datarax.operators.probabilistic_operator ¤

ProbabilisticOperator - Wrapper for probability-based operator application.

This operator wraps any OperatorModule and applies it with a configured probability.

Key Features:

  • Wraps any OperatorModule with probabilistic application
  • Configurable probability (0.0 to 1.0)
  • Stochastic mode when 0 < p < 1
  • Deterministic mode when p = 0.0 or p = 1.0
  • Full JAX compatibility with JIT compilation
  • Minimal overhead wrapper pattern

Examples:

Basic usage:

config = ProbabilisticOperatorConfig(operator=child_op, probability=0.5)
op = ProbabilisticOperator(config, rngs=rngs)

ProbabilisticOperatorConfig dataclass ¤

ProbabilisticOperatorConfig(cacheable: bool = False, batch_stats_fn: Callable | Module | None = None, precomputed_stats: dict[str, Any] | None = None, stochastic: bool = False, stream_name: str | None = None, batch_strategy: str = 'vmap', *, operator: OperatorModule, probability: float = 0.5)

Bases: OperatorConfig

Configuration for ProbabilisticOperator.

Extends OperatorConfig with probability parameter and child operator.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
operator OperatorModule

Child operator to wrap with probabilistic application

probability float

Probability of applying the operator (0.0 to 1.0) - 0.0: never apply (deterministic) - 1.0: always apply (deterministic) - 0 < p < 1: probabilistic (stochastic)

Note:

- stochastic is automatically set based on probability
- stream_name is inherited from child operator if stochastic

ProbabilisticOperator ¤

ProbabilisticOperator(config: ProbabilisticOperatorConfig, *, rngs: Rngs | None = None)

Bases: OperatorModule

Wrapper operator that applies child operator with configured probability.

Wraps any OperatorModule and applies it probabilistically:

- p=0.0: never apply (passthrough)
- p=1.0: always apply (equivalent to child operator)
- 0<p<1: apply with probability p (stochastic)

Uses jax.lax.cond for JIT-compatible conditional execution.

Examples:

Probabilistic application:

# Wrap any operator with 50% application probability
child_config = BrightnessOperatorConfig(field_key="image", factor_range=(0.8, 1.2))
child_op = BrightnessOperator(child_config, rngs=nnx.Rngs(0))

prob_config = ProbabilisticOperatorConfig(
    operator=child_op,
    probability=0.5
)
prob_op = ProbabilisticOperator(prob_config, rngs=nnx.Rngs(0))

# Apply to batch - each element has 50% chance of brightness adjustment
result_batch = prob_op(batch)

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
config ProbabilisticOperatorConfig

ProbabilisticOperatorConfig with child operator and probability

required
rngs Rngs | None

Random number generators (required if stochastic=True)

None

probability instance-attribute ¤

probability = probability

rngs instance-attribute ¤

rngs = rngs

name instance-attribute ¤

name = static(name)

generate_random_params ¤

generate_random_params(rng: Array, data_shapes: PyTree) -> dict[str, Any] | PyTree

Generate random application decisions for each batch element.

Creates boolean mask determining which elements get the operator applied.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
rng Array

JAX random key

required
data_shapes PyTree

PyTree with same structure as batch.data, containing shapes Examples: {"image": (batch_size, H, W, C)}

required

Returns:

Type Description

dict[str, Any] | PyTree
  • If deterministic (p=0 or p=1): Child's random params (or None if child deterministic)
Note

The base class ALWAYS calls generate_random_params, so we must always delegate to child to get its params (even for deterministic ProbabilisticOperator).

apply ¤

apply(data: PyTree, state: PyTree, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None, random_params: Any = None, stats: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> tuple[PyTree, PyTree, dict[str, Any] | None]

Apply child operator conditionally based on probability.

Uses jax.lax.cond for JIT-compatible conditional execution.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
data PyTree

Element data PyTree (no batch dimension)

required
state PyTree

Element state PyTree

required
metadata dict[str, Any] | None

Element metadata

required
random_params Any

Dict with "apply_mask" (bool) and "child_params" For deterministic modes, can be None

Optional statistics

None

Returns:

Type Description
PyTree

Tuple of (transformed_data, state, metadata)

PyTree
  • If applied: child operator's output
dict[str, Any] | None
  • If not applied: input data/state/metadata unchanged

get_operation_stats ¤

get_operation_stats() -> dict[str, int]

Get operation statistics.

Note: This method converts JAX arrays to Python ints for introspection. It is intended for use outside of JIT-compiled functions.

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, int]

Dictionary with 'applied_count' and 'skipped_count'

reset_operation_stats ¤

reset_operation_stats() -> None

Reset operation statistics to zero.

Note: Creates new JAX arrays to reset the counters.

compute_statistics ¤

compute_statistics(data: Any) -> dict[str, Any] | None

Compute statistics from data using batch_stats_fn.

If batch_stats_fn is not configured, returns None. Computed statistics are cached in _computed_stats.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
data Any

Input data to compute statistics from

required

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any] | None

Dictionary of statistics, or None if no batch_stats_fn configured

get_statistics ¤

get_statistics() -> dict[str, Any] | None

Get current statistics.

Returns precomputed_stats if configured (unless reset was called), otherwise returns cached computed statistics, or None if no statistics available.

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any] | None

Dictionary of statistics, or None if no statistics available

set_statistics ¤

set_statistics(stats: dict[str, Any]) -> None

Manually set statistics.

This overwrites any previously computed statistics and clears reset flag.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stats dict[str, Any]

Dictionary of statistics to set

required

reset_statistics ¤

reset_statistics() -> None

Reset all statistics to None.

This clears both computed statistics and marks that precomputed_stats should be ignored (via internal flag). After reset, get_statistics() will return None until new statistics are set or computed.

reset_cache ¤

reset_cache() -> None

Clear the cache.

Only has effect if cacheable=True in config.

copy ¤

copy(*, config: DataraxModuleConfig | None = None, rngs: Rngs | None = None, name: str | None = None) -> DataraxModule

Create a copy of this module with optional config/parameter changes.

This allows creating a new module instance with modified configuration while preserving other attributes. Useful for hyperparameter tuning.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
config DataraxModuleConfig | None

New config (if None, uses current config)

None
rngs Rngs | None

New RNG state (if None, uses current rngs)

None
name str | None

New name (if None, uses current name)

None

Returns:

Type Description
DataraxModule

New module instance with updated parameters

Examples:

Change configuration¤

new_config = DataraxModuleConfig(cacheable=True) new_module = module.copy(config=new_config)

Change name only¤

renamed = module.copy(name="new_name")

Note

Subclasses can override this method to provide more fine-grained control over copying, such as allowing individual config field updates without requiring dataclass replace().

get_state ¤

get_state() -> dict[str, Any]

Get module state for checkpointing.

This method implements the Checkpointable protocol using NNX state management. It extracts all state variables from the module and converts them to a serializable format.

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any]

A dictionary containing the internal state of the component.

set_state ¤

set_state(state: dict[str, Any]) -> None

Restore module state from a checkpoint.

This method implements the Checkpointable protocol using NNX state management. It restores the module state from a serialized format. Restoration is strict: checkpoint structure must match module state.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
state dict[str, Any]

A dictionary containing the internal state to restore.

required

Raises:

Type Description
TypeError

If state is not a dictionary.

ValueError

If checkpoint structure does not match module state.

clone ¤

clone() -> DataraxModule

Create a new instance with the same state as this module.

Uses NNX's clone function for proper deep cloning of all state.

Returns:

Type Description
DataraxModule

A new module instance with the same state.

requires_rng_streams ¤

requires_rng_streams() -> list[str] | None

Get the list of RNG streams required by this module.

Returns:

Type Description
list[str] | None

A list of required RNG stream names, or None if no RNG streams

list[str] | None

are required.

ensure_rng_streams ¤

ensure_rng_streams(stream_names: list[str]) -> None

Ensure that the required RNG streams are available.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stream_names list[str]

A list of available RNG stream names.

required

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If a required RNG stream is not available.

get_output_structure ¤

get_output_structure(sample_data: PyTree, sample_state: PyTree) -> tuple[PyTree, PyTree]

Declare output PyTree structure for vmap axis specification.

Default uses jax.eval_shape to discover structure automatically. Override for efficiency or when eval_shape doesn't work (e.g., data-dependent shapes).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
sample_data PyTree

Single element data (not batched)

required
sample_state PyTree

Single element state (not batched)

required

Returns:

Type Description
PyTree

Tuple of (output_data_structure, output_state_structure) with None leaves.

PyTree

The structure (keys/nesting) matters, leaf values are ignored.

Example override for operator that adds keys

def get_output_structure(self, sample_data, sample_state): out_data = { **jax.tree.map(lambda _: None, sample_data), "score": None, "alignment": None, } return out_data, sample_state

apply_batch ¤

apply_batch(batch: Batch, stats: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> Batch

Process entire batch with vmap and optional RNG generation.

This method implements the batch processing logic for both stochastic and deterministic modes. It uses static branching on self.stochastic for JIT compilation efficiency.

The implementation delegates to _vmap_apply() for the shared computational core, then wraps the result in a Batch object.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
batch Batch

Input batch (Batch[Element] structure)

required
stats dict[str, Any] | None

Optional statistics (if None, uses get_statistics())

None

Returns:

Type Description
Batch

Transformed batch with same structure

Note

This method is concrete (not abstract). Subclasses typically don't override it, but can if they need custom batch processing logic.

output_spec ¤

output_spec(input_spec: PyTree) -> PyTree

Return the operator's output spec given an input spec.

Most operators (normalization, additive noise, simple element-wise transforms) do not change shape; the default returns input_spec unchanged. Shape-changing operators (Resize, Crop, Reshape) MUST override this method.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input_spec PyTree

PyTree of jax.ShapeDtypeStruct describing the input element (matching the upstream DataSourceModule.element_spec() or another operator's output_spec).

required

Returns:

Type Description
PyTree

PyTree of jax.ShapeDtypeStruct describing the operator's output.

PyTree

By default, equal to input_spec.
