History

v1.1 series

v1.1.0 (xx xxx 20xx)

New features:

  • Added models: ApogeeKplerEchelle

  • 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 model 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

Breaking Changes:

  • Deprecated support for all Tensorflow 1.x

  • Dropped optional Keras support, now depends on Tensorflow only

  • Tested with Tensorflow 2.7 and 2.8

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

  • Change 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
