 ## Docs   
-In progress. Documenting now!  
+**[View the docs here](https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/)**
-
-## 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.   
+Keras and fast.ai are too abstract for researchers. Lightning abstracts the full training loop but gives you control in the critical points.   
 
-Pytorch   
-<-- Lightning   
-Your model.   
 
-**Lightning will do the following for you:**   
+## Why do I want to use lightning?
+Because you don't want to define a training loop, validation loop, gradient clipping, checkpointing, loading, 
+gpu training, etc... every time you start a project. Let lightning handle all of that for you! Just define your 
+data and what happens in the training, testing and validation loop and lightning will do the rest.
 
-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).   
+1. [Define a Trainer](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/examples/new_project_templates/trainer_cpu_template.py).   
-2. [Define a model](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/docs/source/examples/example_model.py).     
+2. [Define a LightningModel](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/examples/new_project_templates/lightning_module_template.py).     
 
-#### Basic trainer example  
+## What does lightning control for me?
-See [this demo](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/docs/source/examples/fully_featured_trainer.py) for a more robust trainer example.   
+Everything!    
+Except for these 6 core functions which you define:    
+
+```{.python}
+# what to do in the training loop
+def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
+
+# what to do in the validation loop
+def validation_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
+
+# how to aggregate validation_step outputs
+def validation_end(self, outputs):
+
+# and your dataloaders
+def tng_dataloader():
+def val_dataloader():
+def test_dataloader():
+```
+
+**Could be as complex as seq-2-seq + attention**    
 
 ```python
-import os
+# define what happens for training here
-import sys
+def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
+    x, y = data_batch
+    
+    # define your own forward and loss calculation
+    hidden_states = self.encoder(x)
+     
+    # even as complex as a seq-2seq + 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} 
+```

+A lightning module is a strict superclass of nn.Module, it provides a standard interface for the trainer to interact with the model.
+
+The easiest thing to do is copy [this template](../../examples/new_project_templates/lightning_module_template.py) and modify accordingly.

+### training_step
+
+``` {.python}
+def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb)
+```
+
+In this step you'd normally do the forward pass and calculate the loss for a batch. You can also do fancier things like multiple forward passes or something specific to your model.
+
+**Params**    
+
+| Param  | description  |
+|---|---|
+|  data_batch | The output of your dataloader. A tensor, tuple or list  |
+|  batch_nb | Integer displaying which batch this is  |
+
+**Return**   
+
+Dictionary or OrderedDict   
+
+| key  | value  | is required |
+|---|---|---|
+|  loss | tensor scalar  | Y |
+|  prog | Dict for progress bar display. Must have only tensors  | N |
+
+
+**Example**
+
+``` {.python}
+def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
+    x, y, z = data_batch
+    
+    # implement your own
+    out = self.forward(x)

+```
+
+In this step you'd normally do the forward pass and calculate the loss for a batch. You can also do fancier things like multiple forward passes or something specific to your model.
+This is most likely the same as your training_step. But unlike training step, the outputs from here will go to validation_end for collation.
+
+**Params**   
+
+| Param  | description  |
+|---|---|
+|  data_batch | The output of your dataloader. A tensor, tuple or list  |

+
+---
+#### Running grid search on a cluster
+To use lightning to run a hyperparameter search (grid-search or random-search) on a cluster do 4 things:   
+
+(1). Define the parameters for the grid search    
+    
+```{.python}
+from test_tube import HyperOptArgumentParser
+
+# subclass of argparse
+parser = HyperOptArgumentParser(strategy='random_search')
+parser.add_argument('--learning_rate', default=0.002, type=float, help='the learning rate')

+
+hparams = parser.parse_args()    
+```    
+    
+     
+(2). Define the cluster options in the [SlurmCluster object](https://williamfalcon.github.io/test-tube/hpc/SlurmCluster/) (over 5 nodes and 8 gpus)    
+
+```{.python}
+from test_tube.hpc import SlurmCluster
+
+# hyperparameters is a test-tube hyper params object
+# see https://williamfalcon.github.io/test-tube/hyperparameter_optimization/HyperOptArgumentParser/
+hyperparams = args.parse()
+
+# init cluster
+cluster = SlurmCluster(
+    hyperparam_optimizer=hyperparams,
+    log_path='/path/to/log/results/to',
+    python_cmd='python3'
+)
+
+# let the cluster know where to email for a change in job status (ie: complete, fail, etc...)
+cluster.notify_job_status(email='some@email.com', on_done=True, on_fail=True)
+
+# set the job options. In this instance, we'll run 20 different models
+# each with its own set of hyperparameters giving each one 1 GPU (ie: taking up 20 GPUs)
+cluster.per_experiment_nb_gpus = 8
+cluster.per_experiment_nb_nodes = 5
+
+# we'll request 10GB of memory per node
+cluster.memory_mb_per_node = 10000
+
+# set a walltime of 10 minues
+cluster.job_time = '10:00'
+```
+
+(3). Give trainer the cluster_manager in your main function:    
+
+```{.python}
+from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
+
+def train_fx(trial_hparams, cluster_manager, _):
+    # hparams has a specific set of hyperparams
+    
+    my_model = MyLightningModel()
+    
+    # give the trainer the cluster object
+    trainer = Trainer(cluster=cluster_manager)
+    trainer.fit(my_model)
+
+```
+
+(4). Start the grid search     
+```{.python}
+# run the models on the cluster
+cluster.optimize_parallel_cluster_gpu(
+    train_fx, 
+    nb_trials=20, 
+    job_name='my_grid_search_exp_name', 
+    job_display_name='my_exp')
+```
+
+That's it! The SlurmCluster object will automatically checkpoint the lightning model and resubmit if it runs into the walltime!
+
+
+---
+#### Walltime auto-resubmit
+Lightning automatically resubmits jobs when they reach the walltime. You get this behavior for free if you give lightning
+a slurm cluster object.
+
+```{.python}
+def my_main_fx(hparams, slurm_manager, _):
+    trainer = Trainer(cluster=slurm_manager)
+``` 
+
+(See the grid search example above for cluster configuration).
+With this feature lightning will:    
+
+1. automatically checkpoint the model
+2. checkpoint the trainer session
+3. resubmit a continuation job.
+4. load the checkpoint and trainer session in the new model

+# Trainer
+[[Github Code](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/pytorch_lightning/models/trainer.py)]
+
+The lightning trainer abstracts best practices for running a training, val, test routine. It calls parts of your model when it wants to hand over full control and otherwise makes training assumptions which are now standard practice in AI research.
+
+This is the basic use of the trainer:
+
+``` {.python}
+from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
+
+model = LightningTemplate()
+
+trainer = Trainer()
+trainer.fit(model)
+```

+### Template model definition
+In 99% of cases you want to just copy [this template](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/examples/new_project_templates/lightning_module_template.py) to start a new lightningModule and change the core of what your model is actually trying to do.
+
+```bash
+# get a copy of the module template
+wget https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/examples/new_project_templates/lightning_module_template.py
+```
+
+---    
+### Trainer Example 
+
+** \_\_main__ function**    
+
+Normally, we want to let the \_\_main__ function start the training.
+Inside the main we parse training arguments with whatever hyperparameters we want. Your LightningModule will have a 
+chance to add hyperparameters.   
+
+```{.python}
+from test_tube import HyperOptArgumentParser
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+
+    # use default args given by lightning
+    root_dir = os.path.split(os.path.dirname(sys.modules['__main__'].__file__))[0]
+    parent_parser = HyperOptArgumentParser(strategy='random_search', add_help=False)
+    add_default_args(parent_parser, root_dir)
+
+    # allow model to overwrite or extend args
+    parser = ExampleModel.add_model_specific_args(parent_parser)
+    hyperparams = parser.parse_args()
+
+    # train model
+    main(hyperparams)
+```
+**Main Function**      
+
+The main function is your entry into the program. This is where you init your model, checkpoint directory, and launch the training.
+The main function should have 3 arguments:   
+- hparams: a configuration of hyperparameters.    
+- slurm_manager: Slurm cluster manager object (can be None)
+- dict: for you to return any values you want (useful in meta-learning, otherwise set to _)    
+
+```{}
+def main(hparams, cluster, results_dict):
+    """
+    Main training routine specific for this project
+    :param hparams:
+    :return:
+    """
+    # init experiment
+    log_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
+    exp = Experiment(
+        name='test_tube_exp',
+        debug=True,
+        save_dir=log_dir,
+        version=0,
+        autosave=False,
+        description='test demo'
+    )
+    
+    # set the hparams for the experiment
+    exp.argparse(hparams)
+    exp.save()
+
+    # build model
+    model = MyLightningModule(hparams)
+
+    # callbacks
+    early_stop = EarlyStopping(
+        monitor=hparams.early_stop_metric,
+        patience=hparams.early_stop_patience,
+        verbose=True,
+        mode=hparams.early_stop_mode
+    )
+
+    model_save_path = '{}/{}/{}'.format(hparams.model_save_path, exp.name, exp.version)
+    checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint(
+        filepath=model_save_path,
+        save_function=None,
+        save_best_only=True,
+        verbose=True,
+        monitor=hparams.model_save_monitor_value,
+        mode=hparams.model_save_monitor_mode
+    )
+
+    # configure trainer
+    trainer = Trainer(
+        experiment=exp,
+        cluster=cluster,
+        checkpoint_callback=checkpoint,
+        early_stop_callback=early_stop,
+    )
+
+    # train model
+    trainer.fit(model)
+```
+
+
+
+
+The __main__ function will start training on your **main** function. If you use the HyperParameterOptimizer
+in hyper parameter optimization mode, this main function will get one set of hyperparameters. If you use it as a simple
+argument parser you get the default arguments in the argument parser.
+
+So, calling main(hyperparams) runs the model with the default argparse arguments.       
+```{.python}
+main(hyperparams)
+```
+
+---
+#### CPU hyperparameter search      
+
+```{.python}
+# run a grid search over 20 hyperparameter combinations.

+    main_local,
+    nb_trials=20,
+    nb_workers=1
+)
+```
+
+---
+#### Hyperparameter search on a single or multiple GPUs       
+```{.python}

+    main_local,
+    nb_trials=20,
+    nb_workers=1,
+    gpus=[0,1,2,3]
+)
+```
+
+---
+#### Hyperparameter search on a SLURM HPC cluster   
+```{.python}    
+def optimize_on_cluster(hyperparams):

+    cluster = SlurmCluster(

+        log_path=hyperparams.tt_save_path,
+        test_tube_exp_name=hyperparams.tt_name
+    )
+
+    # email for cluster coms
+    cluster.notify_job_status(email='add_email_here', on_done=True, on_fail=True)
+
+    # configure cluster
+    cluster.per_experiment_nb_gpus = hyperparams.per_experiment_nb_gpus
+    cluster.job_time = '48:00:00'
+    cluster.gpu_type = '1080ti'
+    cluster.memory_mb_per_node = 48000
+
+    # any modules for code to run in env
+    cluster.add_command('source activate pytorch_lightning')
+
+    # name of exp
+    job_display_name = hyperparams.tt_name.split('_')[0]
+    job_display_name = job_display_name[0:3]
+
+    # run hopt
+    print('submitting jobs...')
+    cluster.optimize_parallel_cluster_gpu(
+        main,
