# Examples
Our most robust examples showing all sorts of implementations
can be found in our sister library [Lightning Bolts](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ecosystem/bolts.html).
______________________________________________________________________
*Note that some examples may rely on new features that are only available in the development branch and may be incompatible with any releases.*
*If you see any errors, you might want to consider switching to a version tag you would like to run examples with.*
*For example, if you're using `pytorch-lightning==1.6.4` in your environment and seeing issues, run examples of the tag [1.6.4](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/tree/1.6.4/pl_examples).*

## MNIST Examples
5 MNIST examples showing how to gradually convert from pure PyTorch to PyTorch Lightning.
The transition through [LightningLite](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/starter/lightning_lite.html) from pure PyTorch is optional, but it might be helpful to learn about it.
- [MNIST with vanilla PyTorch](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_1_pytorch.py)
- [MNIST with LightningLite](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_2_lite.py)
- [MNIST LightningLite to LightningModule](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_3_lite_to_lightning_module.py)
- [MNIST with LightningModule](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_4_lightning_module.py)
- [MNIST with LightningModule + LightningDataModule](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_5_lightning_datamodule.py)
______________________________________________________________________
## Basic Examples
In this folder, we have 2 simple examples:
- [Image Classifier](pl_basics/backbone_image_classifier.py) (trains arbitrary datasets with arbitrary backbones).
- [Image Classifier + DALI](convert_from_pt_to_pl/image_classifier_4_dali.py) (defines the model inside the `LightningModule`).
- [Autoencoder](pl_basics/autoencoder.py)
______________________________________________________________________
## Domain Examples
This folder contains older examples. You should instead use the examples
in [Lightning Bolts](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ecosystem/bolts.html)
for advanced use cases.

## Basic Examples
In this folder, we have 1 simple example:
- [Image Classifier + DALI](pl_integrations/dali_image_classifier.py) (defines the model inside the `LightningModule`).

## Loop examples
Contains implementations leveraging [loop customization](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extensions/loops.html) to enhance the Trainer with new optimization routines.
- [K-fold Cross Validation Loop](pl_loops/kfold.py): Implementation of cross validation in a loop and special datamodule.
- [Yield Loop](pl_loops/yielding_training_step.py): Enables yielding from the training_step like in a Python generator. Useful for automatic optimization with multiple optimizers.
