# We recommend running this tutorial as a notebook, not a script. To download the notebook (.ipynb) file,
# click the link at the top of the page.
#
# PyTorch provides the elegantly designed modules and classes `torch.nn <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html>`_ ,
# `torch.optim <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/optim.html>`_ ,
# `Dataset <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/data.html?highlight=dataset#torch.utils.data.Dataset>`_ ,
# and `DataLoader <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/data.html?highlight=dataloader#torch.utils.data.DataLoader>`_
# to help you create and train neural networks.
# In order to fully utilize their power and customize
# them for your problem, you need to really understand exactly what they're
# doing. To develop this understanding, we will first train basic neural net
# on the MNIST data set without using any features from these models; we will
# initially only use the most basic PyTorch tensor functionality. Then, we will
# incrementally add one feature from ``torch.nn``, ``torch.optim``, ``Dataset``, or
# ``DataLoader`` at a time, showing exactly what each piece does, and how it
# works to make the code either more concise, or more flexible.
#
# **This tutorial assumes you already have PyTorch installed, and are familiar
# with the basics of tensor operations.** (If you're familiar with Numpy array
# operations, you'll find the PyTorch tensor operations used here nearly identical).
#
# MNIST data setup
# ----------------
#
# We will use the classic `MNIST <http://deeplearning.net/data/mnist/>`_ dataset,
# which consists of black-and-white images of hand-drawn digits (between 0 and 9).
#
# We will use `pathlib <https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html>`_
# for dealing with paths (part of the Python 3 standard library), and will
# download the dataset using
# `requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/>`_. We will only
# import modules when we use them, so you can see exactly what's being
# used at each point.

# Neural net from scratch (no torch.nn)
# ---------------------------------------------
#
# Let's first create a model using nothing but PyTorch tensor operations. We're assuming
# you're already familiar with the basics of neural networks. (If you're not, you can
# learn them at `course.fast.ai <https://course.fast.ai>`_).
#
# PyTorch provides methods to create random or zero-filled tensors, which we will
# use to create our weights and bias for a simple linear model. These are just regular
# tensors, with one very special addition: we tell PyTorch that they require a
# gradient. This causes PyTorch to record all of the operations done on the tensor,
# so that it can calculate the gradient during back-propagation *automatically*!
#
# For the weights, we set ``requires_grad`` **after** the initialization, since we
# don't want that step included in the gradient. (Note that a trailling ``_`` in
# PyTorch signifies that the operation is performed in-place.)
#
# .. note:: We are initializing the weights here with
# `Xavier initialisation <http://proceedings.mlr.press/v9/glorot10a/glorot10a.pdf>`_
# (by multiplying with 1/sqrt(n)).
import math
weights = torch.randn(784, 10) / math.sqrt(784)
weights.requires_grad_()
bias = torch.zeros(10, requires_grad=True)
###############################################################################
# Thanks to PyTorch's ability to calculate gradients automatically, we can
# use any standard Python function (or callable object) as a model! So
# let's just write a plain matrix multiplication and broadcasted addition
# to create a simple linear model. We also need an activation function, so
# we'll write `log_softmax` and use it. Remember: although PyTorch
# provides lots of pre-written loss functions, activation functions, and
# so forth, you can easily write your own using plain python. PyTorch will
# even create fast GPU or vectorized CPU code for your function
# automatically.
def log_softmax(x):
return x - x.exp().sum(-1).log().unsqueeze(-1)
def model(xb):
return log_softmax(xb @ weights + bias)
###############################################################################
# In the above, the ``@`` stands for the dot product operation. We will call
# our function on one batch of data (in this case, 64 images). This is
# one *forward pass*. Note that our predictions won't be any better than
# random at this stage, since we start with random weights.
bs = 64 # batch size
xb = x_train[0:bs] # a mini-batch from x
preds = model(xb) # predictions
preds[0], preds.shape
print(preds[0], preds.shape)
###############################################################################
# As you see, the ``preds`` tensor contains not only the tensor values, but also a
# gradient function. We'll use this later to do backprop.
#
# Let's implement negative log-likelihood to use as the loss function
# (again, we can just use standard Python):
def nll(input, target):
return -input[range(target.shape[0]), target].mean()
loss_func = nll
###############################################################################
# Let's check our loss with our random model, so we can see if we improve
# after a backprop pass later.
yb = y_train[0:bs]
print(loss_func(preds, yb))
###############################################################################
# Let's also implement a function to calculate the accuracy of our model.
# For each prediction, if the index with the largest value matches the
# target value, then the prediction was correct.
def accuracy(out, yb):
preds = torch.argmax(out, dim=1)
return (preds == yb).float().mean()
###############################################################################
# Let's check the accuracy of our random model, so we can see if our
# accuracy improves as our loss improves.
print(accuracy(preds, yb))
###############################################################################
# We can now run a training loop. For each iteration, we will:
#
# - select a mini-batch of data (of size ``bs``)
# - use the model to make predictions
# - calculate the loss
# - ``loss.backward()`` updates the gradients of the model, in this case, ``weights``
# and ``bias``.
#
# We now use these gradients to update the weights and bias. We do this
# within the ``torch.no_grad()`` context manager, because we do not want these
# actions to be recorded for our next calculation of the gradient. You can read
# more about how PyTorch's Autograd records operations
# `here <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/autograd.html>`_.
#
# We then set the
# gradients to zero, so that we are ready for the next loop.
# Otherwise, our gradients would record a running tally of all the operations
# that had happened (i.e. ``loss.backward()`` *adds* the gradients to whatever is
# already stored, rather than replacing them).
#
# .. tip:: You can use the standard python debugger to step through PyTorch
# code, allowing you to check the various variable values at each step.
# Uncomment ``set_trace()`` below to try it out.

###############################################################################
# That's it: we've created and trained a minimal neural network (in this case, a
# logistic regression, since we have no hidden layers) entirely from scratch!
#
# Let's check the loss and accuracy and compare those to what we got
# earlier. We expect that the loss will have decreased and accuracy to
# have increased, and they have.
print(loss_func(model(xb), yb), accuracy(model(xb), yb))
###############################################################################
# Using torch.nn.functional
# ------------------------------
#
# We will now refactor our code, so that it does the same thing as before, only
# we'll start taking advantage of PyTorch's ``nn`` classes to make it more concise
# and flexible. At each step from here, we should be making our code one or more
# of: shorter, more understandable, and/or more flexible.
#
# The first and easiest step is to make our code shorter by replacing our
# hand-written activation and loss functions with those from ``torch.nn.functional``
# (which is generally imported into the namespace ``F`` by convention). This module
# contains all the functions in the ``torch.nn`` library (whereas other parts of the
# library contain classes). As well as a wide range of loss and activation
# functions, you'll also find here some convenient functions for creating neural
# nets, such as pooling functions. (There are also functions for doing convolutions,
# linear layers, etc, but as we'll see, these are usually better handled using
# other parts of the library.)
#
# If you're using negative log likelihood loss and log softmax activation,
# then Pytorch provides a single function ``F.cross_entropy`` that combines
# the two. So we can even remove the activation function from our model.
import torch.nn.functional as F
loss_func = F.cross_entropy
def model(xb):
return xb @ weights + bias
###############################################################################
# Note that we no longer call ``log_softmax`` in the ``model`` function. Let's
# confirm that our loss and accuracy are the same as before:
print(loss_func(model(xb), yb), accuracy(model(xb), yb))
###############################################################################
# Refactor using nn.Module
# -----------------------------
# Next up, we'll use ``nn.Module`` and ``nn.Parameter``, for a clearer and more
# concise training loop. We subclass ``nn.Module`` (which itself is a class and
# able to keep track of state). In this case, we want to create a class that
# holds our weights, bias, and method for the forward step. ``nn.Module`` has a
# number of attributes and methods (such as ``.parameters()`` and ``.zero_grad()``)
# which we will be using.
#
# .. note:: ``nn.Module`` (uppercase M) is a PyTorch specific concept, and is a
# class we'll be using a lot. ``nn.Module`` is not to be confused with the Python
# concept of a (lowercase ``m``) `module <https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html>`_,
# which is a file of Python code that can be imported.
from torch import nn
class Mnist_Logistic(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.weights = nn.Parameter(torch.randn(784, 10) / math.sqrt(784))
self.bias = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(10))
def forward(self, xb):
return xb @ self.weights + self.bias
###############################################################################
# Since we're now using an object instead of just using a function, we
# first have to instantiate our model:
model = Mnist_Logistic()
###############################################################################
# Now we can calculate the loss in the same way as before. Note that
# ``nn.Module`` objects are used as if they are functions (i.e they are
# *callable*), but behind the scenes Pytorch will call our ``forward``
# method automatically.
print(loss_func(model(xb), yb))
###############################################################################
# Previously for our training loop we had to update the values for each parameter
# by name, and manually zero out the grads for each parameter separately, like this:
# ::
# with torch.no_grad():
# weights -= weights.grad * lr
# bias -= bias.grad * lr
# weights.grad.zero_()
# bias.grad.zero_()
#
#
# Now we can take advantage of model.parameters() and model.zero_grad() (which
# are both defined by PyTorch for ``nn.Module``) to make those steps more concise
# and less prone to the error of forgetting some of our parameters, particularly
# if we had a more complicated model:
# ::
# with torch.no_grad():
# for p in model.parameters(): p -= p.grad * lr
# model.zero_grad()
#
#
# We'll wrap our little training loop in a ``fit`` function so we can run it
# again later.

# -------------------------
#
# We continue to refactor our code. Instead of manually defining and
# initializing ``self.weights`` and ``self.bias``, and calculating ``xb @
# self.weights + self.bias``, we will instead use the Pytorch class
# `nn.Linear <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#linear-layers>`_ for a
# linear layer, which does all that for us. Pytorch has many types of
# predefined layers that can greatly simplify our code, and often makes it
# faster too.

###############################################################################
# Refactor using optim
# ------------------------------
#
# Pytorch also has a package with various optimization algorithms, ``torch.optim``.
# We can use the ``step`` method from our optimizer to take a forward step, instead
# of manually updating each parameter.
#
# This will let us replace our previous manually coded optimization step:
# ::
# with torch.no_grad():
# for p in model.parameters(): p -= p.grad * lr
# model.zero_grad()
#
# and instead use just:
# ::
# opt.step()
# opt.zero_grad()
#
# (``optim.zero_grad()`` resets the gradient to 0 and we need to call it before
# computing the gradient for the next minibatch.)
from torch import optim
###############################################################################
# We'll define a little function to create our model and optimizer so we
# can reuse it in the future.

###############################################################################
# Refactor using Dataset
# ------------------------------
#
# PyTorch has an abstract Dataset class. A Dataset can be anything that has
# a ``__len__`` function (called by Python's standard ``len`` function) and
# a ``__getitem__`` function as a way of indexing into it.
# `This tutorial <https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/data_loading_tutorial.html>`_
# walks through a nice example of creating a custom ``FacialLandmarkDataset`` class
# as a subclass of ``Dataset``.
#
# PyTorch's `TensorDataset <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/_modules/torch/utils/data/dataset.html#TensorDataset>`_
# is a Dataset wrapping tensors. By defining a length and way of indexing,
# this also gives us a way to iterate, index, and slice along the first
# dimension of a tensor. This will make it easier to access both the
# independent and dependent variables in the same line as we train.
from torch.utils.data import TensorDataset
###############################################################################
# Both ``x_train`` and ``y_train`` can be combined in a single ``TensorDataset``,
# which will be easier to iterate over and slice.
train_ds = TensorDataset(x_train, y_train)
###############################################################################
# Previously, we had to iterate through minibatches of x and y values separately:
# ::
# xb = x_train[start_i:end_i]
# yb = y_train[start_i:end_i]
#
#
# Now, we can do these two steps together:
# ::
# xb,yb = train_ds[i*bs : i*bs+bs]
#

opt.zero_grad()
print(loss_func(model(xb), yb))
###############################################################################
# Refactor using DataLoader
# ------------------------------
#
# Pytorch's ``DataLoader`` is responsible for managing batches. You can
# create a ``DataLoader`` from any ``Dataset``. ``DataLoader`` makes it easier
# to iterate over batches. Rather than having to use ``train_ds[i*bs : i*bs+bs]``,
# the DataLoader gives us each minibatch automatically.
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
train_ds = TensorDataset(x_train, y_train)
train_dl = DataLoader(train_ds, batch_size=bs)
###############################################################################
# Previously, our loop iterated over batches (xb, yb) like this:
# ::
# for i in range((n-1)//bs + 1):
# xb,yb = train_ds[i*bs : i*bs+bs]
# pred = model(xb)
#
# Now, our loop is much cleaner, as (xb, yb) are loaded automatically from the data loader:
# ::
# for xb,yb in train_dl:
# pred = model(xb)
model, opt = get_model()

###############################################################################
# Thanks to Pytorch's ``nn.Module``, ``nn.Parameter``, ``Dataset``, and ``DataLoader``,
# our training loop is now dramatically smaller and easier to understand. Let's
# now try to add the basic features necessary to create effecive models in practice.
#
# Add validation
# -----------------------
#
# In section 1, we were just trying to get a reasonable training loop set up for
# use on our training data. In reality, you **always** should also have
# a `validation set <https://www.fast.ai/2017/11/13/validation-sets/>`_, in order
# to identify if you are overfitting.
#
# Shuffling the training data is
# `important <https://www.quora.com/Does-the-order-of-training-data-matter-when-training-neural-networks>`_
# to prevent correlation between batches and overfitting. On the other hand, the
# validation loss will be identical whether we shuffle the validation set or not.
# Since shuffling takes extra time, it makes no sense to shuffle the validation data.
#
# We'll use a batch size for the validation set that is twice as large as
# that for the training set. This is because the validation set does not
# need backpropagation and thus takes less memory (it doesn't need to
# store the gradients). We take advantage of this to use a larger batch
# size and compute the loss more quickly.

###############################################################################
# We will calculate and print the validation loss at the end of each epoch.
#
# (Note that we always call ``model.train()`` before training, and ``model.eval()``
# before inference, because these are used by layers such as ``nn.BatchNorm2d``
# and ``nn.Dropout`` to ensure appropriate behaviour for these different phases.)

# Wrapping DataLoader
# -----------------------------
#
# Our CNN is fairly concise, but it only works with MNIST, because:
# - It assumes the input is a 28\*28 long vector
# - It assumes that the final CNN grid size is 4\*4 (since that's the average
# pooling kernel size we used)
#
# Let's get rid of these two assumptions, so our model works with any 2d
# single channel image. First, we can remove the initial Lambda layer but
# moving the data preprocessing into a generator:
def preprocess(x, y):
return x.view(-1, 1, 28, 28), y
class WrappedDataLoader:
def __init__(self, dl, func):
self.dl = dl
self.func = func
def __len__(self):
return len(self.dl)
def __iter__(self):
batches = iter(self.dl)
for b in batches:
yield (self.func(*b))
train_dl, valid_dl = get_data(train_ds, valid_ds, bs)
train_dl = WrappedDataLoader(train_dl, preprocess)
valid_dl = WrappedDataLoader(valid_dl, preprocess)

# Next, we can replace ``nn.AvgPool2d`` with ``nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d``, which
# allows us to define the size of the *output* tensor we want, rather than
# the *input* tensor we have. As a result, our model will work with any
# size input.
model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Conv2d(1, 16, kernel_size=3, stride=2, padding=1),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Conv2d(16, 16, kernel_size=3, stride=2, padding=1),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Conv2d(16, 10, kernel_size=3, stride=2, padding=1),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d(1),
Lambda(lambda x: x.view(x.size(0), -1)),
)
opt = optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=lr, momentum=0.9)

# Using your GPU
# ---------------
#
# If you're lucky enough to have access to a CUDA-capable GPU (you can
# rent one for about $0.50/hour from most cloud providers) you can
# use it to speed up your code. First check that your GPU is working in
# Pytorch:
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
###############################################################################
# And then create a device object for it:
dev = torch.device(
"cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
###############################################################################
# Let's update ``preprocess`` to move batches to the GPU:
def preprocess(x, y):
return x.view(-1, 1, 28, 28).to(dev), y.to(dev)
train_dl, valid_dl = get_data(train_ds, valid_ds, bs)
train_dl = WrappedDataLoader(train_dl, preprocess)
valid_dl = WrappedDataLoader(valid_dl, preprocess)
###############################################################################
# Finally, we can move our model to the GPU.
model.to(dev)
opt = optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=lr, momentum=0.9)
###############################################################################
# You should find it runs faster now:
fit(epochs, model, loss_func, opt, train_dl, valid_dl)

# Closing thoughts
# -----------------
#
# We now have a general data pipeline and training loop which you can use for
# training many types of models using Pytorch. To see how simple training a model
# can now be, take a look at the `mnist_sample` sample notebook.
#
# Of course, there are many things you'll want to add, such as data augmentation,
# hyperparameter tuning, monitoring training, transfer learning, and so forth.
# These features are available in the fastai library, which has been developed
# using the same design approach shown in this tutorial, providing a natural
# next step for practitioners looking to take their models further.
#
# We promised at the start of this tutorial we'd explain through example each of
# ``torch.nn``, ``torch.optim``, ``Dataset``, and ``DataLoader``. So let's summarize
# what we've seen:
#
# - **torch.nn**
#
# + ``Module``: creates a callable which behaves like a function, but can also
# contain state(such as neural net layer weights). It knows what ``Parameter`` (s) it
# contains and can zero all their gradients, loop through them for weight updates, etc.
# + ``Parameter``: a wrapper for a tensor that tells a ``Module`` that it has weights
# that need updating during backprop. Only tensors with the `requires_grad` attribute set are updated
# + ``functional``: a module(usually imported into the ``F`` namespace by convention)
# which contains activation functions, loss functions, etc, as well as non-stateful
# versions of layers such as convolutional and linear layers.
# - ``torch.optim``: Contains optimizers such as ``SGD``, which update the weights
# of ``Parameter`` during the backward step
# - ``Dataset``: An abstract interface of objects with a ``__len__`` and a ``__getitem__``,
# including classes provided with Pytorch such as ``TensorDataset``
# - ``DataLoader``: Takes any ``Dataset`` and creates an iterator which returns batches of data.
