The hippynn python package - a modular library for atomistic machine learning with pytorch.

We aim to provide a powerful library for the training of atomistic (or physical point-cloud) machine learning. We want entry-level users to be able to efficiently train models to millions of datapoints, and a modular structure for extensions and contribution.

While hippynn's development so-far has centered around the HIP-NN architecture, don't let that discourage you if you are performing research with another model. Get in touch, and let's work together to provide a high-quality implementation of your work, either as a contribution or an interface extension to your own package.

Features:

Modular set of pytorch layers for atomistic operations

  • Atomistic operations can be tricky to write in native pytorch. Most operations provided here support linear-scaling models.
  • Model energy, force charge & charge moments, bond orders, and more!
  • nn.Modules are written with minimal reference to the rest of the library; if you want to use them in your scripts without using the rest of the features provided here -- no problem!

Graph level API for simple and flexible construction of models from pytorch components.

  • Build models based on the abstract physics/mathematics of the problem, without having to think about implementation details.
  • Graph nodes support native python syntax, for example different forms of loss can be directly added.
  • Link predicted values in the model with a database entry to compare predicted and true values
  • IndexType logic records metadata about tensor structure, and provides automatic conversion to compatible structures when possible.
  • Graph API is independent of module implementation.

Plot level API for tracking your training.

  • Using the graph API, define quantities to evaluate before, during, or after training as figures using matplotlib.

Training & Experiment API

  • Integrated with graph level API
  • Pretty-printing loss metrics, generating plots periodically
  • Callbacks and checkpointing

Custom Kernels for fast execution

  • Certain operations are not efficiently written in pure pytorch, we provide alternative implementations with numba and cupy
  • These are directly linked in with pytorch Autograd -- use them like native pytorch functions.
  • These provide advantages in memory footprint and speed
  • Includes CPU and GPU execution for custom kernels

Interfaces to other codes

  • ASE: Define ASE calculators based on the graph-level API.
  • PYSEQM: Use PYSEQM calculations as nodes in a graph.
  • LAMMPS: Use models from hippynn in LAMMPS via the MLIAP Unified interface.

Installation

  • Clone this repository and navigate into it.

Dependencies using conda:

  • Run conda install -c pytorch -c conda-forge --file conda_requirements.txt

Dependencies using pip:

  • Run pip install .
  • If you fee like tinkering, do an editable install: pip install -e .
  • You can install using all optional dependencies from pip with: pip install -e .[full]

Notes

  • Install dependencies with pip from requirements.txt .
  • Install dependencies with conda from conda_requirements.txt .
  • If you don't want pip to install them, conda install from file before installing hippynn. You may want to use -c pytorch for the pytorch channel. For ase and cupy, you probably want to use -c conda-forge.
  • Optional dependencies are in optional_dependencies.txt

Other things

We are currently under development. At the moment you should be prepared for breaking changes -- keep track of what version you are using if you need to maintain consistency.

As we clean up the rough edges, we are preparing a manuscript. If, in the mean time, you are using hippynn in your work, please cite this repository and the HIP-NN paper:
