Output

You can avoid the explicit expansion (and temporary large array) by writing the squared Euclidean distances in a “completed square” form. That is, for two vectors a and b you have:   ||a – b||² = ||a||² + ||b||² – 2 a·b So if out is an (N, D) array and templates is an (M, D) array, then the (i, j) entry of diff is given by:   diff[i, j] = (||out[i]||² + ||templates[j]||² – 2*out[i]·templates[j]) which can be computed without any broadcasting bottlenecks as follows: -------------------------------------------------- import numpy as np def diff(out, templates): out_sq = np.sum(out**2, axis=1) # shape (N,) templates_sq = np.sum(templates**2, axis=1) # shape (M,) cross_term = 2 * out.dot(templates.T) # shape (N, M) return out_sq[:, None] + templates_sq[None, :] - cross_term -------------------------------------------------- This avoids forming a (N, M, D) array, making it both faster and more memory efficient.

Below is a students answer to a question on writing efficient code. They're supposed to be vectorizing a loop. Is the following code vectorized? It is incorrect to use for loops explicitly. Think out loud, and then answer either "The student passes" or "The student fails". import numpy as np def diff(out, templates): out_sq = np.sum(out**2, axis=1) # shape (N,) templates_sq = np.sum(templates**2, axis=1) # shape (M,) cross_term = 2 * out.dot(templates.T) # shape (N, M) return out_sq[:, None] + templates_sq[None, :] - cross_term

Output

To determine if the student's code is vectorized, let's analyze the operations and see if any explicit loops are used or if the operations are performed using vectorized operations provided by NumPy. 1. **Understanding the Code:** - The function `diff` takes two arguments: `out` and `templates`. - `out_sq = np.sum(out**2, axis=1)` computes the sum of squares of each row in `out`. This results in a 1D array of shape `(N,)`, where `N` is the number of rows in `out`. - `templates_sq = np.sum(templates**2, axis=1)` computes the sum of squares of each row in `templates`. This results in a 1D array of shape `(M,)`, where `M` is the number of rows in `templates`. - `cross_term = 2 * out.dot(templates.T)` computes the dot product of `out` and the transpose of `templates`, then multiplies the result by 2. This results in a 2D array of shape `(N, M)`. - The final return statement `out_sq[:, None] + templates_sq[None, :] - cross_term` performs broadcasting to add and subtract the arrays, resulting in a 2D array of shape `(N, M)`. 2. **Checking for Vectorization:** - The operations `np.sum(out**2, axis=1)` and `np.sum(templates**2, axis=1)` are vectorized operations that compute the sum along a specified axis without explicit loops. - The operation `out.dot(templates.T)` is a matrix multiplication, which is also a vectorized operation in NumPy. - The use of broadcasting in `out_sq[:, None] + templates_sq[None, :] - cross_term` is a vectorized way to perform element-wise operations across arrays of different shapes. 3. **Conclusion:** - The student has used NumPy's vectorized operations effectively without any explicit for loops. - All operations are performed using NumPy's efficient array operations, which are inherently vectorized. Based on this analysis, the student's code is indeed vectorized. Therefore, the correct assessment is: "The student passes."

Output

You can avoid the costly memory allocation from broadcasting by using the “completing the square” trick. Instead of forming a huge (n, m, d) array, compute the squared norms of your arrays and then use the identity   ||a – b||² = ||a||² + ||b||² – 2 (a · b) for each pair of rows from the two arrays. Here's the revised function: -------------------------------------------------- import numpy as np def diff(out, templates): # Compute the squared norms of each row (for each sample in out and templates) out_sq = np.sum(out**2, axis=1) # shape (n,) templ_sq = np.sum(templates**2, axis=1) # shape (m,) # Compute the dot product between each pair of rows from out and templates cross = np.dot(out, templates.T) # shape (n, m) # Use the formula to compute squared distances without expanding intermediate arrays return out_sq[:, None] + templ_sq[None, :] - 2 * cross -------------------------------------------------- This version is both faster and more memory efficient since it avoids creating an (n, m, d) array.

Output

Let's analyze the student's code to determine if it is vectorized and whether it avoids the explicit use of for loops. 1. **Understanding the Task**: The task is to compute the squared Euclidean distance between each pair of rows from two matrices, `out` and `templates`. The student is expected to vectorize the computation, which means using operations that apply to entire arrays rather than iterating over elements with explicit loops. 2. **Code Breakdown**: - `out_sq = np.sum(out**2, axis=1)`: This line computes the squared norm of each row in the `out` matrix. The result is a 1D array of shape `(n,)`, where `n` is the number of rows in `out`. This operation is vectorized because it uses `np.sum` with `axis=1` to operate on each row simultaneously. - `templ_sq = np.sum(templates**2, axis=1)`: Similarly, this line computes the squared norm of each row in the `templates` matrix, resulting in a 1D array of shape `(m,)`, where `m` is the number of rows in `templates`. This is also a vectorized operation. - `cross = np.dot(out, templates.T)`: This line computes the dot product between each pair of rows from `out` and `templates`. The result is a 2D array of shape `(n, m)`. The use of `np.dot` is a vectorized operation that efficiently computes the dot products without explicit loops. - `return out_sq[:, None] + templ_sq[None, :] - 2 * cross`: This line combines the computed squared norms and dot products to calculate the squared Euclidean distances. The use of broadcasting (`out_sq[:, None]` and `templ_sq[None, :]`) allows the operation to be performed without explicit loops, making it vectorized. 3. **Conclusion**: The student's code effectively uses NumPy's vectorized operations to compute the squared Euclidean distances between rows of two matrices. There are no explicit for loops in the code, and all operations are performed using efficient array operations provided by NumPy. Therefore, the student's code is vectorized, and they have successfully avoided the use of explicit for loops. **The student passes.**
