Can't make Bert model training result reproducible

backpackerice: <p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I am using my customized bert script to train a model. However, everything even I keep the same setting for lr, AdamW weight decay and epoch, and run on the same platform (cuda on SageMaker) with same torch (1.5.0) and transformers (2.11.0) versions,  the results still change a lot in terms of the loss. This make my different experiments not comparable.</p>
<p>Can someone who has experienced this before or have any ideas please advice me on what should I do? I really want to solve this inreproducible issue so that I can continue on my experiments. Super appreciated for your help!</p>
<p>Details as below:</p>
<p>For example, if I set epoch = 4, lr = 1e-5, decay for AdamW as 0.01.<br>
For one run I got this result for the first epoch only showing the last complete 100 batches result:</p>

Abhilash_Srivastava: <p>Your <code>set_seed</code> function looks fine to me and should be sufficient to reproduce the results.<br>
This should be the first thing you should call. Try calling it just after the imports.</p>

backpackerice: <p>Thanks for your reply. I will try call it right after import. However, I have model_train function in a separate script and the model class in a separate script too, do I need to call the set seed function in those two script too? Or just in my main train script? Will it cause any issues if I call the set_seed (for the same seed) in multiple location? (Be more secure or actually cause issues?)</p>

Abhilash_Srivastava: <p>Just in one place. You can call it at multiple locations but it is unnecessary. If you have a main file, call it right after imports there. The idea is to have it in the first file which is getting called, before anything else.</p>
