Overview

SeaLion

python License total lines issues pypi repo size Deploy to PyPI

SeaLion is designed to teach today's aspiring ml-engineers the popular machine learning concepts of today in a way that gives both intuition and ways of application. We do this through concise algorithms that do the job in the least jargon possible and examples to guide you through every step of the way.

Quick Demo


SeaLion in Action

General Usage

For most classifiers you can just do (we'll use Logistic Regression as an example here) :

from sealion.regression import LogisticRegression
log_reg = LogisticRegression()

to initialize, and then to train :

log_reg.fit(X_train, y_train)

and for testing :

y_pred = log_reg.predict(X_test) 
evaluation = log_reg.evaluate(X_test, y_test)

For the unsupervised clustering algorithms you may do :

from sealion.unsupervised_clustering import KMeans
kmeans = KMeans(k = 3)

and then to fit and predict :

predictions = kmeans.fit_predict(X)

Neural networks are a bit more complicated, so you may want to check an example here.

The syntax of the APIs was designed to be easy to use and familiar to most other ML libraries. This is to make sure both beginners and experts in the field can comfortably use SeaLion. Of course, none of the source code uses other ML frameworks.

Installation

The package is available on PyPI. Install like such :

pip install sealion

SeaLion can only support Python 3, so please make sure you are on the newest version.

General Information

SeaLion was built by Anish Lakkapragada, a freshman in high school, starting in Thanksgiving of 2020 and has continued onto early 2021. The library is meant for beginners to use when solving the standard libraries like iris, breast cancer, swiss roll, the moons dataset, MNIST, etc. The source code is not as much as most other ML libraries (only 4000 lines) so it's pretty easy to contribute to. He hopes to spread machine learning to other high schoolers through this library.

Documentation

All documentation is currently being put on a website. However useful it may be, I highly recommend you check the examples posted on GitHub here to see the usage of the APIs and how it works.

Updates for v4.1 and up!

First things first - thank you for all of the support. The two reddit posts did much better than I expected (1.6k upvotes, about 200 comments) and I got a lot of feedback and advice. Thank you to anyone who participated in r/Python or r/learnmachinelearning.

SeaLion has also taken off with the posts. We currently have had 3 issues (1 closed) and have reached 195 stars and 20 forks. I wasn't expecting this and I am grateful for everyone who has shown their appreciation for this library.

Also some issues have popped up. Most of them can be easily solved by just deleting sealion manually (going into the folder where the source is and just deleting it - not pip uninstall) and then reinstalling the usual way, but feel free to put an issue up anytime.

In versions 4.1+ we are hoping to polish the library more. Currently 4.1 comes with Bernoulli Naive Bayes and we also have added precision, recall, and the f1 metric in the utils module. We are hoping to include Gaussian Mixture Models and Batch Normalization in the future. Code examples for these new algorithms will be created within a day or two after release. Thank you!

Updates for v3.0.0!

SeaLion v3.0 and up has had a lot of major milestones.

The first thing is that all the code examples (in jupyter notebooks) for basically all of the modules in sealion are put into the examples directory. Most of them go over using actual datasets like iris, breast cancer, moons, blobs, MNIST, etc. These were all built using v3.0.8 -hopefully that clears up any confusion. I hope you enjoy them.

Perhaps the biggest change in v3.0 is how we have changed the Cython compilation. A quick primer on Cython if you are unfamiliar - you take your python code (in .py files), change it and add some return types and type declarations, put that in a .pyx file, and compile it to a .so file. The .so file is then imported in the python module which you use.

The main bug fixed was that the .so file is actually specific to the architecture of the user. I use macOS and compiled all my files in .so, so prior v3.0 I would just give those .so files to anybody else. However other architectures and OSs like Ubuntu would not be able to recognize those files. Instead what we do know is just store the .pyx files (universal for all computers) in the source code, and the first time you import sealion all of those .pyx files will get compiled into .so files (so they will work for whatever you are using.) This means the first import will take about 40 seconds, but after that it will be as quick as any other import.

Contributing

First, install the required libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you feel you can do something better than how it is right now in SeaLion, please do! Believe me, you will find great joy in simplifying my code (probably using numpy) and speeding it up. The major problem right now is speed, some algorithms like PCA can handle 10000+ data points, whereas tSNE is unscalable with O(n^2) time complexity. We have solved this problem with Cython + parallel processing (thanks joblib), so algorithms (aside from neural networks) are working well with <1000 points. Getting to the next level will need some help.

Most of the modules I use are numpy, pandas, joblib, and tqdm. I prefer using less dependencies in the code, so please keep it down to a minimum.

Other than that, thanks for contributing!

Acknowledgements

Plenty of articles and people helped me a long way. Some of the tougher questions I dealt with were Automatic Differentiation in neural networks, in which this tutorial helped me. I also got some help on the O(n^2) time complexity problem of the denominator of t-SNE from this article and understood the mathematical derivation for the gradients (original paper didn't go over it) from here. Also I used the PCA method from handsonml so thanks for that too Aurélien Géron. Lastly special thanks to Evan M. Kim and Peter Washington for helping make the normal equation and cauchy distribution in tSNE make sense. Also thanks to @Kento Nishi for helping me understand open-source.

  • Possible speedups using Cython

    Possible speedups using Cython

    Hello! I saw this project on Reddit and was skeptical about whether compiling code that mainly uses NumPy with Cython provides any speedup.

    It seems that it doesn't. I ran a couple of tests using this function: https://github.com/anish-lakkapragada/SeaLion/blob/1439a12880cf71888e6b858228973cbe91bc8293/sealion/cython_knn.pyx#L11-L15

    I created two versions: one compiled with Cython (r2_score) and another pasted straight into Python (r2_score_python). Both contain the same exact code. I then ran a simple test in a Jupyter notebook:

    y1, y2 = np.random.rand(2, 10_000_000)

%timeit r2_score(y1, y2)  # compiled with Cython
# 902 ms ± 4.82 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

%timeit r2_score_python(y1, y2)  # just pasted into Python
# 897 ms ± 1.91 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

    Not much of a difference, it seems (902 ms vs 897 ms). Somewhat surprisingly, Python + NumPy (r2_score_python) is actually faster than Cython + NumPy (r2_score).

    Another solution: ugly but fast

    I quickly hacked up this code:

    %%cython -a --verbose
# cython: language_level=3, boundscheck=False, wraparound=False

import numpy as np
cimport numpy as np

cdef arr_sub_arr(double[:] dst, double[:] x, double[:] y):
    for i in range(x.shape[0]):
        dst[i] = x[i] - y[i]
        
cdef arr_sub_float(double[:] dst, double[:] x, double y):
    for i in range(x.shape[0]):
        dst[i] = x[i] - y
        
cdef arr_square(double[:] dst, double[:] src):    
    for i in range(src.shape[0]):
        dst[i] = src[i] * src[i]
        
cdef arr_mean(double[:] src):
    cdef Py_ssize_t n_elem = src.shape[0]
    
    return arr_sum(src) / n_elem
        
cdef arr_sum(double[:] src):
    cdef double _sum = 0.0
    
    for i in range(src.shape[0]):
        _sum += src[i]
        
    return _sum

cdef __r2_score_cython(double[:] y_pred, double[:] y_test):
    arr_sub_arr(y_pred, y_pred, y_test)
    arr_square(y_pred, y_pred)
    
    cdef double num = arr_sum(y_pred)
    cdef double y_test_mean = arr_mean(y_test)
    
    arr_sub_float(y_pred, y_test, y_test_mean)
    arr_square(y_pred, y_pred)
    cdef double denum = arr_sum(y_pred)
    
    return 1 - num / denum
    

cpdef r2_score_cython(np.ndarray y_pred, np.ndarray y_test):
    assert y_pred.ndim == y_test.ndim == 1, "Invalid number of dimenstions"
    
    cdef Py_ssize_t sh1 = y_pred.shape[0]
    cdef Py_ssize_t sh2 = y_test.shape[0]
    assert sh1 == sh2, f"Shape mismatch"
    
    return __r2_score_cython(
        np.array(y_pred),  # make a copy!
        y_test
    )

    Nothing fancy - just for loops and a copy of y_pred being used to store intermediate computations, so it's also memory efficient and doesn't allocate any new arrays at all.

    Here code like double[:] is a memoryview, not a NumPy array. See this Cython tutorial.

    The speedup

    %timeit r2_score_cython(y1, y2)
# 85.2 ms ± 153 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

    Your original code ran in 897 ms. The code I quickly wrote with simple loops (but with types and compiled via Cython!) ran in 85 ms, which is 10.5 times faster!

    That is to say that you can get way more speed out of Cython than you're currently getting. You get a lot of speed but now have to think about memory allocation and write for loops yourself, and this also works only for floating-point numbers - not integers or any other data types (I think this can be solved using fused types).

    So, if you're into Cython, you could probably think of other ways to speed up your code.

    Documentation and Cleanup

    Cleanup

    Cleanup setup.py, sealion/__init__.py, and PyPI upload workflow (.github/workflows/build.yaml)

    Docs

    Used sphinx for docs (which allows hosting on readthedocs).

    To build and view locally:

    pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme

cd docs
make html

    and open the file docs/_build/html/index.html in a browser.

    I deleted a lot of the Methods sections in the docstrings because those are automatically covered by Sphinx.

    I probably missed some stuff so if you notice please alert me.

    Testing

    Documentation build works. setup.py works. Importing the module works (builds Cython automatically). Not sure if PyPI workflow works because I can't test it.

  • "pip uninstall" not removing all files

    SeaLion uses cython code in .pyx files and then compiles that into .so files that are then imported in python .py files that you call. This is for speed benefits.

    When you do "pip(3) install sealion" what you are doing is getting all of the files in this directory, which do not include the .so files, just the .pyx. In the first import you compile all the .pyx into .so files, I don't hand you my .so files as it is OS dependent.

    This means that the generated .so (and .c and .o) files do not get deleted in "pip(3) uninstall sealion". This leads to some problems. If you reinstall sealion with a new release, then you are still going to have those .so files compiled on the old .pyx files, instead of how instead you would want the new .so compiled files on the new .pyx files. I think this is how it works, please correct me if I am wrong.

    Any solutions to this? Any ideas, questions, solutions, etc. are GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank you!
