PyxLSTM 1.0.1

Description:

PyxLSTM 1.0.1

PyxLSTM
PyxLSTM is a Python library that provides an efficient and extensible implementation of the Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) architecture based on the research paper "xLSTM: Extended Long Short-Term Memory" by Beck et al. (2024). xLSTM enhances the traditional LSTM by introducing exponential gating, memory mixing, and a matrix memory structure, enabling improved performance and scalability for sequence modeling tasks.
Features

Implements the sLSTM (scalar LSTM) and mLSTM (matrix LSTM) variants of xLSTM
Supports pre and post up-projection block structures for flexible model architectures
Provides high-level model definition and training utilities for ease of use
Includes scripts for training, evaluation, and text generation
Offers data processing utilities and customizable dataset classes
Lightweight and modular design for seamless integration into existing projects
Extensively tested and documented for reliability and usability
Suitable for a wide range of sequence modeling tasks, including language modeling, text generation, and more

Installation
To install PyxLSTM, you can use pip:
pip install PyxLSTM

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install it manually:
git clone https://github.com/muditbhargava66/PyxLSTM.git
cd PyxLSTM
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Usage
Here's a basic example of how to use PyxLSTM for language modeling:
from xLSTM.model import xLSTM
from xLSTM.data import LanguageModelingDataset, Tokenizer
from xLSTM.utils import load_config, set_seed, get_device

# Load configuration
config = load_config("path/to/config.yaml")
set_seed(config.seed)
device = get_device()

# Initialize tokenizer and dataset
tokenizer = Tokenizer(config.vocab_file)
train_dataset = LanguageModelingDataset(config.train_data, tokenizer, config.max_length)

# Create xLSTM model
model = xLSTM(len(tokenizer), config.embedding_size, config.hidden_size,
config.num_layers, config.num_blocks, config.dropout,
config.bidirectional, config.lstm_type)
model.to(device)

# Train the model
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=config.learning_rate)
criterion = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss(ignore_index=tokenizer.pad_token_id)
train(model, train_dataset, optimizer, criterion, config, device)

Running and Testing the Codebase
To run and test the PyxLSTM codebase, follow these steps:


Clone the PyxLSTM repository:
git clone https://github.com/muditbhargava66/PyxLSTM.git



Navigate to the cloned directory:
cd PyxLSTM



Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt



Run the unit tests:
python -m unittest discover tests

This command will run all the unit tests located in the tests directory. It will execute the test files test_slstm.py, test_mlstm.py, test_block.py, and test_model.py.


If all the tests pass successfully, you can proceed to run the example script:
python examples/language_modeling.py --config path/to/config.yaml

Replace path/to/config.yaml with the actual path to your configuration file. The configuration file should specify the dataset paths, model hyperparameters, and other settings.
The language_modeling.py script will train an xLSTM model on the specified dataset using the provided configuration.


Monitor the training progress and metrics:
During training, the script will display the training progress, including the current epoch, training loss, and validation loss. Keep an eye on these metrics to ensure the model is learning properly.


Evaluate the trained model:
After training, you can evaluate the trained model on a test dataset using the evaluate.py script:
python scripts/evaluate.py --test_data path/to/test_data.txt --vocab_file path/to/vocab.txt --checkpoint_path path/to/checkpoint.pt

Replace the placeholders with the actual paths to your test data, vocabulary file, and the checkpoint file generated during training.
The evaluate.py script will load the trained model from the checkpoint and evaluate its performance on the test dataset, providing metrics such as test loss and perplexity.


Generate text using the trained model:
You can use the trained model to generate text using the generate.py script:
python scripts/generate.py --vocab_file path/to/vocab.txt --checkpoint_path path/to/checkpoint.pt --prompt "Your prompt text"

Replace the placeholders with the actual paths to your vocabulary file, checkpoint file, and provide a prompt text to initiate the generation.
The generate.py script will load the trained model and generate text based on the provided prompt.


These steps should help you run and test the PyxLSTM codebase. Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed and the required data files (train, validation, and test datasets) available.
If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please refer to the PyxLSTM documentation or reach out to the maintainers for assistance.
