</details>

Before installing MMEngine, please ensure that PyTorch has been successfully installed following the [official guide](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/).

Install MMEngine

```bash
pip install -U openmim
mim install mmengine
```

Verify the installation

```bash
python -c 'from mmengine.utils.dl_utils import collect_env;print(collect_env())'
```

## Get Started

Taking the training of a ResNet-50 model on the CIFAR-10 dataset as an example, we will use MMEngine to build a complete, configurable training and validation process in less than 80 lines of code.

<details>
<summary>Build Models</summary>

First, we need to define a **model** which 1) inherits from `BaseModel` and 2) accepts an additional argument `mode` in the `forward` method, in addition to those arguments related to the dataset.

- During training, the value of `mode` is "loss", and the `forward` method should return a `dict` containing the key "loss".
- During validation, the value of `mode` is "predict", and the forward method should return results containing both predictions and labels.

```python
import torch.nn.functional as F
import torchvision
from mmengine.model import BaseModel

class MMResNet50(BaseModel):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resnet = torchvision.models.resnet50()

    def forward(self, imgs, labels, mode):
        x = self.resnet(imgs)
        if mode == 'loss':
            return {'loss': F.cross_entropy(x, labels)}
        elif mode == 'predict':
            return x, labels
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Build Datasets</summary>

Next, we need to create **Dataset**s and **DataLoader**s for training and validation.
In this case, we simply use built-in datasets supported in TorchVision.

```python
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

norm_cfg = dict(mean=[0.491, 0.482, 0.447], std=[0.202, 0.199, 0.201])
train_dataloader = DataLoader(batch_size=32,
                              shuffle=True,
                              dataset=torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
                                  'data/cifar10',
                                  train=True,
                                  download=True,
                                  transform=transforms.Compose([
                                      transforms.RandomCrop(32, padding=4),
                                      transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
                                      transforms.ToTensor(),
                                      transforms.Normalize(**norm_cfg)
                                  ])))
val_dataloader = DataLoader(batch_size=32,
                            shuffle=False,
                            dataset=torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
                                'data/cifar10',
                                train=False,
                                download=True,
                                transform=transforms.Compose([
                                    transforms.ToTensor(),
                                    transforms.Normalize(**norm_cfg)
                                ])))
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Build Metrics</summary>

To validate and test the model, we need to define a **Metric** called accuracy to evaluate the model. This metric needs to inherit from `BaseMetric` and implements the `process` and `compute_metrics` methods.

```python
from mmengine.evaluator import BaseMetric

class Accuracy(BaseMetric):
    def process(self, data_batch, data_samples):
        score, gt = data_samples
        # Save the results of a batch to `self.results`
        self.results.append({
            'batch_size': len(gt),
            'correct': (score.argmax(dim=1) == gt).sum().cpu(),
        })
    def compute_metrics(self, results):
        total_correct = sum(item['correct'] for item in results)
        total_size = sum(item['batch_size'] for item in results)
        # Returns a dictionary with the results of the evaluated metrics,
        # where the key is the name of the metric
        return dict(accuracy=100 * total_correct / total_size)
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Build a Runner</summary>

Finally, we can construct a **Runner** with previously defined `Model`, `DataLoader`, and `Metrics`, with some other configs, as shown below.

```python
from torch.optim import SGD
from mmengine.runner import Runner

runner = Runner(
    model=MMResNet50(),
    work_dir='./work_dir',
    train_dataloader=train_dataloader,
    # a wrapper to execute back propagation and gradient update, etc.
    optim_wrapper=dict(optimizer=dict(type=SGD, lr=0.001, momentum=0.9)),
    # set some training configs like epochs
    train_cfg=dict(by_epoch=True, max_epochs=5, val_interval=1),
    val_dataloader=val_dataloader,
    val_cfg=dict(),
    val_evaluator=dict(type=Accuracy),
)
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Launch Training</summary>

```python
runner.train()
```
