An implementation of Gaussian Processes in Pytorch

Project description

GPyTorch


GPyTorch Unit Tests GPyTorch Examples Documentation Status

GPyTorch is a Gaussian process library implemented using PyTorch. GPyTorch is designed for creating scalable, flexible, and modular Gaussian process models with ease.

Internally, GPyTorch differs from many existing approaches to GP inference by performing all inference operations using modern numerical linear algebra techniques like preconditioned conjugate gradients. Implementing a scalable GP method is as simple as providing a matrix multiplication routine with the kernel matrix and its derivative via our LazyTensor interface, or by composing many of our already existing LazyTensors. This allows not only for easy implementation of popular scalable GP techniques, but often also for significantly improved utilization of GPU computing compared to solvers based on the Cholesky decomposition.

GPyTorch provides (1) significant GPU acceleration (through MVM based inference); (2) state-of-the-art implementations of the latest algorithmic advances for scalability and flexibility (SKI/KISS-GP, stochastic Lanczos expansions, LOVE, SKIP, stochastic variational deep kernel learning, ...); (3) easy integration with deep learning frameworks.

Examples, Tutorials, and Documentation

See our numerous examples and tutorials on how to construct all sorts of models in GPyTorch.

Installation

Requirements:

  • Python >= 3.6
  • PyTorch >= 1.8.1

Install GPyTorch using pip or conda:

pip install gpytorch
conda install gpytorch -c gpytorch

(To use packages globally but install GPyTorch as a user-only package, use pip install --user above.)

Latest (unstable) version

To upgrade to the latest (unstable) version, run

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/cornellius-gp/gpytorch.git

ArchLinux Package

Note: Experimental AUR package. For most users, we recommend installation by conda or pip.

GPyTorch is also available on the ArchLinux User Repository (AUR). You can install it with an AUR helper, like yay, as follows:

yay -S python-gpytorch

To discuss any issues related to this AUR package refer to the comments section of python-gpytorch.

Development

To run the unit tests:

python -m unittest

By default, the random seeds are locked down for some of the tests. If you want to run the tests without locking down the seed, run

UNLOCK_SEED=true python -m unittest

If you plan on submitting a pull request, please make use of our pre-commit hooks to ensure that your commits adhere to the general style guidelines enforced by the repo. To do this, navigate to your local repository and run:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

From then on, this will automatically run flake8, isort, black and other tools over the files you commit each time you commit to gpytorch or a fork of it.
