skorch.net

Neural net classes.

class skorch.net.NeuralNet(module, criterion, optimizer=<class 'torch.optim.sgd.SGD'>, lr=0.01, max_epochs=10, batch_size=128, iterator_train=<class 'torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader'>, iterator_valid=<class 'torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader'>, dataset=<class 'skorch.dataset.Dataset'>, train_split=<skorch.dataset.CVSplit object>, callbacks=None, predict_nonlinearity='auto', warm_start=False, verbose=1, device='cpu', **kwargs)[source]

NeuralNet base class.

The base class covers more generic cases. Depending on your use case, you might want to use NeuralNetClassifier or NeuralNetRegressor.

In addition to the parameters listed below, there are parameters with specific prefixes that are handled separately. To illustrate this, here is an example:

>>> net = NeuralNet(
...    ...,
...    optimizer=torch.optimizer.SGD,
...    optimizer__momentum=0.95,
...)

This way, when optimizer is initialized, NeuralNet will take care of setting the momentum parameter to 0.95.

(Note that the double underscore notation in optimizer__momentum means that the parameter momentum should be set on the object optimizer. This is the same semantic as used by sklearn.)

Furthermore, this allows to change those parameters later:

net.set_params(optimizer__momentum=0.99)

This can be useful when you want to change certain parameters using a callback, when using the net in an sklearn grid search, etc.

By default an EpochTimer, BatchScoring (for both training and validation datasets), and PrintLog callbacks are installed for the user’s convenience.

Parameters:
module : torch module (class or instance)

A PyTorch Module. In general, the uninstantiated class should be passed, although instantiated modules will also work.

criterion : torch criterion (class)

The uninitialized criterion (loss) used to optimize the module.

optimizer : torch optim (class, default=torch.optim.SGD)

The uninitialized optimizer (update rule) used to optimize the module

lr : float (default=0.01)

Learning rate passed to the optimizer. You may use lr instead of using optimizer__lr, which would result in the same outcome.

max_epochs : int (default=10)

The number of epochs to train for each fit call. Note that you may keyboard-interrupt training at any time.

batch_size : int (default=128)

Mini-batch size. Use this instead of setting iterator_train__batch_size and iterator_test__batch_size, which would result in the same outcome. If batch_size is -1, a single batch with all the data will be used during training and validation.

iterator_train : torch DataLoader

The default PyTorch DataLoader used for training data.

iterator_valid : torch DataLoader

The default PyTorch DataLoader used for validation and test data, i.e. during inference.

dataset : torch Dataset (default=skorch.dataset.Dataset)

The dataset is necessary for the incoming data to work with pytorch’s DataLoader. It has to implement the __len__ and __getitem__ methods. The provided dataset should be capable of dealing with a lot of data types out of the box, so only change this if your data is not supported. You should generally pass the uninitialized Dataset class and define additional arguments to X and y by prefixing them with dataset__. It is also possible to pass an initialzed Dataset, in which case no additional arguments may be passed.

train_split : None or callable (default=skorch.dataset.CVSplit(5))

If None, there is no train/validation split. Else, train_split should be a function or callable that is called with X and y data and should return the tuple dataset_train, dataset_valid. The validation data may be None.

callbacks : None, “disable”, or list of Callback instances (default=None)

Which callbacks to enable. There are three possible values:

If callbacks=None, only use default callbacks, those returned by get_default_callbacks.

If callbacks="disable", disable all callbacks, i.e. do not run any of the callbacks.

If callbacks is a list of callbacks, use those callbacks in addition to the default callbacks. Each callback should be an instance of Callback.

Callback names are inferred from the class name. Name conflicts are resolved by appending a count suffix starting with 1, e.g. EpochScoring_1. Alternatively, a tuple (name, callback) can be passed, where name should be unique. Callbacks may or may not be instantiated. The callback name can be used to set parameters on specific callbacks (e.g., for the callback with name 'print_log', use net.set_params(callbacks__print_log__keys_ignored=['epoch', 'train_loss'])).

predict_nonlinearity : callable, None, or ‘auto’ (default=’auto’)

The nonlinearity to be applied to the prediction. When set to ‘auto’, infers the correct nonlinearity based on the criterion (softmax for CrossEntropyLoss and sigmoid for BCEWithLogitsLoss). If it cannot be inferred or if the parameter is None, just use the identity function. Don’t pass a lambda function if you want the net to be pickleable.

In case a callable is passed, it should accept the output of the module (the first output if there is more than one), which is a PyTorch tensor, and return the transformed PyTorch tensor.

This can be useful, e.g., when predict_proba() should return probabilities but a criterion is used that does not expect probabilities. In that case, the module can return whatever is required by the criterion and the predict_nonlinearity transforms this output into probabilities.

The nonlinearity is applied only when calling predict() or predict_proba() but not anywhere else – notably, the loss is unaffected by this nonlinearity.

warm_start : bool (default=False)

Whether each fit call should lead to a re-initialization of the module (cold start) or whether the module should be trained further (warm start).

verbose : int (default=1)

This parameter controls how much print output is generated by the net and its callbacks. By setting this value to 0, e.g. the summary scores at the end of each epoch are no longer printed. This can be useful when running a hyperparameter search. The summary scores are always logged in the history attribute, regardless of the verbose setting.

device : str, torch.device (default=’cpu’)

The compute device to be used. If set to ‘cuda’, data in torch tensors will be pushed to cuda tensors before being sent to the module. If set to None, then all compute devices will be left unmodified.

Attributes:
prefixes_ : list of str

Contains the prefixes to special parameters. E.g., since there is the 'module' prefix, it is possible to set parameters like so: NeuralNet(..., optimizer__momentum=0.95).

cuda_dependent_attributes_ : list of str

Contains a list of all attribute prefixes whose values depend on a CUDA device. If a NeuralNet trained with a CUDA-enabled device is unpickled on a machine without CUDA or with CUDA disabled, the listed attributes are mapped to CPU. Expand this list if you want to add other cuda-dependent attributes.

initialized_ : bool

Whether the NeuralNet was initialized.

module_ : torch module (instance)

The instantiated module.

criterion_ : torch criterion (instance)

The instantiated criterion.

callbacks_ : list of tuples

The complete (i.e. default and other), initialized callbacks, in a tuple with unique names.

get_dataset(X, y=None)[source]

Get a dataset that contains the input data and is passed to the iterator.

Override this if you want to initialize your dataset differently.

By default, you should be able to pass:

  • numpy arrays
  • torch tensors
  • pandas DataFrame or Series

Returns:
dataset

The initialized dataset.

get_iterator(dataset, training=False)[source]

Get an iterator that allows to loop over the batches of the given data.

If self.iterator_train__batch_size and/or self.iterator_test__batch_size are not set, use self.batch_size instead.

Usually, self.dataset, initialized with the corresponding data, is passed to get_iterator.

training : bool (default=False)

Whether to use iterator_train or iterator_test.

iterator

An instantiated iterator that allows to loop over the mini-batches.

get_loss(y_pred, y_true, X=None, training=False)[source]

training : bool (default=False)

Whether train mode should be used or not.

get_params_for(prefix)[source]

Collect and return init parameters for an attribute.

Attributes could be, for instance, pytorch modules, criteria, or data loaders (for optimizers, use get_params_for_optimizer() instead). Use the returned arguments to initialize the given attribute like this:

# inside initialize_module method
kwargs = self.get_params_for('module')
self.module_ = self.module(**kwargs)

Proceed analogously for the criterion etc.

The reason to use this method is so that it’s possible to change the init parameters with set_params(), which in turn makes grid search and other similar things work.

Note that in general, as a user, you never have to deal with this method because initialize_module() etc. are already taking care of this. You only need to deal with this if you override initialize_module() (or similar methods) because you have some custom code that requires it.

Parameters:
prefix : str

The name of the attribute whose arguments should be returned. E.g. for the module, it should be 'module'.

Returns:
kwargs : dict

Keyword arguments to be used as init parameters.

get_params_for_optimizer(prefix, named_parameters)[source]

Collect and return init parameters for an optimizer.

Parse kwargs configuration for the optimizer identified by the given prefix. Supports param group assignment using wildcards:

optimizer__lr=0.05,
optimizer__param_groups=[
    ('rnn*.period', {'lr': 0.3, 'momentum': 0}),
    ('rnn0', {'lr': 0.1}),
]

Generally, use this method like this:

# inside initialize_optimizer method
named_params = self.module_.named_parameters()
pgroups, kwargs = self.get_params_for_optimizer('optimizer', named_params)
if 'lr' not in kwargs:
    kwargs['lr'] = self.lr
self.optimizer_ = self.optimizer(*pgroups, **kwargs)

The reason to use this method is so that it’s possible to change the init parameters with set_params(), which in turn makes grid search and other similar things work.

Note that in general, as a user, you never have to deal with this method because initialize_optimizer() is already taking care of this. You only need to deal with this if you override initialize_optimizer() because you have some custom code that requires it.

Parameters:
prefix : str

The name of the optimizer whose arguments should be returned. Typically, this should just be 'optimizer'. There can be exceptions, however, e.g. if you want to use more than one optimizer.

named_parameters : iterator

Iterator over the parameters of the module that is intended to be optimized. It’s the return value of my_module.named_parameters().

Returns:
args : tuple

All positional arguments for this optimizer (right now only one, the parameter groups).

kwargs : dict

All other parameters for this optimizer, e.g. the learning rate.

get_split_datasets(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]

Get internal train and validation datasets.

The validation dataset can be None if self.train_split is set to None; then internal validation will be skipped.

Override this if you want to change how the net splits incoming data into train and validation part.

Parameters:
X : input data, compatible with skorch.dataset.Dataset

By default, you should be able to pass:

  • numpy arrays
  • torch tensors
  • pandas DataFrame or Series
  • scipy sparse CSR matrices
  • a dictionary of the former three
  • a list/tuple of the former three
  • a Dataset

If this doesn’t work with your data, you have to pass a Dataset that can deal with the data.

y : target data, compatible with skorch.dataset.Dataset

The same data types as for X are supported. If your X is a Dataset that contains the target, y may be set to None.

**fit_params : dict

Additional parameters passed to the self.train_split call.

Returns:
dataset_train

The initialized training dataset.

dataset_valid

The initialized validation dataset or None

get_train_step_accumulator()[source]

Return the train step accumulator.

By default, the accumulator stores and retrieves the first value from the optimizer call. Most optimizers make only one call, so first value is at the same time the only value.

In case of some optimizers, e.g. LBFGS, train_step_calc_gradient is called multiple times, as the loss function is evaluated multiple times per optimizer call. If you don’t want to return the first value in that case, override this method to return your custom accumulator.

infer(x, **fit_params)[source]

Perform a single inference step on a batch of data.

Parameters:
x : input data

A batch of the input data.

**fit_params : dict

Additional parameters passed to the forward method of the module and to the self.train_split call.

initialize()[source]

Initializes all components of the NeuralNet and returns self.

initialize_callbacks()[source]

Initializes all callbacks and save the result in the callbacks_ attribute.

Both default_callbacks and callbacks are used (in that order). Callbacks may either be initialized or not, and if they don’t have a name, the name is inferred from the class name. The initialize method is called on all callbacks.

The final result will be a list of tuples, where each tuple consists of a name and an initialized callback. If names are not unique, a ValueError is raised.

initialize_criterion()[source]

Initializes the criterion.

initialize_history()[source]

Initializes the history.

initialize_module()[source]

Initializes the module.

Note that if the module has learned parameters, those will be reset.

initialize_optimizer(triggered_directly=True)[source]

Initialize the model optimizer. If self.optimizer__lr is not set, use self.lr instead.

Parameters:
triggered_directly : bool (default=True)

Only relevant when optimizer is re-initialized. Initialization of the optimizer can be triggered directly (e.g. when lr was changed) or indirectly (e.g. when the module was re-initialized). If and only if the former happens, the user should receive a message informing them about the parameters that caused the re-initialization.

load_params(f_params=None, f_optimizer=None, f_criterion=None, f_history=None, checkpoint=None, **kwargs)[source]

Loads the the module’s parameters, history, and optimizer, not the whole object.

To save and load the whole object, use pickle.

f_params, f_optimizer, etc. uses PyTorch’s load().

If you’ve created a custom module, e.g. net.mymodule_, you can save that as well by passing f_mymodule.

Parameters:
f_params : file-like object, str, None (default=None)

Path of module parameters. Pass None to not load.

f_optimizer : file-like object, str, None (default=None)

Path of optimizer. Pass None to not load.

f_criterion : file-like object, str, None (default=None)

Path of criterion. Pass None to not save

f_history : file-like object, str, None (default=None)

Path to history. Pass None to not load.

checkpoint : Checkpoint, None (default=None)

Checkpoint to load params from. If a checkpoint and a f_* path is passed in, the f_* will be loaded. Pass None to not load.

>>> before = NeuralNetClassifier(mymodule)
>>> before.save_params(f_params='model.pkl',
>>>                    f_optimizer='optimizer.pkl',
>>>                    f_history='history.json')
>>> after = NeuralNetClassifier(mymodule).initialize()
>>> after.load_params(f_params='model.pkl',
>>>                   f_optimizer='optimizer.pkl',
>>>                   f_history='history.json')
notify(method_name, **cb_kwargs)[source]

Call the callback method specified in method_name with parameters specified in cb_kwargs.

Method names can be one of: * on_train_begin * on_train_end * on_epoch_begin * on_epoch_end * on_batch_begin * on_batch_end

partial_fit(X, y=None, classes=None, **fit_params)[source]

  • numpy arrays
  • torch tensors
  • pandas DataFrame or Series
