tfp.bijectors.FFJORD

Implements a continuous normalizing flow X->Y defined via an ODE.

Inherits From: Bijector

tfp.bijectors.FFJORD(
    state_time_derivative_fn, ode_solve_fn=None,
    trace_augmentation_fn=trace_jacobian_hutchinson, initial_time=0.0,
    final_time=1.0, validate_args=False, dtype=tf.float32, name='ffjord'
)

This bijector implements a continuous dynamics transformation parameterized by a differential equation, where initial and terminal conditions correspond to domain (X) and image (Y) i.e.

d/dt[state(t)]=state_time_derivative_fn(t, state(t))
state(initial_time) = X
state(final_time) = Y

For this transformation the value of log_det_jacobian follows another differential equation, reducing it to computation of the trace of the jacbian along the trajectory

state_time_derivative = state_time_derivative_fn(t, state(t))
d/dt[log_det_jac(t)] = Tr(jacobian(state_time_derivative, state(t)))

FFJORD constructor takes two functions ode_solve_fn and trace_augmentation_fn arguments that customize integration of the differential equation and trace estimation.

Differential equation integration is performed by a call to ode_solve_fn. Custom ode_solve_fn must accept the following arguments:

  • ode_fn(time, state): Differential equation to be solved.
  • initial_time: Scalar float or floating Tensor representing the initial time.
  • initial_state: Floating Tensor representing the initial state.
  • solution_times: 1D floating Tensor of solution times.

And return a Tensor of shape [solution_times.shape, initial_state.shape] representing state values evaluated at solution_times. In addition ode_solve_fn must support nested structures. For more details see the interface of tfp.math.ode.Solver.solve().

Trace estimation is computed simultaneously with state_time_derivative using augmented_state_time_derivative_fn that is generated by trace_augmentation_fn. trace_augmentation_fn takes state_time_derivative_fn, state.shape and state.dtype arguments and returns a augmented_state_time_derivative_fn callable that computes both state_time_derivative and unreduced trace_estimation.

Custom ode_solve_fn and trace_augmentation_fn examples:

# custom_solver_fn: `callable(f, t_initial, t_solutions, y_initial, ...)`
# custom_solver_kwargs: Additional arguments to pass to custom_solver_fn.
def ode_solve_fn(ode_fn, initial_time, initial_state, solution_times):
  results = custom_solver_fn(ode_fn, initial_time, solution_times,
                             initial_state, **custom_solver_kwargs)
  return results

ffjord = tfb.FFJORD(state_time_derivative_fn, ode_solve_fn=ode_solve_fn)

# state_time_derivative_fn: `callable(time, state)`
# trace_jac_fn: `callable(time, state)` unreduced jacobian trace function

def trace_augmentation_fn(ode_fn, state_shape, state_dtype):
  def augmented_ode_fn(time, state):
    return ode_fn(time, state), trace_jac_fn(time, state)
  return augmented_ode_fn

ffjord = tfb.FFJORD(state_time_derivative_fn,
                    trace_augmentation_fn=trace_augmentation_fn)

For more details on FFJORD and continous normalizing flows see [1], [2].

Usage example:

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfb = tfp.bijectors
# state_time_derivative_fn: `Callable(time, state)` -> state_time_derivative
# e.g. Neural network with inputs and outputs of the same shapes and dtypes.

bijector = tfb.FFJORD(state_time_derivative_fn=state_time_derivative_fn)
y = bijector.forward(x)  # forward mapping
x = bijector.inverse(y)  # inverse mapping
base = tfd.Normal(tf.zeros_like(x), tf.ones_like(x))  # Base distribution
transformed_distribution = tfd.TransformedDistribution(base, bijector)

The result is summed over the final dimensions to produce a scalar Jacobian determinant for each event, i.e. it has shape rank(y) - event_ndims dimensions. Multipart bijectors require structured event_ndims, such that rank(y[i]) - rank(event_ndims[i]) is the same for all elements i of the structured input.

with_name_scope

@classmethod

mod = MyModule()
mod(tf.ones([1, 2]))

mod.w
<tf.Variable 'my_module/Variable:0' shape=(2, 3) dtype=float32,

__call__

View source

__call__(
    value, name=None, **kwargs
)

Applies or composes the Bijector, depending on input type.

This is a convenience function which applies the Bijector instance in three different ways, depending on the input:

  1. If the input is a tfd.Distribution instance, return tfd.TransformedDistribution(distribution=input, bijector=self).
  2. If the input is a tfb.Bijector instance, return tfb.Chain([self, input]).
  3. Otherwise, return self.forward(input)

Args
value A tfd.Distribution, tfb.Bijector, or a (structure of) Tensor.
name Python str name given to ops created by this function.
**kwargs Additional keyword arguments passed into the created tfd.TransformedDistribution, tfb.Bijector, or self.forward.

Returns
composition A tfd.TransformedDistribution if the input was a tfd.Distribution, a tfb.Chain if the input was a tfb.Bijector, or a (structure of) Tensor computed by self.forward.

Examples

sigmoid = tfb.Reciprocal()(
    tfb.Shift(shift=1.)(
      tfb.Exp()(
        tfb.Scale(scale=-1.))))
# ==> `tfb.Chain([
#         tfb.Reciprocal(),
#         tfb.Shift(shift=1.),
#         tfb.Exp(),
#         tfb.Scale(scale=-1.),
#      ])`  # ie, `tfb.Sigmoid()`

log_normal = tfb.Exp()(tfd.Normal(0, 1))
# ==> `tfd.TransformedDistribution(tfd.Normal(0, 1), tfb.Exp())`

tfb.Exp()([-1., 0., 1.])
# ==> tf.exp([-1., 0., 1.])
