1. Add a modalities parameter to the Kosmos class and the KosmosTokenizer class.

2. In the KosmosTokenizer.tokenize method, conditionally process images and audios based on the modalities parameter.

3. In the Kosmos.forward method, conditionally process images and audios based on the modalities parameter.

# After
def tokenize_texts(self, texts):
    texts = self.tokenizer(texts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True).input_ids
    return texts, textsCopy code

2. Resolved the NameError for KosmosTokenizer:

if is_classification:
# ...

if y_true.shape[1] > 1:
    self.loss_function = CrossEntropyLoss()Copy code

is_multiclass = self.is_multiclass_problem(y_true)

if is_multiclass:
    self.loss_function = CrossEntropyLoss()
else:

# No helper methodsCopy code

def is_classification_task(self, y_true):
    return np.issubdtype(y_true.dtype, np.integer)

def is_multiclass_problem(self, y_true):
    unique_values = np.unique(y_true)
    return len(unique_values) > 2Copy code

        return y_true.shape[1] > 1
    return False

Nebula [Reinforcement Iteration!]:

1. Reinforcement Learning for Loss Function Selection
Before: The original Nebula class used a series of heuristic rules to determine the appropriate loss function for a given task.
After: We introduced a reinforcement learning agent to learn the optimal loss function selection based on the data and model characteristics. This agent is trained using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm from the Stable-Baselines3 library.
Benefit: The reinforcement learning agent can adapt to different types of data and models, potentially leading to better loss function selection and improved model performance.

2. Custom State Representation
Before: The state representation was not explicitly defined.
After: We created a simple state representation that includes the number of unique values in y_true and the range of values in y_pred. This state representation can be customized based on specific needs.
Benefit: A well-designed state representation can help the reinforcement learning agent learn more effectively, leading to better loss function selection.

3. Custom Features Extractor
Before: The features extractor was not explicitly defined.
After: We created a custom features extractor for the reinforcement learning agent's policy network. This extractor processes the state representation and can be customized based on the specific state representation used.
Benefit: A custom features extractor can help the agent's policy network learn more effectively, leading to better loss function selection.

4. Loss Function Environment
Before: The environment for reinforcement learning was not defined.
After: We created a custom environment, LossFunctionEnv, that represents the problem of selecting the optimal loss function. This environment takes y_pred and y_true as inputs and defines the action and observation spaces accordingly.
Benefit: The custom environment allows the reinforcement learning agent to interact with the problem and learn the optimal loss function selection based on the data and model characteristics.

5. Integration of the Trained Agent into Nebula
Before: The original Nebula class used heuristic rules to determine the loss function.
After: We created a NebulaOptimized class that inherits from the original Nebula class and overrides the determine_loss_function method to use the trained reinforcement learning agent for selecting the optimal loss function.
Benefit: The integration of the trained agent into Nebula allows for dynamic and adaptive loss function selection based on the data and model characteristics, potentially leading to improved model performance.
 
 
1. Bug: TypeError related to the CustomFeaturesExtractor.__init__() method
Root cause: Incorrect handling of the observation_space argument in the CustomFeaturesExtractor class.
Solution: Pass the features_dim as a keyword argument in the features_extractor_kwargs dictionary and update the CustomFeaturesExtractor class.
Improvement:
Before:

class CustomFeaturesExtractor(BaseFeaturesExtractor):
    def __init__(self, observation_space):
        super().__init__(observation_space, features_dim=observation_space[0])Copy code

After:

class CustomFeaturesExtractor(BaseFeaturesExtractor):
    def __init__(self, observation_space, features_dim):
        super().__init__(observation_space, features_dim=features_dim)Copy code

Benefit: The observation space is now correctly handled, and the TypeError is resolved.
2. Bug: RuntimeError related to the dimensions of y_pred and y_true when computing the MSE loss
Root cause: Mismatch between the dimensions of y_pred and y_true when computing the MSE loss.
Solution: Modify the MSELoss class to handle this case by converting y_true to one-hot encoding before computing the loss.
Improvement:
Before:

class MSELoss(LossFunction):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.loss_function = nn.MSELoss()

    def compute_loss(self, y_pred, y_true):
        return self.loss_function(y_pred, y_true)Copy code

After:

class MSELoss(LossFunction):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.loss_function = nn.MSELoss()

    def compute_loss(self, y_pred, y_true):
        y_true_one_hot = torch.zeros_like(y_pred)
        y_true_one_hot.scatter_(1, y_true.unsqueeze(1), 1)
        return self.loss_function(y_pred, y_true_one_hot)Copy code

Benefit: The dimensions of y_pred and y_true are now correctly handled, and the RuntimeError is resolved.
3. Implement the state extraction logic in the NebulaOptimized class
Before:

def extract_state(self, y_pred, y_true):
    passCopy code

After:

def extract_state(self, y_pred, y_true):
    num_unique_values = len(torch.unique(y_true))
    pred_range = torch.max(y_pred) - torch.min(y_pred)
    state = [num_unique_values, pred_range.item()]
    return stateCopy code

Benefit: The state extraction logic is now implemented, allowing the agent to make predictions based on the state representation extracted from y_pred and y_true.
4. Bug: TypeError related to the map_action_to_loss_function function
Root cause: The action variable was a NumPy array when using PPO and a scalar when using A2C, causing issues when trying to convert it to an integer.
Solution: Check if the action variable is a NumPy array and convert it to an integer using the item() method.
Before:

def map_action_to_loss_function(action):
    action = int(action[0])
# ...Copy code

After:

def map_action_to_loss_function(action):
    if isinstance(action, np.ndarray):
        action = action.item()
# ...Copy code

Benefit: The code now works correctly with both PPO and A2C algorithms, allowing for more flexibility in choosing the reinforcement learning algorithm.
5. Improvement: Use A2C algorithm for discrete action spaces
Before:

from stable_baselines3 import DDPG

# ...

agent = DDPG("MlpPolicy", env, policy_kwargs=policy_kwargs, verbose=1)Copy code

After:

from stable_baselines3 import A2C

# ...

agent = A2C("MlpPolicy", env, policy_kwargs=policy_kwargs, verbose=1)Copy code

Benefit: The A2C algorithm is more suitable for discrete action spaces and can provide better sample efficiency and faster convergence compared to DDPG.
6. Improvement: Handle scalar action variable in map_action_to_loss_function
Before:

def map_action_to_loss_function(action):
    action = int(action[0])
# ...Copy code

After:

def map_action_to_loss_function(action):
    if isinstance(action, np.ndarray):
        action = action.item()
# ...Copy code

Benefit: The code now works correctly with both PPO and A2C algorithms, allowing for more flexibility in choosing the reinforcement learning algorithm.

Neo-X 🌌 Activation Function:

1. Adaptive step size (h)

• Before: Constant step size (h) in the fractional_derivative function

• After: Added a function to calculate adaptive step size based on input x

• Benefit: Better numerical approximation and potentially faster convergence during training

1. Caching base activation

• Before: Base activation function calculated multiple times

• After: Cached the result of the base activation function to avoid redundant calculations

• Benefit: Improved computational efficiency

1. Approximate fractional derivative

• Before: Used the Gruenwald-Letnikov definition for fractional derivative calculation

• After: Implemented an approximation function A(x, α, h) for fractional derivative calculation

• Benefit: Faster computation with a trade-off in accuracy, potentially leading to faster training

1. Increase the number of terms in the approximation
Before: n=10
After: n=20
Benefit: Increasing the number of terms in the Caputo fractional derivative approximation can improve the accuracy of the approximation, potentially leading to better performance of the activation function.

2. Optimize the adaptive step size
Before:

def adaptive_step_size(self, x, min_step=1e-6, max_step=1e-3):
    x_mean = torch.mean(x)
    x_std = torch.std(x)
    step_size = min_step + (x - x_mean) / x_std * (max_step - min_step)
    return step_sizeCopy code

After:

def adaptive_step_size(self, x, min_step=1e-6, max_step=1e-3):
    x_mean = torch.mean(x)
    x_std = torch.std(x)
    step_size = min_step + self.alpha * (x - x_mean) / x_std * (max_step - min_step)
    return step_sizeCopy code

Benefit: Introducing a learnable parameter alpha to control the adaptive step size allows the model to optimize the step size during training, potentially leading to better performance and faster convergence.

3. Use a more efficient activation function
Before: ReLU activation function

def relu_activation(x):
    return torch.relu(x)Copy code

After: Swish activation function with learnable parameter beta

class Swish(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Swish, self).__init__()
        self.beta = nn.Parameter(torch.tensor(1.0))

    def forward(self, x):
        return x * torch.sigmoid(self.beta * x)Copy code

Benefit: Replacing the ReLU activation function with the Swish activation function, which has a learnable parameter beta, can potentially improve the performance of the activation function by allowing it to adapt to the specific characteristics of the input data.

Knot-X Activation Function:

1. Vectorized knotx function: The original code used a for loop to iterate over each element of the input tensor. This was slow, especially for large input tensors. We vectorized the code using PyTorch's built-in broadcasting and vectorization capabilities.
Before:

def knotx(x):
    output = torch.empty_like(x)
    for i in range(x.shape[0]):
        x0, y0, z0 = x[i], x[i] + 1, x[i] + 2
        output[i] = lorenz_ode(x0, y0, z0)[-1]
    return output

After:

def knotx(x):
    x_flat = x.view(-1)
    knot_representation = np.array([convert_to_knot_representation(val.item()) for val in x_flat])
    lorenz_output = []
    for m, n in knot_representation:
        x0, y0, z0 = m, n, n + 1
        lorenz_output.append(lorenz_ode(x0, y0, z0)[-1])
    lorenz_output = torch.tensor(lorenz_output, dtype=torch.float32, device=x.device).view_as(x_flat)
    return x * (1 + lorenz_output)

Benefit: The vectorized code is faster and more memory-efficient, especially for large input tensors.
2. GPU acceleration: We added support for GPU acceleration using PyTorch's CUDA backend. This allows the code to run on compatible NVIDIA GPUs, which can significantly speed up computation.
Before:

device = torch.device('cpu')
x = torch.rand(1000000)
y = knotx(x)

After:

device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
x = torch.rand(1000000, device=device)
y = knotx(x)

Benefit: Using GPU acceleration can significantly speed up computation for large input tensors, reducing training times.
3. Memoization of Lorenz ODE solutions: Since the Lorenz ODE is a deterministic function, the output for a given set of initial conditions will always be the same. We added memoization to the lorenz_ode function to cache previously computed solutions, which can be reused for subsequent calls with the same initial conditions.
Here is the complete list of improvements made to the code:
Before:

def lorenz_ode(x0, y0, z0):
    sol = solve_ivp(lorenz_system, t_span, [x0, y0, z0], t_eval=t_eval, method='RK45')
    return sol.y[2][-1]

After:

_lorenz_cache = {}

def lorenz_ode(x0, y0, z0):
    # check if the solution is already cached
    if (x0, y0, z0) in _lorenz_cache:
        return _lorenz_cache[(x0, y0, z0)]

    # solve the ODE using SciPy's solve_ivp function
    sol = solve_ivp(lorenz_system, t_span, [x0, y0, z0], t_eval=t_eval, method='RK45')

    # cache the solution
    _lorenz_cache[(x0, y0, z0)] = sol.y[2, -1]

    # return the final value of z
    return _lorenz_cache[(x0, y0, z0)]

Changes Made:
4. Added caching to the lorenz_ode function to improve performance and avoid repeating the same calculations.
5. Modified the cache data structure to use a dictionary instead of a list, which allows for constant-time access to cached solutions.
6. Changed the return statement to return the cached solution instead of the sol.y[2][-1] value, which allows for caching and avoids unnecessary computation.

Ask Athena

• Switched theme from dark blue to violet and light blue

• Bug: Error: Client must be connected before running operations
Root Cause: The MongoDB client was not connected before running the insertOne operation.
Fix: Modify the handler function to ensure that the client is connected before running the operation and avoid closing the connection in a serverless environment.
Before:

await client.close();Copy code

After:

// Do not close the connection in a serverless environment// await client.close();Copy code

Benefit: Reusing the connection across multiple requests in a serverless environment improves performance and prevents issues related to running operations on a disconnected client.

• Publicize All Queries on their own page

• Fetching data using useEffect instead of getServerSideProps:

• Updating the QueryData interface and property names:
• Before: The QueryData interface had incorrect property names, which caused issues when rendering the gallery items.
• After: The QueryData interface was updated to match the property names in the fetched data, and the rendering code was updated accordingly.
• Benefit: Using the correct property names ensures that the fetched data is properly displayed in the gallery items.

• Adding conditional rendering checks for undefined or null data:
• Before: The gallery items were rendered without checking if the data was defined, which caused errors when encountering undefined or null values.
• After: Conditional rendering checks were added to ensure that the data is defined before rendering the gallery items.
• Benefit: Adding conditional rendering checks prevents errors related to undefined or null data and ensures a smooth user experience.

• Integrating the Search component and adding the title:
• Before: The GalleryPage component had a simple search bar input field and no title.
• After: The Search component was integrated into the GalleryPage, and a title was added with the requested text and styling.
• Benefit: Integrating the Search component provides a consistent search experience across the application, and adding the title improves the overall look and feel of the page.

• Updating the button styles and layout adjustments:
• Before: The gallery item buttons had a cyan background color and no hover effect. The layout had no spacing between the title, search bar, and gallery items.
• After: The button background color was changed to purple with a hover effect, and spacing was added between the title, search bar, and gallery items.
• Benefit: Updating the button styles and layout adjustments enhances the visual appearance of the page and provides a better user experience.

OmniMorph:

1. Embedding Registry:
Before: There was no centralized mechanism to store and manage available embedding classes.
After: Introduced the _embedding_registry dictionary to store modality types and their corresponding embedding classes.
Benefit: Provides a clean and organized way to manage available embeddings.
Example:

# Before
# Directly instantiating the embeddings
text_embedding = TextEmbedding()

# After
omni_morph.register_embedding('text', TextEmbedding)

2. Embedding Instances:
Before: Embeddings were instantiated directly without a unified management system.
After: Introduced the _embedding_instances dictionary to store instantiated embeddings.
Benefit: Allows for easy access and management of instantiated embeddings.
Example:

# Before
text_embedding = TextEmbedding()

# After
omni_morph.instantiate_embedding('text', num_embeddings=10000, embedding_dim=768)

3. Fusion Techniques:
Before: No fusion techniques were available in the OmniMorph class.
After: Introduced the _fusion_techniques dictionary to store and manage fusion techniques.
Benefit: Provides an organized way to add and use fusion techniques within the class.
Example:

# Before
# No fusion techniques

# After
omni_morph.register_fusion_technique('example_fusion', example_fusion_function)

4. Register and Instantiate:
Before: The registration and instantiation of embedding classes were separate processes.
After: Combined the registration and instantiation process into a single register_and_instantiate method.
Benefit: Simplifies the process of adding new embeddings and ensures that both the registry and instances are updated.
Example:

# Before
omni_morph.register_embedding('text', TextEmbedding)
omni_morph.instantiate_embedding('text', num_embeddings=10000, embedding_dim=768)

# After
omni_morph.register_and_instantiate('text', TextEmbedding, num_embeddings=10000, embedding_dim=768)

5. Forward Function Enhancements:
Before: The forward function only supported the default modality detection method.
After: Added support for file_extension, user_defined_modality, and custom_modality_fn parameters in the forward function.
Benefit: Provides flexibility for users to specify the modality and use custom detection logic when needed.
Example:

# Before
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input)

# After
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input, user_defined_modality='text', file_extension=".txt", custom_modality_fn=custom_modality_detector)

1. User-defined modality detection:
Before: The detect_modality method used only input data shape and dtype to detect the modality.
After: Added user_defined_modality parameter in the forward method, allowing users to manually specify the modality.
Benefit: Provides flexibility for users to specify the modality when the default detection method is insufficient.
Example:

# Before
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input)

# After
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input, user_defined_modality='text')

2. Custom modality detection function:
Before: The modality detection was limited to the predefined modalities in the detect_modality method.
After: Added custom_modality_fn parameter in the forward method, allowing users to provide a custom function for detecting the modality.
Benefit: Enables users to define their own modality detection logic, especially for new or unique data modalities.
Example:

# Before
custom_embedding = omni_morph(custom_input)

# After
def custom_modality_detector(input_data):
    if input_data.shape == torch.Size([1, 4, 4, 4]):
        return 'custom_vision'
    return None

custom_embedding = omni_morph(custom_input, custom_modality_fn=custom_modality_detector)

3. File extension-based modality detection:
Before: The detect_modality method relied solely on the input data's shape and dtype.
After: Added file_extension parameter in the detect_modality method, allowing users to provide a file extension for modality detection.
Benefit: Improves modality detection accuracy when the input data's shape and dtype are insufficient for determining the modality.
Example:

# Before
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input)

# After
text_embedding = omni_morph(text_input, file_extension=".txt")
