- Merge tensorflow-nn and tensorflow-queue into tensorflow-ops.
They don't add extra dependencies and each contain a single module, so I
don't think it's worth separating them at the package level.
- Remove google-shim in favor of direct use of test-framework.
Distinguish between "rendered" and "unrendered" Tensors.
There are now three types of `Tensor`:
- `Tensor Value a`: rendered value
- `Tensor Ref a`: rendered reference
- `Tensor Build a` : unrendered value
The extra bookkeeping makes it easier to track (and enforce) which tensors are
rendered or not. For examples where this has been confusing in the past, see
With this change, pure ops look similar to before, returning `Tensor Build`
instead of `Tensor Value`. "Stateful" (monadic) ops are unchanged. For
example:
add :: OneOf [..] t => Tensor v'1 t -> Tensor v'2 t -> Tensor Build t
assign :: (MonadBuild m, TensorType t)
=> Tensor Ref t -> Tensor v'2 t -> m (Tensor Ref t)
The `gradients` function now requires that the variables over which it's
differentiating are pre-rendered:
gradients :: (..., Rendered v2) => Tensor v1 a -> [Tensor v2 a]
-> m [Tensor Value a]
(`Rendered v2` means that `v2` is either a `Ref` or a `Value`.)
Additionally, the implementation of `gradients` now takes care to render every
intermediate value when performing the reverse accumulation. I suspect this
fixes an exponential blowup for complicated expressions.
Each op `foo :: ...` now has a corresponding `foo' :: OpParams -> ...`
which lets you set optional attributes. `OpParams` is currently a type alias for
`OpDef -> OpDef`. In the future we should consider more type safety, e.g.,
using type-level strings and OverloadedLabels for optional attributes.
I used it to replace a few manual `buildOp`s in our code with the codegenerated
ops, now that it's easier to set attributes. I also removed `tensorAttr` and
`named` since it's now possible to set those op attributes directly.
Although this clutters up the API a bit, I think it's simpler than using type
classes to implement optional arguments (as in, for example, `Text.Printf`) --
especially in terms of type inference with the rest of the library.
Also removes all the ghc-8-specific logic in the .cabal files.
ghc-8 has issues with deeply nested tuples of constraints. We can
work around it by:
- Changing TensorTypes to a regular class. This required FlexibleContexts.
(But we'll probably need it anyway when we support heterogeneous tensor
lists.)
- Specializing NoneOf for long type lists.
For more details, see: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12175.
Also added 'directory' to tensorflow-core-ops' dependencies since it's used
in the Setup script.
One more step towards fixing #38.
