# DeepOBS - A Deep Learning Optimizer Benchmark Suite


[](https://deepobs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) [](https://travis-ci.com/username/projectname) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

DeepOBS is a benchmarking suite that drastically simplifies, automates and improves the evaluation of deep learning optimizers.

It can evaluate the performance of new optimizers on a variety of real-world test problems and automatically compare them with realistic baselines.

DeepOBS automates several steps when benchmarking deep learning optimizers:

• Downloading and preparing data sets.

• Setting up test problems consisting of contemporary data sets and realistic deep learning architectures.

• Running the optimizers on multiple test problems and logging relevant metrics.

• Reporting and visualization the results of the optimizer benchmark.


The code for the current implementation working with TensorFlow can be found on [Github](https://github.com/fsschneider/DeepOBS).

The full documentation is available on readthedocs: https://deepobs.readthedocs.io/

The paper describing DeepOBS has been accepted for ICLR 2019 and can be found here: https://openreview.net/forum?id=rJg6ssC5Y7

We are actively working on a PyTorch version and will be releasing it in the next months. In the meantime, PyTorch users can still use parts of DeepOBS such as the data preprocessing scripts or the visualization features.

## Installation

pip install deepobs

We tested the package with Python 3.6 and TensorFlow version 1.12. Other versions of Python and TensorFlow (>= 1.4.0) might work, and we plan to expand compatibility in the future.
