Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tensorlogic-train = { path = "../tensorlogic-train" }

Quick Start

use tensorlogic_train::{
    Trainer, TrainerConfig, MseLoss, AdamOptimizer, OptimizerConfig,
    EpochCallback, CallbackList, MetricTracker, Accuracy,
};
use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array2;
use std::collections::HashMap;

// Create loss function
let loss = Box::new(MseLoss);

// Create optimizer
let optimizer_config = OptimizerConfig {
    learning_rate: 0.001,
    ..Default::default()
};
let optimizer = Box::new(AdamOptimizer::new(optimizer_config));

// Create trainer
let config = TrainerConfig {
    num_epochs: 10,
    ..Default::default()
};
let mut trainer = Trainer::new(config, loss, optimizer);

// Add callbacks
let mut callbacks = CallbackList::new();
callbacks.add(Box::new(EpochCallback::new(true)));
trainer = trainer.with_callbacks(callbacks);

// Add metrics
let mut metrics = MetricTracker::new();
metrics.add(Box::new(Accuracy::default()));
trainer = trainer.with_metrics(metrics);

// Prepare data
let train_data = Array2::zeros((100, 10));
let train_targets = Array2::zeros((100, 2));
let val_data = Array2::zeros((20, 10));
let val_targets = Array2::zeros((20, 2));

// Train model
let mut parameters = HashMap::new();
parameters.insert("weights".to_string(), Array2::zeros((10, 2)));

let history = trainer.train(
    &train_data.view(),
    &train_targets.view(),
    Some(&val_data.view()),
    Some(&val_targets.view()),
    &mut parameters,
).unwrap();

// Access training history
println!("Training losses: {:?}", history.train_loss);
println!("Validation losses: {:?}", history.val_loss);
if let Some((best_epoch, best_loss)) = history.best_val_loss() {
    println!("Best validation loss: {} at epoch {}", best_loss, best_epoch);
}

Logical Loss Functions

Combine supervised learning with logical constraints:

use tensorlogic_train::{
    LogicalLoss, LossConfig, CrossEntropyLoss,
    RuleSatisfactionLoss, ConstraintViolationLoss,
};

// Configure loss weights
let config = LossConfig {
    supervised_weight: 1.0,
    constraint_weight: 10.0,  // Heavily penalize constraint violations
    rule_weight: 5.0,
    temperature: 1.0,
};

// Create logical loss
let logical_loss = LogicalLoss::new(
    config,
    Box::new(CrossEntropyLoss::default()),
    vec![Box::new(RuleSatisfactionLoss::default())],
    vec![Box::new(ConstraintViolationLoss::default())],
);

// Compute total loss
let total_loss = logical_loss.compute_total(
    &predictions.view(),
    &targets.view(),
    &rule_values,
    &constraint_values,
)?;

Early Stopping

Stop training automatically when validation stops improving:

use tensorlogic_train::{CallbackList, EarlyStoppingCallback};

let mut callbacks = CallbackList::new();
callbacks.add(Box::new(EarlyStoppingCallback::new(
    5,      // patience: Wait 5 epochs without improvement
    0.001,  // min_delta: Minimum improvement threshold
)));

trainer = trainer.with_callbacks(callbacks);
// Training will stop automatically if validation doesn't improve for 5 epochs

Checkpointing

Save model checkpoints during training:

use tensorlogic_train::{CallbackList, CheckpointCallback};
use std::path::PathBuf;

let mut callbacks = CallbackList::new();
callbacks.add(Box::new(CheckpointCallback::new(
    PathBuf::from("/tmp/checkpoints"),
    1,    // save_frequency: Save every epoch
    true, // save_best_only: Only save when validation improves
)));

trainer = trainer.with_callbacks(callbacks);

Learning Rate Scheduling

Adjust learning rate during training:

use tensorlogic_train::{CosineAnnealingLrScheduler, LrScheduler};

let scheduler = Box::new(CosineAnnealingLrScheduler::new(
    0.001,   // initial_lr
    0.00001, // min_lr
    100,     // t_max: Total epochs
));

trainer = trainer.with_scheduler(scheduler);

Gradient Clipping by Norm

Use L2 norm clipping for stable training of deep networks:

use tensorlogic_train::{AdamOptimizer, OptimizerConfig, GradClipMode};

let optimizer = Box::new(AdamOptimizer::new(OptimizerConfig {
    learning_rate: 0.001,
    grad_clip: Some(5.0),  // Clip if global L2 norm > 5.0
    grad_clip_mode: GradClipMode::Norm,  // Use L2 norm clipping
    ..Default::default()
}));

// Global L2 norm is computed across all parameters:
// norm = sqrt(sum(g_i^2 for all gradients g_i))
// If norm > 5.0, all gradients are scaled by (5.0 / norm)

Enhanced Metrics

Confusion Matrix

use tensorlogic_train::ConfusionMatrix;

let cm = ConfusionMatrix::compute(&predictions.view(), &targets.view())?;

// Pretty print the confusion matrix
println!("{}", cm);
// Output:
// Confusion Matrix:
//          0    1    2
//   0|     45    2    1
//   1|      1   38    3
//   2|      0    2   48

// Get per-class metrics
let precision = cm.precision_per_class();
let recall = cm.recall_per_class();
let f1 = cm.f1_per_class();

// Get overall accuracy
println!("Accuracy: {:.4}", cm.accuracy());

ROC Curve and AUC

use tensorlogic_train::RocCurve;

// Binary classification example
let predictions = vec![0.9, 0.8, 0.3, 0.1];
let targets = vec![true, true, false, false];

let roc = RocCurve::compute(&predictions, &targets)?;

// Compute AUC
println!("AUC: {:.4}", roc.auc());

// Access ROC curve points
for (fpr, tpr, threshold) in izip!(
    &roc.fpr,
    &roc.tpr,
    &roc.thresholds
) {
    println!("FPR: {:.4}, TPR: {:.4}, Threshold: {:.4}",
             fpr, tpr, threshold);
}

Per-Class Metrics Report

use tensorlogic_train::PerClassMetrics;

let metrics = PerClassMetrics::compute(&predictions.view(), &targets.view())?;

// Pretty print comprehensive report
println!("{}", metrics);
// Output:
// Per-Class Metrics:
// Class  Precision  Recall  F1-Score  Support
// -----  ---------  ------  --------  -------
//     0     0.9583  0.9200    0.9388       50

// -----  ---------  ------  --------  -------
// Macro     0.9410  0.9283    0.9345      142

Custom Model Implementation

Implement the Model trait for your own architectures:

use tensorlogic_train::{Model, TrainResult};
use scirs2_core::ndarray::{Array, ArrayView, Ix2};
use std::collections::HashMap;

struct TwoLayerNet {
    parameters: HashMap<String, Array<f64, Ix2>>,
    hidden_size: usize,
}

impl TwoLayerNet {
    pub fn new(input_size: usize, hidden_size: usize, output_size: usize) -> Self {
        let mut parameters = HashMap::new();

        // Initialize weights (simplified - use proper initialization)
        parameters.insert(
            "W1".to_string(),
            Array::zeros((input_size, hidden_size))
        );
        parameters.insert(
            "b1".to_string(),
            Array::zeros((1, hidden_size))
        );
        parameters.insert(
            "W2".to_string(),
            Array::zeros((hidden_size, output_size))
        );
        parameters.insert(
            "b2".to_string(),
            Array::zeros((1, output_size))
        );

        Self { parameters, hidden_size }
    }
}

impl Model for TwoLayerNet {
    fn forward(&self, input: &ArrayView<f64, Ix2>) -> TrainResult<Array<f64, Ix2>> {
        let w1 = self.parameters.get("W1").unwrap();
        let b1 = self.parameters.get("b1").unwrap();
        let w2 = self.parameters.get("W2").unwrap();
        let b2 = self.parameters.get("b2").unwrap();

        // Forward pass: hidden = ReLU(X @ W1 + b1)
        let hidden = (input.dot(w1) + b1).mapv(|x| x.max(0.0));

        // Output: Y = hidden @ W2 + b2
        let output = hidden.dot(w2) + b2;

        Ok(output)
    }

    fn backward(
        &self,
        input: &ArrayView<f64, Ix2>,
        grad_output: &ArrayView<f64, Ix2>,
    ) -> TrainResult<HashMap<String, Array<f64, Ix2>>> {
        // Implement backpropagation
        // (Simplified - in practice, cache activations from forward pass)
        let mut gradients = HashMap::new();

        // Compute gradients for W2, b2, W1, b1
        // ...

        Ok(gradients)
    }

    fn parameters(&self) -> &HashMap<String, Array<f64, Ix2>> {
        &self.parameters
    }

    fn parameters_mut(&mut self) -> &mut HashMap<String, Array<f64, Ix2>> {
        &mut self.parameters
    }

    fn set_parameters(&mut self, parameters: HashMap<String, Array<f64, Ix2>>) {
        self.parameters = parameters;
    }
}

Regularization

Prevent overfitting with L1, L2, or Elastic Net regularization:

use tensorlogic_train::{L2Regularization, Regularizer};
use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array2;
use std::collections::HashMap;

// Create L2 regularization (weight decay)
let regularizer = L2Regularization::new(0.01); // lambda = 0.01

// Compute regularization penalty
let mut parameters = HashMap::new();
parameters.insert("weights".to_string(), Array2::ones((10, 5)));

let penalty = regularizer.compute_penalty(&parameters)?;
let gradients = regularizer.compute_gradient(&parameters)?;

// Add penalty to loss and gradients to parameter updates
total_loss += penalty;

Elastic Net (L1 + L2)

use tensorlogic_train::ElasticNetRegularization;

// Combine L1 (sparsity) and L2 (smoothness)
let regularizer = ElasticNetRegularization::new(
    0.01,  // l1_lambda
    0.01,  // l2_lambda
);

Data Augmentation

Apply on-the-fly data augmentation during training:

use tensorlogic_train::{NoiseAugmenter, ScaleAugmenter, MixupAugmenter, DataAugmenter};
use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array2;

// Gaussian noise augmentation
let noise_aug = NoiseAugmenter::new(0.0, 0.1); // mean=0, std=0.1
let augmented = noise_aug.augment(&data.view())?;

// Scale augmentation
let scale_aug = ScaleAugmenter::new(0.8, 1.2); // scale between 0.8x and 1.2x
let scaled = scale_aug.augment(&data.view())?;

// Mixup augmentation (Zhang et al., ICLR 2018)
let mixup = MixupAugmenter::new(1.0); // alpha = 1.0 (uniform mixing)
let (mixed_data, mixed_targets) = mixup.mixup(
    &data.view(),
    &targets.view(),
    0.3, // lambda: mixing coefficient
)?;

Composable Augmentation Pipeline

use tensorlogic_train::CompositeAugmenter;

let mut pipeline = CompositeAugmenter::new();
pipeline.add(Box::new(NoiseAugmenter::new(0.0, 0.05)));
pipeline.add(Box::new(ScaleAugmenter::new(0.9, 1.1)));

// Apply all augmentations in sequence
let augmented = pipeline.augment(&data.view())?;

Logging and Monitoring

Track training progress with multiple logging backends:

use tensorlogic_train::{ConsoleLogger, FileLogger, MetricsLogger, LoggingBackend};
use std::path::PathBuf;

// Console logging with timestamps
let console = ConsoleLogger::new(true); // with_timestamp = true
console.log_epoch(1, 10, 0.532, Some(0.612))?;
// Output: [2025-11-06 10:30:15] Epoch 1/10 - Loss: 0.5320 - Val Loss: 0.6120

// File logging
let file_logger = FileLogger::new(
    PathBuf::from("/tmp/training.log"),
    true, // append mode
)?;
file_logger.log_batch(1, 100, 0.425)?;

// Aggregate metrics across backends
let mut metrics_logger = MetricsLogger::new();
metrics_logger.add_backend(Box::new(console));
metrics_logger.add_backend(Box::new(file_logger));

// Log to all backends
metrics_logger.log_metric("accuracy", 0.95)?;
metrics_logger.log_epoch(5, 20, 0.234, Some(0.287))?;

Key Traits

• Model: Forward/backward passes and parameter management
• AutodiffModel: Automatic differentiation integration (trait extension)
• DynamicModel: Variable-sized input support

Integration with SciRS2

This crate strictly follows the SciRS2 integration policy:

// ✅ Correct: Use SciRS2 types
use scirs2_core::ndarray::{Array, Array2};
use scirs2_autograd::Variable;

// ❌ Wrong: Never use these directly
// use ndarray::Array2;  // Never!
// use rand::thread_rng; // Never!

All tensor operations use scirs2_core::ndarray, ready for seamless integration with scirs2-autograd for automatic differentiation.
