tensor-visualizer 0.1.0

A Jupyter widget for visualizing tensors as heatmaps.

Tensor Visualizer

This is a package to visualize tensor data in notebooks.

Install

pip install tensor-visualizer

Usage

You can use this widget in a notebook to visualize tensor data. The widget supports numpy ndarrays, PyTorch and Tensorflow tensors, as well as MLX tensors.

from tensor_visualizer import TensorVisualizer

# Visualize a 4-dimensional numpy array.
import numpy as np
data = np.random.randn(5, 10, 10, 10)
widget = TensorVisualizer(data)
widget

from tensor_visualizer import TensorVisualizer

# Visualize a 4-dimensional torch tensor.
import torch
data = torch.randn((5, 10, 10, 10))
widget = TensorVisualizer(data)
widget

You can name dimensions with the names argument:

TensorVisualizer(data, names=["batch", "channel", "height", "width"])

and label indices for the dimensions with the labels argument:

TensorVisualizer(
    data,
    names=["batch", "channel", "height", "width"],
    labels=[["b1", "b2", "b3"], ["ch1", "ch2"]]
)

By default the widget infers the color scale automatically from your data. To configure the color scale, you can set the scale_domain, scale_type, and scale_scheme properties:

# Set the scale domain to [1, 100], log scale,
# and use the viridis color scheme.
w = TensorVisualizer(data, scale_domain=[1, 100], scale_type="log", scale_scheme="viridis")
# You can also set it after creating the widget
w.scale_domain = [0, 1]

If you are using inferred scales, you can access the inferred scale properties with current_scale_domain, current_scale_type, and current_scale_scheme. These properties are available only after the widget has been shown.

You may use the permute argument the re-order the tensor dimensions in the visualization. For instance, permute=[2, 0, 1, 3] shows dimension 2 first, then dimension 0, 1, and 3. The last two dimensions are used in the heatmap.

Parameters

Name	Description
tensor	The tensor to visualize.
names	The names for dimensions in the tensor.
labels	Lists of labels for dimensions in the tensor.
default_views	Specify the default views for each dimension, supported options are: slice, small-multiples, min, max, and mean.
scale_domain	Specify the scale domain. If unspecified, the widget will infer the domain automatically.
scale_type	Specify the scale type (linear or log). The default is linear.
scale_scheme	Specify the scale color scheme. If unspecified, the widget will infer the scheme automatically.
permute	Permute the order of the tensor's dimensions.

Development

This project consists of a Svelte library for the frontend component, and Python code for the widget.

To setup for frontend development, run:

npm install
npm run dev

You'll get a development server (usually at http://localhost:5173) that hosts an demo page of the frontend component.

To build the frontend package, run:

npm run build

To build the Python package, run:

hatch build

To develop the widget, you can start a Jupyter Lab instance and load the example notebooks in the examples folder:

hatch run jupyter lab
