catalyst 20.9.1

Catalyst. PyTorch framework for DL research and development.

Accelerated deep learning R&D

PyTorch framework for Deep Learning research and development. It focuses on reproducibility, rapid experimentation, and codebase reuse so you can create 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
• Catalyst - accelerated deep learning R&D
• Reaction - convenient deep learning models serving

Catalyst at AI Landscape.

Overview

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

Installation

Common installation:

pip install -U catalyst

Specific versions with additional requirements

pip install catalyst[cv]         # installs CV-based catalyst
pip install catalyst[nlp]        # installs NLP-based catalyst
pip install catalyst[ecosystem]  # installs Catalyst.Ecosystem
# and master version installation
pip install git+https://github.com/catalyst-team/catalyst@master --upgrade

Catalyst is compatible with: Python 3.6+. PyTorch 1.1+.
Tested on Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04, macOS 10.15, Windows 10 and Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Tests

All Catalyst code, features and pipelines are fully tested with our own catalyst-codestyle.

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

As a result, Catalyst provides fully tested and reproducible best practices for your deep learning research.
