This library implements the NVSA functionalities of the paper "A Neuro-vector-symbolic Architecture for Solving Raven's Progressive Matrices". A complete example for solving RAVEN can be found [here]

[Paper][Preprint]

Module Installation

This module can be installed using pip, and then simply used by import nvsa.

As a prerequisite you should have already installed torch and numpy.

From GitHub

To install module from GitHub use one of:

# Install using ssh
pip install git+git@github.com/IBM/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures.git
# Install using https
pip install git+https://github.com/IBM/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures.git

If you already have pytorch installed you might want to additionally use --no-dependencies flag:

# Install using ssh, without dependencies
pip install git+git@github.com/IBM/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures.git --no-dependencies
# Install using ssh, without dependencies
pip install git+https://github.com/IBM/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures.git --no-dependencies

From local repository

This version will automatically reflect any code changes that you make.

# Install from editable local version
pip install -e /path/to/local/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures
# Also possible without dependencies
pip install -e /path/to/local/neuro-vector-symbolic-architectures --no-dependencies
