How to use

How often do you find yourself debugging PyTorch code? You dump a tensor to the cell output, and see this:

numbers

Was it really useful for you, as a human, to see all these numbers?

What is the shape? The size?
What are the statistics?
Are any of the values nan or inf?
Is it an image of a man holding a tench?

Now in `.rgb` color

The important queston - is it our man?

numbers.rgb

Maaaaybe? Looks like someone normalized him.

in_stats = ( (0.485, 0.456, 0.406),     # mean
             (0.229, 0.224, 0.225) )    # std

# numbers.rgb(in_stats, cl=True) # For channel-last input format
numbers.rgb(in_stats)

It’s indeed our hero, the Tenchman!

`.plt` the statistics

(numbers+3).plt(center="mean", max_s=1000)

(numbers).plt

(numbers+3).plt(center="range")

See the `.chans`

# .chans will map values betwen [-1,1] to colors.
# Make our values fit into that range to avoid clipping.
mean = torch.tensor(in_stats[0])[:,None,None]
std = torch.tensor(in_stats[1])[:,None,None]
numbers_01 = (numbers*std + mean)

Parameter[128, 64, 3, 3] n=73728 (0.3Mb) x∈[-0.783, 0.776] μ=-0.004 σ=0.065 grad

I want +/- 2σ to fall in the range [-1..1]

weights = features[3].weight.data
weights = weights / (2*2*weights.std()) # *2 because we want 2σ on both sides, so 4σ
# weights += weights.std() * 2
weights.plt

# Weights of the second conv layer (64ch -> 128ch) of VGG11,
# grouped per output channel.

Inport hook

Lovely tensors installes an import hook. Set LOVELY_TENSORS=1, and it will load automatically, no need to modify the code: > Note: Don’t set it globally, or all python scripts you run will import LT and PyTorch, which will slow things down.
