# Kaliningraph: A Type Family of Algebraic Graphs

[![Kotlin 1.6.20](https://img.shields.io/badge/Kotlin-1.6.20-blue.svg?style=flat&logo=kotlin)](http://kotlinlang.org)
[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/ai.hypergraph/kaliningraph.svg?label=Maven%20Central)](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:%22ai.hypergraph%22)
[![CI](https://github.com/breandan/kaliningraph/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/breandan/kaliningraph/actions)

This library implements a new computational model which we call [graph computation](http://breandan.net/2020/06/30/graph-computation/). In contrast with prior work, e.g., Turing's machine and Church's λ-calculus, the advantage of this model is that it can be directly translated to iterated matrix multiplication on GPUs and has many desirable algebraic properties. Furthermore, it offers a natural way to express algebraic circuits, neural networks, factor graphs, proof networks, and enjoys many connections to programming language theory, automata theory and category theory.

Kaliningraph currently supports backpropagation in [Kotlin∇](https://github.com/breandan/kotlingrad). Efforts to lower other propagation schemes, e.g., belief propagation, uncertainty propagation, unit propagation, survey propagation and constraint propagation are ongoing. All of these schemes operate according to a principle known as message passing and are in general known to be Turing complete. This unification allows us to study many common problems in related domains using well-studied tools from arithmetic circuit complexity, to spectral and algebraic graph theory.

## Installation

Kaliningraph is hosted on [Maven Central](https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/index.html#nexus-search;quick~kaliningraph).

### Gradle

```kotlin
dependencies {
implementation("ai.hypergraph:kaliningraph:0.1.8")
}
```

### Maven

```xml

ai.hypergraph
kaliningraph
0.1.8

```

### Jupyter notebook

To access notebook support, use the following line magic:

```
@file:DependsOn("ai.hypergraph:kaliningraph:0.1.8")
```

For more information, explore our tutorials:

* [Hello Kaliningraph.ipynb](notebooks/Hello%20Kaliningraph.ipynb)
* [Program Graphs.ipynb](notebooks/Program%20Graphs.ipynb)

## Graphs, inductively

What are graphs? A [graph](src/commonMain/kotlin/ai/hypergraph/kaliningraph/types/Graph.kt) is a (possibly empty) set of vertices.

What are vertices? A vertex is a unique label with neighbors (possibly containing itself).

What are neighbors? Neighbors are a graph.

## Circuits, inductively

What is a circuit? A circuit is either:

* A Boolean logic gate (e.g., `and`, `or`, `not`)
* A circuit that takes two inputs and swaps them `(a, b) -> (b, a)`
* A circuit that takes one input and gives one output `a -> b`
* The serial composition of two circuits `(a->c, c->d) -> (a->d)`
* The parallel composition of two circuits `(a->b, c->d) -> (a, b) -> (c, d)`

[//]: # (Editorial: The problem with digital circuit design is that it uses the wrong abstractions. Our friends in EE are not bad engineers -- hardware designers are clearly intelligent people -- they just did not study computer science and lack the time or imagination to think for themselves. CPUs are finite state machines -- thus, they are exactly equivalent to Boolean algebra -- sequential logic is NOT necessary! Scheduling, resource binding, register allocation, datapath generation, control generation, all the way down to place and route -- ALL OF THIS be encoded as SAT constraints on a Boolean domain. Unroll the loops! I tried to explain this to them, but they would not listen. One day, they may see the light.)

## Getting started

Run [the demo](src/jvmTest/kotlin/ai/hypergraph/kaliningraph/HelloKaliningraph.kt) via `./gradlew jvmTest --tests "ai.hypergraph.kaliningraph.HelloKaliningraph"` to get started.

## Usage

Kaliningraph treats string adjacency and graph adjacency as the same. To construct a graph, simply enumerate [walks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(graph_theory)).

This can be done using a raw string, in which case unique characters will form the vertex set. Whitespace delimits walks:

```kotlin
val graph = LabeledGraph { "abcde ace" }
```

Vertices can also be linked via the `-` operator. The [graph builder DSL](src/commonMain/kotlin/ai/hypergraph/kaliningraph/graphs/LabeledGraph.kt) provides a small alphabet:

```kotlin
val graph = LabeledGraph { a - b - "c" - d - e; a - c - e }
```

This is equivalent to:

```kotlin
val abcde = LabeledGraph { a - b - c - d - e }
val ace = LabeledGraph { a - "c" - e }
val graph = abcde + ace
```

Equality is supported using the [Weisfeiler-Lehman](http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume12/shervashidze11a/shervashidze11a.pdf#page=6) test:

```kotlin
val x = LabeledGraph { a - b - c - d - e; a - c - e }
val y = LabeledGraph { b - c - d - e - f; b - d - f }
assertEquals(x == y) // true
```

## Visualization

Kaliningraph supports a number of graph visualizations.

### Graphviz

Graph visualization is made possible thanks to [KraphViz](https://github.com/nidi3/graphviz-java#kotlin-dsl).

```kotlin
val de = LabeledGraph { d - e }
val dacbe = LabeledGraph { d - a - c - b - e }
val dce = LabeledGraph { d - c - e }

val abcd = LabeledGraph { a - b - c - d }
val cfde = LabeledGraph { c - "a" - f - d - e }

val dg = LabeledGraph(dacbe, dce, de) + Graph(abcd, cfde)
dg.show()
```

Running the above snippet will cause the following figure to be rendered in the browser:

![](latex/figures/visualization.svg)

### Matrix form

Graph visualization in both DOT and adjacency matrix format is supported.

| DOT Graph | Matrix |
|:---------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------|
| ![image](latex/figures/random_dot_graph.png) | ![image_1](latex/figures/random_matrix.png) |

It is also possible to visualize the state and transition matrices and step through the graph (`./gradlew jsBrowserRun --continuous`).

### Computation graph

Computational notebooks prototyping is also supported.

```
Notebook {
a = b + c
f = b - h
}.show()
```

The above snippet should display something like the following:

![](pdg_demo.svg)

## Translation

Bidirectional translation to various graph formats, including [Graphviz](https://github.com/nidi3/graphviz-java), [JGraphT](https://jgrapht.org/guide/UserOverview), [Tinkerpop](https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/reference/) and [RedisGraph](https://oss.redislabs.com/redisgraph/) is supported:

```kotlin
val g = LabeledGraph { a - b - c - a }
.toJGraphT().toKaliningraph()
.toTinkerpop().toKaliningraph()
.toGraphviz().toKaliningraph()
```

## Code2Vec

Code2Vec generation and visualization is supported. The following demo was generated using message passing on the adjacency matrix, for graphs of varying height. The technique to create the embeddings is described [here](https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~wlh/grl_book/files/GRL_Book-Chapter_5-GNNs.pdf#page=6). We use TSNE to visualize the resulting vectors in 2D, and can clearly distinguish the clusters.

## Automata-based RegEx

A regex to NFA compiler is provided. To run the demo, run `./gradlew RegexDemo`. You should see something like this:
