1.0.0-alpha - 2022-06-14

With this release we introduce breaking changes that bring significant improvements to the project's structure, API and performance.

It would be difficult and confusing to list every single API change. Instead, the following sections will broadly describe the most relevant changes, arranged by topic.

Project structure

Until this release, the project was essentially a monorepo in disguise: the core packages for handling matrices and computational graphs were accompanied by many models implementations (from the very simple up to the most sophisticated ones) and commands (models management utilities and servers).

We now prefer to keep in this very repository only the core components of spaGO, only enriched with an (opinionated) set of popular models and functionalities. Bigger sub-packages and related commands are moved to separate repositories. The moved content includes, most notably, code related to Transformers and Flair. Please refer to the section Projects using Spago from the README for an updated list of references to separate projects (note: some of them are still work in progress). If you have the feeling that something big is missing in spaGO, chances are it was moved to one of these separate projects: just have a look there first.

The arrangement of packages has been simplified: there's no need anymore to distinguish between cmd and pkg; all the main subpackages are located in the project's root path. Similarly, many packages, previously nested under pkg/ml, can now be found at root level too.

Go version and dependencies

The minimum required Go version is 1.18, primarily needed for the introduction of type parameters (generics).

Thanks to the creation of separate projects, discussed above, and further refactoring, the main set of required dependencies is limited to the ones for testing.

Only the subpackage embeddings/store/diskstore requires something more, so we defined it as "opt-in" submodule, with its own dependencies.

float32 vs. float64

Instead of separate packages mat32 and mat64, there is now a single unified package mat. Many parts of the implementation make use of type parameters (generics), however the package's public API makes a rather narrow use of them.

In particular, we abstained from adding type parameters to widely-used types, such as the Matrix interface. Where suitable, we are simply favoring float64 values, the de-facto preferred floating point type in Go (just think about Go math package). For other situations, we introduced a new subpackage mat/float. It provides simple types, holding either float32 or float64 values, as scalars or slices, and makes it easy to convert values between different precisions, all without making explicit use of generics. This design prevents the excessive spreading of type arguments to tons of other types that need to manipulate matrices, bot from other spaGO packages and from your own code.

Matrices

  • The type mat.Matrix is the primary interface for matrices and vectors throughout the project.
  • The type mat.Dense is the concrete implementation for a dense matrix. Unlike the interface, it has a type argument to distinguish between float32 and float64.
  • We removed implementation and support for sparse matrices, since their efficacy and utility were marginal. A better implementation might come back in the future.
  • A new dense matrix can be created "from scratch" by calling one of the several functions mat.New*** (NewDense, NewVecDense, ...). Here you must choose which data type to use, specifying it as type parameter (unless implicit).
  • Once you have an existing matrix, you can create new instances preserving the same data type of the initial one: simply use one of the New*** methods on the matrix instance itself, rather than their top-level function counterparts.
  • Any other operation performed on a matrix that creates a new instance will operate with the same type of the receiver, and returns an instance of that type too.
  • Operations with matrices of different underlying data types are allowed, just beware the memory and computation overheads introduced by the necessary conversions.

Auto-grad package

  • The package ag now implicitly works in "define-by-run" mode only. It's way more performant compared to the previous releases, and there would be no significant advantage in re-using a pre-defined graph ("define-and-run").
  • There is no Graph anymore! At least, not as a first citizen: an implicit "virtual" graph is progressively formed each time an operation over some nodes is applied. The virtual graph can be observed by simply walking the tree of operations. Most methods of the former Graph are now simple functions in the ag package.
  • We still provide a way to explicitly "free" some resources after use, both for helping the garbage collector and for returning some objects to their sync.Pool. The function ag.ReleaseGraph operates on the virtual graph described above, usually starting from the given output nodes.
  • Forward operations are executed concurrently. As soon as an Operator is created (usually by calling one of the functions in ag, such as Add, Prod, etc.), the related Function's Forward procedure is performed on a new goroutine. Nevertheless, it's always safe to ask for the Operator's Value without worries: if it's called too soon, the function will lock until the result is computed, and only then return the value.
  • To maximize performance, we removed the possibility to set a custom limit for concurrent computations. Thanks to the new design, we now let the Go runtime itself manage this problem for us, so that you can still limit and finetune concurrency with the GOMAXPROCS variable.
  • The implementation of backpropagation is also redesigned and improved. Instead of invoking the backward procedure on an explicit Graph, you can call ag.Backward or ag.BackwardMany, specifying the output node (or nodes) of your computation (such as loss values, in traditional scenarios). The backward functions traverse the virtual graph and propagate the gradients, leveraging concurrency and making use of goroutines and locks in a way that's very similar to the forward procedure. The backward functions will lock and wait until the whole gradients propagation is complete before returning. The locking mechanism implemented in the nodes' Grad methods, will still prevent troubles in case your own code reads the gradients concurrently (that would be very uncommon).
  • We also modified the implementation of time-steps handling and truncated backpropagation. Since we don't have the support of a concrete Graph structure anymore, we introduced a new dedicated type ag.TimeStepHandler, and related functions, such as NodeTimeStep. For performing a truncated backpropagation, we provide the function ag.BackwardT and ag.BackwardManyT: they work similarly to the normal backpropagation functions described above, only additionally requiring a time-step handler and the desired amount of back steps.
  • We simplified and polished the API for creating new node-variables. Instead of having multiple functions for simple variables, scalars, constants, with/without name or grads, and various combination of those, you can now create any new variable with ag.Var, which accepts a Matrix value and creates a new node-variable with gradients accumulation disabled by default. To enable gradients propagation, or setting an explicit name (useful for model params or constants), you can use the Variable's chainable methods WithGrad and WithName. As a shortcut to create a scalar-matrix variable you can use ag.Scalar.
  • The package ag/encoding provides generic structures and functions to obtain a sort of view of a virtual graph, with the goal of facilitating the encoding/marshaling of a graph in various formats. The package ag/encoding/dot is a rewriting of the former pkg/ml/graphviz, that uses the ag/encoding structures to represent a virtual graph in Graphviz DOT format.

Models

  • As before, package nn provides types and functions for defining and handling models. Its subpackages are implementations of most common models. The set of built-in models has been remarkably revisited, moving some of them to separate projects, as previously explained.
  • The Model interface has been extremely simplified: it only requires the special empty struct Module to be embedded in a model type. This is necessary only to distinguish an actual model from any other struct, which is especially useful for parameters traversal, or other similar operations.
  • Since the Graph has been removed from ag, the models clearly don't need to hold a reference to it anymore. Similarly, there is no need for any other model-specific field, like the ones available from the former BaseModel. This implies the elimination of some seldomly used properties. Notable examples are the "processing mode" (from the old Graph) and the time step (from the old BaseModel). In situations where a removed value or feature is still needed, we suggest to either reintroduce the missing elements on the models that needs them, or to extract them to separate types and functions. An example of extracted behavior is the handling of time steps, already mentioned in the previous section.
  • There is no distinction anymore between "pure" models and processors, making "reification" no longer necessary: once a model is created (or loaded), it can be immediately used, even for multiple concurrent inferences.
  • A side effect of removing processor instances is that it's not possible to hold any sort of state related to a specific inference inside the structure of a model (or, at least, it's discouraged in most situations). Keeping track of a state is quite common for models that work with a running "memory" or cache. The recommended approach is to represent the state as a separate type, so that the "old" state can be passed as argument to the model's forward function (along with any other input), and the "new" or updated state can be returned from the same function (along with any other output). Some good examples can be observed in the implementation of recurrent networks (RNNs), located at nn/recurrent/...: each model has a single-step forward function (usually called Next) that accepts a previous state and returns a new one.
  • We removed the Stack Model, in favor of a new simple function nn.Forward, that operates on a slice of StandardModel interfaces, connecting outputs to inputs sequentially for each module.
  • We introduced the new type nn.Buffer: it's a Node implementation that does not require gradients, but can be serialized just like any other parameter. This is useful, for example, to store constants, to track the mean and std in batch norm layers, etc. As a shortcut to create a Buffer with a scalar-matrix value you can use nn.Const.
  • We refactored the arguments of the parameters-traversal functions ForEachParam and ForEachParamStrict. Furthermore, the new interface ParamsTraverser allows to traverse a model's parameters that are not automatically discovered by the traversal functions via reflection. If a model implements this interface, the function TraverseParams will take precedence over the regular parameters visit.
  • We introduced the function Apply, which visits all sub-models of any Model. Typical usages of this function include parameters initialization.

Embeddings

  • The embeddings model has been refactored and made more flexible by splitting the new implementation into three main concerns: stores, the actual model, and the model's parameters.
  • Raw embeddings data can be read from, and perhaps written to, virtually any suitable medium, be it in-memory, on-disk, local or remote services or databases, etc. The Store interface, defined in package embeddings/store, only requires an implementation to implement a bunch of read/write functions for key/value pairs. Both keys and values are just slice of bytes. For example, in a typical scenario involving word embeddings, a key might be a string word converted to []byte, and the value the byte-marshaled representation of a vector (or a more complex struct also holding other properties).
  • It's not uncommon for a complex model, or application, to make use of more than one store. For a more convenient handling, multiple independent Stores can be organized together in a Repository, another interface defined in embeddings/store. A Repository is simply a provider for Stores, where each Store is identified by a string name. For example, if we are going to use a relational database for storing embeddings data, the Repository might establish the connection to the database, whereas each Store might identify a separate table by name, used for reading/writing data.
  • We provide two built-in implementations of Repository/Store pairs. The package embeddings/store/diskstore is a Go submodule that stores data on disk, using BadgerDB; this is comparable to the implementation from previous releases. The package embeddings/store/memstore is a simple volatile in-memory implementation; among other usages, it might be especially convenient for testing.
  • The package embeddings implements the main embeddings Model. One Model can read and write data to a single Store, obtained from a Repository by the configured name. The model delegates to the embeddings Store the responsibility to actually store the data; for this reason, the Store value on a Model is prevented from being serialized (this is done with the utility type embeddings/store.PreventStoreMarshaling).
  • To facilitate different use cases, the Model allows a limited set of possible key types, using the constraint Key as type argument.
  • The type Embedding represents a single embedding value that can be handled by a Model. It satisfies the interface nn.Param, allowing seamless integration with operations involving any other model. Behind the hood, the implementation takes care of reading/writing data against a Store, efficiently handling marshaling/unmarshaling and preventing race conditions. The Value and the Payload (if any) are read/written against the Store; the Grad is only kept in memory. All properties of different Embedding instances for the same key are kept synchronized upon changes.
  • A Model keeps track of all Embedding parameters with associated gradients. The method TraverseParams allows these parameters to be discovered and seen as if they were any other regular type of parameter. This is especially important for operations such as embeddings optimization.
  • It is a common practice to share the same embeddings among multiple models. In this case it is important that the serialized (and deserialized) instance is very same one. Therefore, we introduced the Shared structure that prevents binary marshaling.

Optimizers

  • Gradient descent optimization algorithms are available under the package gd, with minor API changes.
  • We removed other methods, such as differential evolution, planning to re-implement them on separate forthcoming projects.

Utilities

  • We removed the formed package pkg/utils. Some of its content was related to functionalities now moved to separate projects. Any remaining useful code has been refactored and moved to more appropriate places.

Changed

  • All UnaryElementwise functions provided by the package ag/fn have been promoted to separate dedicated structs. This improves debuggability and you can get appropriate function names when using reflection. Here is the full list of the modified functions: Tan, Tanh, Sigmoid, HardSigmoid, HardTanh, ReLU, Softsign, Cos, Sin, Exp, Log, Neg, Reciprocal, Abs, Mish, GELU, Sqrt, Swish. For the same reason, a dedicated Square function is introduced, replacing Prod with both operands set to the same value.
  • ml/ag types Operator, Variable, Wrapper are now public.
  • ml/nn.Reify() now expects a Graph and a Processing Mode arguments instead of a Context object (removed).
  • ml/nn.BaseModel has been modified, replacing the field Ctx Context with a direct reference to the model's Graph and the Processing Mode (fields G and ProcessingMode).
  • Refactoring server implementation of nlp/sequencelabeler, nlp/transformers/bert, and nlp/transformers/bart.
  • Upgrade various dependencies.
  • Regenerate protocol buffers files (with protoc-gen-go v1.26.0 and protoc v3.16.0).

Removed

  • nlp/sequencelabeler.Load() and LoadEmbeddings() (now replaced by nlp/sequencelabeler.LoadModel())
  • ml/nn.Context (see related changes on Reify() and BaseModel)

Fixed

  • Fix past key-values usage on self-attention and cross-attention

  • Add implementation of the Sentence-Piece tokenizer:
    • nlp.tokenizers.sentencepiece package.
  • BART improvements:
    • gRPC and HTTP API to perform Text Generation.
    • Add support for "Marian" architecture (used for translation tasks).
    • Add sinusoidal positional encoder (used by Marian).
    • Add "head" for conditional generation:
      • nlp.transformers.bart.head.conditionalgeneration package.
  • Add nn.Closer interface (e.g. embeddings.Model needs to close the underlying key-value store).
  • Add Swish act. function without trainable parameters.
  • Add SiLU act. function (it is just an alias for Swish).
  • New pe.SinusoidalPositionalEncoder (this implementation replaces unused pe.PositionalEncoder and pe.AxialPositionalEncoder)

Changed

  • Update urfave/cli to v2
  • Update dgraph-io/badger to v3.
  • Make the BART positional encoder an interface to support various encoding (i.e. trainable vs static).
  • Rename to fn.NewSwish into fn.NewSwishB as this was the Swish variant with trainable parameters (B).
  • Relax ag.GetOpName to match operator names in lower-case.
  • Allow arbitrary activation function on BART encoder/decoder layers.
  • Use precomputed "keys" and "values" in self-attention, multi-head attention and BART decoder.

Removed

0.4.1 - 2021-01-22

Added

  • New function ReleaseMatrix to packages mat32 and mat64.
  • New methods to Matrix interface, from mat32 and mat64: Minimum, Maximum, MulT, Inverse, DoNonZero. However, the implementation on sparse matrices is not implemented yet (it always panics).

Changed

  • Prefer handling Matrix interface values over specific Dense or Sparse matrices, also avoiding unnecessary type casts. Relevant changes to the public API are listed below.
    • mat(32|64).Stack function's arguments and returned value are now Matrix interfaces, instead of explicit Dense matrices.
    • Dense.Minimum and Dense.Maximum, from packages mat32 and mat64, return a Matrix interface, instead of a specific Dense type.
    • The return values of fofe.EncodeDense, fofe.Encode, and fofe.BiEncode are slices of Matrix values, instead of Dense or Sparse.
    • The z argument of the function fofe.Decode is of type Matrix, instead of Dense.
    • ml.optimizers.de (Differential Evolution optimizer) API was changed handling Matrix values, instead of specific Dense matrices. Changes include: Member.TargetVector, Member.DonorVector, ScoredVector.Vector, the vector argument of NewMember function, the solution argument of score and validate functions passed to NewOptimizer.
    • PositionalEncoder.Cache and AxialPositionalEncoder.Cache are slices of Matrix, instead of slices of Dense.
    • AxialPositionalEncoder.EncodingAt returns a Matrix value, instead of Dense.

  • ml.nn.recurrent.srnn.BiModel which implements a bidirectional variant of the Shuffling Recurrent Neural Networks ( SRNN).
  • Configurable timeout and request limit to all HTTP and gRPC servers (see also commands help).

Changed

  • All CLI commands implementation has been refactored, so that the docker-entrypoint can reuse all other cli.App objects, instead of just running separate executables. By extension, now the Dockerfile builds a single executable file, and the final image is way smaller.
  • All dependencies have been upgraded to the latest version.
  • Simplify custom error definitions using fmt.Errorf instead of functions from github.com/pkg/errors.
  • Custom binary data serialization of matrices and models is now achieved with Go's encoding.gob. Many specific functions and methods are now replaced by fewer and simpler encoding/decoding methods compatible with gob. A list of important related changes follows.
    • utils.kvdb.KeyValueDB is no longer an interface, but a struct which directly implements the former "badger backend".
    • utils.SerializeToFile and utils.DeserializeFromFile now handle generic interface{} objects, instead of values implementing Serializer and Deserializer.
    • mat32 and mat64 custom serialization functions (e.g. MarshalBinarySlice, MarshalBinaryTo, ...) are replaced by implementations of BinaryMarshaler and BinaryUnmarshaler interfaces on Dense and Sparse matrix types.
    • PositionalEncoder.Cache and AxialPositionalEncoder.Cache fields (from ml.encoding.pe package) are now public.
    • All types implementing nn.Model interface are registered for gob serialization (in init functions).
    • embeddings.Model.UsedEmbeddings type is now nlp.embeddings.syncmap.Map.
    • As a consequence, you will have to re-serialize all your models.
  • Flair converter now sets the vocabulary directly in the model, instead of creating a separate file.
  • sequencelabeler.Model.LoadParams has been renamed to Load.

Removed

  • In relation to the aforementioned gob serialization changes:
    • nn.ParamSerializer and related functions
    • nn.ParamsSerializer and related functions
    • utils.Serializer and utils.Deserializer interfaces
    • utils.ReadFull function
  • sequencelabeler.Model.LoadVocabulary

Fixed

  • docker-entrypoint sub-command hugging-face-importer has been renamed to huggingface-importer, just like the main command itself.
  • docker-entrypoint sub-command can be correctly specified without leading ./ or / when run from a Docker container.
  • BREAKING: mat32.Matrix serialization has been fixed, now serializing single values to chunks of 4 bytes (instead of 8, like float64). Serialized 32-bit models will now be half the size! Unfortunately you will have to re-serialize your models (sorry!).

0.3.0 - 2021-01-10

Added

  • Static analysis job (golint and gocyclo) to Go GitHub workflow.
  • You can set a limit for concurrent heavyweight Graph computations (e.g. forward and backward steps) - see ml.ag.ConcurrentComputations() (GraphOption) and ml.ag.Graph.ConcurrentComputations(). If no option is specified, by default the limit is set to runtime.NumCPU().
  • You can set a limit for concurrent heavyweight computations of ml.optimizers.gd.GradientDescent (e.g. params update step).
  • New package utils.processingqueue.
  • mat32 package, which operates on float32 data type.
  • It's possible to switch between float32 and float64 as default floating-point data type, using the script change-float-type.sh
  • Go GitHub workflow has been adapted to run tests using both float32 and float64 as main floating-point data type.
  • This CHANGELOG file.
  • Pull and convert Hugging Face models automatically if not found locally when starting BERT or BART server.
  • Move content from GitHub Wiki to README in related package folders.

Changed

  • ml.ag.ConcurrentComputations (GraphOption) expects the maximum number of concurrent computations handled by heavyweight Graph operations (e.g. forward and backward steps).
  • ml.nn.linear.Model and ml.nn.convolution.Model read the concurrent computations limit set on the model's Graph, thus SetConcurrentComputations() methods have been removed.
  • mat has been renamed to mat64 and some functions have been renamed.
  • The whole project now works with float32 floating-point data type by default, by using the package mat32.
  • When imported, the new package mat32 is always aliased as mat. Then, explicit usages of float64 type have been replaced with mat.Float. Moreover, bitsize-specific functions have been made more generic (i.e. operating with mat.Float type) or split into separate implementation, in mat32 and mat64. In this way, switching the whole project between float32 and float64 is just a matter of changing all imports, from mat32 to mat64, or vice-versa (see also the new file change-float-type.sh).
  • Update internal links to pre-trained NER models to float32 versions.
  • nlp.sequencelabeler.Convert() now loads and converts original Flair models, instead of pre-processed dumps.
  • Change command line arguments to make them more consistent; please refer to the help messages of each command.
  • Update Dockerfile using a new base building image and adding bart server.

Fixed

  • Added dedicated package names to different protocol buffers definition files to avoid name conflicts.

0.2.0 - 2020-12-31

Added

  • Support for BART model (tested on Natural Language Inference task).
  • BART API to perform Zero-Shot Text Classification.

Changed

  • Significant reduction of boilerplate code through the unification of nn.Model and nn.Processor interfaces:
    • there is now a single nn.Model interface that can be reified to become a neural processor - see nn.Reify();
    • there was no compelling reason to have a Forward method in the nn.Model interface, so it has been removed, gracefully increasing flexibility in the implementation of a model.

0.1.0 - 2020-12-09

First tagged release!
