Catalyst

Build Status License Pipi version Docs

Catalyst logo

High-level utils for PyTorch DL & RL research. It was developed with a focus on reproducibility, fast experimentation and code/ideas reusing. Being able to research/develop something new, rather then write another regular train loop.

Break the cycle - use the Catalyst!


Catalyst is compatible with: Python 3.6+. PyTorch 0.4.1+.

API documentation and an overview of the library can be found here.

In the examples folder of the repository, you can find advanced tutorials and Catalyst best practices.

Installation

pip install catalyst

Overview

Features

  • Universal train/inference loop;
  • Configuration files for model/data hyperparameters;
  • Reproducibility – even source code will be saved;
  • Training stages support;
  • Callbacks – reusable train/inference pipeline parts.

Structure

  • DL – runner for training and inference, all of the classic machine learning and computer vision metrics and a variety of callbacks for training, validation and inference of neural networks.
  • RL – scalable Reinforcement Learning, actor-critic off-policy continuous actions space algorithms and their improvements with distributed training support.
  • contrib - additional modules contributed by Catalyst users.
  • data - useful tools and scripts for data processing.

Getting started: 30 seconds with Catalyst

import torch
from catalyst.dl.runner import SupervisedModelRunner
from your_experiment import get_loaders, get_model, get_callbacks

# experiment setup
logdir = "./logdir"
n_epochs = 42

# data
loaders = get_loaders()

# model and all training stuff
model = get_model()
criterion = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())
scheduler = torch.optim.lr_scheduler.MultiStepLR(optimizer, milestones=[3, 8])

# callbacks - metrics, loggers, etc
callbacks = get_callbacks()

runner = SupervisedModelRunner(
    model=model, criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer, scheduler=scheduler)
runner.train(
    loaders=loaders, callbacks=callbacks,
    logdir=logdir, epochs=n_epochs, verbose=True)
