torchpack (Deprecated! Please use mmcv instead.)

Torchpack is a set of interfaces to simplify the usage of PyTorch.

Documentation is ongoing.

Installation

• Install with pip.

pip install torchpack

• Install from source.

git clone https://github.com/hellock/torchpack.git
cd torchpack
python setup.py install

Note: If you want to use tensorboard to visualize the training process, you need to install tensorflow(installation guide) and tensorboardX(pip install tensorboardX).

What can torchpack do

Torchpack aims to help users to start training with less code, while stays flexible and configurable. It provides a Runner with lots of Hooks.

Example

######################## file1: config.py #######################
work_dir = './demo'  # dir to save log file and checkpoints
optimizer = dict(
    algorithm='SGD', args=dict(lr=0.001, momentum=0.9, weight_decay=5e-4))
workflow = [('train', 2), ('val', 1)]  # train 2 epochs and then validate 1 epochs, iteratively
max_epoch = 16
lr_policy = dict(policy='step', step=12)  # decrese learning rate by 10 every 12 epochs
checkpoint_cfg = dict(interval=1)  # save checkpoint at every epoch
log_cfg = dict(
    # log at every 50 iterations
    interval=50,
    # two logging hooks, one for printing in terminal and one for tensorboard visualization
    hooks=[
        ('TextLoggerHook', {}),
        ('TensorboardLoggerHook', dict(log_dir=work_dir + '/log'))
    ])

######################### file2: main.py ########################
import torch
from torchpack import Config, Runner
from collections import OrderedDict

# define how to process a batch and return a dict
def batch_processor(model, data, train_mode):
    img, label = data
    label = label.cuda(non_blocking=True)
    pred = model(img)
    loss = F.cross_entropy(pred, label)
    accuracy = get_accuracy(pred, label_var)
    log_vars = OrderedDict()
    log_vars['loss'] = loss.item()
    log_vars['accuracy'] = accuracy.item()
    outputs = dict(loss=loss, log_vars=log_vars, num_samples=img.size(0))
    return outputs

cfg = Config.from_file('config.py')  # or config.yaml/config.json
model = resnet18()
runner = Runner(model, cfg.optimizer, batch_processor, cfg.work_dir)
runner.register_default_hooks(lr_config=cfg.lr_policy,
                              checkpoint_config=cfg.checkpoint_cfg,
                              log_config=cfg.log_cfg)

runner.run([train_loader, val_loader], cfg.workflow, cfg.max_epoch)
