ATHENA: Advanced Techniques for High dimensional parameter spaces to Enhance Numerical Analysis

Table of contents

Description

ATHENA is a Python package for reduction of high dimensional parameter spaces in the context of numerical analysis. It allows the use of several dimensionality reduction techniques such as Active Subspaces (AS), Kernel-based Active Subspaces (KAS), and Nonlinear Level-set Learning (NLL). It is particularly suited for the study of parametric PDEs, for sensitivity analysis, and for the approximation of engineering quantities of interest. It can handle both scalar and vectorial high dimensional functions, making it a useful tool also to reduce the burden of computational intensive optimization tasks.

See the Examples and Tutorials section below and the tutorials folder to have an idea of the potential of this package. Check also out the SISSA mathLab medium publication where you can find stories about ATHENA (search within the publication page).

Dependencies and installation

ATHENA requires numpy, matplotlib, scipy, torch, GPyOpt, scikit-learn, scikit-learn-extra, sphinx (for the documentation) and pytest (for local test). The code is compatible with Python 3.8 and above. It can be installed directly from the source code or via pip.

Installing from pip

To install the latest release of the package, which corresponds to the online documentation, just type:

> pip install athena-mathlab

Installing from source

To install the latest version of the package just type:

> pip install git+https://github.com/mathLab/ATHENA.git

The official distribution is on GitHub, and you can clone the repository using

> git clone https://github.com/mathLab/ATHENA

To install your own local branch you can use the setup.py file

> pip install -e .

To uninstall the package you have to rerun the installation and record the installed files in order to remove them:

> pip uninstall athena-mathlab

Documentation

ATHENA uses Sphinx for code documentation. You can view the documentation online here. To build the html version of the docs locally simply:

> cd docs
> make html

The generated html can be found in docs/build/html. Open up the index.html you find there to browse.

Testing

We are using Github Actions for continuous intergration testing. You can check out the current status here.

To run tests locally (pytest is required):

> pytest

Examples and tutorials

You can find useful tutorials on how to use the package in the tutorials folder.

In the following some illustrative examples of what you can do with this package.

A 7-dimensional quadratic function with a 1-dimensional active subspace.

Parameter space deformation using the nonlinear level-set learning technique for a 2-dimensional cubic function.

How to contribute

We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow.

Submitting a patch

  1. It's generally best to start by opening a new issue describing the bug or feature you're intending to fix. Even if you think it's relatively minor, it's helpful to know what people are working on. Mention in the initial issue that you are planning to work on that bug or feature so that it can be assigned to you.

  2. Follow the normal process of forking the project, and setup a new branch to work in. It's important that each group of changes be done in separate branches in order to ensure that a pull request only includes the commits related to that bug or feature.

  3. To ensure properly formatted code, please make sure to use 4 spaces to indent the code. The easy way is to run on your bash the provided script: ./code_formatter.sh. You should also run pylint over your code. It's not strictly necessary that your code be completely "lint-free", but this will help you find common style issues.

  4. Any significant changes should almost always be accompanied by tests. The project already has good test coverage, so look at some of the existing tests if you're unsure how to go about it. We're using coveralls that is an invaluable tools for seeing which parts of your code aren't being exercised by your tests.

  5. Do your best to have well-formed commit messages for each change. This provides consistency throughout the project, and ensures that commit messages are able to be formatted properly by various git tools.

  6. Finally, push the commits to your fork and submit a pull request. Please, remember to rebase properly in order to maintain a clean, linear git history.
