Multiple components

Thanks to Catalyst “key-value is all you need” approach, it’s very easy to use run experiments in multi-components setup (several model, criterions, optimizers, schedulers).

Suppose you have the following classification pipeline (in pure PyTorch):

import os
from torch import nn, optim
from torch.nn import functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from catalyst import dl, metrics, utils
from catalyst.data import ToTensor
from catalyst.contrib.datasets import MNIST

model = nn.Sequential(nn.Flatten(), nn.Linear(28 * 28, 10))
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
optimizer = optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.02)

loaders = {
    "train": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=ToTensor()), batch_size=32
    ),
    "valid": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=False), batch_size=32
    ),
}

class CustomRunner(dl.Runner):

    def predict_batch(self, batch):
        # model inference step
        return self.model(batch[0].to(self.device))

    def on_loader_start(self, runner):
        super().on_loader_start(runner)
        self.meters = {
            key: metrics.AdditiveMetric(compute_on_call=False)
            for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]
        }

    def handle_batch(self, batch):
        # model train/valid step
        # unpack the batch
        x, y = batch
        # run model forward pass
        logits = self.model(x)
        # compute the loss
        loss = self.criterion(logits, y)
        # compute other metrics of interest
        accuracy01, accuracy03 = metrics.accuracy(logits, y, topk=(1, 3))
        # log metrics
        self.batch_metrics.update(
            {"loss": loss, "accuracy01": accuracy01, "accuracy03": accuracy03}
        )
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.meters[key].update(self.batch_metrics[key].item(), self.batch_size)
        # run model backward pass
        if self.is_train_loader:
            loss.backward()
            self.optimizer.step()
            self.optimizer.zero_grad()

    def on_loader_end(self, runner):
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.loader_metrics[key] = self.meters[key].compute()[0]
        super().on_loader_end(runner)

runner = CustomRunner()
# model training
runner.train(
    model=model,
    criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    loaders=loaders,
    logdir="./logs",
    num_epochs=5,
    verbose=True,
    valid_loader="valid",
    valid_metric="loss",
    minimize_valid_metric=True,
)

Multi-model

Multi-model example:

import os
from torch import nn, optim
from torch.nn import functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from catalyst import dl, metrics, utils
from catalyst.data import ToTensor
from catalyst.contrib.datasets import MNIST

# <--- multi-model setup --->
encoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Flatten(), nn.Linear(28 * 28, 128))
head = nn.Linear(128, 10)
model = {"encoder": encoder, "head": head}
optimizer = optim.Adam([
    {'params': encoder.parameters()},
    {'params': head.parameters()},
], lr=0.02)
# <--- multi-model setup --->
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

loaders = {
    "train": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=ToTensor()), batch_size=32
    ),
    "valid": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=False), batch_size=32
    ),
}

class CustomRunner(dl.Runner):

    def predict_batch(self, batch):
        # model inference step
        return self.model(batch[0].to(self.device))

    def on_loader_start(self, runner):
        super().on_loader_start(runner)
        self.meters = {
            key: metrics.AdditiveMetric(compute_on_call=False)
            for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]
        }

    def handle_batch(self, batch):
        # model train/valid step
        # unpack the batch
        x, y = batch
        # <--- multi-model usage --->
        # run model forward pass
        x_ = self.model["encoder"](x)
        logits = self.model["head"](x_)
        # <--- multi-model usage --->
        # compute the loss
        loss = self.criterion(logits, y)
        # compute other metrics of interest
        accuracy01, accuracy03 = metrics.accuracy(logits, y, topk=(1, 3))
        # log metrics
        self.batch_metrics.update(
            {"loss": loss, "accuracy01": accuracy01, "accuracy03": accuracy03}
        )
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.meters[key].update(self.batch_metrics[key].item(), self.batch_size)
        # run model backward pass
        if self.is_train_loader:
            loss.backward()
            self.optimizer.step()
            self.optimizer.zero_grad()

    def on_loader_end(self, runner):
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.loader_metrics[key] = self.meters[key].compute()[0]
        super().on_loader_end(runner)

runner = CustomRunner()
# model training
runner.train(
    model=model,
    criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    loaders=loaders,
    logdir="./logs",
    num_epochs=5,
    verbose=True,
    valid_loader="valid",
    valid_metric="loss",
    minimize_valid_metric=True,
)

As you can see, the only think you need to do - just wrap the model with key-value. That it, simple enough, no extra abstractions required.

Multi-optimizer

Multi-optimizer example:

import os
from torch import nn, optim
from torch.nn import functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from catalyst import dl, metrics, utils
from catalyst.data import ToTensor
from catalyst.contrib.datasets import MNIST

# <--- multi-model/optimizer setup --->
encoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Flatten(), nn.Linear(28 * 28, 128))
head = nn.Linear(128, 10)
model = {"encoder": encoder, "head": head}
optimizer = {
    "encoder": optim.Adam(encoder.parameters(), lr=0.02),
    "head": optim.Adam(head.parameters(), lr=0.001),
}
# <--- multi-model/optimizer setup --->
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

loaders = {
    "train": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=ToTensor()), batch_size=32
    ),
    "valid": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=False), batch_size=32
    ),
}

class CustomRunner(dl.Runner):

    def predict_batch(self, batch):
        # model inference step
        return self.model(batch[0].to(self.device))

    def on_loader_start(self, runner):
        super().on_loader_start(runner)
        self.meters = {
            key: metrics.AdditiveMetric(compute_on_call=False)
            for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]
        }

    def handle_batch(self, batch):
        # model train/valid step
        # unpack the batch
        x, y = batch
        # <--- multi-model/optimizer usage --->
        # run model forward pass
        x_ = self.model["encoder"](x)
        logits = self.model["head"](x_)
        # <--- multi-model/optimizer usage --->
        # compute the loss
        loss = self.criterion(logits, y)
        # compute other metrics of interest
        accuracy01, accuracy03 = metrics.accuracy(logits, y, topk=(1, 3))
        # log metrics
        self.batch_metrics.update(
            {"loss": loss, "accuracy01": accuracy01, "accuracy03": accuracy03}
        )
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.meters[key].update(self.batch_metrics[key].item(), self.batch_size)
        # run model backward pass
        if self.is_train_loader:
            loss.backward()
            # <--- multi-model/optimizer usage --->
            self.optimizer["encoder"].step()
            self.optimizer["head"].step()
            self.optimizer["encoder"].zero_grad()
            self.optimizer["head"].zero_grad()
            # <--- multi-model/optimizer usage --->

    def on_loader_end(self, runner):
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.loader_metrics[key] = self.meters[key].compute()[0]
        super().on_loader_end(runner)

runner = CustomRunner()
# model training
runner.train(
    model=model,
    criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    loaders=loaders,
    logdir="./logs",
    num_epochs=5,
    verbose=True,
    valid_loader="valid",
    valid_metric="loss",
    minimize_valid_metric=True,
)

The same thing here - we could wrap our optimizers with key-value too and use it in a straightforward way.

Multi-criterion

Multi-criterion example:

import os
import torch
from torch import nn, optim
from torch.nn import functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from catalyst import dl, metrics, utils
from catalyst.data import ToTensor
from catalyst.contrib.datasets import MNIST

model = nn.Sequential(nn.Flatten(), nn.Linear(28 * 28, 10))
optimizer = optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.02)
# <--- multi-criterion setup --->
criterion = {
    "multiclass": nn.CrossEntropyLoss(),
    "multilabel": nn.BCEWithLogitsLoss(),
}
# <--- multi-criterion setup --->

loaders = {
    "train": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=True, download=True, transform=ToTensor()), batch_size=32
    ),
    "valid": DataLoader(
        MNIST(os.getcwd(), train=False), batch_size=32
    ),
}

class CustomRunner(dl.Runner):

    def predict_batch(self, batch):
        # model inference step
        return self.model(batch[0].to(self.device))

    def on_loader_start(self, runner):
        super().on_loader_start(runner)
        self.meters = {
            key: metrics.AdditiveMetric(compute_on_call=False)
            for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]
        }

    def handle_batch(self, batch):
        # model train/valid step
        # unpack the batch
        x, y = batch
        # run model forward pass
        logits = self.model(x)
        # <--- multi-criterion usage --->
        # compute the loss
        loss_multiclass = self.criterion["multiclass"](logits, y)
        loss_multilabel = \
            self.criterion["multilabel"](logits, F.one_hot(y, 10).to(torch.float32))
        loss = loss_multiclass + loss_multilabel
        # <--- multi-criterion usage --->
        # compute other metrics of interest
        accuracy01, accuracy03 = metrics.accuracy(logits, y, topk=(1, 3))
        # log metrics
        self.batch_metrics.update(
            {"loss": loss, "accuracy01": accuracy01, "accuracy03": accuracy03}
        )
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.meters[key].update(self.batch_metrics[key].item(), self.batch_size)
        # run model backward pass
        if self.is_train_loader:
            loss.backward()
            self.optimizer.step()
            self.optimizer.zero_grad()

    def on_loader_end(self, runner):
        for key in ["loss", "accuracy01", "accuracy03"]:
            self.loader_metrics[key] = self.meters[key].compute()[0]
        super().on_loader_end(runner)

runner = CustomRunner()
# model training
runner.train(
    model=model,
    criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    loaders=loaders,
    logdir="./logs",
    num_epochs=5,
    verbose=True,
    valid_loader="valid",
    valid_metric="loss",
    minimize_valid_metric=True,
)

Same approach here - just use key-value storage to pass criterion through the experiment.
