Quick Implementation Examples

TensorFlow Plus


import tensorflow_plus as tfp

# Define a simple transformer model
model = tfp.models.Sequential([
  tfp.layers.MultiHeadAttention(
    num_heads=8, 
    key_dim=64,
    value_dim=64
  ),
  tfp.layers.TransformerEncoderBlock(
    hidden_dim=512,
    intermediate_dim=2048,
    dropout=0.1
  ),
  tfp.layers.Dense(units=10, activation='softmax')
])

# Compile with mixed precision
model.compile(
  optimizer=tfp.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=1e-4),
  loss='categorical_crossentropy',
  metrics=['accuracy'],
  mixed_precision=True
)

PyTorch Evolution


import torch_evolution as te

# Define a graph neural network
class GNN(te.nn.Module):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.conv1 = te.nn.GraphConv(in_channels=64, out_channels=128)
    self.conv2 = te.nn.GraphConv(in_channels=128, out_channels=256)
    self.classifier = te.nn.Linear(256, num_classes=10)
    
  def forward(self, x, edge_index):
    x = self.conv1(x, edge_index).relu()
    x = te.nn.functional.dropout(x, p=0.2)
    x = self.conv2(x, edge_index)
    x = te.nn.functional.global_mean_pool(x, batch)
    return self.classifier(x)
