Batch linear assignment for PyTorch

Installation | Usage | Citation

Batch computation of the linear assignment problem on GPU.

Install

Build and install via PyPI (source distribution):

pip install torch-linear-assignment

Build and install from Git repository:

pip install .

When building with CUDA, make sure NVCC has the same CUDA version as PyTorch.
You can choose CUDA version by

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-<version>/bin:"$PATH"

If you need custom C++ compiler, use the following command:

CXX=<c++-compiler> CC=<gcc-compiler> pip install .

If you get a torch-not-found error, try the following command:

pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
python -m pip install .

Example

import torch
from torch_linear_assignment import batch_linear_assignment

cost = torch.tensor([
    8, 4, 7,
    5, 2, 3,
    9, 6, 7,
    9, 4, 8
]).reshape(1, 4, 3).cuda()

assignment = batch_linear_assignment(cost)
print(assignment)

The output is:

tensor([[ 0,  2, -1,  1]], device='cuda:0')

To get indices in the SciPy's format:

from torch_linear_assignment import assignment_to_indices

row_ind, col_ind = assignment_to_indices(assignment)
print(row_ind)
print(col_ind)

The output is:

tensor([[0, 1, 3]], device='cuda:0')
tensor([[0, 2, 1]], device='cuda:0')
