Truncated Backpropagation Throught Time#

class ignite.contrib.engines.tbptt.Tbptt_Events(value)[source]#

Aditional tbptt events.

Additional events for truncated backpropagation throught time dedicated trainer.

ignite.contrib.engines.tbptt.create_supervised_tbptt_trainer(model, optimizer, loss_fn, tbtt_step, dim=0, device=None, non_blocking=False, prepare_batch=<function _prepare_batch>)[source]#

Create a trainer for truncated backprop through time supervised models.

Training recurrent model on long sequences is computationally intensive as it requires to process the whole sequence before getting a gradient. However, when the training loss is computed over many outputs (X to many), there is an opportunity to compute a gradient over a subsequence. This is known as truncated backpropagation through time. This supervised trainer apply gradient optimization step every tbtt_step time steps of the sequence, while backpropagating through the same tbtt_step time steps.

Parameters

model (torch.nn.Module) – the model to train.
optimizer (torch.optim.Optimizer) – the optimizer to use.
loss_fn (torch.nn loss function) – the loss function to use.
tbtt_step (int) – the length of time chunks (last one may be smaller).
dim (int) – axis representing the time dimension.
device (str, optional) – device type specification (default: None). Applies to batches.
non_blocking (bool, optional) – if True and this copy is between CPU and GPU, the copy may occur asynchronously with respect to the host. For other cases, this argument has no effect.
prepare_batch (callable, optional) – function that receives batch, device, non_blocking and outputs tuple of tensors (batch_x, batch_y).

Warning

The internal use of device has changed. device will now only be used to move the input data to the correct device. The model should be moved by the user before creating an optimizer.

Returns: a trainer engine with supervised update function.
Return type: Engine

Helper methods to setup trainer/evaluator#

ignite.contrib.engines.common.add_early_stopping_by_val_score(patience, evaluator, trainer, metric_name)[source]#

Method setups early stopping handler based on the score (named by metric_name) provided by evaluator.

Parameters

patience (int) – number of events to wait if no improvement and then stop the training.
evaluator (Engine) – evaluation engine used to provide the score
trainer (Engine) – trainer engine to stop the run if no improvement.
metric_name (str) – metric name to use for score evaluation. This metric should be present in evaluator.state.metrics.

Returns

ignite.contrib.engines.common.gen_save_best_models_by_val_score(save_handler, evaluator, models, metric_name, n_saved=3, trainer=None, tag='val', **kwargs)[source]#

Method adds a handler to evaluator to save n_saved of best models based on the metric (named by metric_name) provided by evaluator (i.e. evaluator.state.metrics[metric_name]). The logic of how to store objects is delegated to save_handler.

Parameters

save_handler (callable or BaseSaveHandler) – Method or callable class to use to save engine and other provided objects. Function receives two objects: checkpoint as a dictionary and filename. If save_handler is callable class, it can inherit of BaseSaveHandler and optionally implement remove method to keep a fixed number of saved checkpoints. In case if user needs to save engine’s checkpoint on a disk, save_handler can be defined with DiskSaver.

models (nn.Module or Mapping) – model or dictionary with the object to save. Objects should have implemented state_dict and load_state_dict methods.
metric_name (str) – metric name to use for score evaluation. This metric should be present in evaluator.state.metrics.
n_saved (int, optional) – number of best models to store
trainer (Engine, optional) – trainer engine to fetch the epoch when saving the best model.
