Hyperparameters
---------------
Lightning has utilities to interact seamlessly with the command line ArgumentParser
and plays well with the hyperparameter optimization framework of your choice.
LightiningModule hparams
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Normally, we don't hard-code the values to a model. We usually use the command line to
modify the network. The `Trainer` can add all the available options to an ArgumentParser.
.. code-block:: python
from argparse import ArgumentParser
parser = ArgumentParser()
# parametrize the network
parser.add_argument('--layer_1_dim', type=int, default=128)
parser.add_argument('--layer_2_dim', type=int, default=256)
parser.add_argument('--batch_size', type=int, default=64)
args = parser.parse_args()
Now we can parametrize the LightningModule.
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 5,6,7,12,14
class CoolMNIST(pl.LightningModule):
def __init__(self, hparams):
super(CoolMNIST, self).__init__()
self.hparams = hparams
self.layer_1 = torch.nn.Linear(28 * 28, hparams.layer_1_dim)
self.layer_2 = torch.nn.Linear(hparams.layer_1_dim, hparams.layer_2_dim)
self.layer_3 = torch.nn.Linear(hparams.layer_2_dim, 10)
def forward(self, x):
...
def train_dataloader(self):
...
return DataLoader(mnist_train, batch_size=self.hparams.batch_size)
def configure_optimizers(self):
return Adam(self.parameters(), lr=self.hparams.learning_rate)
hparams = parse_args()
model = CoolMNIST(hparams)
.. note:: Bonus! if (hparams) is in your module, Lightning will save it into the checkpoint and restore your
model using those hparams exactly.
Trainer args
^^^^^^^^^^^^
It also gets annoying to map each argument into the Argparser. Luckily we have
a default parser
.. code-block:: python
parser = ArgumentParser()
# add all options available in the trainer such as (max_epochs, etc...)
parser = Trainer.add_argparse_args(parser)
We set up the main training entry point file like this:
.. code-block:: python
def main(args):
model = CoolMNIST(hparams=args)
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=args.max_epochs)
trainer.fit(model)
if __name__ == '__main__':
parser = ArgumentParser()
# adds all the trainer options as default arguments (like max_epochs)
parser = Trainer.add_argparse_args(parser)
# parametrize the network
parser.add_argument('--layer_1_dim', type=int, default=128)
parser.add_argument('--layer_1_dim', type=int, default=256)
parser.add_argument('--batch_size', type=int, default=64)
args = parser.parse_args()
# train
main(args)
And now we can train like this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python main.py --layer_1_dim 128 --layer_2_dim 256 --batch_size 64 --max_epochs 64
But it would also be nice to pass in any arbitrary argument to the trainer.
We can do it by changing how we init the trainer.
.. code-block:: python
def main(args):
model = CoolMNIST(hparams=args)
# makes all trainer options available from the command line
trainer = Trainer.from_argparse_args(args)
and now we can do this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python main.py --gpus 1 --min_epochs 12 --max_epochs 64 --arbitrary_trainer_arg some_value
Multiple Lightning Modules
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We often have multiple Lightning Modules where each one has different arguments. Instead of
polluting the main.py file, the LightningModule lets you define arguments for each one.
.. code-block:: python
class CoolMNIST(pl.LightningModule):
def __init__(self, hparams):
super(CoolMNIST, self).__init__()
self.layer_1 = torch.nn.Linear(28 * 28, hparams.layer_1_dim)
@staticmethod
def add_model_specific_args(parent_parser):
parser = ArgumentParser(parents=[parent_parser])
parser.add_argument('--layer_1_dim', type=int, default=128)
return parser
class GoodGAN(pl.LightningModule):
def __init__(self, hparams):
super(GoodGAN, self).__init__()
self.encoder = Encoder(layers=hparams.encoder_layers)
@staticmethod
def add_model_specific_args(parent_parser):
parser = ArgumentParser(parents=[parent_parser])
parser.add_argument('--encoder_layers', type=int, default=12)
return parser
Now we can allow each model to inject the arguments it needs in the main.py
.. code-block:: python
def main(args):
# pick model
if args.model_name == 'gan':
model = GoodGAN(hparams=args)
elif args.model_name == 'mnist':
model = CoolMNIST(hparams=args)
model = CoolMNIST(hparams=args)
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=args.max_epochs)
trainer.fit(model)
if __name__ == '__main__':
parser = ArgumentParser()
parser = Trainer.add_argparse_args(parser)
# figure out which model to use
parser.add_argument('--model_name', type=str, default='gan', help='gan or mnist')
temp_args = parser.parse_known_args()
# let the model add what it wants
if temp_args.model_name == 'gan':
parser = GoodGAN.add_model_specific_args(parser)
elif temp_args.model_name == 'mnist':
parser = CoolMNIST.add_model_specific_args(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()
# train
main(args)
and now we can train MNIST or the gan using the command line interface!
.. code-block:: bash
$ python main.py --model_name gan --encoder_layers 24
$ python main.py --model_name mnist --layer_1_dim 128
Hyperparameter Optimization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lightning is fully compatible with the hyperparameter optimization libraries!
Here are some useful ones:

- `Optuna <https://github.com/optuna/optuna/blob/master/examples/pytorch_lightning_simple.py>`_
