PGMax

PGMax implements general factor graphs for discrete probabilistic graphical models (PGMs), and hardware-accelerated differentiable loopy belief propagation (LBP) in JAX.

  • General factor graphs: PGMax supports easy specification of general factor graphs with potentially complicated topology, factor definitions, and discrete variables with a varying number of states.
  • LBP in JAX: PGMax generates pure JAX functions implementing LBP for a given factor graph. The generated pure JAX functions run on modern accelerators (GPU/TPU), work with JAX transformations (e.g. vmap for processing batches of models/samples, grad for differentiating through the LBP iterative process), and can be easily used as part of a larger end-to-end differentiable system.

See our blog post and companion paper for more details.

  • Incomplete documentation for add_factor

    Incomplete documentation for add_factor

    The documentation for add_factor currently says:

    log_potentials – Optional array of shape (num_val_configs,) or (num_factors, num_val_configs). If specified, it contains the log of the potential value for every possible configuration. If none, it is assumed the log potential is uniform 0 and such an array is automatically initialized.

    However, in order to use it one would need to know the order in which the factors should be specified. Could this be added to the documentation?

  • Test sanity check example using new interface and inference modules, and put together the first unit test

    Test sanity check example using new interface and inference modules, and put together the first unit test

    The unit test should run fast. One option is to cache new results. Another option is to just make the model really small.

    In the process, we should also:

    1. Deprecate the current contrib module and create a new examples directory to hold everything.
    2. Start figuring out what our user facing interface should look like.

  • FactorGraph supports any type of factors + runs specialized inference for ORFactors

    FactorGraph supports any type of factors + runs specialized inference for ORFactors

    In this PR we

    1. Redefine the factor graph abstraction by introducing factor types: factors in a graph are clustered in factor groups, which are grouped according to their factor types. See fg/graph.py
    2. Specify two types of factors: EnumerationFactor (this class already existed) and ORFactor (this new class inherits from the new LogicalFactor). Each Factor class must have its own methods to compile and concatenate Wirings for inference. See factors/enumeration.py and factors/logical.py.
    3. Make running inference in a graph agnostic to the current type of factors supported. New factors types can then be added without modifying graph.py.
    4. Implement a specialized inference for ORFactors (see pass_OR_fac_to_var_messages in factors/logical.py) and compare it with the existing one for EnumerationFactors in the unit test tests/factors/test_or.py

  • Variables refactor

    Variables refactor

    We update the way of representing variables. In particular:

    • We get rid of variables names, as welll as of the Variables and CompositeVariableGroup classes. A variable is now represented by a tuple (variable hash, variable num_states) In particular, a FactorGraph can then directly be instantiated asfg = graph.FactorGraph(variables=[hidden_variables, visible_variables]) Similarly, Factors are defined by directly passing the variables involved, as [hidden_variables[ii], visible_variables[jj]]
    • We rewrite NDVariableArray so that the user can access variables by relying on the use of numpy arrays. We also optimize some follow-up computations.

    Numba speedup for wiring + log potentials

    This PR is the continuation of https://github.com/vicariousinc/PGMax/pull/129 and part of our efforts to speed up the adding of FactorGroups and the wiring compilation.

    As https://github.com/vicariousinc/PGMax/pull/129 has moved most of the wiring computation to the FactorGroup level, we can now use numba for fast computation of these wirings

    As a result:

    • adding factors for the RBM exp takes 3s, building run_bp takes 1s
    • adding factors for the convor exp takes 2s, building run_bp takes 1s

    Currently, users have to manually create an array of all possible configs and a uniform potential, but it would be nice to do this behind-the-scenes in some easy way. Maybe we can make it so that if either of these is None during init, then we assume all possible configs or uniform potential respectively and automatically create these

  • Provide high-level syntax for creating factors

    Provide high-level syntax for creating factors

    One of the speed bottleneck in creating a FactorGraph is the time to create the variables_for_factors list, which is currently slow as we loop through the individual variables.

    However, in the case where all the variable groups are NDVarArr we can speed up this step a lot proposing a generic get_factors interface where the user would define the general rule for the factors and the corresponding list would be generated with numba.

    One options is to have a first argument which consists of variable groups for which we loop over dimensions, and a second argument which consists of variable groups for do not loop over, For, example get_factors({x:(i, j), y:(k, l)}, {z:(i+k, j+l)}) would mean

    factors = []
for i in range(x.shape[0]):
    for j in range(x.shape[1]):
        for k in range(y.shape[0]):
            for l in range(y.shape[1]): 
                factors.append((x[i, j], y[k, l], z[i+k, j+l]))

    Creating the vars_to_starts as a dictionnary mapping variable to int is expensive in the case where we have a lot of variables.

    Instead it could map a variable group to an array (in the case of a NDVariableArray) or a list (for a VariableDict)

    Breaking changes

    ⚠️ This release changes the high-level API as well as import paths ⚠️

    This release makes several major breaking changes to improve usability and efficiency of the package.

    1. Interacting with variables through VarGroup objects

    We no longer refer to variables by names, but instead directly interact with VarGroup objects. This change has several implications.

    • We no longer have a Variable class. Instead, we access individual variables by indexing into VarGroup objects.

    • FactorGraph can no longer be initialized with a dictionary of variable groups (as we no longer have names for variables). Instead, we initialize a FactorGraph by

    from pgmax import fgraph
fg = fgraph.FactorGraph(variable_groups=variable_groups)

    where variable_groups is either a VarGroup or a list of VarGroups.

    • We can directly construct Factor/FactorGroup using individual variables, and have a unified add_factors interface for adding Factors and FactorGroups to the FactorGraph.

    For example, we can create a PairwiseFactorGroup via:

    from pgmax import fgroup
pairwise_factors = fgroup.PairwiseFactorGroup(
    variables_for_factors=variables_for_factors,
    log_potential_matrix=log_potential_matrix,
)

    where variables_for_factors is a list of list of individual variables. And we can add factors to a FactorGraph fg by

    fg.add_factors(factors=factors)

    where factors can be individual Factor, individual FactorGroup, or a list of Factors and FactorGroups.

    • We access LBP results by indexing with VarGroup. For example, after running BP, we can get the MAP decoding for the VarGroup visible_variables via
    beliefs = bp.get_beliefs(bp_arrays)
map_states_visible = infer.decode_map_states(beliefs)[visible_variables]

    2. Efficient construction of FactorGroup

    We have implemented efficient construction of FactorGroup. Going forward, we always recommend constructing FactorGroup instead of individual Factor.

    3. Improved LBP interface

    We first create the functions used to run BP with temperature T via

    from pgmax import infer
bp = infer.BP(fg.bp_state, temperature=T)

    where bp contains functions that initialize or updates the arrays involved in LBP.

    We can initialize bp_arrays by

    bp_arrays = bp.init()

    apply log potentials, messages and evidence updates by

    bp_arrays = bp.update(
    bp_arrays=bp_arrays,
	log_potentials_updates=log_potentials_updates,
	ftov_msgs_updates=ftov_msgs_updates,
	evidence_updates=evidence_updates,
)

    and run bp for a certain number of iterations by

    bp_arrays = bp.run_bp(bp_arrays, num_iters=num_iters, damping=damping)

    Note that we can arbitrarily interleave bp.update with bp.run_bp, which allows flexible control over how we run LBP.

    4. Improved high-level module organization

    Now we have 5 main high-level modules, fgraph for factor graphs, factor for factors, vgroup for variable groups, fgroup for factor groups, and infer for LBP.
