Wavelet Mixing

spectrans.layers.mixing.wavelet

Wavelet-based mixing layers for spectral transformer networks.

Implements neural network layers that perform token mixing operations through discrete wavelet transforms (DWT). The wavelet domain provides decomposition of signals into approximation and detail coefficients at multiple resolution levels, structuring processing of different frequency components.

Wavelet mixing layers apply learnable transformations to wavelet coefficients before reconstruction, providing an alternative to attention mechanisms with different inductive biases. The multi-scale nature of wavelets suits signals with hierarchical structure.

>>> mixer = WaveletMixing(hidden_dim=256, wavelet='db4', levels=3)
>>> x = torch.randn(32, 128, 256)

>>> x = torch.randn(32, 256, 64, 64)
>>> output = mixer_2d(x)

Notes

Mathematical Foundation:

The discrete wavelet transform decomposes a signal \(\mathbf{x}\) into approximation coefficients \(\mathbf{c}_A\) and detail coefficients \(\{\mathbf{c}_{D_j}\}_{j=1}^J\) at \(J\) levels:

\[ \text{DWT}(\mathbf{x}) = \{\mathbf{c}_{A_J}, \{\mathbf{c}_{D_j}\}_{j=1}^J\} \]

The decomposition uses filter banks with low-pass filter \(\mathbf{h}\) and high-pass filter \(\mathbf{g}\):

\[ \mathbf{c}_{A_{j+1}}[k] = \sum_m \mathbf{h}[m-2k] \mathbf{c}_{A_j}[m] \]

\[ \mathbf{c}_{D_{j+1}}[k] = \sum_m \mathbf{g}[m-2k] \mathbf{c}_{A_j}[m] \]

Wavelet mixing applies learnable transformations to these coefficients through pointwise mixing with element-wise scaling, channel mixing with linear transformations across feature dimensions, and level mixing with cross-scale interactions using attention mechanisms.

Time complexity is \(O(nd)\) for \(n\)-length signals with \(d\) channels. Space complexity is \(O(nd)\) for coefficient storage. Decomposition typically uses 1-5 levels depending on signal length.

Daubechies wavelets provide compact support with localization. Symlets are symmetric with reduced phase distortion. Coiflets balance time-frequency resolution. Biorthogonal wavelets enable perfect reconstruction with linear phase.

All wavelet operations maintain gradient flow for end-to-end training. The transforms use PyTorch-native implementations compatible with automatic differentiation, avoiding external library dependencies that could break gradient computation.

WaveletMixing

WaveletMixing(hidden_dim: int, wavelet: WaveletType = 'db4', levels: int = 3, mixing_mode: str = 'pointwise', dropout: float = 0.0)

Bases: Module

Token mixing layer using discrete wavelet transform.

Performs mixing in wavelet domain for multi-resolution processing. Decomposes input using DWT, applies learnable mixing to coefficients, and reconstructs the output with residual connections.

Mathematical Formulation

Given input tensor \(\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times N \times D}\) where \(B\) is batch size, \(N\) is sequence length, and \(D\) is hidden dimension:

Step 1: Channel-wise Decomposition

For each channel \(d \in \{0, 1, \ldots, D-1\}\), extract the channel signal:

\[ \mathbf{x}^{(d)} = \mathbf{X}[:, :, d] \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times N} \]

Apply \(J\)-level DWT decomposition:

\[ \text{DWT}_J(\mathbf{x}^{(d)}) = \{\mathbf{c}_{A_J}^{(d)}, \{\mathbf{c}_{D_j}^{(d)}\}_{j=1}^J\} \]

Where: - \(\mathbf{c}_{A_J}^{(d)} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times L_{A_J}}\) are approximation coefficients at level \(J\) - \(\mathbf{c}_{D_j}^{(d)} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times L_{D_j}}\) are detail coefficients at level \(j\) - \(L_{A_J}\) and \(L_{D_j}\) are coefficient lengths after subsampling

Step 2: Learnable Mixing

Apply mixing transformations based on mode:

Pointwise Mixing (:code:mixing_mode='pointwise'):

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{A_J}^{(d)} = \mathbf{c}_{A_J}^{(d)} \odot \mathbf{W}_{A}[:, :L_{A_J}, d] \]

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{D_j}^{(d)} = \mathbf{c}_{D_j}^{(d)} \odot \mathbf{W}_{D_j}[:, :L_{D_j}, d] \]

Where \(\mathbf{W}_{A}, \mathbf{W}_{D_j} \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times \max(L) \times D}\) are learnable parameters, and \(\odot\) denotes element-wise multiplication with broadcasting.

Channel Mixing (:code:mixing_mode='channel'):

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{A_J}^{(d)} = \mathbf{c}_{A_J}^{(d)} \cdot \mathbf{W}_{A}[0, d, d] \]

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{D_j}^{(d)} = \mathbf{c}_{D_j}^{(d)} \cdot \mathbf{W}_{D_j}[0, d, d] \]

Where \(\mathbf{W}_{A}, \mathbf{W}_{D_j} \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times D \times D}\) are initialized as identity matrices.

Level Mixing (:code:mixing_mode='level'):

Cross-level attention is applied to all coefficients simultaneously:

\[ \{\tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{A_J}^{(d)}, \{\tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{D_j}^{(d)}\}_{j=1}^J\} = \text{MultiHeadAttn}(\text{Concat}(\mathbf{c}_{A_J}^{(d)}, \{\mathbf{c}_{D_j}^{(d)}\})) \]

Step 3: Reconstruction

Reconstruct the signal using inverse DWT:

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)} = \text{IDWT}_J(\{\tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{A_J}^{(d)}, \{\tilde{\mathbf{c}}_{D_j}^{(d)}\}_{j=1}^J\}) \]

Apply length adjustment if necessary:

\[ \hat{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)} = \begin{cases} \tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)}[:, :N] & \text{if } |\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)}| > N \\ \text{Pad}(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)}, N) & \text{if } |\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)}| < N \\ \tilde{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

Step 4: Residual Connection and Dropout

Combine all channels and apply residual connection:

\[ \hat{\mathbf{X}} = \text{Concat}(\{\hat{\mathbf{x}}^{(d)}\}_{d=0}^{D-1}) \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times N \times D} \]

\[ \mathbf{Y} = \mathbf{X} + \text{Dropout}(\hat{\mathbf{X}}) \]

Complexity Analysis

• Time Complexity: \(O(NJ) + O(D \cdot N \log N)\) per forward pass

  • \(O(N)\) for DWT/IDWT per level and channel (linear in signal length)
  • \(O(DJ)\) for mixing operations across all levels and channels
  • Dominated by DWT operations when \(J\) is small

• Space Complexity: \(O(DN + P)\) where \(P\) is parameter count

  • \(O(DN)\) for storing coefficient tensors
  • Parameter count depends on mixing mode:
    • Pointwise: \(P = O(LD)\) where \(L\) is max coefficient length
    • Channel: \(P = O(JD^2)\)
    • Level: \(P = O(D^2)\) for attention parameters

Implementation Notes

• Uses PyTorch-native DWT implementation for gradient compatibility
• Dynamic weight slicing ensures proper alignment with variable-length coefficients
• Perfect reconstruction property maintained through careful length handling
• Each channel processed independently for computational efficiency

>>> x = torch.randn(16, 64, 64)
>>> output = mixer(x)
>>> # Initially behaves like identity due to residual connection

WaveletMixing2D

WaveletMixing2D(channels: int, wavelet: WaveletType = 'db4', levels: int = 2, mixing_mode: str = 'subband')

Bases: Module

2D wavelet mixing layer for image-like data.

Performs mixing in 2D wavelet domain, suitable for vision transformers and other architectures processing 2D spatial data. Processes spatial information through multi-resolution wavelet subbands.

Mathematical Formulation

Given input tensor \(\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times C \times H \times W}\) where \(B\) is batch size, \(C\) is channels, \(H\) is height, and \(W\) is width:

Step 1: Channel-wise 2D Decomposition

For each channel \(c \in \{0, 1, \ldots, C-1\}\), extract spatial data:

\[ \mathbf{X}^{(c)} = \mathbf{X}[:, c, :, :] \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times H \times W} \]

Apply \(J\)-level 2D DWT decomposition:

\[ \text{DWT2D}_J(\mathbf{X}^{(c)}) = \{\mathbf{LL}_J^{(c)}, \{(\mathbf{LH}_j^{(c)}, \mathbf{HL}_j^{(c)}, \mathbf{HH}_j^{(c)})\}_{j=1}^J\} \]

Where: - \(\mathbf{LL}_J^{(c)} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times H_J \times W_J}\) is the approximation subband (low-low) - \(\mathbf{LH}_j^{(c)}, \mathbf{HL}_j^{(c)}, \mathbf{HH}_j^{(c)} \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times H_j \times W_j}\) are detail subbands - \(H_j = \frac{H}{2^j}\), \(W_j = \frac{W}{2^j}\) are spatial dimensions at level \(j\)

Step 2: Subband Mixing

Apply mixing transformations based on mode:

Subband Mixing (:code:mixing_mode='subband'):

Independent processing of each subband using convolutional networks:

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{LL}}_J^{(c)} = f_{LL}(\mathbf{LL}_J^{(c)}) \]

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{LH}}_j^{(c)} = f_{LH}^{(j)}(\mathbf{LH}_j^{(c)}), \quad \tilde{\mathbf{HL}}_j^{(c)} = f_{HL}^{(j)}(\mathbf{HL}_j^{(c)}), \quad \tilde{\mathbf{HH}}_j^{(c)} = f_{HH}^{(j)}(\mathbf{HH}_j^{(c)}) \]

Where \(f_{\cdot}\) are learnable convolutional transformations.

Cross Mixing (:code:mixing_mode='cross'):

Cross-attention across all subbands:

\[ \{\tilde{\mathbf{LL}}_J^{(c)}, \{\tilde{\mathbf{LH}}_j^{(c)}, \tilde{\mathbf{HL}}_j^{(c)}, \tilde{\mathbf{HH}}_j^{(c)}\}\} = \text{CrossAttn}(\text{AllSubbands}^{(c)}) \]

Step 3: 2D Reconstruction

Reconstruct the spatial signal:

\[ \tilde{\mathbf{X}}^{(c)} = \text{IDWT2D}_J(\{\tilde{\mathbf{LL}}_J^{(c)}, \{\tilde{\mathbf{LH}}_j^{(c)}, \tilde{\mathbf{HL}}_j^{(c)}, \tilde{\mathbf{HH}}_j^{(c)}\}\}) \]

Step 4: Channel Concatenation and Residual

\[ \hat{\mathbf{X}} = \text{Stack}(\{\tilde{\mathbf{X}}^{(c)}\}_{c=0}^{C-1}) \in \mathbb{R}^{B \times C \times H \times W} \]

\[ \mathbf{Y} = \mathbf{X} + \hat{\mathbf{X}} \]

Complexity Analysis

• Time Complexity: \(O(CHW \cdot J) + O(\text{mixing operations})\)
• Space Complexity: \(O(CHW + \text{subband storage})\)

Where mixing complexity depends on mode: - Subband: \(O(\text{conv operations per subband})\) - Cross: \(O(\text{attention across subbands})\) - Attention: \(O(\text{transformer encoder})\)

Name	Type	Description	Default
channels	int	Number of input/output channels \(C\).	required
wavelet	str	Wavelet type determining 2D filter bank characteristics.	'db4'
levels	int	Number of decomposition levels \(J\).	2
mixing_mode	str	Subband mixing strategy: 'subband' (independent), 'cross' (attention), 'attention' (transformer).	'subband'

>>> x = torch.randn(32, 256, 64, 64)  # (batch, channels, height, width)
>>> output = mixer(x)
>>> assert output.shape == x.shape

Functions

forward

forward(x: Tensor) -> Tensor

Apply 2D wavelet-based mixing following the mathematical formulation.

Implements complete 2D wavelet mixing: spatial decomposition → subband mixing → reconstruction → residual connection. Each channel is processed independently.

Mathematical Implementation

1. Channel Extraction: \(\mathbf{X}^{(c)} = \mathbf{X}[:, c, :, :]\) for each channel \(c\)
2. 2D Wavelet Decomposition: \(\text{DWT2D}_J(\mathbf{X}^{(c)}) \rightarrow \text{subbands}\)
3. Subband Mixing: Apply mode-specific transformations to wavelet subbands
4. 2D Reconstruction: \(\text{IDWT2D}_J(\text{mixed subbands}) \rightarrow \tilde{\mathbf{X}}^{(c)}\)
5. Channel Stacking: \(\hat{\mathbf{X}} = [\tilde{\mathbf{X}}^{(0)}, \ldots, \tilde{\mathbf{X}}^{(C-1)}]\)
6. Residual Connection: \(\mathbf{Y} = \mathbf{X} + \hat{\mathbf{X}}\)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
x	Tensor	Input tensor of shape \((B, C, H, W)\) where: \(B\) is batch size \(C\) is number of channels \(H\) is height \(W\) is width	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Tensor	Mixed output tensor of identical shape \((B, C, H, W)\) with 2D wavelet-domain mixing applied and residual connection.

Notes

• Spatial dimensions preserved through careful reconstruction handling
• Different mixing strategies provide various inductive biases
• Subband mode: Independent processing emphasizes local features
• Cross mode: Attention enables global subband interactions
• Attention mode: Full transformer encoder for complex dependencies
