PyTorch is a popular machine learning library developed by Facebook

Installation

See PyTorch Getting Started

# If using conda, python 3.5+, and CUDA 10.0 (+ compatible cudnn)
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.0 -c pytorch

Getting Started

import torch
import torch.nn as nn

# Training
for epoch in range(epochs):
  running_loss = 0.0
    for i, data in enumerate(trainloader, 0):
        # get the inputs; data is a list of [inputs, labels]
        inputs, labels = data

        # zero the parameter gradients
        optimizer.zero_grad()

        # forward + backward + optimize
        outputs = net(inputs)
        loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

Importing Data

See Data Loading Tutorial

Usage

torch.nn.functional

PyTorch Documentation

F.grid_sample

Doc
This function allows you to perform interpolation on your input tensor.
It is very useful for resizing images or warping images.

Memory Usage

Reducing memory usage

  • Save loss using .item() which returns a standard Python number
  • For non-scalar items, use my_var.detach().cpu().numpy()
  • detach() deletes the item from the autograd edge
  • cpu() copies the tensor to the CPU
  • numpy() returns a numpy view of the tensor

TensorBoard

See PyTorch Docs: Tensorboard

from torch.utils.tensorboard import SummaryWriter
writer = SummaryWriter(log_dir="./runs")

# Calculate loss. Increment the step.

writer.add_scalar("train_loss", loss.item(), step)

# Optionally flush e.g. at checkpoints
writer.flush()

# Close the writer (will flush)
writer.close()

PyTorch3D

PyTorch3D is a library by Facebook AI Research which contains structures and differentiable mesh, point cloud renderers.
It is build with custom CUDA kernels.
