Package Contents

_kmex(X, p, n_clusters, init, max_iter, tol, random_state=None, weights: torch.tensor = 1.0)

Auxiliary function: single-process k-means and k-medians in pytorch p is the norm used for computing distances: p=2 implies k-means, p=1 implies k-medians. p should be 1 (k-medians) or 2 (k-means). For other choice of p, we proceed as for p=2 and hope for the best. (note: kmex stands for kmeans and kmedians)

class DNDarray(array: torch.Tensor, gshape: Tuple[int, Ellipsis], dtype: heat.core.types.datatype, split: int | None, device: heat.core.devices.Device, comm: Communication, balanced: bool)

Distributed N-Dimensional array. The core element of HeAT. It is composed of PyTorch tensors local to each process.

Parameters:

• array (torch.Tensor) – Local array elements

• gshape (Tuple[int,...]) – The global shape of the array

• dtype (datatype) – The datatype of the array

• split (int or None) – The axis on which the array is divided between processes

• device (Device) – The device on which the local arrays are using (cpu or gpu)

• comm (Communication) – The communications object for sending and receiving data

• balanced (bool or None) – Describes whether the data are evenly distributed across processes. If this information is not available (self.balanced is None), it can be gathered via the is_balanced() method (requires communication).

__cat_halo() → torch.Tensor

Return local array concatenated to halos if they are available.

__array__() → numpy.ndarray

Returns a view of the process-local slice of the DNDarray as a numpy ndarray, if the DNDarray resides on CPU. Otherwise, it returns a copy, on CPU, of the process-local slice of DNDarray as numpy ndarray.

Override NumPy’s universal functions.

__array_function__(func, types, args, kwargs)

Augments NumPy’s functions.

astype(dtype, copy=True) → DNDarray

fill_diagonal(value: float) → DNDarray

Fill the main diagonal of a 2D DNDarray. This function modifies the input tensor in-place, and returns the input array.

Parameters:

value (float) – The value to be placed in the DNDarrays main diagonal

__getitem__(key: int | Tuple[int, Ellipsis] | List[int, Ellipsis]) → DNDarray

This does NOT redistribute or rebalance the resulting tensor. If the selection of values is unbalanced then the resultant tensor is also unbalanced! To redistributed the DNDarray use balance() (issue #187)

Parameters:

>>> a[1:6]
(1/2) >>> tensor([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=torch.int32)
(2/2) >>> tensor([5], dtype=torch.int32)

                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
(2/2) >>> tensor([[0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])

__int__() → DNDarray

Integer scalar casting.

is_balanced(force_check: bool = False) → bool

Determine if self is balanced evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all nodes distributed evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all processes. This is equivalent to returning self.balanced. If no information is available (self.balanced = None), the balanced status will be assessed via collective communication.

Parameters:

force_check (bool, optional) – If True, the balanced status of the DNDarray will be assessed via collective communication in any case.

is_distributed() → bool

Determines whether the data of this DNDarray is distributed across multiple processes.

item()

Returns the only element of a 1-element DNDarray. Mirror of the pytorch command by the same name. If size of DNDarray is >1 element, then a ValueError is raised (by pytorch)

Examples

>>> import heat as ht
>>> x = ht.zeros((1))
>>> x.item()
0.0

__len__() → int

numpy() → numpy.array

Returns a copy of the DNDarray as numpy ndarray. If the DNDarray resides on the GPU, the underlying data will be copied to the CPU first.

If the DNDarray is distributed, an MPI Allgather operation will be performed before converting to np.ndarray, i.e. each MPI process will end up holding a copy of the entire array in memory. Make sure process memory is sufficient!

Examples

>>> import heat as ht
T1 = ht.random.randn((10,8))
T1.numpy()

If no information is available (self.balanced = None), the balanced status will be assessed via collective communication.

Parameters:

__xitem_get_key_start_stop(rank: int, actives: list, key_st: int, key_sp: int, step: int, ends: torch.Tensor, og_key_st: int) → Tuple[int, int]

class KMeans(n_clusters: int = 8, init: str | heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray = 'random', max_iter: int = 300, tol: float = 0.0001, random_state: int | None = None)

Bases: heat.cluster._kcluster._KCluster

K-Means clustering algorithm. An implementation of Lloyd’s algorithm [1].

Variables:

• n_clusters (int) – The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.

• init (str or DNDarray) –

  Method for initialization:

  • ‘k-means++’ : selects initial cluster centers for the clustering in a smart way to speed up convergence [2].

  • ‘random’: choose k observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids.

  • ’batchparallel’: initialize by using the batch parallel algorithm (see BatchParallelKMeans for more information).

  • DNDarray: it should be of shape (n_clusters, n_features) and gives the initial centers.

• max_iter (int) – Maximum number of iterations of the k-means algorithm for a single run.

• tol (float) – Relative tolerance with regards to inertia to declare convergence.

• random_state (int) – Determines random number generation for centroid initialization.

Notes

The average complexity is given by \(O(k \cdot n \cdot T)\), were n is the number of samples and \(T\) is the number of iterations. In practice, the k-means algorithm is very fast, but it may fall into local minima. That is why it can be useful to restart it several times. If the algorithm stops before fully converging (because of tol or max_iter), labels_ and cluster_centers_ will not be consistent, i.e. the cluster_centers_ will not be the means of the points in each cluster. Also, the estimator will reassign labels_ after the last iteration to make labels_ consistent with predict on the training set.

balance_() → DNDarray

Function for balancing a DNDarray between all nodes. To determine if this is needed use the is_balanced() function. If the DNDarray is already balanced this function will do nothing. This function modifies the DNDarray itself and will not return anything.

Examples

>>> a = ht.zeros((10, 2), split=0)
>>> a[:, 0] = ht.arange(10)
>>> b = a[3:]
[0/2] tensor([[3., 0.],
[1/2] tensor([[4., 0.],
              [5., 0.],
              [6., 0.]])
[2/2] tensor([[7., 0.],
              [8., 0.],
              [9., 0.]])
>>> b.balance_()
>>> print(b.gshape, b.lshape)
[0/2] (7, 2) (1, 2)
[1/2] (7, 2) (3, 2)
[2/2] (7, 2) (3, 2)
>>> b
[0/2] tensor([[3., 0.],
             [4., 0.],
             [5., 0.]])
[1/2] tensor([[6., 0.],
              [7., 0.]])
[2/2] tensor([[8., 0.],
              [9., 0.]])
>>> print(b.gshape, b.lshape)

                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
(2/2) >>> tensor([[0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
>>> a[1:4, 1]
(1/2) >>> tensor([0.])

__int__() → DNDarray

Integer scalar casting.

is_balanced(force_check: bool = False) → bool

Determine if self is balanced evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all nodes distributed evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all processes. This is equivalent to returning self.balanced. If no information is available (self.balanced = None), the balanced status will be assessed via collective communication.

Parameters:

force_check (bool, optional) – If True, the balanced status of the DNDarray will be assessed via collective communication in any case.

is_distributed() → bool

Determines whether the data of this DNDarray is distributed across multiple processes.

item()

Returns the only element of a 1-element DNDarray. Mirror of the pytorch command by the same name. If size of DNDarray is >1 element, then a ValueError is raised (by pytorch)

Examples

>>> x = ht.zeros((1))
>>> x.item()
0.0

__len__() → int

numpy() → numpy.array

Returns a copy of the DNDarray as numpy ndarray. If the DNDarray resides on the GPU, the underlying data will be copied to the CPU first.

If the DNDarray is distributed, an MPI Allgather operation will be performed before converting to np.ndarray, i.e. each MPI process will end up holding a copy of the entire array in memory. Make sure process memory is sufficient!

Examples

>>> import heat as ht
T1 = ht.random.randn((10,8))
T1.numpy()

redistribute_(lshape_map: torch.Tensor | None = None, target_map: torch.Tensor | None = None)

Redistributes the data of the DNDarray along the split axis to match the given target map. This function does not modify the non-split dimensions of the DNDarray. This is an abstraction and extension of the balance function.

Parameters:

• lshape_map (torch.Tensor, optional) – The current lshape of processes. Units are [rank, lshape].

• target_map (torch.Tensor, optional) – The desired distribution across the processes. Units are [rank, target lshape]. Note: the only important parts of the target map are the values along the split axis, values which are not along this axis are there to mimic the shape of the lshape_map.

Examples

>>> st = ht.ones((50, 81, 67), split=2)
>>> target_map = torch.zeros((st.comm.size, 3), dtype=torch.int64)
>>> target_map[0, 2] = 67

Bases: heat.ClusteringMixin, heat.BaseEstimator

Spectral clustering

Variables:

• n_clusters (int) – Number of clusters to fit

• gamma (float) – Kernel coefficient sigma for ‘rbf’, ignored for metric=’euclidean’

• metric (string) –

  How to construct the similarity matrix.

  • ’rbf’ : construct the similarity matrix using a radial basis function (RBF) kernel.

  • ’euclidean’ : construct the similarity matrix as only euclidean distance.

• laplacian (str) – How to calculate the graph laplacian (affinity) Currently supported : ‘fully_connected’, ‘eNeighbour’

• threshold (float) – Threshold for affinity matrix if laplacian=’eNeighbour’ Ignorded for laplacian=’fully_connected’

• boundary (str) – How to interpret threshold: ‘upper’, ‘lower’ Ignorded for laplacian=’fully_connected’

• eigen_solver (str) – The eigenvalue decomposition strategy to use. - ‘lanczos’ : Use Lanczos iterations to reduce the Laplacian matrix size before applying the torch eigenvalue solver. - ‘randomized’ : Use a randomized algorithm to compute the approximate eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

• reigh_rank (int) – number of samples for randomized eigenvalue decomposition. Only used if eigen_solver=’randomized’. It must hold reigh_rank >= n_clusters. If n_clusters is None (automatic selection of number of clusters), reigh_rank gives an upper bound on the number of clusters that can be found. Therefore, reigh_rank should be set high enough to capture the expected number of clusters in that case.

• reigh_n_oversamples (int) – number of oversamples for randomized eigenvalue decomposition. Only used if eigen_solver=’randomized’. Default is 10.

• reigh_power_iter (int) – number of power iterations for randomized eigenvalue decomposition. Only used if eigen_solver=’randomized’. Default is 0. Consider increasing this value if the eigen-spectrum of the Laplacian decays slowly.

• lanczos_n_iter (int) – number of Lanczos iterations for Eigenvalue decomposition. Only used if eigen_solver=’lanczos’. Default is 300.

• assign_labels (str) – The strategy to use to assign labels in the embedding space.

• **params (dict) – Parameter dictionary for the assign_labels estimator

_spectral_embedding(x: heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray) → Tuple[heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray, heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray]

Helper function for dataset x embedding. Returns Tupel(Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors) of the graph’s Laplacian matrix.

Parameters:

x (DNDarray) – Sample Matrix for which the embedding should be calculated

Notes

This will throw out the complex side of the eigenvalues found during this.

fit(x: heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray)

Clusters dataset X via spectral embedding. Computes the low-dim representation by calculation of eigenspectrum (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) of the graph laplacian from the similarity matrix and fits the eigenvectors that correspond to the k lowest eigenvalues with a seperate clustering algorithm (currently only kmeans is supported). Similarity metrics for adjacency calculations are supported via spatial.distance. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed by reducing the Laplacian via lanczos iterations and using the torch eigenvalue solver on this smaller matrix. If other eigenvalue decompostion methods are supported, this will be expanded.

Parameters:

x (DNDarray) – Training instances to cluster. Shape = (n_samples, n_features)

predict(x: heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray) → heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray

Return the label each sample in X belongs to. X is transformed to the low-dim representation by calculation of eigenspectrum (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) of the graph laplacian from the similarity matrix. Inference of lables is done by extraction of the closest centroid of the n_clusters eigenvectors from the previously fitted clustering algorithm (kmeans).

Parameters:

x (DNDarray) – New data to predict. Shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Warning

Caution: Calculation of the low-dim representation requires some time!

__int__() → DNDarray

Integer scalar casting.

is_balanced(force_check: bool = False) → bool

Determine if self is balanced evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all nodes distributed evenly (or as evenly as possible) across all processes. This is equivalent to returning self.balanced. If no information is available (self.balanced = None), the balanced status will be assessed via collective communication.

Parameters:

>>> x.item()
0.0

__len__() → int

If the DNDarray is distributed, an MPI Allgather operation will be performed before converting to np.ndarray, i.e. each MPI process will end up holding a copy of the entire array in memory. Make sure process memory is sufficient!

Examples

>>> import heat as ht
T1 = ht.random.randn((10,8))
T1.numpy()

>>> a = ht.zeros((4, 5), split=0)
(1/2) >>> tensor([[0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
(2/2) >>> tensor([[0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]])
>>> a[1:4, 1] = 1
>>> a
(1/2) >>> tensor([[0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 1., 0., 0., 0.]])
(2/2) >>> tensor([[0., 1., 0., 0., 0.],
                  [0., 1., 0., 0., 0.]])

__setter(key: int | Tuple[int, Ellipsis] | List[int, Ellipsis], value: float | DNDarray | torch.Tensor)

Utility function for checking value and forwarding to :func:__setitem__

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If the type of value ist not supported

__str__() → str

Computes a string representation of the passed DNDarray.

tolist(keepsplit: bool = False) → List

Return a copy of the local array data as a (nested) Python list. For scalars, a standard Python number is returned.

Parameters:

keepsplit (bool) – Whether the list should be returned locally or globally.

Examples

>>> a = ht.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]])
>>> a.tolist()
[[0, 1], [2, 3]]

>>> a = ht.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], split=0)
>>> a.tolist()
[[0, 1], [2, 3]]

>>> a = ht.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], split=1)
>>> a.tolist(keepsplit=True)
(1/2) [[0], [2]]
(2/2) [[1], [3]]

__torch_function__(func, types, args=(), kwargs=None)

Supports PyTorch’s dispatch mechanism.

__torch_proxy__() → torch.Tensor

Return a 1-element torch.Tensor strided as the global self shape. Used internally for sanitation purposes.

__xitem_get_key_start_stop(rank: int, actives: list, key_st: int, key_sp: int, step: int, ends: torch.Tensor, og_key_st: int) → Tuple[int, int]

Auxiliary single-process functions and base class for batch-parallel k-clustering

_initialize_plus_plus(X, n_clusters, p, random_state=None, weights: torch.tensor = 1, max_samples=2**24 - 1)

Auxiliary function: single-process k-means++/k-medians++ initialization in pytorch p is the norm used for computing distances weights allows to add weights to the distribution function, so that the data points with higher weights are preferred; note that weights must have the same dimension as X[0] The value max_samples=2**24 - 1 is necessary as PyTorchs multinomial currently only supports this number of different categories.

_kmex(X, p, n_clusters, init, max_iter, tol, random_state=None, weights: torch.tensor = 1.0)

Auxiliary function: single-process k-means and k-medians in pytorch p is the norm used for computing distances: p=2 implies k-means, p=1 implies k-medians. p should be 1 (k-medians) or 2 (k-means). For other choice of p, we proceed as for p=2 and hope for the best. (note: kmex stands for kmeans and kmedians)

_parallel_batched_kmex_predict(X, centers, p)

Auxiliary function: predict labels for parallel_batched_kmex

fit(x: heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray)

Computes the centroid of the clustering algorithm to fit the data x.

Parameters:

• x (DNDarray) – Training instances to cluster. Shape = (n_samples, n_features). It must hold x.split=0.

• weights (torch.tensor) – Add weights to the distribution function used in the clustering algorithm in kmex

predict(x: heat.core.dndarray.DNDarray)

Predict the closest cluster each sample in x belongs to.

In the vector quantization literature, cluster_centers_() is called the code book and each value returned by predict is the index of the closest code in the code book.

Parameters:

x (DNDarray) – New data to predict. Shape = (n_samples, n_features)

class BatchParallelKMeans(n_clusters: int = 8, init: str = 'k-means++', max_iter: int = 300, tol: float = 0.0001, random_state: int = None, n_procs_to_merge: int = None)

Bases: _BatchParallelKCluster

Batch-parallel K-Means clustering algorithm from Ref. [1]. The input must be a DNDarray of shape (n_samples, n_features), with split=0 (i.e. split along the sample axis). This method performs K-Means clustering on each batch (i.e. on each process-local chunk) of data individually and in parallel. After that, all centroids from the local K-Means are gathered and another instance of K-means is performed on them in order to determine the final centroids. To improve scalability of this approach also on a large number of processes, this procedure can be applied in a hierarchical manner using the parameter n_procs_to_merge.

Variables:

• n_clusters (int) – The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.

• init (str) – Method for initialization for local and global k-means: - ‘k-means++’ : selects initial cluster centers for the clustering in a smart way to speed up convergence [2]. - ‘random’: choose k observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids. (Not implemented yet)

• max_iter (int) – Maximum number of iterations of the local/global k-means algorithms.

• tol (float) – Relative tolerance with regards to inertia to declare convergence, both for local and global k-means.

• random_state (int) – Determines random number generation for centroid initialization.

• n_procs_to_merge (int) – Number of processes to merge after each iteration of the local k-means. If None, all processes are merged after each iteration.

Bases: _BatchParallelKCluster

Batch-parallel K-Medians clustering algorithm, in analogy to the K-means algorithm from Ref. [1]. This requires data to be given as DNDarray of shape (n_samples, n_features) with split=0 (i.e. split along the sample axis). The idea of the method is to perform the classical K-Medians on each batch of data (i.e. on each process-local chunk of data) individually and in parallel. After that, all centroids from the local K-Medians are gathered and another instance of K-Medians is performed on them in order to determine the final centroids. To improve scalability of this approach also on a range number of processes, this procedure can be applied in a hierarchical manor using the parameter n_procs_to_merge.
