From e135f46eed6896d3e18d02d8396ba2ab2dcb92c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ChrisW09 <50968720+ChrisW09@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 22:04:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf(splines): drop the n_train square projector from tprs transform ``ThinPlateSplineTransformer.transform`` rebuilt the null-space projector ``P = I - Z (Z'Z)^-1 Z'`` in full on every call. ``Z.shape[0]`` is the training-set size, so transforming a handful of rows against a moderate fit allocated an n_train x n_train float64 matrix -- 250 MB and 42 ms to transform ten rows after fitting on 8000 -- and redid the pseudo-inverse each time. The dense projector is never needed: distributing the product gives ``K_new @ P == K_new - (K_new @ Z) (Z'Z)^-1 Z'``. Cache ``(Z'Z)^-1`` at fit time and use that form instead. Numerically identical to the previous formulation (max abs difference 1.4e-14 over a 300-row fit and 37 out-of-range query points). n=2000: 6.3 ms -> 0.41 ms, peak 0.64 MB n=8000: 42.4 ms -> 0.72 ms, peak 2.56 MB (was 256.7 MB at n=4000) This addresses the transform side only. The O(n^2) cdist and O(n^3) eigen- decomposition in ``fit`` are inherent to the exact TPS construction and are left for a separate decision.
