PyTorch implementation of Bezier simplex fitting

pytorch-bsf

A PyTorch implementation of Bezier simplex fitting.

The Bezier simplex is a high-dimensional generalization of the Bezier curve. It enables us to model a complex-shaped point cloud as a parametric hyper-surface in high-dimensional spaces. This package provides an algorithm to fit a Bezier simplex to given data points. To process terabyte-scale data, this package supports distributed training, realtime progress reporting, and checkpointing on top of PyTorch Lightning and MLflow.

See the following papers for technical details.

Requirements

Python >=3.10, <3.13.

Quickstart

Download the latest Miniconda and install it. Then, install MLflow on your conda environment:

conda install -c conda-forge mlflow

Prepare data:

cat <<EOS > params.csv
1.00, 0.00
0.75, 0.25
0.50, 0.50
0.25, 0.75
0.00, 1.00
EOS
cat <<EOS > values.csv
0.00, 1.00
3.00, 2.00
4.00, 5.00
7.00, 6.00
8.00, 9.00
EOS

Run the following command:

mlflow run https://github.com/rafcc/pytorch-bsf \
  -P params=params.csv \
  -P values=values.csv \
  -P degree=3

which automatically sets up the environment and runs an experiment:

1. Download the latest pytorch-bsf into a temporary directory.
2. Create a new conda environment and install dependencies in it.
3. Run an experiment on the temporary directory and environment.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
params	path	required	The parameter data file, which contains input observations for training a Bezier simplex. The file must be of CSV (.csv) or TSV (.tsv). Each line in the file represents an input observation, corresponding to an output observation in the same line in the value data file.
values	path	required	The value data file, which contains output observations for training a Bezier simplex. The file must be of CSV (.csv) or TSV (.tsv). Each line in the file represents an output observation, corresponding to an intput observation in the same line in the parameter data file.
init	path	None	Load initial control points from a file. The file must be of pickled PyTorch (.pt), CSV (.csv), TSV (.tsv), JSON (.json), or YAML (.yml or .yaml). Either this option or --degree must be specified, but not both.
degree	int $(x \ge 1)$	None	Generate initial control points at random with specified degree. Either this option or --init must be specified, but not both.
fix	list[list[int]]	None	Indices of control points to exclude from training. By default, all control points are trained.
header	int $(x \ge 0)$	0	The number of header lines in params/values files.
normalize	"max", "std", "quantile"	None	The data normalization: "max" scales each feature as the minimum is 0 and the maximum is 1, suitable for uniformly distributed data; "std" does as the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1, suitable for nonuniformly distributed data; "quantile" does as 5-percentile is 0 and 95-percentile is 1, suitable for data containing outliers; None does not perform any scaling, suitable for pre-normalized data.
split_ratio	float $(0 < x < 1)$	0.5	The ratio of training data against validation data.
batch_size	int $(x \ge 0)$	0	The size of minibatch. The default uses all records in a single batch.
max_epochs	int $(x \ge 1)$	1000	The number of epochs to stop training.
accelerator	"auto", "cpu", "gpu", etc.	"auto"	Accelerator to use. See PyTorch Lightning documentation.
strategy	"auto", "dp", "ddp", etc.	"auto"	Distributed strategy. See PyTorch Lightning documentation.
devices	int $(x \ge -1)$	"auto"	The number of accelerators to use. By default, use all available devices. See PyTorch Lightning documentation.
num_nodes	int $(x \ge 1)$	1	The number of compute nodes to use. See PyTorch Lightning documentation.
precision	"64", "32", "16", "bf16"	"32"	The precision of floating point numbers.
loglevel	int $(0 \le x \le 2)$	2	What objects to be logged. 0: nothing; 1: metrics; 2: metrics and models.

Installation

pip install pytorch-bsf

Fitting via CLI

This package provides a command line interface to train a Bezier simplex with a dataset file.

Execute the torch_bsf module:

python -m torch_bsf \
  --params=params.csv \
  --values=values.csv \
  --degree=3

Fitting via Script

Train a model by fit(), and call the model to predict.

import torch
import torch_bsf

# Prepare training data
ts = torch.tensor(  # parameters on a simplex
    [
        [8 / 8, 0 / 8],
        [7 / 8, 1 / 8],
        [6 / 8, 2 / 8],
        [5 / 8, 3 / 8],
        [4 / 8, 4 / 8],
        [3 / 8, 5 / 8],
        [2 / 8, 6 / 8],
        [1 / 8, 7 / 8],
        [0 / 8, 8 / 8],
    ]
)
xs = 1 - ts * ts  # values corresponding to the parameters

# Train a model
bs = torch_bsf.fit(params=ts, values=xs, degree=3)

# Predict by the trained model
t = [
    [0.2, 0.8],
    [0.7, 0.3],
]
x = bs(t)
print(f"{t} -> {x}")
