class catalyst.tools.typing.Optimizer(params, defaults)

Bases: object

Base class for all optimizers.

Warning

Parameters need to be specified as collections that have a deterministic ordering that is consistent between runs. Examples of objects that don’t satisfy those properties are sets and iterators over values of dictionaries.

Parameters

• params (iterable) – an iterable of torch.Tensor s or dict s. Specifies what Tensors should be optimized.

• defaults – (dict): a dict containing default values of optimization options (used when a parameter group doesn’t specify them).

add_param_group(param_group)

Add a param group to the Optimizer s param_groups.

This can be useful when fine tuning a pre-trained network as frozen layers can be made trainable and added to the Optimizer as training progresses.

Parameters

• param_group (dict) – Specifies what Tensors should be optimized along with group

• optimization options. (specific) –

load_state_dict(state_dict)

Loads the optimizer state.

Parameters

state_dict (dict) – optimizer state. Should be an object returned from a call to state_dict().

state_dict()

Returns the state of the optimizer as a dict.

It contains two entries:

• state - a dict holding current optimization state. Its content

  differs between optimizer classes.

• param_groups - a dict containing all parameter groups

step(closure)

Performs a single optimization step (parameter update).

Parameters

closure (callable) – A closure that reevaluates the model and returns the loss. Optional for most optimizers.

Note

Unless otherwise specified, this function should not modify the .grad field of the parameters.

Clears the gradients of all optimized torch.Tensor s.

catalyst.tools.typing.Scheduler

alias of torch.optim.lr_scheduler._LRScheduler

class catalyst.tools.typing.Dataset

All datasets that represent a map from keys to data samples should subclass it. All subclasses should overwrite __getitem__(), supporting fetching a data sample for a given key. Subclasses could also optionally overwrite __len__(), which is expected to return the size of the dataset by many Sampler implementations and the default options of DataLoader.

Note

DataLoader by default constructs a index sampler that yields integral indices. To make it work with a map-style dataset with non-integral indices/keys, a custom sampler must be provided.

Metrics

• mean_average_accuracy()

catalyst.utils.metrics.accuracy.accuracy(outputs: torch.Tensor, targets: torch.Tensor, topk: Tuple = (1, ), threshold: float = None, activation: str = None)

Computes the accuracy.

It can be used either for:

1. Multi-class task, in this case:

• you can use topk.

• threshold and activation are not required.

• targets is a tensor: batch_size

• outputs is a tensor: batch_size x num_classes

• computes the accuracy@k for the specified values of k.

2. Multi-label task, in this case:

• you must specify threshold and activation

• topk will not be used (because of there is no method to apply top-k in multi-label classification).

• outputs, targets are tensors with shape: batch_size x num_classes

• targets is a tensor with binary vectors

Parameters

• outputs (torch.Tensor) – model outputs, logits

• targets (torch.Tensor) – ground truth, labels

• topk (tuple) – tuple with specified N for top`N` accuracy computing

• threshold (float) – threshold for outputs
