Infinitely Deep Bayesian Neural Networks with SDEs

arXiv

This library contains JAX and Pytorch implementations of neural ODEs and Bayesian layers for stochastic variational inference. A rudimentary JAX implementation of differentiable SDE solvers is also provided, refer to torchsde [2] for a full set of differentiable SDE solvers in Pytorch and similarly to torchdiffeq [3] for differentiable ODE solvers.

Continuous-depth hidden unit trajectories in Neural ODE vs uncertain posterior dynamics SDE-BNN.

Installation

This library runs on jax==0.1.77 and torch==1.6.0. To install all other requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: Package versions may change, refer to official JAX installation instructions here.

JaxSDE: Differentiable SDE Solvers in JAX

The jaxsde library contains SDE solvers in the Ito and Stratonovich form. Solvers of different orders can be specified with the following method={euler_maruyama|milstein|euler_heun} (strong orders 0.5|1|0.5 and orders 1|1|1 in the case of an additive noise SDE). Stochastic adjoint (sdeint_ito) training mode does not work efficiently yet, use sdeint_ito_fixed_grid for now. Trade off solver speed for precision during training or inference by adjusting --nsteps <# steps>.

Usage

Default solver: Backpropagation through the solver.

from jaxsde.jaxsde.sdeint import sdeint_ito_fixed_grid

y1 = sdeint_ito_fixed_grid(f, g, y0, ts, rng, fw_params, method="euler_maruyama")

Stochastic adjoint: Using O(1) memory instead of solving an adjoint SDE in the backward pass.

from jaxsde.jaxsde.sdeint import sdeint_ito

y1 = sdeint_ito(f, g, y0, ts, rng, fw_params, method="milstein")

Brax: Bayesian SDE Framework in JAX

Implementation of composable Bayesian layers in the stax API. Our SDE Bayesian layers can be used with the SDEBNN block composed with multiple parameterizations of time-dependent layers in diffeq_layers. Sticking-the-landing (STL) trick can be enabled during training with --stl for improving convergence rate. Augment the inputs by a custom amount --aug <integer>, set the number of samples averaged over with --nsamples <integer>. If memory constraints pose a problem, train in gradient accumulation mode: --acc_grad and gradient checkpointing: --remat.

Samples from SDEBNN-learned predictive prior and posterior density distributions.

Usage

All examples can be swapped in with different vision datasets. For better readability, tensorboard logging has been excluded (see torchbnn instead).

Toy 1D regression to learn complex posteriors:

python examples/jax/sdebnn_toy1d.py --ds cos --activn swish --loss laplace --kl_scale 1. --diff_const 0.2 --driftw_scale 0.1 --aug_dim 2 --stl --prior_dw ou

Image Classification:

To train an SDEBNN model:

python examples/jax/sdebnn_classification.py --output <output directory> --model sdenet --aug 2 --nblocks 2-2-2 --diff_coef 0.2 --fx_dim 64 --fw_dims 2-64-2 --nsteps 20 --nsamples 1

To train a ResNet baseline, specify --model resnet and for a Bayesian ResNet baseline, specify --meanfield_sdebnn.

TorchBNN: SDE-BNN in Pytorch

A PyTorch implementation of the Brax framework powered by the torchsde backend.

Usage

All examples can be swapped in with different vision datasets and includes tensorboard logging for critical metrics.

Toy 1D regression to learn multi-modal posterior:

python examples/torch/sdebnn_toy1d.py --output_dir <dst_path>

Arbitrarily expression approximate posteriors from learning non-Gaussian marginals.

Image Classification:

All hyperparameters can be found in the training script. Train with adjoint for memory efficient backpropagation and adaptive mode for adaptive computation (and ensure --adjoint_adaptive True if training with adjoint and adaptive modes).

python examples/torch/sdebnn_classification.py --train-dir <output directory> --data cifar10 --dt 0.05 --method midpoint --adjoint True --adaptive True --adjoint_adaptive True --inhomogeneous True
