Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.
Gradients provide a self consistency test function to perform gradient checking on your deep learning models. It uses centered finite difference approximation method to check the difference between analytical and numerical gradients and report if the check fails on any parameters of your model. Currently the library supports only PyTorch models built with custom layers, custom loss functions, activation functions and any neural network function subclassing AutoGrad
.
pip install gradients
Optimizing deep learning models is a two step process:
Compute gradients with respect to parameters
Update the parameters given the gradients
In PyTorch, step 1 is done by the type-based automatic differentiation system torch.nn.autograd
and 2 by the package implementing optimization algorithms torch.optim
. Using them, we can develop fully customized deep learning models with torch.nn.Module
and test them using Gradient
as follows;
class MySigmoid(torch.autograd.Function):
@staticmethod
def forward(ctx, input):
output = 1/(1+torch.exp(-input))
ctx.save_for_backward(output)
return output
@staticmethod
def backward(ctx, grad_output):
input, = ctx.saved_tensors
return grad_output*input*(1-input)
class MSELoss(torch.autograd.Function):
@staticmethod
def forward(ctx, y_pred, y):
ctx.save_for_backward(y_pred, y)
return ((y_pred-y)**2).sum()/y_pred.shape[0]
@staticmethod
def backward(ctx, grad_output):
y_pred, y = ctx.saved_tensors
grad_input = 2 * (y_pred-y)/y_pred.shape[0]
return grad_input, None
class MyModel(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self,D_in, D_out):
super(MyModel,self).__init__()
self.w1 = torch.nn.Parameter(torch.randn(D_in, D_out), requires_grad=True)
self.sigmoid = MySigmoid.apply
def forward(self,x):
y_pred = self.sigmoid(x.mm(self.w1))
return y_pred
import torch
from gradients import Gradient
N, D_in, D_out = 10, 4, 3
# Create random Tensors to hold inputs and outputs
x = torch.randn(N, D_in)
y = torch.randn(N, D_out)
# Construct model by instantiating the class defined above
mymodel = MyModel(D_in, D_out)
criterion = MSELoss.apply
# Test custom build model
Gradient(mymodel,x,y,criterion,eps=1e-8)
