Lightning Module interface
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 the minimal example below and modify accordingly.
Otherwise, to Define a Lightning Module, implement the following methods:
Required:
Optional:
- validation_step
- validation_end
- val_dataloader
- test_dataloader
- on_save_checkpoint
- on_load_checkpoint
- update_tng_log_metrics
- add_model_specific_args
Minimal example
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 CoolModel(pl.LightningModule):
def __init__(self):
super(CoolModel, 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)
return {'loss': F.cross_entropy(y_hat, y)}
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()
return {'avg_val_loss': avg_loss}
def configure_optimizers(self):
# REQUIRED
return [torch.optim.Adam(self.parameters(), lr=0.02)]
@pl.data_loader
def tng_dataloader(self):
return DataLoader(MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=transforms.ToTensor()), batch_size=32)
@pl.data_loader
def val_dataloader(self):
# OPTIONAL
# can also return a list of val dataloaders
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)
How do these methods fit into the broader training?
The LightningModule interface is on the right. Each method corresponds to a part of a research project. Lightning automates everything not in blue.
Required Methods
training_step
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
def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
x, y, z = data_batch
# implement your own
out = self.forward(x)
loss = self.loss(out, x)
output = {
'loss': loss, # required
'prog': {'tng_loss': loss, 'batch_nb': batch_nb} # optional
}
# return a dict
return output
If you define multiple optimizers, this step will also be called with an additional optimizer_idx param.
# Multiple optimizers (ie: GANs)
def training_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb, optimizer_idx):
if optimizer_idx == 0:
# do training_step with encoder
if optimizer_idx == 1:
# do training_step with decoder
tng_dataloader
@pl.data_loader
def tng_dataloader(self)
Called by lightning during training loop. Make sure to use the @pl.data_loader decorator, this ensures not calling this function until the data are needed.
Return
PyTorch DataLoader
Example
@pl.data_loader
def tng_dataloader(self):
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=True, transform=transform, download=True)
loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
dataset=dataset,
batch_size=self.hparams.batch_size,
shuffle=True
)
return loader
configure_optimizers
def configure_optimizers(self)
Set up as many optimizers and (optionally) learning rate schedulers as you need. Normally you'd need one. But in the case of GANs or something more esoteric you might have multiple. Lightning will call .backward() and .step() on each one in every epoch. If you use 16 bit precision it will also handle that.
Note: If you use multiple optimizers, training_step will have an additional optimizer_idx parameter.
Return
Return any of these 3 options:
Single optimizer
List or Tuple - List of optimizers
Two lists - The first list has multiple optimizers, the second a list of learning-rate schedulers
Example
# most cases
def configure_optimizers(self):
opt = Adam(self.parameters(), lr=0.01)
return opt
# multiple optimizer case (eg: GAN)
def configure_optimizers(self):
generator_opt = Adam(self.model_gen.parameters(), lr=0.01)
disriminator_opt = Adam(self.model_disc.parameters(), lr=0.02)
return generator_opt, disriminator_opt
# example with learning_rate schedulers
def configure_optimizers(self):
generator_opt = Adam(self.model_gen.parameters(), lr=0.01)
disriminator_opt = Adam(self.model_disc.parameters(), lr=0.02)
discriminator_sched = CosineAnnealing(discriminator_opt, T_max=10)
return [generator_opt, disriminator_opt], [discriminator_sched]
If you need to control how often those optimizers step or override the default .step() schedule, override the optimizer_step hook.
Optional Methods
validation_step
def validation_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb)
# if have multiple val dataloaders:
def validation_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb, dataloader_idx)
OPTIONAL
If you don't need to validate you don't need to implement this method.
In this step you'd normally generate examples or calculate anything of interest such as accuracy.
The dict you return here will be available in the validation_end method.
Params
| Param | description |
|---|---|
| data_batch | The output of your dataloader. A tensor, tuple or list |
| batch_nb | Integer displaying which batch this is |
| dataloader_i | Integer displaying which dataloader this is (only if multiple val datasets used) |
Return
| Return | description | optional |
|---|---|---|
| dict | Dict or OrderedDict with metrics to display in progress bar. All keys must be tensors. | Y |
Example
# CASE 1: A single validation dataset
def validation_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb):
x, y, z = data_batch
# implement your own
out = self.forward(x)
loss = self.loss(out, x)
# log 6 example images
# or generated text... or whatever
sample_imgs = x[:6]
grid = torchvision.utils.make_grid(sample_imgs)
self.experiment.add_image('example_images', grid, 0)
# calculate acc
labels_hat = torch.argmax(out, dim=1)
val_acc = torch.sum(y == labels_hat).item() / (len(y) * 1.0)
# all optional...
# return whatever you need for the collation function validation_end
output = OrderedDict({
'val_loss': loss_val,
'val_acc': torch.tensor(val_acc), # everything must be a tensor
})
# return an optional dict
return output
If you pass in multiple validation datasets, validation_step will have an additional argument.
# CASE 2: multiple validation datasets
def validation_step(self, data_batch, batch_nb, dataset_idx):
# dataset_idx tells you which dataset this is.
The dataset_idx corresponds to the order of datasets returned in val_dataloader.
validation_end
def validation_end(self, outputs)
If you didn't define a validation_step, this won't be called.
Called at the end of the validation loop with the output of each validation_step. Called once per validation dataset.
The outputs here are strictly for the progress bar. If you don't need to display anything, don't return anything.
Params
| Param | description |
|---|---|
| outputs | List of outputs you defined in validation_step |
Return
| Return | description | optional |
|---|---|---|
| dict | Dict of OrderedDict with metrics to display in progress bar | Y |
Example
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)
tqdm_dic = {'val_loss': val_loss_mean.item(), 'val_acc': val_acc_mean.item()}
return tqdm_dic
on_save_checkpoint
def on_save_checkpoint(self, checkpoint)
Called by lightning to checkpoint your model. Lightning saves the training state (current epoch, global_step, etc) and also saves the model state_dict. If you want to save anything else, use this method to add your own key-value pair.
Return
Nothing
Example
def on_save_checkpoint(self, checkpoint):
# 99% of use cases you don't need to implement this method
checkpoint['something_cool_i_want_to_save'] = my_cool_pickable_object
on_load_checkpoint
def on_load_checkpoint(self, checkpoint)
Called by lightning to restore your model. Lighting auto-restores global step, epoch, etc... It also restores the model state_dict. If you saved something with on_save_checkpoint this is your chance to restore this.
Return
Nothing
Example
def on_load_checkpoint(self, checkpoint):
# 99% of the time you don't need to implement this method
self.something_cool_i_want_to_save = checkpoint['something_cool_i_want_to_save']
val_dataloader
@pl.data_loader
def val_dataloader(self)
OPTIONAL
If you don't need a validation dataset and a validation_step, you don't need to implement this method.
Called by lightning during validation loop. Make sure to use the @pl.data_loader decorator, this ensures not calling this function until the data are needed.
Return
PyTorch DataLoader or list of PyTorch Dataloaders.
Example
@pl.data_loader
def val_dataloader(self):
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=False, transform=transform, download=True)
loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
dataset=dataset,
batch_size=self.hparams.batch_size,
shuffle=True
)
return loader
# can also return multiple dataloaders
@pl.data_loader
def val_dataloader(self):
return [loader_a, loader_b, ..., loader_n]
In the case where you return multiple val_dataloaders, the validation_step will have an arguement dataset_idx
which matches the order here.
test_dataloader
@pl.data_loader
def test_dataloader(self)
OPTIONAL
If you don't need a test dataset and a test_step, you don't need to implement this method.
Called by lightning during test loop. Make sure to use the @pl.data_loader decorator, this ensures not calling this function until the data are needed.
Return
PyTorch DataLoader
Example
@pl.data_loader
def test_dataloader(self):
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=False, transform=transform, download=True)
loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
dataset=dataset,
batch_size=self.hparams.batch_size,
shuffle=True
)
return loader
update_tng_log_metrics
def update_tng_log_metrics(self, logs)
Called by lightning right before it logs metrics for this batch. This is a chance to amend or add to the metrics about to be logged.
Return
Dict
Example
def update_tng_log_metrics(self, logs):
# modify or add to logs
return logs
add_model_specific_args
@staticmethod
def add_model_specific_args(parent_parser, root_dir)
Lightning has a list of default argparse commands. This method is your chance to add or modify commands specific to your model. The hyperparameter argument parser is available anywhere in your model by calling self.hparams.
Return
An argument parser
Example
@staticmethod
def add_model_specific_args(parent_parser, root_dir):
parser = HyperOptArgumentParser(strategy=parent_parser.strategy, parents=[parent_parser])
# param overwrites
# parser.set_defaults(gradient_clip=5.0)
# network params
parser.opt_list('--drop_prob', default=0.2, options=[0.2, 0.5], type=float, tunable=False)
parser.add_argument('--in_features', default=28*28)
parser.add_argument('--out_features', default=10)
parser.add_argument('--hidden_dim', default=50000) # use 500 for CPU, 50000 for GPU to see speed difference
# data
parser.add_argument('--data_root', default=os.path.join(root_dir, 'mnist'), type=str)
# training params (opt)
parser.opt_list('--learning_rate', default=0.001, type=float, options=[0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.005],
tunable=False)
parser.opt_list('--batch_size', default=256, type=int, options=[32, 64, 128, 256], tunable=False)
