Description
Description
As discussed in https://github.com/pymc-devs/pytensor/discussions/637 PyTensor is geared mostly towards computational efficiency, although the same machinery could be easily tuned for symbolic simplification.
We could create a database of rewrites just for that goal
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no implementation files or tests; begin by reading discussion #637 and locating PyTensor's existing rewrite machinery. The issue does not define the database's scope, contents, or validation, so completion would require those decisions before implementation.
