Updated RandomState (deprecated from numpy) to default_rng (Generator) #3220

SagarDollin · 2021-08-28T21:06:39Z

This is regarding issue #2782
@piskvorky
Here are the benchmarks of before and after updating:

Files updated	test file	Before Update	After Update
Poincare.py	test_poincare.py	Ran 42 tests in 0.418s	Ran 42 tests in 0.417s
test_ldamodel.py, ldamodel.py	test_ldamodel.py	Ran 48 tests in 223.845s	Ran 48 tests in 225.561s

word2vec.py	test_word2vec.py	Ran 79 tests in 58.149s	Ran 79 tests in 57.950s

I don't find a big difference in the time taken to run after the update. However, I feel it is good to be updated along with Numpy.

Why did you create this PR?
To update RandomState occurrences to default_rng as RandomState is deprecated from NumPy.

What functionality did you set out to improve?
I have updated the code such that it now does not need to rely on RandomState, but also the code is backward compatible. If we load a pre-trained older version model in this repo, it will be able to run smoothly as default_rng supports all the methods present in RandomState except for randint for randint we have replaced it with integers, but for backward compatibility, I have done something like this:

if isinstance(random_state , np.random.RandomState)
    random_state.randint(..)
else:
    random_sate.integers(..)

The above makes sure that if random_sate is Generator object, we use integers; otherwise, if it's a RandomState object, we use randint for backward compatibility.

What was the problem + an overview of how you fixed it?
In the issue, it was claimed that RandomState made the code slower, but I do not find much difference(This could be because we are running it on relatively small data). However, it is good practice to use the updated versions and replace the deprecated ones.

Whom does it affect, and how should people use it?
It affects everyone who uses gensim framework, SDE, Researchers, etc.

However I feel it is good to be updated along with numpy.

For some reason the test_word2vec's function test_compute_training_loss() fails when we use default_rng instead of RandomState, therefore reverting the changes only for word2vec

resolved some dependencies on RandomState. randint is a method of RandomState , however not supported in Generator. For Generator we use integers. Also fixed a small error about inferred variable (related to index error)

…ion of random function Since we are using a totally different random Generator which is not RandomState, therefore there will be differences in intilizations of weights or any random initialization, than that of last versions. The hardcoded values in tests will fail therfore. I had to change these hardcoded values to the new resluts we get. Example in test_similarity_mertics , I added a delta of 5.0e-06 to incorporate small changes. Note in test_ensemblelda i had to remove 2 tests as these two test were comparing previously saved model with new model , which will be not same as we are using different Random Generator. I'm not an expert in all the models therefore a review for the changes in test files is required.

Things achieved in this PR:

I have resolved all the dependencies on RandomState.
The code is still backward compatible in the sense, we can load a pre-trained model that relies on RandomState instead of the Generator and still be able to run it.

SagarDollin · 2021-08-31T11:02:40Z

The build-wheels checks are failing,
I think this is because the file build-wheels. A change was made 13 days ago where they added username. The error we are getting is also related to username:

Should we create an issue for this? I observed that in the previous pull requests this issue wasn't seen. In fact, the newer PR seems to be having more checks than previous ones. A similar case can be seen in PR #3222

Sorry for the inconvenience . Pushing after fixing flake8 related styling of code issues

Thanks for investigating! TBH I'm not a fan of all the if-then logic. It will be really hard to maintain.

When does numpy actually drop the deprecated RandomState? We should make a hard cliff and switch over, without the ifs.

piskvorky

The failing tests and newly introduced non-determinism make me worried.

Isn't there a 1-to-1 replacement for RandomState we could use? No change in tests should be necessary.

Hm. That's tricky. Commenting out the test is not a good solution.

If we make such an abrupt compatibility break, we should:

Update the pre-trained reference model.

Have load() replace the affected attributes, transparently. And no need for ifs later.
