# How to override config hyperparameters for particular weights/parameters
|
|
|
|
If you want to optimize some unstable parameters with 32-bit Adam and others with 8-bit Adam, you can use the `GlobalOptimManager`. With this, we can also configure specific hyperparameters for particular layers, such as embedding layers. To do that, we need two things: (1) register the parameter while they are still on the CPU, (2) override the config with the new desired hyperparameters (anytime, anywhere). See our [guide](howto_config_override.md) for more details
|
|
|
|
For global overrides in many different places in your code you can do:
|
|
```python
|
|
import torch
|
|
import bitsandbytes as bnb
|
|
|
|
mng = bnb.optim.GlobalOptimManager.get_instance()
|
|
|
|
model = MyModel()
|
|
mng.register_parameters(model.parameters()) # 1. register parameters while still on CPU
|
|
|
|
model = model.cuda()
|
|
# use 8-bit optimizer states for all parameters
|
|
adam = bnb.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001, optim_bits=8)
|
|
|
|
# 2a. override: the parameter model.fc1.weight now uses 32-bit Adam
|
|
mng.override_config(model.fc1.weight, 'optim_bits', 32)
|
|
|
|
# 2b. override: the two special layers use
|
|
# sparse optimization + different learning rate + different Adam betas
|
|
mng.override_config([model.special.weight, model.also_special.weight],
|
|
key_value_dict ={'is_sparse': True, 'lr': 1e-5, 'betas'=(0.9, 0.98)})
|
|
```
|
|
Possible options for the config override are: `betas, eps, weight_decay, lr, optim_bits, min_8bit_size, percentile_clipping, block_wise, max_unorm`
|
|
|
|
For overrides for particular layers we recommend overriding locally in each module. You can do this by passing the module, the parameter, and its attribute name to the GlobalOptimManager:
|
|
```python
|
|
class MyModule(torch.nn.Module):
|
|
def __init__(din, dout):
|
|
super(MyModule, self).__init__()
|
|
self.linear = torch.nn.Linear(din, dout)
|
|
# optimization will happen in 32-bit and
|
|
# learning rate will be set to 0.0001 independent of the main learning rate
|
|
config = {'optim_bits': 32, 'lr' : 0.0001}
|
|
GlobalOptimManager.get_instance().register_module_override(self, 'weight', config)
|
|
|
|
```
