🤸 Quickstart

using Lux, Random, Optimisers, Zygote
# using LuxCUDA, AMDGPU, Metal, oneAPI # Optional packages for GPU support

# Seeding
rng = Random.default_rng()
Random.seed!(rng, 0)

# Construct the layer
model = Chain(Dense(128, 256, tanh), Chain(Dense(256, 1, tanh), Dense(1, 10)))

# Get the device determined by Lux
dev = gpu_device()

# Parameter and State Variables
ps, st = Lux.setup(rng, model) |> dev

# Dummy Input
x = rand(rng, Float32, 128, 2) |> dev

# Run the model
y, st = Lux.apply(model, x, ps, st)

# Gradients
## First construct a TrainState
train_state = Lux.Training.TrainState(model, ps, st, Adam(0.0001f0))

## We can compute the gradients using Training.compute_gradients
gs, loss, stats, train_state = Lux.Training.compute_gradients(AutoZygote(), MSELoss(),
    (x, dev(rand(rng, Float32, 10, 2))), train_state)

## Optimization
train_state = Training.apply_gradients!(train_state, gs) # or Training.apply_gradients (no `!` at the end)

# Both these steps can be combined into a single call
gs, loss, stats, train_state = Training.single_train_step!(AutoZygote(), MSELoss(),
    (x, dev(rand(rng, Float32, 10, 2))), train_state)

🧑‍💻 Contributing

This section is somewhat incomplete. You can contribute by contributing to finishing this section 😜.

🧪 Testing

The full test of Lux.jl takes a long time, here's how to test a portion of the code.

For each @testitem, there are corresponding tags, for example:

@testitem "SkipConnection" setup=[SharedTestSetup] tags=[:core_layers]

For example, let's consider the tests for SkipConnection:

@testitem "SkipConnection" setup=[SharedTestSetup] tags=[:core_layers] begin
    ...
end

We can test the group to which SkipConnection belongs by testing core_layers. To do so set the LUX_TEST_GROUP environment variable, or rename the tag to further narrow the test scope:

export LUX_TEST_GROUP="core_layers"

Or directly modify the default test tag in runtests.jl:

# const LUX_TEST_GROUP = lowercase(get(ENV, "LUX_TEST_GROUP", "all"))
const LUX_TEST_GROUP = lowercase(get(ENV, "LUX_TEST_GROUP", "core_layers"))

But be sure to restore the default value "all" before submitting the code.

Furthermore if you want to run a specific test based on the name of the testset, you can use TestEnv.jl as follows. Start with activating the Lux environment and then run the following:

using TestEnv; TestEnv.activate(); using ReTestItems;

# Assuming you are in the main directory of Lux
ReTestItems.runtests("tests/"; name = "NAME OF THE TEST")

For the SkipConnection tests that would be:

ReTestItems.runtests("tests/"; name = "SkipConnection")
