TfPyTh

Putting TensorFlow back in PyTorch, back in TensorFlow (with differentiable TensorFlow PyTorch adapters).

Do you have a codebase that uses TensorFlow and one that uses PyTorch and want to train a model that uses both end-to-end?

This library makes it possible without having to rewrite either codebase!

It allows you to wrap a TensorFlow graph to make it callable (and differentiable) through PyTorch, and vice-versa, using simple functions.

The only caveat is that tensors have to be copied and routed through the CPU until TensorFlow supports __cuda_array_interface (please star the GitHub issue).

Install

pip install tfpyth

Example

import tensorflow as tf
import torch as th
import numpy as np
import tfpyth

session = tf.Session()

def get_torch_function():
    a = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name='a')
    b = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name='b')
    c = 3 * a + 4 * b * b

    f = tfpyth.torch_from_tensorflow(session, [a, b], c).apply
    return f

f = get_torch_function()
a = th.tensor(1, dtype=th.float32, requires_grad=True)
b = th.tensor(3, dtype=th.float32, requires_grad=True)
x = f(a, b)

assert x == 39.

x.backward()

assert np.allclose((a.grad, b.grad), (3., 24.))

What it's got

torch_from_tensorflow

Future work

• support JAX
• support higher-order derivatives
