self, config), which accepts an instance of a Config class, or a dictionary. Finally: ml_params defines a CLI interface.

With current tooling there is no way to know:

• What arguments can be provided to train
• What CLI arguments are available
• What 'shape' the Config takes

Some of these problems can be solved dynamically, however in doing so one loses developer-tool insights. There is no code-completion, and likely the CLI parser won't provide you with the enumeration of possibilities.

Example (REPL)

To create a class from tf.keras.optimizers.Adam:

>>> from cdd.source_transformer import to_code

>>> from cdd import emit, parse

>>> import tensorflow as tf

>>> from typing import Optional

>>> print(to_code(emit.class_(parse.class_(tf.keras.optimizers.Adam,
                                           merge_inner_function="__init__"),
                              class_name="AdamConfig")))


class AdamConfig(object):
    """
    Optimizer that implements the Adam algorithm.

    Adam optimization is a stochastic gradient descent method that is based on
    adaptive estimation of first-order and second-order moments.

    According to
    [Kingma et al., 2014](http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6980),
    the method is "*computationally
    efficient, has little memory requirement, invariant to diagonal rescaling of
    gradients, and is well suited for problems that are large in terms of
    data/parameters*".


    Usage:

    >>> opt = tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=0.1)
    >>> var1 = tf.Variable(10.0)
    >>> loss = lambda: (var1 ** 2)/2.0       # d(loss)/d(var1) == var1
    >>> step_count = opt.minimize(loss, [var1]).numpy()
    >>> # The first step is `-learning_rate*sign(grad)`
    >>> var1.numpy()
    9.9

    Notes:

    The default value of 1e-7 for epsilon might not be a good default in
    general. For example, when training an Inception network on ImageNet a
    current good choice is 1.0 or 0.1. Note that since Adam uses the
    formulation just before Section 2.1 of the Kingma and Ba paper rather than
    the formulation in Algorithm 1, the "epsilon" referred to here is "epsilon
    hat" in the paper.

    The sparse implementation of this algorithm (used when the gradient is an
    IndexedSlices object, typically because of `tf.gather` or an embedding
    lookup in the forward pass) does apply momentum to variable slices even if
    they were not used in the forward pass (meaning they have a gradient equal
    to zero). Momentum decay (beta1) is also applied to the entire momentum
    accumulator. This means that the sparse behavior is equivalent to the dense
    behavior (in contrast to some momentum implementations which ignore momentum
    unless a variable slice was actually used).

Advantages

• CLI gives proper --help messages
• IDE and console gives proper insights to function, and arguments, including on type
• class–based interface opens this up to clean object passing
• @abstractmethod can add—remove, and change—as many arguments as it wants; including required arguments; without worry
• Verbosity of output removes the magic. It's always clear what's going on.
• Outputting regular code means things can be composed and extended as normally.

Disadvantages

• You have to run a tool to synchronise your: docstring(s), config class(es), and argparse augmenting function.
• Duplication (but the tool handles this)

Alternatives

• Dynamic code generation, e.g., with a singular interface for everything; so everything is in one place without duplication

Minor other use-cases this facilitates

• Switch between having types in the docstring and having the types inline (PEP484–style))
• Switch between docstring formats (to/from {numpy, ReST, google})
• Desktop GUI with wxWidgets, from the argparse layer through Gooey [one liner]
