tfp.substrates.numpy.distributions.DeterminantalPointProcess(
    eigenvalues, eigenvectors, validate_args=False, allow_nan_stats=False,
    name='DeterminantalPointProcess'
)

The DPP disribution parameterized by the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the L-ensemble matrix. The L-ensemble matrix indicates the degree of "repulsion" between pairs of items.

Mathematical details

A Determinantal Point Process is a distribution over subsets of n items, called the ground set. The DPP is parameterized by a positive definite matrix of shape n x n, the L-ensemble matrix. It assigns to any subset S of {1, ..., n} the probability:

Pr(S) = det(L_S) / det(I + L)

where:

• L is the L-ensemble matrix parameterized by eigenvalues and eigenvectors, i.e. L = U D U^T for U = eigenvectors and D = eigenvalues.
• L_S is the principal submatrix of L indexed by items in S. In Numpy slicing notation, L_S = L[S, :][:, S].
• det is the matrix determinant.

Marginal probabilities, i.e. the probability that a sample from the DPP contains the subset S, are obtained by way of the marginal kernel:

K = L / (I + L)

where / is the matrix inverse.

When sampling a random set A from the DPP, the marginal probability of S, given by exp(dpp.marginal_log_prob(S)), is:

Pr(A is a superset of S) = det(K_S)

This is a marginal probability in the following sense. If we think of the DPP as a joint distribution over n binary indicator variables, each telling whether a given element is in a given subset S, then we can consider the marginal distribution obtained by "summing" out some of these binary indicators. The resulting marginal distribution happens also to be a DPP. What is referred to as the marginal_log_prob of S (under the original DPP) is just the log_prob of S under the marginal DPP, obtained by summing out the indicators of the complement of S. This tells us the (log) probability that a sample from the full DPP includes S as a subset.

Written in terms of sets, with each S' a subset of the complement of S:

det(K_S) = sum_{S' s.t. S' intersect S is empty} [ Pr(S union S') ]

where Pr(S union S') is the probability of sampling exactly S union S' from the DPP.

For further detail, see Theorem 2.2 of [3].

Repulsion

Rewriting L = B B^T (which in particular can be done using B = U sqrt(D), where D are the eigenvalues and U the eigenvectors), we have

Pr(S) = Vol^2(b_s1, b_s2, ..., b_sk)

where b_s1, ... is the s1th column of B. Hence, the probability of sampling two points simultaneously decreases as a function of how colinear their corresponding eigenvectors are.

Sampling

Sampling is implemented following the algorithm introduced in 2, and proceeds in two phases.

Given an orthonormalization L = U D U^T:

• First, an elementary DPP (E-DPP) is built by sampling a subset of eigenvectors S from a Bernoulli distribution with probs equal to D / (D + 1). This E-DPP has the same eigenvectors U as L, but its eigenvalues are 1 iff the corresponding Bernoulli trial was succesful, 0 otherwise.

• Then, a number of points k equal to the number of selected eigenvalues is selected iteratively from the elementary DPP. After sampling a point i, the kernel is updated by projecting it onto the subspace of eigenvectors orthogonal to the ith basis vector.

Examples

Sample points on the unit square grid:

import itertools
from tensorflow_probability.python.internal.backend import numpy as tf
import tensorflow_probability as tfp; tfp = tfp.substrates.numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfpk = tfp.math.psd_kernels

grid_size = 16
# Generate grid_size**2 pts on the unit square.
grid = np.arange(0, 1, 1./grid_size)
points = np.array(list(itertools.product(grid, grid)))

# Create the kernel L that parameterizes the DPP.
kernel_amplitude = 2.
kernel_lengthscale = 2. / grid_size
kernel = tfpk.ExponentiatedQuadratic(kernel_amplitude, kernel_lengthscale)
kernel_matrix = kernel.matrix(points, points)

eigenvalues, eigenvectors = tf.linalg.eigh(kernel_matrix)
dpp = tfd.DeterminantalPointProcess(eigenvalues, eigenvectors)

# The inner-most dimension of the result of `dpp.sample` is a multi-hot
# encoding of a subset of {1, ..., ground_set_size}.

plt.figure(figsize=(6, 6))
for i, samp in enumerate(dpp.sample(4, seed=(1, 2))):  # 4 x grid_size**2
  plt.subplot(221 + i)
  plt.scatter(*points[np.where(samp)].T)
  plt.xticks([])
  plt.yticks([])
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

# Like any TFP distribution, the DPP supports batching and shaped samples.

kernel_amplitude = [2., 3, 4]  # Build a batch of 3 PSD kernels.
kernel_lengthscale = 2. / grid_size
kernel = tfpk.ExponentiatedQuadratic(kernel_amplitude, kernel_lengthscale)
kernel_matrix = kernel.matrix(points, points)  # 3 x 256 x 256

eigenvalues, eigenvectors = tf.linalg.eigh(kernel_matrix)
dpp = tfd.DeterminantalPointProcess(eigenvalues, eigenvectors)
print(dpp)  # batch shape: [3], event shape: [256]
samps = dpp.sample(2, seed=(10, 20))
print(samps.shape)  # shape: [2, 3, 256]
print(dpp.log_prob(samps))  # tensor with shape [2, 3]

Args
eigenvalues	float Tensor representing the eigenvalues of the DPP kernel (a.k.a. "L"). All eigenvalues must be > 0. Shape has the form [b1, ..., bB, n] where n is the number of points in the ground set.
eigenvectors	float Tensor representing the column eigenvectors of the DPP kernel ("L"), provided in the same order as the eigenvalues. Shape has the form [b1, ..., bB, n, n] where n is the number of points in the ground set. The batch shape components need not be identical to those of eigenvalues, but must be broadcast compatible with them.
validate_args	Python bool, default False. When True distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When False invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: False.
allow_nan_stats	Python bool, default True. When True, statistics (e.g., mean, mode, variance) use the value "NaN" to indicate the result is undefined. When False, an exception is raised if one or more of the statistic's batch members are undefined. Default value: False.
name	Python str name prefixed to ops created by this class.

Attributes
allow_nan_stats	Python bool describing behavior when a stat is undefined. Stats return +/- infinity when it makes sense. E.g., the variance of a Cauchy distribution is infinity. However, sometimes the statistic is undefined, e.g., if a distribution's pdf does not achieve a maximum within the support of the distribution, the mode is undefined. If the mean is undefined, then by definition the variance is undefined. E.g. the mean for Student's T for df = 1 is undefined (no clear way to say it is either + or - infinity), so the variance = E[(X - mean)**2] is also undefined.
batch_shape	Shape of a single sample from a single event index as a TensorShape. May be partially defined or unknown. The batch dimensions are indexes into independent, non-identical parameterizations of this distribution.
dtype	The DType of Tensors handled by this Distribution.
eigenvalues
eigenvectors
event_shape	Shape of a single sample from a single batch as a TensorShape. May be partially defined or unknown.
experimental_shard_axis_names	The list or structure of lists of active shard axis names.

parameters	Dictionary of parameters used to instantiate this Distribution.
reparameterization_type	Describes how samples from the distribution are reparameterized. Currently this is one of the static instances tfd.FULLY_REPARAMETERIZED or tfd.NOT_REPARAMETERIZED.

covariance

View source

covariance(
    name='covariance', **kwargs
)

Covariance.

Covariance is (possibly) defined only for non-scalar-event distributions.

For example, for a length-k, vector-valued distribution, it is calculated as,

Cov[i, j] = Covariance(X_i, X_j) = E[(X_i - E[X_i]) (X_j - E[X_j])]

where Cov is a (batch of) k x k matrix, 0 <= (i, j) < k, and E denotes expectation.

Alternatively, for non-vector, multivariate distributions (e.g., matrix-valued, Wishart), Covariance shall return a (batch of) matrices under some vectorization of the events, i.e.,

Cov[i, j] = Covariance(Vec(X)_i, Vec(X)_j) = [as above]

where Cov is a (batch of) k' x k' matrices, 0 <= (i, j) < k' = reduce_prod(event_shape), and Vec is some function mapping indices of this distribution's event dimensions to indices of a length-k' vector.

Args
name	Python str prepended to names of ops created by this function.
**kwargs	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
covariance	Floating-point Tensor with shape [B1, ..., Bn, k', k'] where the first n dimensions are batch coordinates and k' = reduce_prod(self.event_shape).

experimental_default_event_space_bijector

View source

experimental_default_event_space_bijector(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Bijector mapping the reals (R**n) to the event space of the distribution.

Distributions with continuous support may implement _default_event_space_bijector which returns a subclass of tfp.bijectors.Bijector that maps R**n to the distribution's event space. For example, the default bijector for the Beta distribution is tfp.bijectors.Sigmoid(), which maps the real line to [0, 1], the support of the Beta distribution. The default bijector for the CholeskyLKJ distribution is tfp.bijectors.CorrelationCholesky, which maps R^(k * (k-1) // 2) to the submanifold of k x k lower triangular matrices with ones along the diagonal.

The purpose of experimental_default_event_space_bijector is to enable gradient descent in an unconstrained space for Variational Inference and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods. Some effort has been made to choose bijectors such that the tails of the distribution in the unconstrained space are between Gaussian and Exponential.

For distributions with discrete event space, or for which TFP currently lacks a suitable bijector, this function returns None.

Args
*args	Passed to implementation _default_event_space_bijector.
**kwargs	Passed to implementation _default_event_space_bijector.

Returns
event_space_bijector	Bijector instance or None.

Args
value	a Tensor valid sample from this distribution family.
sample_ndims	Positive int Tensor number of leftmost dimensions of value that index i.i.d. samples. Default value: 1.
validate_args	Python bool, default False. When True, distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When False, invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: False.
**init_kwargs	Additional keyword arguments passed through to cls.__init__. These take precedence in case of collision with the fitted parameters; for example, tfd.Normal.experimental_fit([1., 1.], scale=20.) returns a Normal distribution with scale=20. rather than the maximum likelihood parameter scale=0..

Returns
maximum_likelihood_instance	instance of cls with parameters that maximize the likelihood of value.

View source

experimental_sample_and_log_prob(
    sample_shape=(), seed=None, name='sample_and_log_prob', **kwargs
)

KL[p, q] = E_p[log(p(X)/q(X))]
         = -int_F p(x) log q(x) dr(x) + int_F p(x) log p(x) dr(x)
         = H[p, q] - H[p]

where F denotes the support of the random variable X ~ p, H[., .] denotes (Shannon) cross entropy, and H[.] denotes (Shannon) entropy.

    value, name='log_cdf', **kwargs
)

Log cumulative distribution function.

Given random variable X, the cumulative distribution function cdf is:

log_cdf(x) := Log[ P[X <= x] ]

Often, a numerical approximation can be used for log_cdf(x) that yields a more accurate answer than simply taking the logarithm of the cdf when x << -1.

                         = Log[ 1 - P[X <= x] ]
                         = Log[ 1 - cdf(x) ]

View source

    name='mode', **kwargs
)

Mode.

param_shapes

View source

@classmethod
param_shapes(
    sample_shape, name='DistributionParamShapes'
)

Shapes of parameters given the desired shape of a call to sample().

This is a class method that describes what key/value arguments are required to instantiate the given Distribution so that a particular shape is returned for that instance's call to sample().

Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes.

Args
sample_shape	Tensor or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call to sample().
name	name to prepend ops with.

Returns
dict of parameter name to Tensor shapes.

param_static_shapes

View source

@classmethod
param_static_shapes(
    sample_shape
)

param_shapes with static (i.e. TensorShape) shapes.

This is a class method that describes what key/value arguments are required to instantiate the given Distribution so that a particular shape is returned for that instance's call to sample(). Assumes that the sample's shape is known statically.

Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes to return constant-valued tensors when constant values are fed.

Args
sample_shape	TensorShape or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call to sample().

Returns
dict of parameter name to TensorShape.

Raises
ValueError	if sample_shape is a TensorShape and is not fully defined.

parameter_properties

View source

@classmethod
parameter_properties(
    dtype=tf.float32, num_classes=None
)

Returns a dict mapping constructor arg names to property annotations.

This dict should include an entry for each of the distribution's Tensor-valued constructor arguments.

Distribution subclasses are not required to implement _parameter_properties, so this method may raise NotImplementedError. Providing a _parameter_properties implementation enables several advanced features, including:

• Distribution batch slicing (sliced_distribution = distribution[i:j]).
• Automatic inference of _batch_shape and _batch_shape_tensor, which must otherwise be computed explicitly.
• Automatic instantiation of the distribution within TFP's internal property tests.
• Automatic construction of 'trainable' instances of the distribution using appropriate bijectors to avoid violating parameter constraints. This enables the distribution family to be used easily as a surrogate posterior in variational inference.

In the future, parameter property annotations may enable additional functionality; for example, returning Distribution instances from tf.vectorized_map.

Args
dtype	Optional float dtype to assume for continuous-valued parameters. Some constraining bijectors require advance knowledge of the dtype because certain constants (e.g., tfb.Softplus.low) must be instantiated with the same dtype as the values to be transformed.
num_classes	Optional int Tensor number of classes to assume when inferring the shape of parameters for categorical-like distributions. Otherwise ignored.

Returns
parameter_properties	A str ->tfp.python.internal.parameter_properties.ParameterPropertiesdict mapping constructor argument names toParameterProperties` instances.

Raises
NotImplementedError	if the distribution class does not implement _parameter_properties.

Given random variable X, the survival function is defined:

survival_function(x) = P[X > x]
                     = 1 - P[X <= x]
                     = 1 - cdf(x).

unnormalized_log_prob

View source

unnormalized_log_prob(
    value, name='unnormalized_log_prob', **kwargs
)

Potentially unnormalized log probability density/mass function.

This function is similar to log_prob, but does not require that the return value be normalized. (Normalization here refers to the total integral of probability being one, as it should be by definition for any probability distribution.) This is useful, for example, for distributions where the normalization constant is difficult or expensive to compute. By default, this simply calls log_prob.
