TensorLy is a Python library that aims at making tensor learning simple and accessible. It allows to easily perform tensor decomposition, tensor learning and tensor algebra. Its backend system allows to seamlessly perform computation with NumPy, PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, CuPy or Paddle, and run methods at scale on CPU or GPU.
The only pre-requisite is to have Python 3 installed. The easiest way is via the Anaconda distribution <https://www.anaconda.com/download/>

| # clone the repository |
| git clone https://github.com/tensorly/tensorly |
| cd tensorly |
| # Install in editable mode with -e
or, equivalently, --editable
|
| pip install -e . |

Note: TensorLy depends on NumPy by default. If you want to use other backends, you will need to install these packages separately.
For detailed instruction, please see the documentation <http://tensorly.org/dev/installation.html>
_.
Create a small third order tensor of size 3 x 4 x 2, from a NumPy array and perform simple operations on it:
.. code:: python
import tensorly as tl import numpy as np
tensor = tl.tensor(np.arange(24).reshape((3, 4, 2)), dtype=tl.float64) unfolded = tl.unfold(tensor, mode=0) tl.fold(unfolded, mode=0, shape=tensor.shape)
You can also create random tensors:
.. code:: python
from tensorly import random
tensor = random.random_tensor((3, 4, 2))
cp_tensor = random.random_tensor(shape=(3, 4, 2), rank='same')
You can also create tensors in TT-format, Tucker, etc, see random tensors <http://tensorly.org/stable/modules/api.html#module-tensorly.random>
_.
You can change the backend to perform computation with a different framework. By default, the backend is NumPy, but you can also perform the computation using PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, CuPy or Paddle (requires to have installed them first). For instance, after setting the backend to PyTorch, all the computation is done by PyTorch, and tensors can be created on GPU:
.. code:: python
tl.set_backend('pytorch') # Or 'numpy', 'tensorflow', 'cupy' or 'jax' tensor = tl.tensor(np.arange(24).reshape((3, 4, 2)), device='cuda:0') type(tensor) # torch.Tensor
Applying tensor decomposition is easy:
.. code:: python
from tensorly.decomposition import tucker
tucker_tensor = tucker(tensor, rank=[2, 2, 2])
tl.tucker_to_tensor(tucker_tensor)
We have many more decompositions <http://tensorly.org/stable/modules/api.html#module-tensorly.decomposition>
_ available, be sure to check them out!
This is just a very quick introduction to some of the basic features of TensorLy.
For more information on getting started, checkout the user-guide <http://tensorly.org/dev/user_guide/index.html>
_ and for a detailed reference of the functions and their documentation, refer to
the API <http://tensorly.org/dev/modules/api.html>

If you see a bug, open an issue <https://github.com/tensorly/tensorly/issues>
, or better yet, a pull-request <https://github.com/tensorly/tensorly/pulls>
!
All contributions are welcome! So if you have a cool tensor method you want to add, if you spot a bug or even a typo or mistake in the documentation, please report it, and even better, open a Pull-Request on GitHub <https://github.com/tensorly/tensorly/>

Before you submit your changes, you should make sure your code adheres to our style-guide. The easiest way to do this is with black
:
.. code:: bash
pip install black black .
Testing and documentation are an essential part of this package and all functions come with uni-tests and documentation.
The tests are ran using the pytest
package.
First install pytest
::
pip install pytest
Then to run the test, simply run, in the terminal:
.. code::
pytest -v tensorly
Alternatively, you can specify for which backend you wish to run the tests:
.. code::
TENSORLY_BACKEND='numpy' pytest -v tensorly
