project-lighter 0.0.3a13

YAML-based automated rapid prototyping framework for deep learning experiments

 

Focus on your deep learning experiments and forget about (re)writing code. lighter is:

1. Task-agnostic

   Whether you’re working on classification, segmentation, or self-supervised learning, lighter provides generalized training logic that you can use out-of-the-box.

2. Configuration-based

   Easily define, track, and reproduce experiments with lighter’s configuration-driven approach, keeping all your hyperparameters organized.

3. Customizable

   Seamlessly integrate your custom models, datasets, or transformations into lighter’s flexible framework.

 

lighter stands on the shoulder of these two giants:

• MONAI Bundle - Configuration system. Similar to Hydra, but with additional features.
• PyTorch Lightning - Our System is based on the PyTorch Lightning LightningModule and implements all the necessary training logic for you. Couple it with the PyTorch Lightning Trainer and you're good to go.

Simply put, lighter = config(trainer + system) 😇
