Introduction
MMEngine is a foundational library for training deep learning models based on PyTorch. It serves as the training engine of all OpenMMLab codebases, which support hundreds of algorithms in various research areas. Moreover, MMEngine is also generic to be applied to non-OpenMMLab projects. Its highlights are as follows:
Integrate mainstream large-scale model training frameworks
Supports a variety of training strategies
Provides a user-friendly configuration system
- Pure Python-style configuration files, easy to navigate
- Plain-text-style configuration files, supporting JSON and YAML
Covers mainstream training monitoring platforms
Installation
Supported PyTorch Versions
| MMEngine | PyTorch | Python | | ------------------ | ------------ | -------------- | | main | >=1.6 \<=2.1 | >=3.8, \<=3.11 | | >=0.9.0, \<=0.10.4 | >=1.6 \<=2.1 | >=3.8, \<=3.11 |Before installing MMEngine, please ensure that PyTorch has been successfully installed following the official guide.
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.
Build Models
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 ```Build Datasets
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) ]))) ```Build Metrics
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) ```Build a Runner
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), ) ```Launch Training
```python runner.train() ```Learn More
