About Spline-based-DeepLearning

bugs

• reshaping a CTensor after performing operations on it may break the gradient calculation!

Table of contents

goals

C++ spline documentation

C++ CTensor documentation

python spline documentation

New:

• python version of the spline and layer classes

see install for python to install

• batch compatibility for layers

• CTensor class (tensor class with automatic computation graph and gradient propagation)

• python version for CTensor

documentation was not yet updated some features might have changed and new features were added

updates will follow soon

goals

1. create visual representations for neural networks by replacing commonly used fully connected layers with spline based layers.
2. achieve similar or better precision to common deep learning approaches whilst keeping the structure as light-wheight and fast as possible.
3. allow easy adaptability to existing architectures like convolutional and recurrent networks.

install for c++

git clone https://github.com/K-T0BIAS/Spline-based-DeepLearning.git
cd Spline-based-DeepLearning
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install or make install DESTDIR=/path_to_desired_directory

to run the example : ./SplineNetExample

include

in .cpp:

#include "SplineNetLib/Network.hpp"

in the projects cmake:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(YourProjectDirectory)

# Set C++ standard
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

# Find SplineNetLib package
find_package(SplineNetLib REQUIRED)

# Add executable and link with SplineNetLib
add_executable(YourProjectDirectory main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(YourProjectDirectory PRIVATE SplineNetLib)

or in terminal:

g++ -std=c++17 -I/path_to_include -L/path_to_lib -lSplineNetLib main.cpp -o YourProjectDirectory 

• Replace /path_to_include with the path to the installed include directory.

• Replace /path_to_lib with the path where libSplineNetLib.a is located.

install for python

Note this only includes splines and layer, no Network class

REQUIRED: pybind11, setuptools, wheel (if not already install these with pip)

git clone https://github.com/K-T0BIAS/Spline-based-DeepLearning.git
cd Spline-based-DeepLearning
pip install .
