|
|
## What is it?
|
|
Lightning is a way to organize your PyTorch code to decouple the science code from the engineering. It's more of a style-guide than a framework.
|
|
|
|
In Lightning, you organize your code into 3 distinct categories:
|
|
|
|
1. Research code (goes in the LightningModule).
|
|
2. Engineering code (you delete, and is handled by the Trainer).
|
|
3. Non-essential research code (logging, etc... this goes in Callbacks).
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to refactor your research code into a [LightningModule](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lightning-module.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rest of the code is automated by the [Trainer](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/trainer.html)!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Testing Rigour
|
|
All the automated code by the Trainer is [tested rigorously with every new PR](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/tree/master/tests).
|
|
|
|
In fact, we also train a few models using a vanilla PyTorch loop and compare with the same model trained using the Trainer to make sure we achieve the EXACT same results. [Check out the parity tests here](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/tree/master/benchmarks).
|
|
|
|
Overall, Lightning guarantees rigorously tested, correct, modern best practices for the automated parts.
|
|
|
|
## How flexible is it?
|
|
As you see, you're just organizing your PyTorch code - there's no abstraction.
|
|
|
|
And for the stuff that the Trainer abstracts out you can [override any part](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction_guide.html#extensibility) you want to do things like implement your own distributed training, 16-bit precision, or even a custom backwards pass.
|
|
|
|
For example, here you could do your own backward pass
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class LitModel(LightningModule):
|
|
def optimizer_step(self, current_epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_idx,
|
|
second_order_closure=None):
|
|
optimizer.step()
|
|
optimizer.zero_grad()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For anything else you might need, we have an extensive [callback system](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction_guide.html#callbacks) you can use to add arbitrary functionality not implemented by our team in the Trainer.
|
|
|
|
## Who is Lightning for?
|
|
- Professional researchers
|
|
- PhD students
|
|
- Corporate production teams
|
|
|
|
If you're just getting into deep learning, we recommend you learn PyTorch first! Once you've implemented a few models, come back and use all the advanced features of Lightning :)
|
|
|
|
## What does lightning control for me?
|
|
|
|
Everything in Blue!
|
|
This is how lightning separates the science (red) from the engineering (blue).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How much effort is it to convert?
|
|
If your code is not a huge mess you should be able to organize it into a LightningModule in less than 1 hour.
|
|
If your code IS a mess, then you needed to clean up anyhow ;)
|
|
|
|
[Check out this step-by-step guide](https://towardsdatascience.com/from-pytorch-to-pytorch-lightning-a-gentle-introduction-b371b7caaf09).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Starting a new project?
|
|
[Use our seed-project aimed at reproducibility!](https://github.com/PytorchLightning/pytorch-lightning-conference-seed)
|
|
|
|
## Why do I want to use lightning?
|
|
Although your research/production project might start simple, once you add things like GPU AND TPU training, 16-bit precision, etc, you end up spending more time engineering than researching. Lightning automates AND rigorously tests those parts for you.
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
- [8 core contributors](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/governance.html) who are all a mix of professional engineers, Research Scientists, PhD students from top AI labs.
|
|
- 100+ community contributors.
|
|
|
|
Lightning is also part of the [PyTorch ecosystem](https://pytorch.org/ecosystem/) which requires projects to have solid testing, documentation and support.

## Realistic example
|
|
Here's how you would organize a realistic PyTorch project into Lightning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The LightningModule defines a *system* such as seq-2-seq, GAN, etc...
|
|
It can ALSO define a simple classifier.
|
|
|
|
In summary, you:
|
|
|
|
1. Define a [LightningModule](https://pytorch-lightning.rtfd.io/en/latest/lightning-module.html)
|
|
```python
|
|
class LitSystem(pl.LightningModule):
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
super().__init__()
|
|
# not the best model...
|
|
self.l1 = torch.nn.Linear(28 * 28, 10)
|
|
|
|
def forward(self, x):
|
|
return torch.relu(self.l1(x.view(x.size(0), -1)))
|
|
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Fit it with a [Trainer](https://pytorch-lightning.rtfd.io/en/latest/pytorch_lightning.trainer.html)
|
|
```python
|
|
from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
|
|
|
|
model = LitSystem()
|
|
|
|
# most basic trainer, uses good defaults
|
|
trainer = Trainer()
|
|
trainer.fit(model)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[Check out the COLAB demo here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1F_RNcHzTfFuQf-LeKvSlud6x7jXYkG31#scrollTo=HOk9c4_35FKg)
|
|
|
|
## What types of research works?
|
|
Anything! Remember, that this is just organized PyTorch code.
|
|
The Training step defines the core complexity found in the training loop.
|
|
|
|
#### Could be as complex as a seq2seq
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# define what happens for training here
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
|
|
# define your own forward and loss calculation
|
|
hidden_states = self.encoder(x)
|
|
|
|
# even as complex as a seq-2-seq + attn model
|
|
# (this is just a toy, non-working example to illustrate)
|
|
start_token = '<SOS>'
|
|
last_hidden = torch.zeros(...)
|
|
loss = 0
|
|
for step in range(max_seq_len):
|
|
attn_context = self.attention_nn(hidden_states, start_token)
|
|
pred = self.decoder(start_token, attn_context, last_hidden)
|
|
last_hidden = pred
|
|
pred = self.predict_nn(pred)
|
|
loss += self.loss(last_hidden, y[step])
|
|
|
|
#toy example as well
|
|
loss = loss / max_seq_len
|
|
return {'loss': loss}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Or as basic as CNN image classification
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# define what happens for validation here
|
|
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
|
|
# or as basic as a CNN classification
|
|
out = self(x)
|
|
loss = my_loss(out, y)
|
|
return {'loss': loss}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And without changing a single line of code, you could run on CPUs
|
|
```python
|
|
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=1)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or GPUs
|
|
```python
|
|
# 8 GPUs
|
|
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=1, gpus=8)
|
|
|
|
# 256 GPUs
|
|
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=1, gpus=8, num_nodes=32)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or TPUs
|
|
```python
|
|
trainer = Trainer(num_tpu_cores=8)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you're done training, run the test accuracy
|
|
```python
|
|
trainer.test()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## FAQ
|
|
**How do I use Lightning for rapid research?**
|
|
[Here's a walk-through](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction_guide.html)
|
|
|
|
**Why was Lightning created?**
|
|
Lightning has 3 goals in mind:
|
|
|
|
1. Maximal flexibility while abstracting out the common boilerplate across research projects.
|
|
2. Reproducibility. If all projects use the LightningModule template, it will be much much easier to understand what's going on and where to look! It will also mean every implementation follows a standard format.
|
|
3. Democratizing PyTorch power user features. Distributed training? 16-bit? know you need them but don't want to take the time to implement? All good... these come built into Lightning.
|
|
|
|
**How does Lightning compare with Ignite and fast.ai?**
|
|
[Here's a thorough comparison](https://medium.com/@_willfalcon/pytorch-lightning-vs-pytorch-ignite-vs-fast-ai-61dc7480ad8a).
|
|
|
|
**Is this another library I have to learn?**
|
|
Nope! We use pure Pytorch everywhere and don't add unnecessary abstractions!
|
|
|
|
**Are there plans to support Python 2?**
|
|
Nope.
|
|
|
|
**Are there plans to support virtualenv?**
|
|
Nope. Please use anaconda or miniconda.
|
|
|
|
**Which PyTorch versions do you support?**
|
|
- **PyTorch 1.1.0**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# install pytorch 1.1.0 using the official instructions
|
|
|
|
# install test-tube 0.6.7.6 which supports 1.1.0
|
|
pip install test-tube==0.6.7.6
|
|
|
|
# install latest Lightning version without upgrading deps
|
|
pip install -U --no-deps pytorch-lightning
|
|
```
|
|
- **PyTorch 1.2.0, 1.3.0,**
|
|
Install via pip as normal
|
|
|
|
## Custom installation
|
|
|
|
### Bleeding edge
|
|
|
|
If you can't wait for the next release, install the most up to date code with:
|
|
* using GIT (locally clone whole repo with full history)
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install git+https://github.com/PytorchLightning/pytorch-lightning.git@master --upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
* using instant zip (last state of the repo without git history)
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install https://github.com/PytorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/archive/master.zip --upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Any release installation
|
|
|
|
You can also install any past release `0.X.Y` from this repository:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install https://github.com/PytorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/archive/0.X.Y.zip --upgrade
|
|
```
