## Docs
In progress. Documenting now!
## Disclaimer
This is a research tool I built for myself internally while doing my PhD. The API is not 100% production quality, but my hope is that by open-sourcing, we can all get it there (I don't have too much time nowadays to write production-level code).
## What is it?
Keras is too abstract for researchers. Lightning makes it so you only have to define your model but still control all details of training if you need to.
Pytorch
<-- Lightning
Your model.
**Lightning will do the following for you:**
1. Run the training loop.
2. Run the validation loop.
3. Run the testing loop.
4. Early stopping.
5. Learning rate annealing.
6. Can train complex models like GANs or anything with multiple optimizers.
7. Weight checkpointing.
8. Model saving.
9. Model loading.
10. Log training details (through test-tube).
11. Run training on multiple GPUs (through test-tube).
12. Run training on a GPU cluster managed by SLURM (through test-tube).
13. Distribute memory-bound models on multiple GPUs.
14. Give your model hyperparameters parsed from the command line OR a JSON file.
15. Run your model in a dev environment where nothing logs.
## Usage
To use lightning do 2 things:
1. [Define a trainer](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/docs/source/examples/basic_trainer.py) (which will run ALL your models).
2. [Define a model](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/docs/source/examples/example_model.py).
#### Quick demo
Run the following demo to see how it works:
```bash
# install lightning
pip install pytorch-lightning
# clone lightning for the demo
git clone https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning.git
cd pytorch-lightning/docs/source/examples
# run demo (on cpu)
python fully_featured_trainer.py
# run a grid search on two gpus
python fully_featured_trainer.py --gpus "0;1"
# run single model on multiple gpus
python fully_featured_trainer.py --gpus "0;1" --interactive
```
#### Basic trainer example
See [this demo](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/docs/source/examples/fully_featured_trainer.py) for a more robust trainer example.
```python
import os
import sys
from test_tube import HyperOptArgumentParser, Experiment
from pytorch_lightning.models.trainer import Trainer
from pytorch_lightning.utils.arg_parse import add_default_args
from pytorch_lightning.utils.pt_callbacks import EarlyStopping, ModelCheckpoint
from demo.example_model import ExampleModel
def main(hparams):
"""
Main training routine specific for this project
:param hparams:
:return:
"""
# init experiment
exp = Experiment(
name=hparams.tt_name,
debug=hparams.debug,
save_dir=hparams.tt_save_path,
version=hparams.hpc_exp_number,
autosave=False,
description=hparams.tt_description
)
exp.argparse(hparams)
exp.save()
model_save_path = '{}/{}/{}'.format(hparams.model_save_path, exp.name, exp.version)
# build model
model = ExampleModel(hparams)
# callbacks
early_stop = EarlyStopping(monitor='val_acc', patience=3, mode='min', verbose=True)
checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint(filepath=model_save_path, save_function=None, save_best_only=True, verbose=True, monitor='val_acc', mode='min')
# configure trainer
trainer = Trainer(experiment=exp, checkpoint_callback=checkpoint, early_stop_callback=early_stop)
# train model
trainer.fit(model)
if __name__ == '__main__':
# use default args given by lightning

# allow model to overwrite or extend args
parser = ExampleModel.add_model_specific_args(parent_parser)
hyperparams = parser.parse_args()
# train model

```
#### Basic model example
Here we only show the method signatures. It's up to you to define the content.
```python
from torch import nn
class My_Model(RootModule):
def __init__(self):
# define model
self.l1 = nn.Linear(200, 10)
# ---------------
# TRAINING
def training_step(self, data_batch):
x, y = data_batch
y_hat = self.l1(x)
loss = some_loss(y_hat)
return loss_val, {'train_loss': loss}
def validation_step(self, data_batch):
x, y = data_batch
y_hat = self.l1(x)
loss = some_loss(y_hat)
return loss_val, {'val_loss': loss}
def validation_end(self, outputs):
total_accs = []
for output in outputs:
total_accs.append(output['val_acc'].item())
# return a dict
return {'total_acc': np.mean(total_accs)}
# ---------------
# SAVING
def get_save_dict(self):
# lightning saves for you. Here's your chance to say what you want to save
checkpoint = {'state_dict': self.state_dict()}
return checkpoint
def load_model_specific(self, checkpoint):
# lightning loads for you. Here's your chance to say what you want to load
self.load_state_dict(checkpoint['state_dict'])
# ---------------
# TRAINING CONFIG
def configure_optimizers(self):
# give lightning the list of optimizers you want to use.
# lightning will call automatically
optimizer = self.choose_optimizer('adam', self.parameters(), {'lr': self.hparams.learning_rate}, 'optimizer')
return [optimizer]

## Optional model hooks.
Add these to the model whenever you want to configure training behavior.
