torch_openreml.covariance.LowerTriangularMatrix¶

class torch_openreml.covariance.LowerTriangularMatrix(n, m, param_specs=None)[source]¶

Bases: Matrix

Lower triangular matrix parameterised by its lower-triangular entries.

The matrix has free parameters for all entries on or below the diagonal (i.e., \(j \le i\) and \(j < m\)). Entries above the diagonal are fixed at zero:

\[\begin{split}\symbf{L}_{ij} = \begin{cases} \theta_{ij} & i \ge j \;\text{and}\; j < m \\ 0 & i < j \end{cases}\end{split}\]

All parameters (including diagonal entries) are unconstrained and use TransformIdentity by default.

Initialize a lower triangular matrix of size n x m.

By default, the matrix has free parameters for all entries on or below the diagonal, all using TransformIdentity (unconstrained).

Parameters:

n (int, list, tuple or pandas.Series) – Number of rows, or a vector of levels whose distinct elements define it.
m (int, list, tuple or pandas.Series) – Number of columns, or a vector of levels whose distinct elements define it.
param_specs (dict) – Parameter specifications. Keys should be strings representing parameter names. Values should be dictionaries containing the specification for each parameter. Each specification dictionary should contain the keys "fixed", "default", and "trans", representing whether the parameter is fixed or free (bool), the default value (1D torch.Tensor), and the transform (Transform), respectively.

Example:

import torch
from torch_openreml.covariance import LowerTriangularMatrix

mat = LowerTriangularMatrix(3, 2)
mat

LowerTriangularMatrix(shape=(3, 2), param_specs={'L_0_0': {'fixed': False, 'default': tensor([1.]), 'trans': TransformIdentity()}, ..., 'L_2_1': {'fixed': False, 'default': tensor([1.]), 'trans': TransformIdentity()}})

free_params = torch.tensor([0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.2, -0.3])
mat(free_params)

tensor([[ 0.0000,  0.0000],
        [ 0.5000,  1.0000],
        [ 0.2000, -0.3000]])

mat.grad(free_params)

          [0., 0.],

__call__(free_params=None)[source]¶

Construct the matrix from a flat parameter tensor.

Must be implemented by subclasses. Implementations should convert free_params via build_params() to validate, include fixed parameters, and apply transforms before any computation.

Parameters:: free_params (torch.Tensor or dict) – Flat 1D parameter tensor or parameter dictionary. If omitted, default values are used. Default: None.
Returns:: Constructed matrix of shape shape.
Return type:: torch.Tensor

manual_grad(free_params=None)[source]¶

Compute the Jacobian of __call__() with respect to trainable parameters using a closed-form analytic expression.

Parameters:: free_params (torch.Tensor or dict) – Flat 1D parameter tensor or parameter dictionary. If omitted, default values are used. Default: None.
Returns:: (grad, grad_names), where grad is a 3D tensor of shape (num_free_params, *shape) and grad_names is a list of the corresponding parameter names. Returns (None, []) when the matrix has no free parameters, after free_params is validated via build_params().
Return type:: tuple
