Experiment Trackers

GeneralTracker[[accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker]]

accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker[[accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker]]

Source

A base Tracker class to be used for all logging integration implementations.

Each function should take in **kwargs that will automatically be passed in from a base dictionary provided to Accelerator.

Should implement name, requires_logging_directory, and tracker properties such that:

name (str): String representation of the tracker class name, such as "TensorBoard" requires_logging_directory (bool): Whether the logger requires a directory to store their logs. tracker (object): Should return internal tracking mechanism used by a tracker class (such as the run for wandb)

Implementations can also include a main_process_only (bool) attribute to toggle if relevant logging, init, and other functions should occur on the main process or across all processes (by default will use True)

finishaccelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker.finishhttps://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/blob/vr_4021/src/accelerate/tracking.py#L174[]

Should run any finalizing functions within the tracking API. If the API should not have one, just don't overwrite that method.

log[[accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker.log]]

Source

Logs values to the current run. Base log implementations of a tracking API should go in here, along with special behavior for the `step parameter.

Parameters:

values (Dictionary str to str, float, or int) : Values to be logged as key-value pairs. The values need to have type str, float, or int.

step (int, optional) : The run step. If included, the log will be affiliated with this step.

start[[accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker.start]]

Source

Lazy initialization of the tracker inside Accelerator to avoid initializing PartialState before InitProcessGroupKwargs.

store_init_configuration[[accelerate.tracking.GeneralTracker.store_init_configuration]]

Source

Logs values as hyperparameters for the run. Implementations should use the experiment configuration functionality of a tracking API.

Parameters:

values (Dictionary str to bool, str, float or int) : Values to be stored as initial hyperparameters as key-value pairs. The values need to have type bool, str, float, int, or None.
