simplepytorch 0.5.1

Setup and train deep nets with PyTorch. Opinionated and Simple.

Configure and train deep feedforward PyTorch models with a lot of the details already or partially implemented.

DISCLAIMER: This repo is used for my research. New versions are not necessarily backwards compatible. The API is subject to change at a moment's notice. If you happen to use it in your research or work, make sure in your requirements.txt to pin the version or reference the specific commit you used so you don't suffer unwanted surprises.

Install

pip install --upgrade simplepytorch

Try an example

Download and extract DRIVE dataset to ./data/DRIVE

 $ ls data/DRIVE 
test  test.zip  training  training.zip

Run an experiment, and give it a name.

$ python bin/simple_example.py  test_experiment_1

$ ls results/test_experiment_1
checkpoints  log  perf.csv

Look at learning curves (note: demo only runs for 2 epochs)

simplepytorch_plot test_experiment  -c "dice|loss"

Run demo, with (customizable) guarantees that code completes exactly once and distributes jobs across GPUs. (note: uses Redis database to temporarily monitor current jobs).

./bin/example_experiments.sh

NOTE: The readme below this point is very out-dated. I no longer use the FeedForward class.

Quick Start (old way, out of date)

DISCLAIMER: I don't use this way anymore.

Preliminaries: get a dataset and set up a project.

#
# set up a project
#
# --> create a directory for your project
mkdir -p ./myproject/data
# --> copy the examples directory (from this repo)
cp -rf ./examples ./myproject/
# --> link your pre-trained torch models into ./data if you want.
ln -sr ~/.torch ./myproject/data/torch
# --> now go download the RITE dataset and unzip it into ./myproject/data/RITE
ls ./myproject/data/RITE
# ls output: AV_groundTruth.zip  introduction.txt  read_me.txt  test  training

cd ./myproject
# --> ask Python to register the code in ./examples as a package
export PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH

Train the model from command-line and get results

#
# train the model from command-line
#
simplepytorch ./examples/ -h
simplepytorch ./examples/ LetsTrainSomething -h
simplepytorch ./examples/ LetsTrainSomething --run-id experimentA --epochs 3
# alternative command-line ways to start code
run_id=experimentB epochs=3 simplepytorch ./examples/ LetsTrainSomething
simplepytorch ./examples/my_feedforward_model_config.py LetsTrainSomething

# --> debug your model with IPython
simplepytorch_debug ./examples/ LetsTrainSomething --run-id experimentA --epochs a
# --> now you can type %debug to drop into a PDB debugger.  Move around by typing `up` and `down`

# check the results
ls ./data/results/experimentA
tail -f ./data/results/experimentA/perf.csv 
# --> plot results for all experiments matching a regex
simplepytorch_plot 'experiment.*' --ns

Programmatic access via the simplepytorch API:

import examples
import simplepytorch.api as api

cfg = api.load_model_config(examples.LetsTrainSomething, '--epochs 1')
cfg.train()

Developing your own pytorch code

Check the examples directory for a simple getting started template. You can train a model to perform vessel segmentation on the RITE dataset in about 70 lines of code.

examples/

As a next step, you can copy the examples directory, rename it to whatever your project name is and start from there. You will find, as mentioned in examples/my_feedforward_model_config.py that the api.FeedForward class typically lists everything needed. Assuming you want to use the FeedForward class, just implement or override its methods. If something isn't obvious or clear, create a GitHub issue. I will support you to the extent that I can.

Datasets:

The library provides PyTorch Dataset implementations for datasets without an already existing PyTorch implementation.

To use the pre-defined dataset classes, you must download the data and unzip it yourself. Consult Dataset class docstring for usage details.

import simplepytorch.datasets as D

dset = D.RITE(use_train_set=True)
dset[0]

For example, some downloaded datasets I use have the following structure:

 $ ls data/{arsn_qualdr,eyepacs,messidor,IDRiD_segmentation,RITE}
data/IDRiD_segmentation:
'1. Original Images'  '2. All Segmentation Groundtruths'   CC-BY-4.0.txt   LICENSE.txt

data/RITE:
AV_groundTruth.zip  introduction.txt  read_me.txt  test  training

data/arsn_qualdr:
README.md  annotations  annotations.zip  imgs1  imgs1.zip  imgs2  imgs2.zip
