Swift for TensorFlow Deep Learning Library

Get a taste of protocol-oriented differentiable programming.

This repository hosts Swift for TensorFlow's deep learning library, available both as a part of Swift for TensorFlow toolchains and as a Swift package.

Usage

This library is being automatically integrated in Swift for TensorFlow toolchains. You do not need to add this library as a Swift Package Manager dependency.

Use Google Colaboratory

Open an empty Colaboratory now to try out Swift, TensorFlow, differentiable programming, and deep learning.

For detailed usage and troubleshooting, see Usage on the Swift for TensorFlow project homepage.

Define a model

Simply import TensorFlow to get the full power of TensorFlow.

import TensorFlow

let hiddenSize: Int = 10

struct Model: Layer {
    var layer1 = Dense<Float>(inputSize: 4, outputSize: hiddenSize, activation: relu)
    var layer2 = Dense<Float>(inputSize: hiddenSize, outputSize: hiddenSize, activation: relu)
    var layer3 = Dense<Float>(inputSize: hiddenSize, outputSize: 3, activation: identity)
    
    @differentiable
    func callAsFunction(_ input: Tensor<Float>) -> Tensor<Float> {
        return input.sequenced(through: layer1, layer2, layer3)
    }
}

Initialize a model and an optimizer

var classifier = Model()
let optimizer = SGD(for: classifier, learningRate: 0.02)
Context.local.learningPhase = .training
// Dummy data.
let x: Tensor<Float> = Tensor(randomNormal: [100, 4])
let y: Tensor<Int32> = Tensor(randomUniform: [100])

Run a training loop

One way to define a training epoch is to use the gradient(at:in:) function.

for _ in 0..<1000 {
    let 𝛁model = gradient(at: classifier) { classifier -> Tensor<Float> in
        let ŷ = classifier(x)
        let loss = softmaxCrossEntropy(logits: ŷ, labels: y)
        print("Loss: \(loss)")
        return loss
    }
    optimizer.update(&classifier, along: 𝛁model)
}

Another way is to make use of methods on Differentiable or Layer that produce a backpropagation function. This allows you to compose your derivative computation with great flexibility.

for _ in 0..<1000 {
    let (ŷ, backprop) = classifier.appliedForBackpropagation(to: x)
    let (loss, 𝛁ŷ) = valueWithGradient(at: ŷ) { ŷ in softmaxCrossEntropy(logits: ŷ, labels: y) }
    print("Model output: \(ŷ), Loss: \(loss)")
    let (𝛁model, _) = backprop(𝛁ŷ)
    optimizer.update(&classifier, along: 𝛁model)
}

Development

Requirements

• Swift for TensorFlow toolchain.
• An environment that can run the Swift for TensorFlow toolchains: Linux 18.04 or macOS with Xcode 10.
• Bazel. This can be installed manually or with Bazelisk. You will need a version supported by TensorFlow (between _TF_MIN_BAZEL_VERSION and _TF_MAX_BAZEL_VERSION as specified in tensorflow/configure.py).
• Python3 with numpy.

Building and testing

SwiftPM

$ swift build

$ swift test

CMake

Note: CMake support is experimental and under development.

In-tree builds are not supported. The instructions here expect CMake 3.16 or newer, although the minimum required version is 3.15.1. Older releases will not allow the use of the -B option to specific the build tree and require that you are in the location of the build tree (and the -B option and its argument are elided).

To enable CUDA support, run export TF_NEED_CUDA=1 before the steps below.

If swiftc is not in your PATH, you must specify the path to it using -D CMAKE_Swift_COMPILER=.

This will build X10 as part of the build. Ensure that you do not have the x10 modules in the toolchain that you are using to develop here.

cmake -B out -D BUILD_X10=YES -G Ninja -S swift-apis
cmake --build out

If you are not intending to develop X10, you can reduce the build times by using the bundled X10 in the toolchain using -D USE_BUNDLED_X10=YES -D USE_BUNDLED_CTENSORFLOW=YES:

cmake -B out -D BUILD_X10=YES -D USE_BUNDLED_CTENSORFLOW=YES -D USE_BUNDLED_X10=YES -G Ninja -S swift-apis
cmake --build out
