From 5dc5a7199c8ffa96fb511a37f888f626ae8829f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: "zhsh@umich.edu" <zhsh@umich.edu>
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:30:28 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add pre-refactor test coverage, benchmarks, and compile
 verification

- Add 15 new tests across math, linalg, tensor_utils, preprocessor, softknn
- Add torch.compile verification tests (test_compile.py) tracking compilability
- Add benchmark script (benchmarks/bench_compile.py) with eager + compile timing
- Add pytest-benchmark to test dependencies
- Replace commented-out softknn tests with proper assertion-based tests

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Optimize math_utils for performance and fix sqrtm numpy
 2.0 crash

- replace_nan_and_inf: use torch.nan_to_num (~3.9x faster)
- angular_diff_batch: use modulo wrapping (~1.4x faster, fixes correctness for large diffs)
- angle_between_stable: use broadcasting instead of .repeat() (~1.15x faster)
- sqrtm: replace removed np.float_ alias with np.float64
- bench_compile: remove lambda wrappers that broke torch.compile tracing

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Modernize APIs, improve numerical stability, bump to
 0.5.0
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- kronecker_product: replace manual implementation with torch.kron
- GELS: replace deprecated torch.cholesky with torch.linalg.cholesky
- Lookahead optimizer: fix deprecated add_(scalar, tensor) signature
- ls_cov: use torch.linalg.lstsq for params, torch.linalg.solve
  instead of explicit .inverse() for better numerical stability
- StandardScaler: precompute reciprocal to multiply instead of divide
- Bump version 0.4.3 → 0.5.0
