DL4S provides a high-level API for many accelerated operations common in neural networks and deep learning. It furthermore has automatic differentiation builtin, which allows you to create and train neural networks without needing to manually implement backpropagation - without needing a special Swift toolchain.

Features include implementations for many basic binary and unary operators, broadcasting, matrix operations, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, commonly used optimizers, second derivatives and much more. DL4S provides implementations for common network architectures, such as VGG, AlexNet, ResNet and Transformers.

While its primary purpose is deep learning and optimization, DL4S can be used as a library for vectorized mathematical operations like numpy.

1. In Xcode, select "File" > "Swift Packages" > "Add Package Dependency"
2. Enter https://github.com/palle-k/DL4S.git into the Package URL field and click "Next".
3. Select "Branch", "master" and click "Next".
4. Enable the Package Product DL4S, your app in the "Add to Target" column and click "Next".

Note: Installation via CocoaPods is no longer supported for newer versions.

Add the dependency to your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/palle-k/DL4S.git", .branch("master"))

Then add DL4S as a dependency to your target:

.target(name: "MyPackage", dependencies: ["DL4S"])

DL4S can be accelerated with Intel's Math Kernel Library, Integrated Performance Primitives and OpenMP (Installation Instructions).

On Apple devices, DL4S uses vectorized functions provided by the builtin Accelerate framework by default. If no acceleration library is available, a fallback implementation is used.

Compiling with MKL/IPP:

# After adding the APT repository as described in the installation instructions
sudo apt-get install intel-mkl-64bit-2019.5-075 intel-ipp-64bit-2019.5-075 libiomp-dev

export MKLROOT=/opt/intel/mkl
export IPPROOT=/opt/intel/ipp
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64:${IPPROOT}/lib/intel64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

DL4S-Tensorboard provides a summary writer that can write tensorboard compatible logs.

DL4S includes a LLDB python script that provides custom descriptions for Tensors (util/debugger_support/tensor.py).

To use enhanced summaries, execute command script import /path/to/DL4S/util/debugger_support/tensor.py either directly in LLDB or add the command to your ~/.lldbinit file.

Then you can use the print or frame variable commands to print human-readable descriptions of tensors.

Some high level examples have been implemented in other repositories:

• Neural Machine Translation based on seq2seq with Attention
• Generative Adversarial Networks - Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP)
• Reinforcement Learning - Trains an agent to find the exit in a 2D grid world.

DL4S provides a high-level interface to many vectorized operations on tensors.

let a = Tensor<Float, CPU>([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]], requiresGradient: true)
let prod = a.transposed().matrixMultipled(with: a)
let s = prod.reduceSum()
let l = log(s)
print(l) // 5.1873856

When a tensor is marked to require a gradient, a compute graph will be captured. The graph stores all operations, which use that tensor directly or indirectly as an operand.

It is then possible to backpropagate through that graph using the gradients(of:) function:

// Backpropagate
let dl_da = l.gradients(of: [a])[0]

print(dl_da)
/*
[[0.034, 0.034]
 [0.078, 0.078]
 [0.123, 0.123]]
*/

The operations used during backpropagation are themselves differentiable. Therefore, second derivatives can be computed by computing the gradient of the gradient.

When higher order derivatives are required, the compute graph of the backwards pass has to be explicitly retained.

let t = Tensor<Float, CPU>([1,2,3,4], requiresGradient: true)

let result = t * t * t
print(result) // [1, 8, 27, 64]

let grad = result.gradients(of: [t], retainBackwardsGraph: true)[0]
print(grad) // [3, 12, 27, 48]

let secondGrad = grad.gradients(of: [t], retainBackwardsGraph: true)[0]
print(secondGrad) // [6, 12, 18, 24]

let thirdGrad = secondGrad.gradients(of: [t])[0]
print(thirdGrad) // [6, 6, 6, 6]

Example for MNIST classification

var optimizer = Adam(model: model, learningRate: 0.001)

// Single iteration of minibatch gradient descent
let batch: Tensor<Float, CPU> = ... // shape: [batchSize, 1, 28, 28]
let y_true: Tensor<Int32, CPU> = ... // shape: [batchSize]

// use optimizer.model, not model
let pred = optimizer.model(batch)
let loss = categoricalNegativeLogLikelihood(expected: y_true, actual: pred)

let gradients = loss.gradients(of: optimizer.model.parameters)
optimizer.update(along: gradients)

Example for MNIST classification

The Gated Reccurent Unit scans the image from top to bottom and uses the final hidden state for classification.

let model = Sequential {
    GRU<Float, CPU>(inputSize: 28, hiddenSize: 128, direction: .forward)
    Lambda<GRU<Float, CPU>.Outputs, Tensor<Float, CPU>, Float, CPU> { inputs in
        inputs.0
    }
    Dense<Float, CPU>(inputSize: 128, outputSize: 10)
    LogSoftmax<Float, CPU>()
}

var optimizer = Adam(model: model, learningRate: 0.001)

let batch: Tensor<Float, CPU> = ... // shape: [batchSize, 28, 28]
let y_true: Tensor<Int32, CPU> = ... // shape: [batchSize]

let x = batch.permuted(to: 1, 0, 2) // Swap first and second axis
let pred = optimizer.model(x)
let loss = categoricalNegativeLogLikelihood(expected: y_true, actual: pred)

let gradients = loss.gradients(of: optimizer.model.parameters)
optimizer.update(along: gradients)
