PyTorch framework for 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 than write another regular train loop.
Break the cycle - use the Catalyst!

Part of PyTorch Ecosystem. Part of Catalyst Ecosystem. Project manifest.


Installation

Common installation:

pip install -U catalyst
Specific versions with additional requirements

pip install catalyst[ml]         # installs DL+ML based catalyst
pip install catalyst[rl]         # installs DL+RL based catalyst
pip install catalyst[cv]         # installs DL+CV based catalyst
pip install catalyst[nlp]        # installs DL+NLP based catalyst
pip install catalyst[ecosystem]  # installs Catalyst.Ecosystem for DL/RL R&D
pip install catalyst[contrib]    # installs DL+contrib based catalyst
pip install catalyst[all]        # installs everything. Very convenient to deploy on a new server

Catalyst is compatible with: Python 3.6+. PyTorch 1.0.0+.

Getting started

import torch
from catalyst.dl import SupervisedRunner

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

# data
loaders = {"train": ..., "valid": ...}

# model, criterion, optimizer
model = Net()
criterion = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())
scheduler = torch.optim.lr_scheduler.ReduceLROnPlateau(optimizer)

# model runner
runner = SupervisedRunner()

# model training
runner.train(
    model=model,
    criterion=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    scheduler=scheduler,
    loaders=loaders,
    logdir=logdir,
    num_epochs=num_epochs,
    verbose=True,
)

For Catalyst.RL introduction, please follow OpenAI Gym example.

Docs and examples

API documentation and an overview of the library can be found here Docs.
In the examples folder of the repository, you can find advanced tutorials and Catalyst best practices.

Infos

To learn more about Catalyst internals and to be aware of the most important features, you can read Catalyst-info – our blog where we regularly write facts about the framework.

We also supervise Awesome Catalyst list – Catalyst-powered projects, tutorials and talks.
Feel free to make a PR with your project to the list. And don't forget to check out current list, there are many interesting projects.

Releases

We deploy a major release once a month with a name like YY.MM.
And micro-releases with framework improvements during a month in the format YY.MM.#.

You can view the changelog on the GitHub Releases page.
Current version: Pipi version

Overview

Catalyst helps you write compact but full-featured DL & RL pipelines in a few lines of code. You get a training loop with metrics, early-stopping, model checkpointing and other features without the boilerplate.

Features

  • Universal train/inference loop.
  • Configuration files for model/data hyperparameters.
  • Reproducibility – all source code and environment variables will be saved.
  • Callbacks – reusable train/inference pipeline parts.
  • Training stages support.
  • Easy customization.
  • PyTorch best practices (SWA, AdamW, Ranger optimizer, OneCycle, FP16 and more).

Structure

  • DL – runner for training and inference, all of the classic ML and CV/NLP metrics and a variety of callbacks for training, validation and inference of neural networks.
  • RL – scalable Reinforcement Learning, all popular model-free algorithms implementations and their improvements with distributed training support.
  • contrib - additional modules contributed by Catalyst users.
  • data - useful tools and scripts for data processing.

Docker Docker Pulls

Catalyst has its own DockerHub page:

  • catalystteam/catalyst:{CATALYST_VERSION} – simple image with Catalyst
  • catalystteam/catalyst:{CATALYST_VERSION}-fp16 – Catalyst with FP16
  • catalystteam/catalyst:{CATALYST_VERSION}-dev – Catalyst for development with all the requirements
  • catalystteam/catalyst:{CATALYST_VERSION}-dev-fp16 – Catalyst for development with FP16

To build a docker from the sources and get more information and examples, please visit docker folder.
