DeepExperimentManager 0.1.2

A module for training, testing, and managing experiments in PyTorch.

Deep Experiment Manager

Deep Experiment Manager is a flexible and modular framework for training, testing, and managing deep learning experiments in PyTorch. It provides a clear structure for organizing your models, datasets, transforms, and training pipelines, enabling easy configuration and experimentation with different settings.

Features

• Config-Driven Setup: All parameters (model, dataset, training, testing, loss, preprocessing, visualization, and exporting losses) are configured via a YAML file, making experiments reproducible and easily adjustable.
• Dynamic Loading: Models, datasets, and preprocessing functions are loaded dynamically from user-specified modules, allowing you to integrate your own code without modifying the core framework.
• Task Agnostic: Supports various tasks such as classification, regression, or generation by specifying different models, losses, and transforms.
• Optional Features:
  • Visualization: Plot training and validation loss curves and save them as images.
  • Exporting Results: Save recorded losses, experiment configuration, and test results to yaml files for further analysis.
• Clear and Modular Code Structure: Separation of concerns into modules (manager, trainer, tester, datasets, utils, etc.) for improved maintainability and scalability.

Installation

You can install DeepExperimentManager easily using pip. This package is compatible with Python 3.9 and later.

1. Install via pip To install the latest version of DeepExperimentManager from PyPI, run the following command:

   pip install DeepExperimentManager
   

   This will automatically handle the installation of any required dependencies.

2. Verify Installation After the installation, you can verify that the package is successfully installed by running:

   python -c "import DeepExperimentManager; print('DeepExperimentManager installed successfully!')"
   

   Make sure PyTorch and other dependencies (such as torchvision, yaml, matplotlib) are installed. Adjust the requirements as needed.

3. Using Virtual Environments (Recommended) It is a good practice to install Python packages in a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts with other projects. You can create and activate a virtual environment as follows:

   1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

   2. Activate the virtual environment:
   • On Linux/Mac:

     source venv/bin/activate
     

   • On Windows:

     venv/Scripts/activate
     

   3. install the package:

   pip install DeepExperimentManager
   

4. Upgrading the package To ensure you have the latest version of DeepExperimentManager, you can upgrade it using the following command:

   pip install --upgrade DeepExperimentManager
   

Usage

1. Define Required Object Classes and functions Model modules, dataset classes, and preprocessing functions must be defined first.

• Model You should define your own model to experiment. Following is the simple example of PyTorch Neural Network model.

import torch.nn as nn

class TestModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, output_size):
        super(TestModel, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 10, kernel_size=5)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(10, 20, kernel_size=5)
        self.dropout = nn.Dropout2d()
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(320, 50)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(50, output_size)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = nn.functional.relu(nn.functional.max_pool2d(self.conv1(x), 2))
        x = nn.functional.relu(nn.functional.max_pool2d(self.dropout(self.conv2(x)), 2))
        x = x.view(-1, 320)
        x = nn.functional.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = nn.functional.dropout(x, training=self.training)
        x = self.fc2(x)
        return nn.functional.log_softmax(x, dim=1)

• Dataset You can use your own custom dataset or built-in datasets of PyTorch. Following is a simple example of custom dataset class.

import torch
from torch.utils.data import Dataset

class BasicDataset(Dataset):
    def __init__(self, x_tensor, y_tensor):
        super(BasicDataset, self).__init__()

        self.x = x_tensor
        self.y = y_tensor
        
    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return self.x[index], self.y[index]

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.x)

• Preprocessing or Trasform When you apply Transform object defined in PyTorch, You should define a function that returns defined Transform object:

from torchvision import transforms

def get_transform():
    transform = transforms.Compose([
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))
    ])

    return transform

Or, When you apply your own custom data preprocessing function. just keep the following format:

def processing(data):
    "Preprocessing code for your data"
    return processed data

Also, your custom dataset must have argument for preprocessing function:

import torch
from torch.utils.data import Dataset

class BasicDataset(Dataset):
    def __init__(self, x_tensor, y_tensor, processing=None):
        super(BasicDataset, self).__init__()

        self.x = x_tensor
        self.y = y_tensor
        
        if processing is not None:
          self.x = processing(self.x)

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return self.x[index], self.y[index]

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.x)

2. Edit the config.yaml: Update paths, model modules, dataset classes, preprocessing functions, training parameters, and so forth to match your project. You can also check the example codes in /test directory. Example:

model:
  module: 'test.model'
  class: 'TestModel'
  args: # Input Arguments of your model
    output_size: 10

training:
  epochs: 10
  learning_rate: 0.001
  optimizer:
    type: 'Adam'
    args:
      weight_decay: 0.0001

testing:
  metric: ['accuracy', 'mse'] # "f1", "mae"

loss:
  type: 'CrossEntropyLoss'
  args: {}

dataset:
  module: 'torchvision.datasets' # PyTorch built-in dataset
  class: 'MNIST'
  preprocessing_arg: 'transform'
  args:
    preprocessing:
      module: 'test.preprocessing'
      function: 'get_transform'

    train:
      args: # Input Arguments of your custom dataset
        root: './train/data'
        train: True
        download: True
      loader: # Arguments of DataLoader
        batch_size: 64
        shuffle: True
    #valid:
    #  args: {}
    #  loader: {}
    test:
      args: # Input Arguments of your custom dataset
        root: './test/data'
        train: False
        download: True
      loader: # Arguments of DataLoader
        batch_size: 1000
        shuffle: False

visualization:
  enabled: True
  plot_dir: './plots'

export_results:
  enabled: True
  export_dir: './results'

2. Write the Model Experiment Code: For example, this would be code for main.py

import argparse
from experiment_manager import ExperimentManager

def main():
    """
    Main entry point for running the experiment.

    This script will:
    - Parse command-line arguments.
    - Initialize and run the ExperimentManager with the given config file.
    """
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Run experiment using ExperimentManager.")
    parser.add_argument('--config', type=str, required=True, help='Path to the YAML configuration file.')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # Initialize ExperimentManager with the given config
    manager = ExperimentManager(config_path=args.config)
    # Run the full experiment (training and optional testing)
    manager.run_experiment()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

3. Run the main code:

python main.py --config "path of config.yaml"

in this case, config.yaml must be placed in root directory.

this will:

• Load the specified model, dataset, and transforms.
• Run training for the specified number of epochs.
• Optionally validate after each epoch.
• Save checkpoints, plot loss curves, and export results if enabled.

4. Check Outputs:

• Checkpoints: Stored in ./checkpoints/ by default.
• Loss plots: Stored in the path you write in config if visualization is enabled.
• results files: Stored in the path you write in config if exporting is enabled.
• Logs: Training and validation logs displayed in the terminal.

Here is the example of the results file:

records:
-   model_config:
        module: test.model
        class: TestModel
        args:
