Introduction

pytorch-widedeep is based on Google's Wide and Deep Algorithm, adjusted for multi-modal datasets

In general terms, pytorch-widedeep is a package to use deep learning with tabular data. In particular, is intended to facilitate the combination of text and images with corresponding tabular data using wide and deep models. With that in mind there are a number of architectures that can be implemented with just a few lines of code. For details on the main components of those architectures please visit the repo.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install pytorch-widedeep

Quick start

Binary classification with the adult dataset using Wide and DeepDense and defaults settings.

Building a wide (linear) and deep model with pytorch-widedeep:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import torch
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from pytorch_widedeep import Trainer
from pytorch_widedeep.preprocessing import WidePreprocessor, TabPreprocessor
from pytorch_widedeep.models import Wide, TabMlp, WideDeep
from pytorch_widedeep.metrics import Accuracy
from pytorch_widedeep.datasets import load_adult


df = load_adult(as_frame=True)
df["income_label"] = (df["income"].apply(lambda x: ">50K" in x)).astype(int)
df.drop("income", axis=1, inplace=True)
df_train, df_test = train_test_split(df, test_size=0.2, stratify=df.income_label)

# Define the 'column set up'
wide_cols = [
    "education",
    "relationship",
    "workclass",
    "occupation",
    "native-country",
    "gender",
]
crossed_cols = [("education", "occupation"), ("native-country", "occupation")]

cat_embed_cols = [
    "workclass",
    "education",
    "marital-status",
    "occupation",
    "relationship",
    "race",
    "gender",
    "capital-gain",
    "capital-loss",
    "native-country",
]
continuous_cols = ["age", "hours-per-week"]
target = "income_label"
target = df_train[target].values

# prepare the data
wide_preprocessor = WidePreprocessor(wide_cols=wide_cols, crossed_cols=crossed_cols)
X_wide = wide_preprocessor.fit_transform(df_train)

tab_preprocessor = TabPreprocessor(
    cat_embed_cols=cat_embed_cols, continuous_cols=continuous_cols  # type: ignore[arg-type]
)
X_tab = tab_preprocessor.fit_transform(df_train)

# build the model
wide = Wide(input_dim=np.unique(X_wide).shape[0], pred_dim=1)
tab_mlp = TabMlp(
    column_idx=tab_preprocessor.column_idx,
    cat_embed_input=tab_preprocessor.cat_embed_input,
    continuous_cols=continuous_cols,
)
model = WideDeep(wide=wide, deeptabular=tab_mlp)

# train and validate
trainer = Trainer(model, objective="binary", metrics=[Accuracy])
trainer.fit(
    X_wide=X_wide,
    X_tab=X_tab,
    target=target,
    n_epochs=5,
    batch_size=256,
)

# predict on test
X_wide_te = wide_preprocessor.transform(df_test)
X_tab_te = tab_preprocessor.transform(df_test)
preds = trainer.predict(X_wide=X_wide_te, X_tab=X_tab_te)

# Save and load

# Option 1: this will also save training history and lr history if the
# LRHistory callback is used
trainer.save(path="model_weights", save_state_dict=True)

# Option 2: save as any other torch model
torch.save(model.state_dict(), "model_weights/wd_model.pt")

# From here in advance, Option 1 or 2 are the same. I assume the user has
# prepared the data and defined the new model components:
# 1. Build the model
model_new = WideDeep(wide=wide, deeptabular=tab_mlp)
model_new.load_state_dict(torch.load("model_weights/wd_model.pt"))

# 2. Instantiate the trainer
trainer_new = Trainer(model_new, objective="binary")

# 3. Either start the fit or directly predict
preds = trainer_new.predict(X_wide=X_wide, X_tab=X_tab)

Of course, one can do much more. See the Examples folder, the documentation or the companion posts for a better understanding of the content of the package and its functionalities.

Acknowledgments

This library takes from a series of other libraries, so I think it is just fair to mention them here in the README (specific mentions are also included in the code).

The Callbacks and Initializers structure and code is inspired by the torchsample library, which in itself partially inspired by Keras.

The TextProcessor class in this library uses the fastai's Tokenizer and Vocab. The code at utils.fastai_transforms is a minor adaptation of their code so it functions within this library. To my experience their Tokenizer is the best in class.

The ImageProcessor class in this library uses code from the fantastic Deep Learning for Computer Vision (DL4CV) book by Adrian Rosebrock.
