StateParamScheduler#

class ignite.handlers.state_param_scheduler.StateParamScheduler(param_name, save_history=False)[source]#

An abstract class for updating an engine state parameter values during training.

Parameters

param_name (str) – name of parameter to update.
save_history (bool) – whether to log the parameter values to engine.state.param_history, (default=False).

Note

Parameter scheduler works independently of the internal state of the attached engine. More precisely, whatever the state of the engine (newly created or used by another scheduler) the scheduler sets defined absolute values.

New in version 0.4.7.

Methods

`attach`	Attach the handler to the engine.
`simulate_values`	Method to simulate scheduled engine state parameter values during num_events events.

attach(engine, event=Events.ITERATION_COMPLETED)[source]#

Attach the handler to the engine. Once the handler is attached, the Engine.state will have a new attribute with the name param_name. Then the current value of the parameter can be retrieved from Engine.state when the engine is running.

Parameters

engine (Engine) – trainer to which the handler will be attached.
event (Union[str, Events, CallableEventWithFilter, EventsList]) – trigger param_name value update.

Return type

None

classmethod simulate_values(num_events, **scheduler_kwargs)[source]#

Method to simulate scheduled engine state parameter values during num_events events.

Parameters

num_events (int) – number of events during the simulation.
scheduler_kwargs (Any) – parameter scheduler configuration kwargs.

Returns

event_index, value

Return type

List[List[int]]

Examples:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

step_state_param_values = np.array(
    StepStateScheduler.simulate_values(
        num_events=20, param_name="step_scheduled_param", initial_value=10, gamma=0.99, step_size=5
    )
)

plt.plot(step_state_param_values[:, 0], step_state_param_values[:, 1], label="learning rate")
plt.xlabel("events")
plt.ylabel("values")
plt.legend()
