| =================================== |
| |
| .. currentmodule:: functorch |
| |
| functorch is `JAX-like <https://github.com/google/jax>`_ composable function transforms for PyTorch. |
| |
| It aims to provide composable vmap and grad transforms that work with PyTorch modules |
| and PyTorch autograd with good eager-mode performance. |
| |
| **This library is currently under heavy development - if you have suggestions on the API or use-cases you'd like to be covered, please open an github issue or reach out. We'd love to hear about how you're using the library.** |
| |
| Why composable function transforms? |
| ----------------------------------- |
| |
| There are a number of use cases that are tricky to do in PyTorch today: |
| |
| - computing per-sample-gradients (or other per-sample quantities) |
| - running ensembles of models on a single machine |
| - efficiently batching together tasks in the inner-loop of MAML |
| - efficiently computing Jacobians and Hessians |
| - efficiently computing batched Jacobians and Hessians |
| |
| Composing :func:`vmap`, :func:`grad`, and :func:`vjp` transforms allows us to express the above without designing a separate subsystem for each. |
| This idea of composable function transforms comes from the `JAX framework <https://github.com/google/jax>`_. |
