v1.1 series

v1.1.0 (26 April 2023)

This release mainly targeted to the paper A variational encoder-decoder approach to precise spectroscopic age estimation for large Galactic surveys available at [arXiv:2302.05479] [ADS]

New features:

• Added models: ApogeeKplerEchelle and ApokascEncoderDecoder

• Input data can now be a dict, such as nn.train({'input': input_data, 'input': aux_input_data}, {'output': labels, 'output_aux': aux_labels})

• Added numerical integrator for NeuralODE

• tqdm progress bar for model prediction

• Added a new improved version Galaxy10

• Added multiple metrics based on median

• Added functions transfer_weights forr transfer learning

Improvement:

• Fully compatible with Tensorflow 2

• Model training/inference should be much faster by using Tensorflow v2 eager execution (see: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/33024#issuecomment-551184305)

• Improved continuous integration testing with Github Actions, now actually test models learn properly with real world data instead of checking no syntax error with random data

• Support sample_weight in all losss functions and training

• Improved catalog coordinates matching

• New documentation webpages

• ~15% faster in Bayesian neural network inference by using parallelized loop

• Loss/metrics functions and normalizer now check for NaN too

• Updated many of notebooks to be compable with the latest Tensorflow

Breaking Changes:

• Deprecated support for all Tensorflow 1.x

• Tested with Tensorflow 2.11 and 2.12

• Python 3.8 or above only

• Incompatible to Tensorflow 1.x and <=2.3 due to necessary changes for Tensorflow eager execution API

• Renamed neural network models train(), test(), train_on_batch() method to fit(), predict(), fit_on_batch()

• Old Galaxy10 has been renamed to Galaxy10 SDSS and the new version will replace and call Galaxy10
