UPDATE 2021-10-05: Netharn as a Training loop will no longer be maintained. Use pytorch-lightning instead. This library may slowly morph into an extension of lightning.
The main webpage for this project is: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn
If you want a framework for your pytorch training loop that (1) chooses directory names based on hashes of hyperparameters, (2) can write a single-file deployment of your model by statically auto-extracting the in-code definition of the model topology and zipping it with the weights, (3) has brief terminal output and a rich logging output, (4) has rule-based monitoring of validation loss and can reduce the learning rate or early stop, (5) has tensorboard and/or matplotlib visualizations of training statistics, and (6) is designed to be extended, then you might be interested in NetHarn.
- NAME:
- NetHarn (pronounced "net-harn")
- FRAMEWORK:
- PyTorch
- FEATURES:
- hyperparameter tracking
- training directory management
- callback-based public API
- XPU - code abstraction for [cpu, gpu, multi-gpu].
- single-file deployments (NEW in version
0.1.0
). - reasonable test coverage using pytest and xdoctest
- CI testing on appveyor and travis (note a few tests are failing due to minor issues)
- A rich utility set
- Extensions of PyTorch objects (e.g. critions, initializers, layers, optimizers, schedulers)
- BUILTINS:
- training loop boilerplate
- snapshots / checkpoints
- progress bars (backend_choices: [progiter, tqdm])
- data provenance of training history in
train_info.json
- tensorboard metric visualization (optional)
- DESIGN PHILOSOPHY:
- Avoid boilerplate, built-it yourself when you need to, and don't repeat yourself. Experiments should be strongly tied to the choice of hyperparameters, and the framework should be able to construct a directory heirarchy based on these hyperparameters.
- SLOGAN:
- Rein and train.
- USAGE PATTERNS:
- Write code for a torch object (i.e. Dataset, Model, Criterion, Initializer, and Scheduler) just as you normally would.
- Inherit from the
netharn.FitHarn
object, definerun_batch
,on_batch
,on_epoch
, etc... - Create an instance of
netharn.HyperParams
to specify your dataset, model, criterion, etc... - Create an instance of your
FitHarn
object with those hyperparameters. - Then execute its
run
method. - ???
- profit
- EXAMPLES:
- ToyData2d classification with netharn.models.ToyNet2d (see doctest in netharn/fit_harn.py:__DOC__:0)
- MNIST digit classification with MnistNet (netharn/examples/mnist.py)
- Cifar10 category classification with ResNet50 / dpn91 (netharn/examples/cifar.py)
- Voc2007+2012 object detection with YOLOv2 (netharn/examples/yolo_voc.py)
- IBEIS metric learning with SiameseLP (netharn/examples/siam_ibeis.py)
- STABILITY:
- Mostly harmless. Most tests pass, the current failures are probably not critical. I'm able to use it on my machine (tm). In this early stage of development, there are still a few pain points. Issues and PRs welcome.
- KNOWN BUGS:
- The metrics for computing detection mAP / AP might not be correct.
- The YOLO example gets to about 70% mAP (using Girshik's mAP code) whereas we should be hitting 74-76%
- AUTHORS COMMENTS:
- The MNIST, CIFAR, and VOC examples will download the data as needed.
- The CIFAR example for ResNet50 achieves 95.72% accuracy, outperforming the best DPN92 result (95.16%) that I'm aware of. This result seems real, I do not believe I've made an error in measurement (but this has need been peer-reviewed so, caveat emptor). I've reproduced this results a few times. You can use the code in examples/cifar.py to see if you can too (please tell me if you cannot).
- The YOLO example is based of of EAVise's excellent lightnet (https://gitlab.com/EAVISE/lightnet/) package.
- I reimplemented the CocoAPI (see netharn.data.coco_api), because I had some (probably minor) issue with the original implementation. I've extended it quite a bit, and I'd recommend using it.
- The metric-learning example requires code requires the ibeis software: https://github.com/Erotemic/ibeis.
- DEPENDENCIES:
- torch
- numpy
- Cython
- ubelt
- xdoctest
- ... (see requirements.txt)
- Hyperparameter tracking: The hash of your hyperparameters determines the
directory data will be written to. We also allow for a "nicer" means to
manage directory structures. Given a
HyperParams
object, we create the symlink{workdir}/fit/name/{name}
which points to{workdir}/fit/runs/{name}/{hashid}
. - Automatic restarts:
Calling
FitHarn.run
twice restarts training from where you left off by default (as long as the hyperparams haven't changed). - "Smart" Snapshot cleanup:
Maintaining model weights files can be a memory hog. Depending the settings
of
harn.preferences
,netharn.FitHarn
will periodically remove less-recent or low-scoring snapshots. - Deployment files: Model weights and architecture are together written as one reasonably-portable zip-file. We also package training metadata to maintain data provinence and make reproducing experiments easier.
- Restart from any pretrained state:
use
netharn.initializers.PretainedInitializer
. - Utilities for building networks in torch:
Layers like
netharn.layers.ConvNormNd
make it easy to build networks for n=1, 2, or 3 dimensional data. - Analytic output shape and receptive field:
Netharn defines a
netharn.layers.AnalyticModule
, which can automatically defineforward
,output_shape_for
andreceptive_field_for
if users define a special_output_for
method, written with thenetharn.analytic_for.Output
,netharn.analytic_for.Hidden
, andnetharn.analytic_for.OutputFor
special callables. - Example tasks:
Baseline code for standard tasks like: object segmentation, classification,
and detection are defined in
netharn.examples
. The examples also provide example use cases forndsampler
,kwimage
,kwannot
, andkwplot
.
In the future these instructions may actually be different than the developer setup instructions, but for now they are the same.

While all netharn dependencies should be available on pypi (with manylinux2010
wheels for binary packages), there are other packages developed concurrently
with netharn. To install the development version of these dependencies then run
python super_setup.py ensure
to check out the repos and ensure they are on
the correct branch, python super_setup.py develop
to build everything in
development mode, and python super_setup.py pull
to update to the latest on
the branch.
Parameterized fit harnesses for PyTorch.
Trains models and keeps track of your hyperparameters.
This is a clean port of the good parts developed in my research repo: clab
.
See the netharn/examples folder for example usage. The doctests are also a good resource. It would be nice if we had better docs.
NetHarn is a research framework for training and deploying arbitrary PyTorch models. It was designed for the purpose of minimizing training-loop boilerplate and tracking hyperparameters to encourage reproducible research. NetHarn separates the problem of training a model into the following core hyperparameter components: the datasets, model, criterion, initializer, optimizer, and learning rate scheduler. Runs with different hyperparameters are automatically logged to separate directories which makes it simple to compare the results of two experiments. NetHarn also has the ability to create a single-file deployment of a trained model that is independent of the system used to train it. This makes it fast and simple for research results to be externally verified and moved into production.
Netharn is designed around inheriting from the netharn.FitHarn
class,
overloading several methods, and then creating an instance of your custom
FitHarn with specific hyperparameters.
FitHarn allows you to customize the execution of the training loop via its callback system. You write a callback simply overloading one of these methods. There are callbacks with and without default behavior.
The ones with default behavior directly influence the learning process. While these don't have to be overwritten, they usually should be as different tasks require slightly different ways of moving data through the training pipeline.
The ones without default behavior allow the developer to execute custom code at special places in the training loop. These are usually used for logging custom metrics and outputing visualizations.
The following note lists the callbacks in roughly the order in which they are
called by the FitHarn.run
method. The tree structure denotes loop nesting.
├─ after_initialize (no default) - runs after FitHarn is initialized │ │ │ ├─ before_epochs (no default) - runs once before all train/vali/test │ │ │ epochs on each iteration │ │ │ │ │ ├─ prepare_epoch (no default) - runs before each train, vali, │ │ │ │ and test epoch │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─ prepare_batch (has default behavior) - transfer data from │ │ │ │ CPU to the XPU │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─ run_batch (has default behavior) - execute the forward pass │ │ │ │ and compute the loss │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─ backpropogate (has default behavior) - accumulate gradients │ │ │ │ and take an optimization step │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─ on_batch (no default) - runs after `run_batch` and │ │ │ `backpropogate` on every batch │ │ │ │ │ └─ on_epoch (no default) - runs after each train, vali, and test │ │ epoch finishes. Any custom scalar metrics returned in a │ │ dictionary will be recorded by the FitHarn loggers. │ │ │ └─ after_epochs (no default) - runs after the all data splits are │ finished with the current epoch. │ └─ on_complete (no default) - runs after the main loop is complete
Given a custom FitHarn class see the "Toy Example" section for details on how
to construct hyperparamters and execute the training loop (i.e.
FitHarn.run
).
In the future these instructions might be different from the install instructions, but for now they are the same.

Netharn's documentation is currently sparse. I typically do most of my documenting in the code itself using docstrings. In the future much of this will likely be consolidated in a read-the-docs style documentation page, but for now you'll need to look at the code to read the docs.
The main concept provided by netharn is the "FitHarn", which has a decent module level docstring, and a lot of good class / method level docstrings: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/fit_harn.py
The examples folder has better docstrings with task-level documentation:
The simplest is the mnist example: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/mnist.py
The CIFAR example builds on the mnist example: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/cifar.py
I'd recommend going through those two examples, as they have the best documentation.
The segmentation example: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/segmentation.py
and object detection example: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/object_detection.py
have less documentation, but provide more real-world style examples of how netharn is used.
There is an applied segmentation example that is specific to the CAMVID dataset: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/sseg_camvid.py
And there is an applied VOC detection example: https://gitlab.kitware.com/computer-vision/netharn/-/blob/master/netharn/examples/yolo_voc.py
This README also contains a toy example.
This following example is the doctest in netharn/fit_harn.py
. It
demonstrates how to use NetHarn to train a model to solve a toy problem.
In this toy problem, we do not extend the netharn.FitHarn object, so we are using
the default behavior of run_batch
. The default on_batch
, and
on_epoch
do nothing, so only loss will be the only measurement of
performance.
For further examples please see the examples directory. These example show how to extend netharn.FitHarn to measure performance wrt a particular problem. The MNIST and CIFAR examples are the most simple. The YOLO example is more complex. The IBEIS example depends on non-public data / software, but can still be useful to look at. Its complexity is more than CIFAR but less than YOLO.

pytorch-lightning (https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning) has very similar goals to netharn. Currently, there are strengths and weaknesses to both, but in the future I do see one consuming functionality of the other. Currently (2020-10-21), pytorch-lightning does distributed training better, whereas netharn's logging and hyperparameter management outshines pytorch-lightning.
The bioharn package (https://gitlab.kitware.com/jon.crall/bioharn) implements extensions of the classifier and detector examples in the netharn/examples folder as well as prediction and evaluation scripts.
