Clean up repository: remove temp files, organize modules, prepare for PyPI publication
- Removed temporary test files and audit reports - Deleted backup and temp_holding directories - Reorganized module structure (07->09 spatial, 09->07 dataloader) - Added new modules: 11-14 (tokenization, embeddings, attention, transformers) - Updated examples with historical ML milestones - Cleaned up documentation structure

# TinyTorch Module Reorganization Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 **What Changed: Simplified, Better Learning Path**
|
||||
|
||||
The PyTorch expert completed surgical fixes to create a superior pedagogical structure. Students can now **train neural networks after just 7 modules** instead of 11!
|
||||
|
||||
## 📚 **New Module Structure**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Before → After Comparison**
|
||||
|
||||
| OLD Module | OLD Topic | → | NEW Module | NEW Topic | **Key Improvement** |
|
||||
|------------|-----------|---|------------|-----------|-------------------|
|
||||
| 02 | Tensor | → | 02 | Tensor + **Basic Autograd** | **Gradients from the start!** |
|
||||
| 03 | 6 Activations | → | 03 | **ReLU + Softmax ONLY** | **Focus on essentials** |
|
||||
| 04 | Just Layers | → | 04 | Linear + Module + **Flatten** | **Complete building blocks** |
|
||||
| 05 | Networks | → | 05 | **Loss Functions** | **Clear separation: what to optimize** |
|
||||
| 06 | Autograd | → | ~~merged~~ | _(integrated into 02)_ | **No forward dependencies** |
|
||||
| 07 | Spatial | → | 08 | **CNN Ops** | **CNN after fundamentals** |
|
||||
| 08 | Optimizers | → | 06 | **Optimizers** | **Clear separation: how to optimize** |
|
||||
| 09 | DataLoader | → | 09 | DataLoader | _(same position)_ |
|
||||
| 10 | Training | → | 07 | **Training** | **Complete training after Module 7!** |
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 **Import Path Changes**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Critical Updates for Examples and Code**
|
||||
|
||||
#### **OLD Import Paths (BROKEN):**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# These imports will FAIL after reorganization
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.networks import Module # ❌ WRONG - moved to layers
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.spatial import Flatten # ❌ WRONG - moved to layers
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.autograd import backward # ❌ WRONG - moved to tensor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **NEW Import Paths (CORRECT):**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Updated imports that work with reorganized structure
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.layers import Module, Linear, Flatten # ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.losses import MSELoss, CrossEntropyLoss # ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.tensor import Tensor # ✅ Has backward() built-in
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **PyTorch-Style Import Pattern:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Recommended pattern matching PyTorch conventions
|
||||
from tinytorch import nn, optim
|
||||
from tinytorch.core.tensor import Tensor
|
||||
|
||||
class MLP(nn.Module): # Module base from layers
|
||||
def __init__(self):
|
||||
super().__init__()
|
||||
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(784, 128) # Linear from layers
|
||||
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(128, 10) #
|
||||
|
||||
def forward(self, x):
|
||||
x = nn.F.flatten(x, start_dim=1) # Flatten from layers
|
||||
x = nn.F.relu(self.fc1(x)) # ReLU from activations
|
||||
return self.fc2(x)
|
||||
|
||||
# Training setup
|
||||
model = MLP()
|
||||
optimizer = optim.SGD(model.parameters()) # From optimizers (Module 06)
|
||||
loss_fn = nn.CrossEntropyLoss() # From losses (Module 05)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎓 **Example Updates Required**
|
||||
|
||||
### **XOR Example** (`examples/xornet/train_xor.py`)
|
||||
**OLD Dependencies:** Modules 02-10 (8 modules!)
|
||||
**NEW Dependencies:** Modules 02-07 (5 modules!)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Updated module references in comments:
|
||||
# Module 02: Tensor + gradients (was separate autograd)
|
||||
# Module 03: ReLU only (was 6 activations)
|
||||
# Module 04: Linear + Module + Flatten (was separate modules)
|
||||
# Module 05: MSE loss (was in training)
|
||||
# Module 06: SGD optimizer (renumbered from 08)
|
||||
# Module 07: Training loops (renumbered from 10)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **MNIST Example** (`examples/mnist/train_mlp.py`)
|
||||
**OLD Dependencies:** Modules 02-10
|
||||
**NEW Dependencies:** Modules 02-07
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Key changes:
|
||||
# - Flatten operation moved to Module 04
|
||||
# - CrossEntropy loss moved to Module 05
|
||||
# - Adam optimizer renumbered to Module 06
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **CIFAR-10 Example** (`examples/cifar10/train_cnn.py`)
|
||||
**OLD Dependencies:** Modules 02-10
|
||||
**NEW Dependencies:** Modules 02-09
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Key changes:
|
||||
# - Conv2d/MaxPool2d moved to Module 08 (CNN Ops)
|
||||
# - DataLoader remains Module 09
|
||||
# - Training infrastructure available from Module 07
|
||||
```
