A High Level API for Deep Learning in JAX

Main Features

<!-- - 🤷 **Agnostic**: Elegy supports various frameworks, including Flax, Haiku, and Optax on the high-level API, and it is 100% framework-agnostic on the low-level API. -->

Elegy is built on top of Treex and Treeo and reexports their APIs for convenience.

From Treex

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install elegy

For Windows users, we recommend the Windows subsystem for Linux 2 WSL2 since jax does not support it yet.

Quick Start: High-level API

Elegy's high-level API provides a straightforward interface you can use by implementing the following steps:

1. Define the architecture inside a Module:

import jax
import elegy as eg

class MLP(eg.Module):
    @eg.compact
    def __call__(self, x):
        x = eg.Linear(300)(x)
        x = jax.nn.relu(x)
        x = eg.Linear(10)(x)
        return x

2. Create a Model from this module and specify additional things like losses, metrics, and optimizers:

import optax optax
import elegy as eg

model = eg.Model(
    module=MLP(),
    loss=[
        eg.losses.Crossentropy(),
        eg.regularizers.L2(l=1e-5),
    ],
    metrics=eg.metrics.Accuracy(),
    optimizer=optax.rmsprop(1e-3),
)

3. Train the model using the fit method:

model.fit(
    inputs=X_train,
    labels=y_train,
    epochs=100,
    steps_per_epoch=200,
    batch_size=64,
    validation_data=(X_test, y_test),
    shuffle=True,
    callbacks=[eg.callbacks.TensorBoard("summaries")]
)

Using Flax

<details> <summary>Show</summary>

To use Flax with Elegy just create a flax.linen.Module and pass it to Model.

import jax
import elegy as eg
import optax optax
import flax.linen as nn

class MLP(nn.Module):
    @nn.compact
    def __call__(self, x, training: bool):
        x = nn.Dense(300)(x)
        x = jax.nn.relu(x)
        x = nn.Dense(10)(x)
        return x


model = eg.Model(
    module=MLP(),
    loss=[
        eg.losses.Crossentropy(),
        eg.regularizers.L2(l=1e-5),
    ],
    metrics=eg.metrics.Accuracy(),
    optimizer=optax.rmsprop(1e-3),
)

As shown here, Flax Modules can optionally request a training argument to __call__ which will be provided by Elegy / Treex.

</details>

Using Haiku

<details> <summary>Show</summary>

To use Haiku with Elegy do the following:

You can also optionally create your own hk.Module and use it in forward if needed. Putting everything together should look like this:

import jax
import elegy as eg
import optax optax
import haiku as hk


def forward(x, training: bool):
    x = hk.Linear(300)(x)
    x = jax.nn.relu(x)
    x = hk.Linear(10)(x)
    return x


model = eg.Model(
    module=hk.transform_with_state(forward),
    loss=[
        eg.losses.Crossentropy(),
        eg.regularizers.L2(l=1e-5),
    ],
    metrics=eg.metrics.Accuracy(),
    optimizer=optax.rmsprop(1e-3),
)

As shown here, forward can optionally request a training argument which will be provided by Elegy / Treex.

Quick Start: Low-level API

Elegy's low-level API lets you explicitly define what goes on during training, testing, and inference. Let's define our own custom Model to implement a LinearClassifier with pure JAX:

1. Define a custom init_step method:

class LinearClassifier(eg.Model):
    # use treex's API to declare parameter nodes
    w: jnp.ndarray = eg.Parameter.node()
    b: jnp.ndarray = eg.Parameter.node()

    def init_step(self, key: jnp.ndarray, inputs: jnp.ndarray):
        self.w = jax.random.uniform(
            key=key,
            shape=[features_in, 10],
        )
        self.b = jnp.zeros([10])

        self.optimizer = self.optimizer.init(self)

        return self

Here we declared the parameters w and b using Treex's Parameter.node() for pedagogical reasons, however normally you don't have to do this since you typically use a sub-Module instead.

2. Define a custom test_step method:

    def test_step(self, inputs, labels):
        # flatten + scale
        inputs = jnp.reshape(inputs, (inputs.shape[0], -1)) / 255

        # forward
        logits = jnp.dot(inputs, self.w) + self.b

        # crossentropy loss
        target = jax.nn.one_hot(labels["target"], 10)
        loss = optax.softmax_cross_entropy(logits, target).mean()

        # metrics
        logs = dict(
            acc=jnp.mean(jnp.argmax(logits, axis=-1) == labels["target"]),
            loss=loss,
        )

        return loss, logs, self

3. Instantiate our LinearClassifier with an optimizer:

model = LinearClassifier(
    optimizer=optax.rmsprop(1e-3),
)

4. Train the model using the fit method:

model.fit(
    inputs=X_train,
    labels=y_train,
    epochs=100,
    steps_per_epoch=200,
    batch_size=64,
    validation_data=(X_test, y_test),
    shuffle=True,
    callbacks=[eg.callbacks.TensorBoard("summaries")]
)

Using other JAX Frameworks

<details> <summary>Show</summary>

It is straightforward to integrate other functional JAX libraries with this low-level API, here is an example with Flax:

import elegy as eg
import flax.linen as nn

class LinearClassifier(eg.Model):
    params: Mapping[str, Any] = eg.Parameter.node()
    batch_stats: Mapping[str, Any] = eg.BatchStat.node()
    next_key: eg.KeySeq

    def __init__(self, module: nn.Module, **kwargs):
        self.flax_module = module
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

    def init_step(self, key, inputs):
        self.next_key = eg.KeySeq(key)

        variables = self.flax_module.init(
            {"params": self.next_key(), "dropout": self.next_key()}, x
        )
        self.params = variables["params"]
        self.batch_stats = variables["batch_stats"]

        self.optimizer = self.optimizer.init(self.parameters())

    def test_step(self, inputs, labels):
        # forward
        variables = dict(
            params=self.params,
            batch_stats=self.batch_stats,
        )
        logits, variables = self.flax_module.apply(
            variables,
            inputs, 
            rngs={"dropout": self.next_key()}, 
            mutable=True,
        )
        self.batch_stats = variables["batch_stats"]
        
        # loss
        target = jax.nn.one_hot(labels["target"], 10)
        loss = optax.softmax_cross_entropy(logits, target).mean()

        # logs
        logs = dict(
            accuracy=accuracy,
            loss=loss,
        )
        return loss, logs, self
