Module Contents#

class lightning_template.models.base.LightningModule(model: torch.nn.Module | None = None, ckpt_path: str | List[str] | None = None, finetune_cfg: str | List[str] | Mapping | None = None, evaluator_cfg: Mapping = None, evaluator_as_submodule: bool = True, loss_weights=None, predict_tasks: List[str] | None = None, predict_path: str = 'prediction', *args, **kwargs)#

Bases: lightning_template.utils.mixin.SplitNameMixin, lightning.pytorch.LightningModule

Base class for all neural network modules.

Your models should also subclass this class.

Modules can also contain other Modules, allowing them to be nested in a tree structure. You can assign the submodules as regular attributes:

import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

class Model(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 20, 5)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(20, 20, 5)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = F.relu(self.conv1(x))
        return F.relu(self.conv2(x))

Submodules assigned in this way will be registered, and will also have their parameters converted when you call to(), etc.

Note

As per the example above, an __init__() call to the parent class must be made before assignment on the child.

Variables:

training (bool) – Boolean represents whether this module is in training or evaluation mode.

Hook to create modules in a strategy and precision aware context.

This is particularly useful for when using sharded strategies (FSDP and DeepSpeed), where we’d like to shard the model instantly to save memory and initialization time. For non-sharded strategies, you can choose to override this hook or to initialize your model under the init_module() context manager.

This hook is called during each of fit/val/test/predict stages in the same process, so ensure that implementation of this hook is idempotent, i.e., after the first time the hook is called, subsequent calls to it should be a no-op.

static recursive_parse_modules(module)#
_build_evaluator(split)#
setup(stage=None)#

Called at the beginning of fit (train + validate), validate, test, or predict. This is a good hook when you need to build models dynamically or adjust something about them. This hook is called on every process when using DDP.

Parameters:

stage – either 'fit', 'validate', 'test', or 'predict'

Example:

class LitModel(...):
    def __init__(self):
        self.l1 = None

    def prepare_data(self):
        download_data()
        tokenize()

        # don't do this
        self.something = else

    def setup(self, stage):
        data = load_data(...)
        self.l1 = nn.Linear(28, data.num_classes)
on_fit_start()#

Called at the very beginning of fit.

If on DDP it is called on every process

optimizer_step(*args, **kwargs) → None#

Override this method to adjust the default way the Trainer calls the optimizer.

By default, Lightning calls step() and zero_grad() as shown in the example. This method (and zero_grad()) won’t be called during the accumulation phase when Trainer(accumulate_grad_batches != 1). Overriding this hook has no benefit with manual optimization.

Parameters:

  • epoch – Current epoch

  • batch_idx – Index of current batch

  • optimizer – A PyTorch optimizer

  • optimizer_closure – The optimizer closure. This closure must be executed as it includes the calls to training_step(), optimizer.zero_grad(), and backward().

Examples:

def optimizer_step(self, epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_closure):
    # Add your custom logic to run directly before `optimizer.step()`

    optimizer.step(closure=optimizer_closure)

    # Add your custom logic to run directly after `optimizer.step()`
static flatten_dict(log_dict, prefix, sep='/')#
forward(batch, *args, **kwargs)#

Same as torch.nn.Module.forward().

Parameters:

  • *args – Whatever you decide to pass into the forward method.

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments are also possible.

Returns:

Your model’s output

_loss_step(*args, output, **kwargs)#
loss_step(*args, use_loss_weight=True, **kwargs)#
update_evaluator(evaluator, *args, metrics, **kwargs)#
_metric_step(*args, output, **kwargs)#
metric_step(*args, dataloader_idx=None, split, **kwargs)#
_compute_evaluator(evaluator, *args, **kwargs)#
compute_evaluator(evaluator, dataloader_idx=None, *args, **kwargs)#
on_metric_epoch_end(*args, split, **kwargs)#
forward_step(*args, split, **kwargs)#
on_forward_epoch_end(*args, split, **kwargs)#
training_step(batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=None, *args, **kwargs)#

Here you compute and return the training loss and some additional metrics for e.g. the progress bar or logger.

Parameters:

  • batch – The output of your data iterable, normally a DataLoader.

  • batch_idx – The index of this batch.

  • dataloader_idx – The index of the dataloader that produced this batch. (only if multiple dataloaders used)

Returns:

  • Tensor - The loss tensor

  • dict - A dictionary which can include any keys, but must include the key 'loss' in the case of automatic optimization.

  • None - In automatic optimization, this will skip to the next batch (but is not supported for multi-GPU, TPU, or DeepSpeed). For manual optimization, this has no special meaning, as returning the loss is not required.

In this step you’d normally do the forward pass and calculate the loss for a batch. You can also do fancier things like multiple forward passes or something model specific.

Example:

def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    x, y, z = batch
    out = self.encoder(x)
    loss = self.loss(out, x)
    return loss

To use multiple optimizers, you can switch to ‘manual optimization’ and control their stepping:

def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.automatic_optimization = False


# Multiple optimizers (e.g.: GANs)
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    opt1, opt2 = self.optimizers()

    # do training_step with encoder
    ...
    opt1.step()
    # do training_step with decoder
    ...
    opt2.step()

Note

When accumulate_grad_batches > 1, the loss returned here will be automatically normalized by accumulate_grad_batches internally.

on_train_epoch_end(*args, **kwargs)#

Called in the training loop at the very end of the epoch.

To access all batch outputs at the end of the epoch, you can cache step outputs as an attribute of the LightningModule and access them in this hook:

class MyLightningModule(L.LightningModule):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.training_step_outputs = []

    def training_step(self):
        loss = ...
        self.training_step_outputs.append(loss)
        return loss

    def on_train_epoch_end(self):
        # do something with all training_step outputs, for example:
        epoch_mean = torch.stack(self.training_step_outputs).mean()
        self.log("training_epoch_mean", epoch_mean)
        # free up the memory
        self.training_step_outputs.clear()
validation_step(batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=None, *args, **kwargs)#

Operates on a single batch of data from the validation set. In this step you’d might generate examples or calculate anything of interest like accuracy.

Parameters:

  • batch – The output of your data iterable, normally a DataLoader.

  • batch_idx – The index of this batch.

  • dataloader_idx – The index of the dataloader that produced this batch. (only if multiple dataloaders used)

Returns:

  • Tensor - The loss tensor

  • dict - A dictionary. Can include any keys, but must include the key 'loss'.

  • None - Skip to the next batch.

# if you have one val dataloader:
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx): ...


# if you have multiple val dataloaders:
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0): ...

Examples:

# CASE 1: A single validation dataset
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    x, y = batch

    # implement your own
    out = self(x)
    loss = self.loss(out, y)

    # log 6 example images
    # or generated text... or whatever
    sample_imgs = x[:6]
    grid = torchvision.utils.make_grid(sample_imgs)
    self.logger.experiment.add_image('example_images', grid, 0)

    # calculate acc
    labels_hat = torch.argmax(out, dim=1)
    val_acc = torch.sum(y == labels_hat).item() / (len(y) * 1.0)

    # log the outputs!
    self.log_dict({'val_loss': loss, 'val_acc': val_acc})

If you pass in multiple val dataloaders, validation_step() will have an additional argument. We recommend setting the default value of 0 so that you can quickly switch between single and multiple dataloaders.

# CASE 2: multiple validation dataloaders
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
    # dataloader_idx tells you which dataset this is.
    ...

Note

If you don’t need to validate you don’t need to implement this method.

Note

When the validation_step() is called, the model has been put in eval mode and PyTorch gradients have been disabled. At the end of validation, the model goes back to training mode and gradients are enabled.

on_validation_epoch_end(*args, **kwargs)#

Called in the validation loop at the very end of the epoch.

test_step(batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=None, *args, **kwargs)#

Operates on a single batch of data from the test set. In this step you’d normally generate examples or calculate anything of interest such as accuracy.

Parameters:

  • batch – The output of your data iterable, normally a DataLoader.

  • batch_idx – The index of this batch.

  • dataloader_idx – The index of the dataloader that produced this batch. (only if multiple dataloaders used)

Returns:

  • Tensor - The loss tensor

  • dict - A dictionary. Can include any keys, but must include the key 'loss'.

  • None - Skip to the next batch.

# if you have one test dataloader:
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx): ...


# if you have multiple test dataloaders:
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0): ...

Examples:

# CASE 1: A single test dataset
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    x, y = batch

    # implement your own
    out = self(x)
    loss = self.loss(out, y)

    # log 6 example images
    # or generated text... or whatever
    sample_imgs = x[:6]
    grid = torchvision.utils.make_grid(sample_imgs)
    self.logger.experiment.add_image('example_images', grid, 0)

    # calculate acc
    labels_hat = torch.argmax(out, dim=1)
    test_acc = torch.sum(y == labels_hat).item() / (len(y) * 1.0)

    # log the outputs!
    self.log_dict({'test_loss': loss, 'test_acc': test_acc})

If you pass in multiple test dataloaders, test_step() will have an additional argument. We recommend setting the default value of 0 so that you can quickly switch between single and multiple dataloaders.

# CASE 2: multiple test dataloaders
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
    # dataloader_idx tells you which dataset this is.
    ...

Note

If you don’t need to test you don’t need to implement this method.

Note

When the test_step() is called, the model has been put in eval mode and PyTorch gradients have been disabled. At the end of the test epoch, the model goes back to training mode and gradients are enabled.

on_test_epoch_end(*args, **kwargs)#

Called in the test loop at the very end of the epoch.

static rm_and_create(path)#
on_predict_start() → None#

Called at the beginning of predicting.

predict_step(*args, **kwargs)#

Step function called during predict(). By default, it calls forward(). Override to add any processing logic.

The predict_step() is used to scale inference on multi-devices.

To prevent an OOM error, it is possible to use BasePredictionWriter callback to write the predictions to disk or database after each batch or on epoch end.

The BasePredictionWriter should be used while using a spawn based accelerator. This happens for Trainer(strategy="ddp_spawn") or training on 8 TPU cores with Trainer(accelerator="tpu", devices=8) as predictions won’t be returned.

Parameters:

  • batch – The output of your data iterable, normally a DataLoader.

  • batch_idx – The index of this batch.

  • dataloader_idx – The index of the dataloader that produced this batch. (only if multiple dataloaders used)

Returns:

Predicted output (optional).

Example

class MyModel(LightningModule):

    def predict_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
        return self(batch)

dm = ...
model = MyModel()
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=2)
predictions = trainer.predict(model, dm)
on_predict_end() → None#

Called at the end of predicting.
