Crate tinygrad

tinygrad

tinygrad is a crate for building and training neural networks in Rust. It provides a simple interface for defining tensors, performing forward and backward passes, and implementing basic operations such as dot products and summation.

Quick Start

Get started with the tinygrad library by following these simple steps:

1. Install the tinygrad crate by adding the following line to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
tinygrad = "0.1.0"

2. Use the Tensor and ForwardBackward traits to create and work with tensors:

use ndarray::{array, Array1};
use tinygrad::{Tensor, Context, TensorTrait};

// Create a tensor
let value = array![1.0, 2.0, 3.0];
let tensor = Tensor::new(value);

// Perform forward and backward passes
let mut ctx = Context::new();
let result = tensor.forward(&mut ctx, vec![tensor.get_value()]);
tensor.backward(&mut ctx, array![1.0, 1.0, 1.0].view());

3. Implement custom operations by defining structs that implement the ForwardBackward trait:

use ndarray::ArrayView1;
use tinygrad::{ForwardBackward, Context, TensorTrait};

// Example operation: Dot product
struct Dot;

impl ForwardBackward for Dot {
    fn forward(&self, _ctx: &mut Context, inputs: Vec<ArrayView1<f64>>) -> f64 {
        let input = &inputs[0];
        let weight = &inputs[1];
        input.dot(weight)
    }

    fn backward(&self, ctx: &mut Context, grad_output: ArrayView1<f64>) {
        // Implement backward pass
        // ...
    }
}

Structs

Context

Represents the computation context, storing tensors for backward pass computations.

Tensor

Represents a basic implementation of a tensor.

Traits

ForwardBackward
