Description of training parameters

Here, we describe the hyperparameters used for setting up training. Please see here for an example training config.

Note: for using defaults, simply leave the field blank or don't include the key. Using null will initialize the value to None e.g

model:

  nhead: 8
  ...

vs.

model:
  d_model: null # sets model.d_model=None

checkpointing

This section enables model checkpointing during training

• monitor: A list of metrics to save best models for. Usually should be "val_{METRIC}" notation. > Note: We initialize a separate ModelCheckpoint for each metric to monitor. > This means that you'll save at least \(|monitor|\) checkpoints at the end of training.

Below we describe the arguments we found useful for checkpointing. For more fine grained control see lightning.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint for available checkpointing params and generally more info on how lightning sets up checkpoints

• dirpath: (str) Directory to save the models. If left empty then we first try to save to ./models/[GROUP]/[NAME] or ./models/[NAME] if logger is wandb otherwise we just save to ./models
• save_last: (bool): When True, saves a last.ckpt copy whenever a checkpoint file gets saved. Can be set to 'link' on a local filesystem to create a symbolic link. This allows accessing the latest checkpoint in a deterministic manner.
• save_top_k: (int): if save_top_k == k, the best k models according to the quantity monitored will be saved. if save_top_k == 0, no models are saved. if save_top_k == -1, all models are saved. (Recommend -1)
• every_n_epochs: (int) Number of epochs between checkpoints. This value must be None or non-negative. To disable saving top-k checkpoints, set every_n_epochs = 0. This argument does not impact the saving of save_last=True checkpoints.

Example:

...
checkpointing:
    monitor: ["val_loss", "val_num_switches"] #saves a model for best validation loss and a model for best validation switch count separately
    dirpath: "./models/example_run"
    save_last: true # will always save the best run
    save_top_k: -1
    every_n_epochs: 10 # saves the every 10th model regardless of if its the best.
    ...

trainer

This section configures the lightning.Trainer object for training.

Below we describe the arguments we found useful for the Trainer. If you're an advanced user, Please see lightning.Trainer(https://lightning.ai/docs/pytorch/stable/common/trainer.html) for more fine grained control and how the trainer works in general

• accelerator: (str) Supports passing different accelerator types (“cpu”, “gpu”, “tpu”, “ipu”, “hpu”, “mps”, “auto”) as well as custom accelerator instances.
• strategy: (str) Supports different training strategies with aliases as well custom strategies
• devices: (list[int] | str| int)`The devices to use. Can be set to:
  • a positive number (int | str)
  • a sequence of device indices (list | str),
  • the value -1 to indicate all available devices should be used
  • "auto" for automatic selection based on the chosen accelerator
• fast_dev_run: (int | bool) Runs n (if set to n (int)) else 1 (if set to True) batch(es) of train, val and test to find any bugs (ie: a sort of unit test).
• check_val_every_n_epoch: (int) Perform a validation loop every after every N training epochs
• enable_checkpointing: (bool) If True, enable checkpointing. It will configure a default ModelCheckpoint callback if there is no user-defined ModelCheckpoint in callbacks.
• gradient_clip_val: (float) The value at which to clip gradients
• limit_train_batches: (int | float) How much of training dataset to check (float = fraction, int = num_batches) (mostly for debugging)
• limit_test_batches: (int | float) How much of test dataset to check (float = fraction, int = num_batches). (mostly for debugging)
• limit_val_batches: (int | float) How much of validation dataset to check (float = fraction, int = num_batches) (mostly for debugging)
• limit_predict_batches: (int | float) How much of prediction dataset to check (float = fraction, int = num_batches)
• log_every_n_steps: (int) How often to log within steps
• max_epochs: (int) Stop training once this number of epochs is reached. To enable infinite training, set max_epochs = -1.
• min_epochs: (int) Force training for at least these many epochs

Examples:

trainer:
  check_val_every_n_epoch: 1
  enable_checkpointing: true
  gradient_clip_val: null
  limit_train_batches: 1.0
  limit_test_batches: 1.0
  limit_val_batches: 1.0
  log_every_n_steps: 1
  max_epochs: 100
  min_epochs: 10

view_batch

This section allows you to visualize the data before training

• enable: (bool) whether or not to view a batch
• num_frames: (int) The number of frames in the batch to visualize
• no_train: (bool) whether or not to train after visualization is complete

Examples:

Off

view_batch:
  enable: False
  num_frames: 0 #this arg can be anything
  no_train: False #This can be false

On, no training:

view_batch:
  enable: False
  num_frames: 32 #this arg can be anything
  no_train: True #training will not occur

On, with training:

view_batch:
  enable: False
  num_frames: 32 #this arg can be anything
  no_train: True #training will not occur
