Deki

Deki is a library is to create beautiful interative visuals to understand your optimizer better, because seeing is believing!

And the best part, it is extremely simple to use! Just a few steps and you'll find your visuals ready to be played with.

Installation

$ pip install deki

Usage

Deki works by taking in torch.optim.Optimizer classes and a configuration dictionary for the hyperparameters and other keyword arguments, like in the example below 🔻

from torch.optim import SGD
from deki import Rosenbrock

optimiser = SGD
optimiser_state = {"lr":1E-3}
steps = 1000

Rosenbrock.plot((optimiser, optimiser_state), steps)

Rosenbrock Plot with SGD

Custom Optimizer

Just like its mentioned above, any PyTorch optimizer class can be used as long as its required keyword args can be passed in a dict. In conclusion, Deki can handle your custom optimizers, so build away!

from torch.optim import Optimizer
from deki import Rosenbrock

class MySpecialOptimizer(Optimizer):
    ...

optimizer = MySpecialOptimizer
optimiser_state = {"lr":1E-3}
steps = 1000

Rosenbrock.plot((optimiser, optimiser_state), steps)

Custom Test Function

Not only this, Deki also manages to make its Visualizer general so you can implement your custom test functions super easily, just like in the following manner 🔻

import torch
from torch.optim import SGD
from deki import Visualizer

# you can define any function as long as it takes a X
# wherein X will be torch Tensor tuple of x,y
def my_special_test_function (X : Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]):
    x, y = X

    # as an example we will return the sphere function
    # use only torch ops to maintain differentiability
    return torch.pow(x, 2) + torch.pow(y, 2)

# Define the object for the Visualizer class
# For supported functions, such objects come pre-defined in deki
visualizer = Visualizer( my_special_test_function, 
                         x_range = (-2,2),
                         y_range = (-2,2),
                         minima  = (0, 0),
                         start   = (-1.5, 1)
                        )

# Now call the plot function with the optimizer to get the plot
visualizer.plot((SGD, {"lr":1E-3}), steps=1000)
