Apply into NumpyΒΆ

In following parts, we will show some demos about how to use TreeValue in practice.

For example, now we have a group of structed data in python-dict type, we want to do different operations on differnent key-value pairs inplace, get some statistics such as mean value and task some slices.

In normal cases, we need to unroll multiple for-loop and if-else to implement cooresponding operations on each values, and declare additional temporal variables to save result. All the mentioned contents are executed serially, like the next code examples:

import numpy as np

T, B = 3, 4


def without_treevalue(batch_):
    mean_b_list = []
    even_index_a_list = []
    for i in range(len(batch_)):
        for k, v in batch_[i].items():
            if k == 'a':
                v = v.astype(np.float32)
                even_index_a_list.append(v[::2])
            elif k == 'b':
                v = v.astype(np.float32)
                transformed_v = np.power(v, 2) + 1.0
                mean_b_list.append(transformed_v.mean())
            elif k == 'c':
                for k1, v1 in v.items():
                    if k1 == 'd':
                        v1 = v1.astype(np.float32)
                    else:
                        print('ignore keys: {}'.format(k1))
            else:
                print('ignore keys: {}'.format(k))
    for i in range(len(batch_)):
        for k in batch_[i].keys():
            if k == 'd':
                batch_[i][k]['noise'] = np.random.random(size=(3, 4, 5))

    mean_b = sum(mean_b_list) / len(mean_b_list)
    even_index_a = np.stack(even_index_a_list, axis=0)
    return batch_, mean_b, even_index_a

However, with the help of TreeValue, all the contents mentioned above can be implemented gracefully and efficiently. Users only need to func_treelize the primitive numpy functions and pack data with FastTreeValue, then execute desired operations just like using standard numpy array.

from treevalue import FastTreeValue

T, B = 3, 4
power = FastTreeValue.func()(np.power)
stack = FastTreeValue.func(subside=True)(np.stack)
split = FastTreeValue.func(rise=True)(np.split)


def with_treevalue(batch_):
    batch_ = [FastTreeValue(b) for b in batch_]
    batch_ = stack(batch_)
    batch_ = batch_.astype(np.float32)
    batch_.b = power(batch_.b, 2) + 1.0
    batch_.c.noise = np.random.random(size=(B, 3, 4, 5))
    mean_b = batch_.b.mean()
    even_index_a = batch_.a[:, ::2]
    batch_ = split(batch_, indices_or_sections=B, axis=0)
    return batch_, mean_b, even_index_a

And we can run these two demos for comparison:

def get_data():
    return {

        'b': np.random.random(size=(6,)),
        'c': {

        }
    }


if __name__ == "__main__":
    batch = [get_data() for _ in range(B)]
    batch0, mean0, even_index_a0 = without_treevalue(copy.deepcopy(batch))
    batch1, mean1, even_index_a1 = with_treevalue(copy.deepcopy(batch))

    assert np.abs(mean0 - mean1) < 1e-6
    print('mean0 & mean1:', mean0, mean1)
    print('\n')

    assert np.abs((even_index_a0 - even_index_a1).max()) < 1e-6
    print('even_index_a0:', even_index_a0)
    print('even_index_a1:', even_index_a1)

    assert len(batch0) == B
    assert len(batch1) == B

The final output should be the text below, and all the assertions can be passed.

In this case, we can see that the TreeValue can be properly applied into the numpy library. The tree-structured matrix calculation can be easily built with TreeValue like using standard numpy array.

Both the simplicity of logic structure and execution efficiency can be improve a lot.

And Last but not least, the only thing you need to do is to wrap the functions in Numpy library, and then use it painlessly like the primitive numpy.
