GrFN spec interlanguage compatibility #132
Comments
@jpfairbanks : Agree 100%, and this will require extension of the loop plate representation. The base representation will, I believe, remain the same, but the loop index and the condition for loop terminal condition will need to be augmented. Right now there is a loop index variables with a fn that simply update the integer value, and there is a terminating condition variable that generally determines the stopping condition (this is not well-documented or part of a current working use case, but is the current plan. What we need to extend to more general iteration over values is representation of an iterator variable (not just a loop index variable), possibly as a generator fn that computes the next iterator value for the next loop iteration state (or looks up from an existing store). And likewise, the loop terminating condition would possibly be computed based on this state (or some other updates within the loop). BTW, the stopping condition version of looping is also not yet formally specified -- this would be for handling a while loop. But both of these ((1) stopping condition for while loop and (2) generalizing iteration) are on our radar and definitely necessary to extend expressivity. |
I just took about an hour tonight to code up a Julia version of the GrFN spec. It isn't quite done yet. but it lets you read in that JSON. module GrfnMod
mutable struct Grfn{D,T}
name::String
start::String
created::D
functions::T
end
struct Input
name::String
domain::String
end
struct Container{I,V,B}
name::String
type::String
input::I
variables::V
body::B
end
Container(tuple) = Container(tuple...)
mutable struct GrfnBody{S,T,U}
name::S
type::T
reference::U
end
GrfnBody(x::NamedTuple) = GrfnBody(x...)
mutable struct GrfnSource{S}
name::S
end
mutable struct GrfnNode{T,U,V}
name::String
type::T
target::String
sources::V
body::U
end
struct Assignment{T,U}
name::String
typ::String
target::String
sources::T
body::U
end
function Assignment(n,t,r,s)
return Assignment(n,t,r,s,Missing)
end
function Assignment(tuple::NamedTuple)
return Assignment(tuple...)
end
struct LoopPlate{I,T,R,B}
name::String
type::String
input::I
index_variable::T
index_iteration_range::R
body::B
end
LoopPlate(t::NamedTuple) = LoopPlate(t...)
end The place holder variables like see also https://github.com/jpfairbanks/SemanticModels.jl/blob/master/doc/src/notebooks/grfns.ipynb |
I updated the notebook to include a Julia Representation of the GrFN. I think this contains all the information in the JSON. I would still need the function bodies and to do something with the variable indexes in order to actually execute this model representation. It would be nice to have an implementation of the modeling representation in multiple languages since the models themselves will be in multiple languages.

Hi @jpfairbanks! Sorry for the delayed response, I had a mountain of backlogged work accumulated from the two back-to-back DARPA trips. It's great that you were able to dive in and construct the Julia representation! I just wanted to clarify, by the 'function bodies', do you mean the chunks of python code that have been extracted from the Fortran code (i.e. the functions in cell [21] of the demo notebook?) Also, I confess, I'm not totally sure what you mean by your last sentence - the reference scientific models can be in many languages, yes - but the GrFN representation should be fairly language-agnostic (the extracted lambda functions are of course Python expressions, but should in principle be restricted to elementary mathematical operations using infix operators, which should be fairly easy to translate to other languages with C-like DNA). Also, we are looking into streamlining the representation by integrating the lambda functions into the GrFN representation - as a pickle file, the function could just be directly pickled, and I expect that when serializing to JSON, we could just use |
That is what I meant, when I wrote it. But I now think that I need the intermediate representation (IR) that you used to do the Fortran to Python transpiling. Because I need to write an IR -> Julia backend.
The "elementary math operations with infix operators" could be stored in an IR that is then compiled to any programming language ie Python or Julia. It would be better to go Fortran -> IR -> {Python or Julia} than to go Fortran -> IR -> Python -> IR' -> Julia. I'll comment further on #130 about including the IR in the grfn output.
By this I meant that it would be nice to have a GrFN "interpreter" that can integrate well with many languages. The scientists will be native speakers in one language and want to use GrFNs in their language for example stats oriented domains like psychology and sociology are more likely to use R than python and will want an R oriented way to interact with GrFNs. Whereas physicists are more likely to use Python and will want to use a python package like In our future post ASKE world, I imagine scientists writing a script in their native language (R, python, julia, ...). Another scientist who wants to build on their work then runs it through AutoMates or SemanticModels.jl and getting out a common GrFN representation that they can manipulate to do model transformations, and then execute using any runtime. |
@adarshp, I took a look at the spec for GrFN.
https://delphi.readthedocs.io/en/master/grfn_spec.html#top-level-grfn-specification
This is a great representation. Kind of like a higher level IR for translating between languages.
One thing I noticed is this note:
If the GrFN schema is going to work for multiple languages it is going to need to support iterator loops like C++, Python, Julia have.
I guess you could have int-loop and iterator loop or a per language loop construct.
