DiffKt - A Differentiable Programming Framework for Kotlin

What is DiffKt?

DiffKt is a general-purpose, functional, differentiable programming framework for Kotlin. It can automatically differentiate through functions of tensors, scalars, and user-defined types. It supports forward-mode and reverse-mode differentiation including Jacobian-vector and vector-Jacobian products, which can be composed for higher-order differentiation. It also supports differentiating against user-defined types using interfaces.

DiffKt also includes an early integration of ShapeTyping, an extensible compiler plugin for ahead-of-time tensor shape verification and inspection. With the ShapeTyping IntelliJ IDE plugin, users can even inspect tensor shapes and see tensor shape errors while in active development.

Getting Started

Dependency Installation

Currently there are two implementations that are supported for DiffKt. Follow the links below to install dependencies. It is recommended to use Homebrew as a package manager for macOS.

Fast Ops

GPU Ops

Gradle/JVM

To use DiffKt, use the following dependency to your build.gradle.kts file with the x.y.z version number.

dependencies {
    implementation("com.facebook.diffkt:x.y.z")
}

ShapeTyping

To use ShapeTyping, apply the plugin to your build.gradle.kts file

plugins {
   id("TODO")
   ...
}

And add the following dependencies

dependencies {
    implementation("TODO")
    implementation("TODO")
    ...
}

TODO: Instructions on downloading the IntelliJ

For more detailed instructions, please visit the ShapeTyping repository here. (TODO: link repository)

Building from the Source

Currently DiffKt building is supported on macOS as well as Ubuntu. Help is needed to support building on Windows. Build instructions can be found below:

Install on Mac

Install on Ubuntu

To build DiffKt from source files for UBUNTU, read INSTALL_UBUNTU.md

Kotlin Examples

Navigate to the kotlin folder from the repository root.

To run an example from the examples folder, use the command ./gradlew :examples:run -Ppackage=<package-name>. For instance, ./gradlew :examples:run -Ppackage=vector2 will run the vector2 example.

Kotlin Tests

Navigate to the kotlin folder from the repository root.

All tests should be run with the command ./gradlew test

To run specific tests, use the command ./gradlew :<subproject-name>:test --tests "<test-name>". For example, ./gradlew :api:test --tests "ReluTest".
