TorchConfig

TorchConfig is a Python package that simplifies configuring PyTorch.

Suppose that you want to test multiple optimizers to find which optimizer works best with your model. Here is one way you could achieve this:

if CONFIG["optimizer_name"] == "SGD":
    optimizer = optim.SGD(
        net.parameters(),
        lr=CONFIG["optimizer_lr"],
        momentum=CONFIG["optimizer_momentum"],
        dampening=CONFIG["optimizer_dampening"],
        weight_decay=CONFIG["optimizer_weight_decay"],
        nesterov=CONFIG["optimizer_nesterov"],
    )
...
elif CONFIG["optimizer_name"] == "Adam":
    optimizer = optim.Adam(
        net.parameters(),
        lr=CONFIG["optimizer_lr"],
        betas=CONFIG["optimizer_betas"],
        eps=CONFIG["optimizer_eps"],
        weight_decay=CONFIG["optimizer_weight_decay"],
        amsgrad=CONFIG["optimizer_amsgrad"],
    )
}

With TorchConfig, this is just one line!

optimizer = torchconfig.get_optimizer_from_dict(net.parameters(), CONFIG)

Installation

pip install torchconfig

How to Use

You can specify any optimizer or lr_scheduler by specifying its name through a dictionary key-value pair or an argument.

optimizer_config = {"name": "SGD", "lr": 0.1 }
optimizer = torchconfig.get_optimizer_from_args(net.parameters(), name="SGD", lr=0.1)
# or
optimizer = torchconfig.get_optimizer_from_args(net.parameters(), **optimizer_config)
# or
optimizer = torchconfig.get_optimizer_from_dict(net.parameters(), optimizer_config)

lr_scheduler_config = { "name": "CyclicLR", "base_lr": 0.01, "max_lr": 1 }
lr_scheduler = torchconfig.get_lr_scheduler_from_args(optimizer, **CONFIG["lr_scheduler"])
# or
lr_scheduler = torchconfig.get_lr_scheduler_from_args(optimizer, name="CyclicLR", base_lr=0.01, max_lr=1)
# or
lr_scheduler = torchconfig.get_lr_scheduler_from_dict(optimizer, CONFIG["lr_scheduler"])
