|
|
## What is it?
|
|
Lightning is a very lightweight wrapper on PyTorch. This means you don't have to learn a new library. To use Lightning, simply refactor your research code into the [LightningModule](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning#how-do-i-do-use-it) format and Lightning will automate the rest. Lightning guarantees tested, correct, modern best practices for the automated parts.
|
|
|
|
## Starting a new project?
|
|
[Use our seed-project aimed at reproducibility!](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning-conference-seed)
|
|
|
|
## Why do I want to use lightning?
|
|
Every research project starts the same, a model, a training loop, validation loop, etc. As your research advances, you're likely to need distributed training, 16-bit precision, checkpointing, gradient accumulation, etc.
|
|
|
|
Lightning sets up all the boilerplate state-of-the-art training for you so you can focus on the research.

## How do I do use it?
|
|
Think about Lightning as refactoring your research code instead of using a new framework. The research code goes into a [LightningModule]((https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/LightningModule/RequiredTrainerInterface/)) which you fit using a Trainer.
|
|
|
|
The LightningModule defines a *system* such as seq-2-seq, GAN, etc... It can ALSO define a simple classifier such as the example below.
|
|
|
|
To use lightning do 2 things:
|
|
1. [Define a LightningModule](https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/LightningModule/RequiredTrainerInterface/)
|
|
|
|
**WARNING:** This syntax is for version 0.5.0+ where abbreviations were removed.
|
|
```python
|
|
import os
|
|
import torch
|
|
from torch.nn import functional as F
|
|
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
|
|
from torchvision.datasets import MNIST
|
|
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
|
|
|
|
import pytorch_lightning as pl
|
|
|
|
class CoolSystem(pl.LightningModule):
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
super(CoolSystem, self).__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_nb):
|
|
# REQUIRED
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
y_hat = self.forward(x)
|
|
loss = F.cross_entropy(y_hat, y)
|
|
tensorboard_logs = {'train_loss': loss}
|
|
return {'loss': loss, 'log': tensorboard_logs}
|
|
|
|
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_nb):
|
|
# OPTIONAL
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
y_hat = self.forward(x)
|
|
return {'val_loss': F.cross_entropy(y_hat, y)}
|
|
|
|
def validation_end(self, outputs):
|
|
# OPTIONAL
|
|
avg_loss = torch.stack([x['val_loss'] for x in outputs]).mean()
|
|
tensorboard_logs = {'val_loss': avg_loss}
|
|
return {'avg_val_loss': avg_loss, 'log': tensorboard_logs}
|
|
|
|
def configure_optimizers(self):
|
|
# REQUIRED
|
|
# can return multiple optimizers and learning_rate schedulers
|
|
# (LBFGS it is automatically supported, no need for closure function)
|
|
return torch.optim.Adam(self.parameters(), lr=0.02)
|
|
|
|
@pl.data_loader
|
|
def train_dataloader(self):
|
|
# REQUIRED
|
|
return DataLoader(MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=transforms.ToTensor()), batch_size=32)
|
|
|
|
@pl.data_loader
|
|
def val_dataloader(self):
|
|
# OPTIONAL
|
|
return DataLoader(MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=transforms.ToTensor()), batch_size=32)
|
|
|
|
@pl.data_loader
|
|
def test_dataloader(self):
|
|
# OPTIONAL
|
|
return DataLoader(MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=transforms.ToTensor()), batch_size=32)
|
|
```
|
|
2. Fit with a [trainer](https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/Trainer/)
|
|
```python
|
|
from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
|
|
|
|
model = CoolSystem()
|
|
|
|
# most basic trainer, uses good defaults
|
|
trainer = Trainer()
|
|
trainer.fit(model)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Trainer sets up a tensorboard logger, early stopping and checkpointing by default (you can modify all of them or
|
|
use something other than tensorboard).
|
|
|
|
Here are more advanced examples
|
|
```python
|
|
# train on cpu using only 10% of the data (for demo purposes)
|
|
trainer = Trainer(max_nb_epochs=1, train_percent_check=0.1)
|
|
|
|
# train on 4 gpus (lightning chooses GPUs for you)
|
|
# trainer = Trainer(max_nb_epochs=1, gpus=4, distributed_backend='ddp')
|
|
|
|
# train on 4 gpus (you choose GPUs)
|
|
# trainer = Trainer(max_nb_epochs=1, gpus=[0, 1, 3, 7], distributed_backend='ddp')
|
|
|
|
# train on 32 gpus across 4 nodes (make sure to submit appropriate SLURM job)
|
|
# trainer = Trainer(max_nb_epochs=1, gpus=8, nb_gpu_nodes=4, distributed_backend='ddp')
|
|
|
|
# train (1 epoch only here for demo)
|
|
trainer.fit(model)
|
|
|
|
# view tensorboard logs
|
|
print('View tensorboard logs by running\ntensorboard --logdir %s' % os.getcwd())
|
|
print('and going to http://localhost:6006 on your browser')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you're all done you can even run the test set separately.
|
|
```python
|
|
trainer.test()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What does lightning control for me?
|
|
|
|
Everything in gray!
|
|
You define the blue parts using the LightningModule interface:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# what to do in the training loop
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_nb):
|
|
|
|
# what to do in the validation loop
|
|
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_nb):
|
|
|
|
# how to aggregate validation_step outputs
|
|
def validation_end(self, outputs):
|
|
|
|
# and your dataloaders
|
|
def train_dataloader():
|
|
def val_dataloader():
|
|
def test_dataloader():
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Could be as complex as seq-2-seq + attention**
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# define what happens for training here
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_nb):
|
|
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_nb):
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
|
|
# or as basic as a CNN classification
|
|
out = self.forward(x)
|
|
loss = my_loss(out, y)
|
|
return {'loss': loss}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**And you also decide how to collate the output of all validation steps**
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def validation_end(self, outputs):
|
|
"""
|
|
Called at the end of validation to aggregate outputs
|
|
:param outputs: list of individual outputs of each validation step
|
|
:return:
|
|
"""
|
|
val_loss_mean = 0
|
|
val_acc_mean = 0
|
|
for output in outputs:
|
|
val_loss_mean += output['val_loss']
|
|
val_acc_mean += output['val_acc']
|
|
|
|
val_loss_mean /= len(outputs)
|
|
val_acc_mean /= len(outputs)
|
|
logs = {'val_loss': val_loss_mean.item(), 'val_acc': val_acc_mean.item()}
|
|
result = {'log': logs}
|
|
return result
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tensorboard
|
|
Lightning is fully integrated with tensorboard, MLFlow and supports any logging module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lightning also adds a text column with all the hyperparameters for this experiment.
|
|
|
|

## FAQ
|
|
**How do I use Lightning for rapid research?**
|
|
[Here's a walk-through](https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/)
|
|
|
|
**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 unecessary 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**
|
|
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/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning.git@master --upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
* using instant zip (last state of the repo without git history)
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/archive/master.zip --upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Any release installation
|
|
|
|
You can also install any past release from this repository:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/archive/0.4.4.zip --upgrade
|
|
```
|
