# This is a wrapper around train.py which allows you to train a set of models using a variety of different training # paradigms. This works by using the yielding mechanism built into train.py to iterate one step at a time and # synchronize the underlying models. # # Note that this wrapper is **EXTREMELY** simple and doesn't attempt to do many things. Some issues you should plan for: # 1) Each trainer will have its own optimizer for the underlying model - even when the model is shared. # 2) Each trainer will run validation and save model states according to its own schedule. Likewise: # 3) Each trainer will load state params for the models it controls independently, regardless of whether or not those # models are shared. Your best bet is to have all models save state at the same time so that they all load ~ the same # state when re-started. import argparse import train import utils.options as option def main(master_opt, launcher): trainers = [] all_networks = {} shared_networks = [] for i, sub_opt in enumerate(master_opt['trainer_options']): sub_opt_parsed = option.parse(sub_opt, is_train=True) # This creates trainers() as a list of generators. train_gen = train.yielding_main(sub_opt_parsed, launcher, i, all_networks) model = next(train_gen) for k, v in model.networks.items(): if k in all_networks.keys() and k not in shared_networks: shared_networks.append(k) all_networks[k] = v trainers.append(train_gen) print("Networks being shared by trainers: ", shared_networks) # Now, simply "iterate" through the trainers to accomplish training. while True: for trainer in trainers: next(trainer) if __name__ == '__main__': parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() #parser.add_argument('-opt', type=str, help='Path to option YAML file.', default='../options/train_exd_imgset_chained_structured_trans_invariance.yml') parser.add_argument('--launcher', choices=['none', 'pytorch'], default='none', help='job launcher') args = parser.parse_args() opt = { 'trainer_options': ['../options/teco.yml', '../options/exd.yml'] } main(opt, args.launcher)
