Callbacks

Callbacks可以用来自定义PyTorch [Trainer]中训练循环行为的对象(此功能尚未在TensorFlow中实现),该对象可以检查训练循环状态(用于进度报告、在TensorBoard或其他ML平台上记录日志等),并做出决策(例如提前停止)。

Callbacks是“只读”的代码片段,除了它们返回的[TrainerControl]对象外,它们不能更改训练循环中的任何内容。对于需要更改训练循环的自定义,您应该继承[Trainer]并重载您需要的方法(有关示例,请参见trainer)。

默认情况下,TrainingArguments.report_to 设置为”all”,然后[Trainer]将使用以下callbacks。

如果安装了一个软件包,但您不希望使用相关的集成,您可以将 TrainingArguments.report_to 更改为仅包含您想要使用的集成的列表(例如 ["azure_ml", "wandb"])。

实现callbacks的主要类是TrainerCallback。它获取用于实例化TrainerTrainingArguments,可以通过TrainerState访问该Trainer的内部状态,并可以通过TrainerControl对训练循环执行一些操作。

可用的Callbacks

这里是库里可用TrainerCallback的列表:

class transformers.integrations.CometCallback

< >

( )

A TrainerCallback that sends the logs to Comet ML.

setup

< >

( args state model )

Setup the optional Comet.ml integration.

Environment:

  • COMET_MODE (str, optional, defaults to ONLINE): Whether to create an online, offline experiment or disable Comet logging. Can be OFFLINE, ONLINE, or DISABLED.
  • COMET_PROJECT_NAME (str, optional): Comet project name for experiments.
  • COMET_OFFLINE_DIRECTORY (str, optional): Folder to use for saving offline experiments when COMET_MODE is OFFLINE.
  • COMET_LOG_ASSETS (str, optional, defaults to TRUE): Whether or not to log training assets (tf event logs, checkpoints, etc), to Comet. Can be TRUE, or FALSE.

For a number of configurable items in the environment, see here.

class transformers.DefaultFlowCallback

< >

( )

A TrainerCallback that handles the default flow of the training loop for logs, evaluation and checkpoints.

class transformers.PrinterCallback

< >

( )

A bare TrainerCallback that just prints the logs.

class transformers.ProgressCallback

< >

( )

A TrainerCallback that displays the progress of training or evaluation.

class transformers.EarlyStoppingCallback

< >

( early_stopping_patience: int = 1 early_stopping_threshold: Optional = 0.0 )

Parameters

  • early_stopping_patience (int) — Use with metric_for_best_model to stop training when the specified metric worsens for early_stopping_patience evaluation calls.
  • early_stopping_threshold(float, optional) — Use with TrainingArguments metric_for_best_model and early_stopping_patience to denote how much the specified metric must improve to satisfy early stopping conditions. `

A TrainerCallback that handles early stopping.

This callback depends on TrainingArguments argument load_best_model_at_end functionality to set best_metric in TrainerState. Note that if the TrainingArguments argument save_steps differs from eval_steps, the early stopping will not occur until the next save step.

class transformers.integrations.TensorBoardCallback

< >

( tb_writer = None )

Parameters

  • tb_writer (SummaryWriter, optional) — The writer to use. Will instantiate one if not set.

A TrainerCallback that sends the logs to TensorBoard.

class transformers.integrations.WandbCallback

< >

( )

A TrainerCallback that logs metrics, media, model checkpoints to Weight and Biases.

setup

< >

( args state model **kwargs )

Setup the optional Weights & Biases (wandb) integration.

One can subclass and override this method to customize the setup if needed. Find more information here. You can also override the following environment variables:

Environment:

  • WANDB_LOG_MODEL (str, optional, defaults to "false"): Whether to log model and checkpoints during training. Can be "end", "checkpoint" or "false". If set to "end", the model will be uploaded at the end of training. If set to "checkpoint", the checkpoint will be uploaded every args.save_steps . If set to "false", the model will not be uploaded. Use along with load_best_model_at_end() to upload best model.

    Deprecated in 5.0

    Setting WANDB_LOG_MODEL as bool will be deprecated in version 5 of 🤗 Transformers.

  • WANDB_WATCH (str, optional defaults to "false"): Can be "gradients", "all", "parameters", or "false". Set to "all" to log gradients and parameters.

  • WANDB_PROJECT (str, optional, defaults to "huggingface"): Set this to a custom string to store results in a different project.

  • WANDB_DISABLED (bool, optional, defaults to False): Whether to disable wandb entirely. Set WANDB_DISABLED=true to disable.

class transformers.integrations.MLflowCallback

< >

( )

A TrainerCallback that sends the logs to MLflow. Can be disabled by setting environment variable DISABLE_MLFLOW_INTEGRATION = TRUE.

setup

< >

( args state model )

Setup the optional MLflow integration.

Environment:

  • HF_MLFLOW_LOG_ARTIFACTS (str, optional): Whether to use MLflow .log_artifact() facility to log artifacts. This only makes sense if logging to a remote server, e.g. s3 or GCS. If set to True or 1, will copy each saved checkpoint on each save in TrainingArguments’s output_dir to the local or remote artifact storage. Using it without a remote storage will just copy the files to your artifact location.

  • MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME (str, optional, defaults to None): Whether to use an MLflow experiment_name under which to launch the run. Default to None which will point to the Default experiment in MLflow. Otherwise, it is a case sensitive name of the experiment to be activated. If an experiment with this name does not exist, a new experiment with this name is created.
  • MLFLOW_TAGS (str, optional): A string dump of a dictionary of key/value pair to be added to the MLflow run as tags. Example: os.environ['MLFLOW_TAGS']='{"release.candidate": "RC1", "release.version": "2.2.0"}'.
  • MLFLOW_NESTED_RUN (str, optional): Whether to use MLflow nested runs. If set to True or 1, will create a nested run inside the current run.
  • MLFLOW_RUN_ID (str, optional): Allow to reattach to an existing run which can be usefull when resuming training from a checkpoint. When MLFLOW_RUN_ID environment variable is set, start_run attempts to resume a run with the specified run ID and other parameters are ignored.
  • MLFLOW_FLATTEN_PARAMS (str, optional, defaults to False): Whether to flatten the parameters dictionary before logging.

class transformers.integrations.AzureMLCallback

  • log_checkpoints (str, optional) — If “same”, uploads checkpoints whenever they are saved by the Trainer. If “last”, uploads only the most recently saved checkpoint. If “best”, uploads the best checkpoint (among the ones saved by the Trainer). If None, does not upload checkpoints.
  • run (Run, optional) — Pass a Neptune run object if you want to continue logging to an existing run. Read more about resuming runs in the docs.
  • **neptune_run_kwargs (optional) — Additional keyword arguments to be passed directly to the neptune.init_run() function when a new run is created.

( )

Parameters

  • args (TrainingArguments) — The training arguments used to instantiate the Trainer.
  • state (TrainerState) — The current state of the Trainer.
  • control (TrainerControl) — The object that is returned to the Trainer and can be used to make some decisions.
  • model (PreTrainedModel or torch.nn.Module) — The model being trained.
  • tokenizer (PreTrainedTokenizer) — The tokenizer used for encoding the data.
  • optimizer (torch.optim.Optimizer) — The optimizer used for the training steps.
  • lr_scheduler (torch.optim.lr_scheduler.LambdaLR) — The scheduler used for setting the learning rate.
  • train_dataloader (torch.utils.data.DataLoader, optional) — The current dataloader used for training.
  • eval_dataloader (torch.utils.data.DataLoader, optional) — The current dataloader used for training.
  • metrics (Dict[str, float]) — The metrics computed by the last evaluation phase.

    Those are only accessible in the event on_evaluate.

  • logs (Dict[str, float]) — The values to log.

    Those are only accessible in the event on_log.

A class for objects that will inspect the state of the training loop at some events and take some decisions. At each of those events the following arguments are available:

The control object is the only one that can be changed by the callback, in which case the event that changes it should return the modified version.

The argument args, state and control are positionals for all events, all the others are grouped in kwargs. You can unpack the ones you need in the signature of the event using them. As an example, see the code of the simple PrinterCallback.

Example:

class PrinterCallback(TrainerCallback):
    def on_log(self, args, state, control, logs=None, **kwargs):
        _ = logs.pop("total_flos", None)
        if state.is_local_process_zero:
            print(logs)

以下是如何使用PyTorch注册自定义callback的示例:

Trainer:

class MyCallback(TrainerCallback):
    "A callback that prints a message at the beginning of training"

    def on_train_begin(self, args, state, control, **kwargs):
        print("Starting training")


trainer = Trainer(
    model,
    args,
    train_dataset=train_dataset,
    eval_dataset=eval_dataset,
    callbacks=[MyCallback],  # We can either pass the callback class this way or an instance of it (MyCallback())
)

注册callback的另一种方式是调用 trainer.add_callback(),如下所示:

trainer = Trainer(...)
trainer.add_callback(MyCallback)
# Alternatively, we can pass an instance of the callback class
trainer.add_callback(MyCallback())

  • eval_steps (int, optional) — Run an evaluation every X steps.
  • save_steps (int, optional, defaults to 500) — Save checkpoint every X updates steps.
  • train_batch_size (int, optional) — The batch size for the training dataloader. Only needed when auto_find_batch_size has been used.
  • num_input_tokens_seen (int, optional, defaults to 0) — The number of tokens seen during training (number of input tokens, not the number of prediction tokens).
  • total_flos (float, optional, defaults to 0) — The total number of floating operations done by the model since the beginning of training (stored as floats to avoid overflow).
  • log_history (List[Dict[str, float]], optional) — The list of logs done since the beginning of training.
  • best_metric (float, optional) — When tracking the best model, the value of the best metric encountered so far.
  • best_model_checkpoint (str, optional) — When tracking the best model, the value of the name of the checkpoint for the best model encountered so far.
