Features

  1. Nano-AutoGrad offers the following features:

    • Automatic Differentiation: Nano-AutoGrad automatically * computes gradients, making it easy to perform gradient-based optimization.
    • Computational Graph Engine: It leverages a computational graph representation to efficiently compute gradients and perform backpropagation.
    • Lightweight and Efficient: Nano-AutoGrad is designed to be lightweight and efficient, suitable for small to medium-sized neural networks.
    • Easy-to-Use API: The framework provides a simple and intuitive API, allowing users to define and train neural networks with ease.
    • Integration with NumPy: Nano-AutoGrad seamlessly integrates with NumPy, enabling efficient array operations and computations.

Usage

To get started with Nano-AutoGrad, refer to the documentation for detailed usage instructions, examples, and API reference. Here are some basic steps to build and train a neural network using Nano-AutoGrad:

  • examples 1 :

     import numpy as np
     import autograd.core.nn as nn
     import autograd.torch.optim as nn
    
     class MyNeuralNetwork(na.Module):
         def __init__(self):
             self.linear = na.Linear(2, 1)
    
         def forward(self, x):
             return self.linear(x)
    
     network = MyNeuralNetwork()
     optimizer = na.SGD(network.parameters(), lr=0.1)
    
    
  • Example 2 : building ‘Linear Model’ using torch autograd engine

    
      import autograd.torch.nn as nn 
      import autograd.torch.tensor as Tensor
      import autograd.torch.optim as SGD
      import autograd.functiona as F
    
      class Model(nn.Module):
          def __init__(self):
              super().__init__()
              self.l1 = nn.Linear(784, 1568, name='l1')
              self.l2 = nn.Linear(1568, 392, name='l2')
              self.l3 = nn.Linear(392, 10, name='l3')
    
          def forward(self, x):
              z = F.relu(self.l1(x))
              z = F.relu(self.l2(z))
              out = F.log_softmax(self.l3(z))
              return out
    
      model = Model()
      optimizer = autograd.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=5e-2, weight_decay=1e-4)
      scheduler = autograd.optim.lr_scheduler.LinearLR(optimizer, start_factor=1.0, end_factor=0.75, total_iters=num_epochs)
