[![Build Status](https://ci.tensorflow.org/buildStatus/icon?job=tensorflow-haskell-master)](https://ci.tensorflow.org/job/tensorflow-haskell-master)

The tensorflow-haskell package provides Haskell bindings to
[TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/).

This is not an official Google product.

# Documentation

https://tensorflow.github.io/haskell/haddock/

[TensorFlow.Core](https://tensorflow.github.io/haskell/haddock/tensorflow-0.1.0.0/TensorFlow-Core.html)
is a good place to start.

# Examples

Neural network model for the MNIST dataset: [code](tensorflow-mnist/app/Main.hs)

Toy example of a linear regression model
([full code](tensorflow-ops/tests/RegressionTest.hs)):

```haskell
import Control.Monad (replicateM, replicateM_)
import System.Random (randomIO)
import Test.HUnit (assertBool)

import qualified TensorFlow.Core as TF
import qualified TensorFlow.GenOps.Core as TF
import qualified TensorFlow.Minimize as TF
import qualified TensorFlow.Ops as TF hiding (initializedVariable)
import qualified TensorFlow.Variable as TF

main :: IO ()
main = do
    -- Generate data where `y = x*3 + 8`.
    xData <- replicateM 100 randomIO
    let yData = [x*3 + 8 | x <- xData]
    -- Fit linear regression model.
    (w, b) <- fit xData yData
    assertBool "w == 3" (abs (3 - w) < 0.001)
    assertBool "b == 8" (abs (8 - b) < 0.001)

fit :: [Float] -> [Float] -> IO (Float, Float)
fit xData yData = TF.runSession $ do
    -- Create tensorflow constants for x and y.
    let x = TF.vector xData
        y = TF.vector yData
    -- Create scalar variables for slope and intercept.
    w <- TF.initializedVariable 0
    b <- TF.initializedVariable 0
    -- Define the loss function.
    let yHat = (x `TF.mul` TF.readValue w) `TF.add` TF.readValue b
        loss = TF.square (yHat `TF.sub` y)
    -- Optimize with gradient descent.
    trainStep <- TF.minimizeWith (TF.gradientDescent 0.001) loss [w, b]
    replicateM_ 1000 (TF.run trainStep)
    -- Return the learned parameters.
    (TF.Scalar w', TF.Scalar b') <- TF.run (TF.readValue w, TF.readValue b)
    return (w', b')
```

# Installation Instructions

Note: building this repository with `stack` requires version `1.4.0` or newer.
Check your stack version with `stack --version` in a terminal.

## Build with Docker on Linux

As an expedient we use [docker](https://www.docker.com/) for building. Once you have docker
working, the following commands will compile and run the tests.

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/haskell.git tensorflow-haskell
    cd tensorflow-haskell
    IMAGE_NAME=tensorflow/haskell:v0
    docker build -t $IMAGE_NAME docker
    # TODO: move the setup step to the docker script.
    stack --docker --docker-image=$IMAGE_NAME setup
    stack --docker --docker-image=$IMAGE_NAME test

There is also a demo application:

    cd tensorflow-mnist
    stack --docker --docker-image=$IMAGE_NAME build --exec Main

## Build on macOS

Run the [install_macos_dependencies.sh](./tools/install_macos_dependencies.sh)
script in the `tools/` directory. The script installs dependencies
via [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) and then downloads and installs the TensorFlow
library on your machine under `/usr/local`.

After running the script to install system dependencies, build the project with stack:

    stack test

## Build on NixOS

`tools/userchroot.nix` expression contains definitions to open
chroot-environment containing necessary dependencies. Type

    $ nix-shell tools/userchroot.nix
    $ stack build --system-ghc

to enter the environment and build the project. Note, that it is an emulation
of common Linux environment rather than full-featured Nix package expression.
No exportable Nix package will appear, but local development is possible.
