Package: trixi-slim
Finally get some structure into your machine learning experiments.trixi(Training & Retrospective Insights eXperiment Infrastructure) is a tool that helps you configure, log and visualize your experiments in a reproducible fashion.FeaturesInstallationDocumentation(trixi.rtfd.io)ExamplesContributeWe're always grateful for contributions, even small ones! We're PhD students and this is just a side project, so there will always be something to improve.The best way is to create pull requests on Github. Fork the repository and work either directly on develop or create a feature branch, whichever you like best. Then go to "Pull requests" on our Github, select "New pull request" and "compare across forks". Select our develop as base and your work as head/compare.We currently don't support the full Github workflow, because we have to mirror from our working repository to Github, but don't worry, we can export the pull requests and apply them so that your contribution will still appear on Github :)Featurestrixiconsists of three parts:Logging APILog whatever data you like in whatever way you like to whatever backend you like.Experiment InfrastructureStandardize your experiment, let the framework do all the inconvenient stuff, and simply start, resume,
change and finetune all your experiments.Experiment BrowserCompare, combine and visually inspect the results of your experiments.An implementation diagram is givenhere.Logging APIThe Logging API provides a standardized way for logging results to different backends.
The Logging API supports
(among others):ValuesTextPlots (Bar, Line, Scatter, Piechart, ...)Images (Single, Grid)And offers different Backends, e.g. :Visdom (visdom-loggers)TensorboardX (tensorboard-loggers)Matplotlib / Seaborn (plt-loggers)Local Disk (file-loggers)Telegram & Slack (message-loggers)And anexperiment-loggerfor logging your experiments, which uses a file logger to automatically create a structured directory and allows
storing of config, results, plots, dict, array, images, etc. That way your experiments will always have the same structure on disk.Here are some examples:Visdom:Files:Telegram:Experiment InfrastructureTheExperiment Infrastructureprovides a unified way to configure, run, store and evaluate your results.
It gives you an experiment interface, for which you can implement the training, validation and testing.
Furthermore it automatically provides you with easy access to the Logging API and stores your config as well as the
results for easy evaluation and reproduction. There is an abstractExperimentclass and aPytorchExperimentwith many convenience features.For more info, visit theDocumentation.Experiment Browser(We're currently remaking this from scratch, expect major improvements :))The Experiment Browser offers a complete overview of experiments along with all config parameters and results.
It also allows to combine and/or compare different experiments, giving you an interactive comparison highlighting differences in the configs and a detailed view of all images,
plots, results and logs of each experiment, with live plots and more.InstallationInstalltrixi:pip install trixiOr to always get the newest version you can installtrixidirectly via git:git clone https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/trixi.git
