Version 1.3.2 Release Notes
- Merged Structured Linear Maps and Pyton Systems Library into Neuromancer
- The code in neuromancer was closely tied to psl and slim. A decision was made to integrate the packages as submodules of neuromancer. This also solves the issue of the package names "psl" and "slim" already being taken on PyPI.
Import changes for psl and slim
# before
import psl
import slim
# now
from neuromancer import psl
from neuromancer import slim
Documentation
The documentation for the library can be found online and in the pdf form. There is also an introduction video covering core features of the library.
# Neuromancer syntax example for differentiable parametric programming
import neuromancer as nm
# primal solution map to be trained
func = nm.blocks.MLP(insize=2, outsize=2, hsizes=[80] * 4)
sol_map = nm.maps.Map(func,
input_keys=["a", "p"],
output_keys=["x"],
name='primal_map')
# problem primal variables
x = nm.constraint.variable("x")[:, [0]]
y = nm.constraint.variable("x")[:, [1]]
# sampled problem parameters
p = nm.constraint.variable('p')
a = nm.constraint.variable('a')
# nonlinear objective function
f = (1-x)**2 + a*(y-x**2)**2
obj = f.minimize(weight=1., name='obj')
# constraints
con_1 = 100*(x >= y)
con_2 = 100*((p/2)**2 <= x**2+y**2)
con_3 = 100*(x**2+y**2 <= p**2)
# create constrained optimization loss
objectives = [obj]
constraints = [con_1, con_2, con_3]
loss = nm.loss.PenaltyLoss(objectives, constraints)
# construct constrained optimization problem
components = [sol_map]
problem = nm.problem.Problem(components, loss)

Installation
For either pip or conda installation, first clone the neuromancer package. A dedicated virtual environment (conda or otherwise) is recommended.
Note: If you have a previous neuromancer env it would be best at this point to create a new environment given the following instructions.
git clone -b master https://github.com/pnnl/neuromancer.git --single-branch
Conda install
Conda install is recommended for GPU acceleration. In many cases the following simple install should work for the specified OS
Ubuntu
conda env create -f linux_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer
Windows
conda env create -f windows_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer
conda install -c defaults intel-openmp -f
MacOS (Apple M1)
conda env create -f osxarm64_env.yml
conda activate neuromancer
Other operating system
!!! Pay attention to comments for non-Linux OS !!!
conda create -n neuromancer python=3.10.4
conda activate neuromancer
conda install pytorch pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
## OR (for Mac): conda install pytorch -c pytorch
conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda install scipy numpy matplotlib scikit-learn pandas dill mlflow pydot=1.4.2 pyts numba
conda install networkx=3.0 plum-dispatch
conda install -c anaconda pytest hypothesis
conda install cvxpy cvxopt casadi seaborn imageio
conda install tqdm torchdiffeq toml
## (for Windows): conda install -c defaults intel-openmp -f
PIP Install
Pip installation is broken up into required dependencies for core Neuromancer and dependencies associated with the examples, tests, and generating the documentation. Below we give instructions to install all dependencies in a conda virtual enviroment via pip.
Create and activate virtual environment
conda create -n neuromancer python=3.10.4
conda activate neuromancer
Install neuromancer and all dependencies.
From top level directory of cloned neuromancer run:
pip install -e.[docs,tests,examples]
See the pyproject.toml
file for reference.
[project.optional-dependencies]
tests = ["pytest", "hypothesis"]
examples = ["casadi", "cvxpy", "imageio"]
docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"]
Test NeuroMANCER install
Run pytest on the test folder. It should take about 2 minutes to run the tests on CPU. There will be a lot of warnings that you can safely ignore. These warnings will be cleaned up in a future release.
Examples
For detailed examples of NeuroMANCER usage for control, system identification, and parametric programming as well as tutorials for basic usage, see the scripts in the examples folder.
New in 1.3.1: Interactive notebook versions of examples are available on Google Colab! Test out NeuroMANCER functionality before cloning the repository and setting up an environment. We currently have three interactive notebook examples:
- examples/control/double_integrator_DPC_interactive.ipynb
- examples/parametric_programming/Himmelblau_interactive.ipynb
- examples/duffing_parameter_interactive.ipynb
Community
Contributing examples
If you have an example of using NeuroMANCER to solve an interesting problem, or of using NeuroMANCER in a unique way, we would love to see it incorporated into our current library of examples. To submit an example, create a folder for your example/s in the example folder if there isn't currently an applicable folder and place either your executable python file or notebook file there. Push your code back to github and then submit a pull request. Please make sure to note in a comment at the top of your code if there are additional dependencies to run your example and how to install those dependencies.
Contributing code
We welcome contributions to NeuroMANCER. Please accompany contributions with some lightweight unit tests via pytest (see test/ folder for some examples of easy to compose unit tests using pytest). In addition to unit tests a script utilizing introduced new classes or modules should be placed in the examples folder. To contribute a new feature please submit a pull request.
Reporting issues or bugs
If you find a bug in the code or want to request a new feature, please open an issue.
NeuroMANCER development plan
Here are some upcoming features we plan to develop. Please let us know if you would like to get involved and contribute so we may be able to coordinate on development. If there is a feature that you think would be highly valuable but not included below, please open an issue and let us know your thoughts.
