# pyprobml

Python 3 code to reproduce the figures in the books
[Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction](https://probml.github.io/pml-book/book1.html) (aka "book 1")
and
[Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics](https://probml.github.io/pml-book/book2.html)
(aka "book 2").
The code uses the standard Python libraries, such as numpy, scipy, matplotlib, sklearn,  etc.
Some of the code (especially in book 2) also uses [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax),
and in some parts of book 1, we also use  [Tensorflow 2](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow)
and a little bit of [Torch](https://github.com/pytorch).
See also [probml-utils](https://github.com/probml/probml-utils) for some utility code that is shared across multiple notebooks.

For the latest status of the code,
see [Book 1 dashboard](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/blob/workflow_testing_indicator/dashboard_figures_book1.md)
and [Book 2 dashboard](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/blob/workflow_testing_indicator/dashboard_figures_book2.md).
As of September 2022, this code is now in maintenance mode.

## Running the notebooks

The notebooks needed to make all the figures are available at the following locations.

* [All notebooks (sorted by filename)](https://probml.github.io/notebooks)
* [Book 1 notebooks (sorted by chapter)](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/tree/master/notebooks/book1)
* [Book 2 notebooks (sorted by chapter)](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/tree/master/notebooks/book2).

### Running notebooks in colab

[Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb) has most of the libraries you will need (e.g., scikit-learn,  JAX) pre-installed, and gives you access to a free GPU and TPU. We have a created a 
[colab intro](https://colab.research.google.com/github/probml/pyprobml/blob/master/notebooks/tutorials/colab_intro.ipynb)
notebook with more details. To run the notebooks on colab in any browser, you can go to a particular notebook on GitHub and change the domain from `github.com` to `githubtocolab.com` as suggested [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/67344477/13330701). If you are using Google Chrome browser, you can use ["Open in Colab" Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-in-colab/iogfkhleblhcpcekbiedikdehleodpjo) to do the same with a single click.

## Running the notebooks locally

We assume you have already installed [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax#installation) and
[Tensorflow](https://www.tensorflow.org/install) and [Torch](https://pytorch.org/),
since the details on how to do this depend on whether you have a CPU, GPU, etc.

You can use any of the following options to install the other requirements.

* Option 1

```bash
pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/probml/pyprobml/master/requirements.txt
```

* Option 2

Download [requirements.txt](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/blob/master/requirements.txt) locally to your path and run

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

* Option 3

Run the following. (Note the `--depth 1` prevents installing the whole history, which is very large).
```
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/probml/pyprobml.git
```
Then install manually.

If you want to save the figures, you first need to execute something like this
```
#export FIG_DIR="/teamspace/studios/this_studio/figures"

import os
os.environ["FIG_DIR"] = "/teamspace/studios/this_studio/pyprobml/notebooks/figures"
os.environ["DUAL_SAVE"] = "1" # both pdf and png
```
This is used by the [savefig](https://github.com/probml/probml-utils/blob/main/probml_utils/plotting.py#L78) function
to store pdf files.

## Cloud computing

When you want more power or control than colab gives you,
I recommend you use
https://lightning.ai/docs/overview/studios,
which makes it very easy to develop using VScode, running on a VM accessed from your  web browser;
you can then launch on one or more GPUs when needed with a single button click.
Alternatively, if you are a power user, you can try Google Cloud Platform, which supports GPUs and TPUs;
see this [short tutorial on Colab, GCP and TPUs](https://github.com/probml/pyprobml/blob/master/notebooks/tutorials/colab_gcp_tpu_tutorial.md).
