Design Features

• Compatibility: Support worldwide frameworks and AI chips, enabling one code runs on all platforms.

• Model Zoo: Provide a series of applications containing classic and SOTA models, covering CV, NLP, RL and other fields.

• Deployment: Support ONNX protocol, model export, import and deployment.

Multi-backend Design

You can immediately use TensorLayerX to define a model via Pytorch-stype, and switch to any backends easily.

import os
os.environ['TL_BACKEND'] = 'tensorflow' # modify this line, switch to any backends easily!
#os.environ['TL_BACKEND'] = 'mindspore'
#os.environ['TL_BACKEND'] = 'paddle'
#os.environ['TL_BACKEND'] = 'torch'
import tensorlayerx as tlx
from tensorlayerx.nn import Module
from tensorlayerx.nn import Linear
class CustomModel(Module):

  def __init__(self):
      super(CustomModel, self).__init__()

      self.linear1 = Linear(out_features=800, act=tlx.ReLU, in_features=784)
      self.linear2 = Linear(out_features=800, act=tlx.ReLU, in_features=800)
      self.linear3 = Linear(out_features=10, act=None, in_features=800)

  def forward(self, x, foo=False):
      z = self.linear1(x)
      z = self.linear2(z)
      out = self.linear3(z)
      if foo:
          out = tlx.softmax(out)
      return out

Quick Start

Get started with TensorLayerX quickly using the following examples:

• MNIST Digit Recognition: Train a simple multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model for digit recognition using the MNIST dataset. Choose between a simple training method or custom loops. See the examples: mnist_mlp_simple_train.py and mnist_mlp_custom_train.py.

• CIFAR-10 Dataflow: Learn how to create datasets, process images, and load data through DataLoader using the CIFAR-10 dataset. See the example: cifar10_cnn.py.

• MNIST GAN Training: Train a generative adversarial network (GAN) on the MNIST dataset. See the example: mnist_gan.py.

• MNIST Mix Programming: Mix TensorLayerX code with other deep learning libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Paddle, and MindSpore to run on the MNIST dataset. See the example: mnist_mlp_mix_programming.py.
