catalyst 20.5

Catalyst. PyTorch framework for DL research and development.

Accelerated DL R&D

PyTorch framework for Deep Learning research and development. 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!

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

• Alchemy - Experiments logging & visualization

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 with easy customization.
• Training stages support.
• Deep Learning best practices - SWA, AdamW, Ranger optimizer, OneCycle, and more.
• Developments best practices - fp16 support, distributed training, slurm.

Structure

• contrib - additional modules contributed by Catalyst users.
• core - framework core with main abstractions - Experiment, Runner, Callback and State.
• data - useful tools and scripts for data processing.
• dl – runner for training and inference, all of the classic ML and CV/NLP/RecSys metrics and a variety of callbacks for training, validation and inference of neural networks.
• utils - typical utils for Deep Learning research.

Tests

All the Catalyst code is tested rigorously with every new PR.

In fact, we train a number of different models for various of tasks - image classification, image segmentation, text classification, GAN training. During the tests, we compare their convergence metrics in order to verify the correctness of the training procedure and its reproducibility.

Overall, Catalyst guarantees fully tested, correct and reproducible best practices for the automated parts.
