RKM class

Restricted Kirchhoff Machine implementation.

RKM(model_name, n_visible, n_hidden, k=1, lr=0.001, max_epochs=200000, energy_type='RKM', optimizer='SGD', regularization=False, l1_factor=0, l2_factor=0.001, g_v=0.5, g_h=0.5, batch_size=1, train_algo='vRDM', centering=False, average_data=None, model_beta=1, mytype=torch.float32, min_W=-10, max_W=10, offset=0.0, sampling='bernoulli', distribution='gaussian', layer_scaled=True) dataclass

Bases: RBM

A class to represent a Restricted Kirchhoff Machine (RKM). It is inherited from the RBM class, so look at the RBM class for info about the attributes and methods. Also, refer to the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.15842 for more details on the RKM.

Parameters:

  • energy_type (str, default: 'RKM' ) –

    The type of energy function to use (default is 'RKM').

  • offset (float, default: 0.0 ) –

    Offset parameter for the energy function (default is 0.0).

  • sampling (str, default: 'bernoulli' ) –

    Sampling method to use (default is 'bernoulli').

  • distribution (str, default: 'gaussian' ) –

    Distribution to use for sampling (default is 'gaussian').

  • layer_scaled (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to scale the layer by the number of units (default is True).

delta_eh(v)

Compute the change in energy for hidden units given visible units.

Parameters:

  • v (Tensor) –

    Visible units.

Returns:

  • Tensor –

    Change in energy for hidden units.
