This repository contains an implementation of the architecture from "Broadcasted Residual Learning for Efficient Keyword Spotting" by Byeonggeun Kim, Simyung Chang, Jinkyu Lee, Dooyong Sun. https://www.isca-speech.org/archive/pdfs/interspeech_2021/kim21l_interspeech.pdf.
The model code is divided into three documents.
- The broadcasted residual building blocks can be found in
src/models/components/broadcasted_residual_blocks.py. This document contains two classes: a normal broadcasted residual block and a transition broadcasted residual block. Additionally, it contains a functionbuild_stagethat returns a stage as defined in the paper cited above. - The ResNet implementation, which uses the broadcasted residual blocks, can be found in
src/models/components/broadcasted_res_net.py. - The subspectral normalization method used in the paper can be found in
src/utils/subspectral_normalization.py.
The project is structured this way in accordance with an incredibly useful PyTorch template, called Lightning-Hydra-Template. The README for this template can be found below.
For the ease of review, I have placed all of the code in one central place as well, which can be found at coding_demo.py in the root directory of this repository.
To run the demo, issue the command python coding_demo.py. Ensure that you have the latest version of PyTorch installed.
A clean and scalable template to kickstart your deep learning project 🚀⚡🔥
Click on Use this template to initialize new repository.
Suggestions are always welcome!
This template tries to be as general as possible. It integrates many different MLOps tools.
Effective usage of this template requires learning of a couple of technologies: PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning and Hydra. Knowledge of some experiment logging framework like Weights&Biases, Neptune or MLFlow is also recommended.
Why you should use it: it allows you to rapidly iterate over new models/datasets and scale your projects from small single experiments to hyperparameter searches on computing clusters, without writing any boilerplate code. To my knowledge, it's one of the most convenient all-in-one technology stack for Deep Learning research. Good starting point for reproducing papers, kaggle competitions or small-team research projects. It's also a collection of best practices for efficient workflow and reproducibility.
Why you shouldn't use it: this template is not fitted to be a production environment, should be used more as a fast experimentation tool. Apart from that, Lightning and Hydra are still evolving and integrate many libraries, which means sometimes things break - for the list of currently known bugs, visit this page. Also, even though Lightning is very flexible, it's not well suited for every possible deep learning task. See #Limitations for more.
PyTorch Lightning is a lightweight PyTorch wrapper for high-performance AI research. It makes your code neatly organized and provides lots of useful features, like ability to run model on CPU, GPU, multi-GPU cluster and TPU.
Hydra is an open-source Python framework that simplifies the development of research and other complex applications. The key feature is the ability to dynamically create a hierarchical configuration by composition and override it through config files and the command line. It allows you to conveniently manage experiments and provides many useful plugins, like Optuna Sweeper for hyperparameter search, or Ray Launcher for running jobs on a cluster.

When running python run.py you should see something like this:
Override any config parameter from command line
Hydra allows you to easily overwrite any parameter defined in your config.
python run.py trainer.max_epochs=20 model.lr=1e-4You can also add new parameters with
+sign.
python run.py +model.new_param="uwu"Train on CPU, GPU, multi-GPU and TPU
PyTorch Lightning makes it easy to train your models on different hardware.

python run.py +trainer.track_grad_norm=2Resume training from checkpoint
Checkpoint can be either path or URL. Path should be absolute!
python run.py +trainer.resume_from_checkpoint="/absolute/path/to/ckpt/name.ckpt"
⚠️ Currently loading ckpt in Lightning doesn't resume logger experiment, but it will be supported in future Lightning release.
Create a sweep over hyperparameters
# this will run 6 experiments one after the other,
# each with different combination of batch_size and learning rate
python run.py -m datamodule.batch_size=32,64,128 model.lr=0.001,0.0005
⚠️ This sweep is not failure resistant (if one job crashes than the whole sweep crashes).
Create a sweep over hyperparameters with Optuna
Using Optuna Sweeper plugin doesn't require you to code any boilerplate into your pipeline, everything is defined in a single config file!
# this will run hyperparameter search defined in `configs/hparams_search/mnist_optuna.yaml`
# over chosen experiment config
python run.py -m hparams_search=mnist_optuna experiment=example_simple
⚠️ Currently this sweep is not failure resistant (if one job crashes than the whole sweep crashes). Might be supported in future Hydra release.
Execute all experiments from folder
Hydra provides special syntax for controlling behavior of multiruns. Learn more here. The command below executes all experiments from folder configs/experiment/.
python run.py -m 'experiment=glob(*)'Execute sweep on a remote AWS cluster
This should be achievable with simple config using Ray AWS launcher for Hydra. Example is not yet implemented in this template.
Use Hydra tab completion
Hydra allows you to autocomplete config argument overrides in shell as you write them, by pressing
tabkey. Learn more here.

- First, you should probably get familiar with PyTorch Lightning
- Next, go through Hydra quick start guide and basic Hydra tutorial
Every run is initialized by run.py file. All PyTorch Lightning modules are dynamically instantiated from module paths specified in config. Example model config:
_target_: src.models.mnist_model.MNISTLitModule
input_size: 784
lin1_size: 256
lin2_size: 256
lin3_size: 256
output_size: 10
lr: 0.001Using this config we can instantiate the object with the following line:
model = hydra.utils.instantiate(config.model)This allows you to easily iterate over new models!
Every time you create a new one, just specify its module path and parameters in appriopriate config file.
Switch between models and datamodules with command line arguments:
python run.py model=mnistThe whole pipeline managing the instantiation logic is placed in src/train.py.
Location: configs/config.yaml
Main project config contains default training configuration.
It determines how config is composed when simply executing command python run.py.

Hydra creates new working directory for every executed run.
This means your working directory is different for every run, which might not be compatible with some libraries and workflows. By default, logs have the following structure:

You can change this structure by modifying paths in hydra configuration.
PyTorch Lightning supports the most popular logging frameworks:
Weights&Biases · Neptune · Comet · MLFlow · Tensorboard
These tools help you keep track of hyperparameters and output metrics and allow you to compare and visualize results. To use one of them simply complete its configuration in configs/logger and run:
python run.py logger=logger_nameYou can use many of them at once (see configs/logger/many_loggers.yaml for example).
You can also write your own logger.
Lightning provides convenient method for logging custom metrics from inside LightningModule. Read the docs here or take a look at MNIST example.
Defining hyperparameter optimization is as easy as adding new config file to configs/hparams_search.
Show example
defaults:
- override /hydra/sweeper: optuna
# choose metric which will be optimized by Optuna
optimized_metric: "val/acc_best"
hydra:
# here we define Optuna hyperparameter search
# it optimizes for value returned from function with @hydra.main decorator
# learn more here: https://hydra.cc/docs/next/plugins/optuna_sweeper
sweeper:
_target_: hydra_plugins.hydra_optuna_sweeper.optuna_sweeper.OptunaSweeper
storage: null
study_name: null
n_jobs: 1
# 'minimize' or 'maximize' the objective
direction: maximize
# number of experiments that will be executed
n_trials: 20
# choose Optuna hyperparameter sampler
# learn more here: https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers.html
sampler:
_target_: optuna.samplers.TPESampler
seed: 12345
consider_prior: true
prior_weight: 1.0
consider_magic_clip: true
consider_endpoints: false
n_startup_trials: 10
n_ei_candidates: 24
multivariate: false
warn_independent_sampling: true
# define range of hyperparameters
search_space:
datamodule.batch_size:
type: categorical
choices: [32, 64, 128]
model.lr:
type: float
low: 0.0001
high: 0.2
model.lin1_size:
type: categorical
choices: [32, 64, 128, 256, 512]
model.lin2_size:
type: categorical
choices: [32, 64, 128, 256, 512]
model.lin3_size:
type: categorical
choices: [32, 64, 128, 256, 512]Next, you can execute it with: python run.py -m hparams_search=mnist_optuna
Using this approach doesn't require you to add any boilerplate into your pipeline, everything is defined in a single config file.
You can use different optimization frameworks integrated with Hydra, like Optuna, Ax or Nevergrad.
The optimization_results.yaml will be available under logs/multirun folder.
This approach doesn't support advanced technics like prunning - for more sophisticated search, you probably shouldn't use hydra multirun feature and instead write your own optimization pipeline.
The following code is an example of loading model from checkpoint and running predictions.
Show example
from PIL import Image
from torchvision import transforms
from src.models.mnist_module import MNISTLitModule
def predict():
"""Example of inference with trained model.
It loads trained image classification model from checkpoint.
Then it loads example image and predicts its label.
"""
# ckpt can be also a URL!
CKPT_PATH = "last.ckpt"
# load model from checkpoint
# model __init__ parameters will be loaded from ckpt automatically
# you can also pass some parameter explicitly to override it
trained_model = MNISTLitModule.load_from_checkpoint(checkpoint_path=CKPT_PATH)
# print model hyperparameters
print(trained_model.hparams)
# switch to evaluation mode
trained_model.eval()
trained_model.freeze()
# load data
img = Image.open("data/example_img.png").convert("L") # convert to black and white
# img = Image.open("data/example_img.png").convert("RGB") # convert to RGB
# preprocess
mnist_transforms = transforms.Compose(
[
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Resize((28, 28)),
transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,)),
]
)
img = mnist_transforms(img)
img = img.reshape((1, *img.size())) # reshape to form batch of size 1
# inference
output = trained_model(img)
print(output)
if __name__ == "__main__":
predict()Template comes with example tests implemented with pytest library.
To execute them simply run:
# run all tests
pytest
# run tests from specific file
pytest tests/shell/test_basic_commands.py
# run all tests except the ones marked as slow
pytest -k "not slow"To speed up the development, you can once in a while execute tests that run a couple of quick experiments, like training 1 epoch on 25% of data, executing single train/val/test step, etc. Those kind of tests don't check for any specific output - they exist to simply verify that executing some bash commands doesn't end up in throwing exceptions. You can find them implemented in tests/shell folder.
You can easily modify the commands in the scripts for your use case. If 1 epoch is too much for your model, then make it run for a couple of batches instead (by using the right trainer flags).
Template contains example callbacks enabling better Weights&Biases integration, which you can use as a reference for writing your own callbacks (see wandb_callbacks.py).
To support reproducibility:
- WatchModel
- UploadCodeAsArtifact
- UploadCheckpointsAsArtifact
To provide examples of logging custom visualisations with callbacks only:
- LogConfusionMatrix
- LogF1PrecRecHeatmap
- LogImagePredictions
To try all of the callbacks at once, use:
python run.py logger=wandb callbacks=wandbTo see the result of all the callbacks attached, take a look at this experiment dashboard.
Lightning supports multiple ways of doing distributed training.
The most common one is DDP, which spawns separate process for each GPU and averages gradients between them. To learn about other approaches read lightning docs.
You can run DDP on mnist example with 4 GPUs like this:
python run.py trainer.gpus=4 +trainer.strategy=ddpFirst you will need to install Nvidia Container Toolkit to enable GPU support.
The template Dockerfile is provided on branch dockerfiles. Copy it to the template root folder.
To build the container use:
docker build -t <project_name> .To mount the project to the container use:
docker run -v $(pwd):/workspace/project --gpus all -it --rm <project_name>What provides reproducibility:
- Hydra manages your configs
- Hydra manages your logging paths and makes every executed run store its hyperparameters and config overrides in a separate file in logs
- Single seed for random number generators in pytorch, numpy and python.random
- LightningDataModule allows you to encapsulate data split, transformations and default parameters in a single, clean abstraction
- LightningModule separates your research code from engineering code in a clean way
- Experiment tracking frameworks take care of logging metrics and hparams, some can also store results and artifacts in cloud
- Pytorch Lightning takes care of creating training checkpoints
- Example callbacks for wandb show how you can save and upload a snapshot of codebase every time the run is executed, as well as upload ckpts and track model gradients
You can load the config of previous run using:
python run.py --config-path /logs/runs/.../.hydra/ --config-name config.yamlThe config.yaml from .hydra folder contains all overriden parameters and sections. This approach however is not officially supported by Hydra and doesn't override the hydra/ part of the config, meaning logging paths will revert to default!
- Currently, template doesn't support k-fold cross validation, but it's possible to achieve it with Lightning Loop interface. See the official example. Implementing it requires rewriting the training pipeline.
- Pytorch Lightning might not be the best choice for scalable reinforcement learning, it's probably better to use something like Ray.
- Currently hyperparameter search with Hydra Optuna Plugin doesn't support prunning.
- Hydra changes working directory to new logging folder for every executed run, which might not be compatible with the way some libraries work.
Accessing datamodule attributes in model
-
The simplest way is to pass datamodule attribute directly to model on initialization:
# ./src/train.py datamodule = hydra.utils.instantiate(config.datamodule) model = hydra.utils.instantiate(config.model, some_param=datamodule.some_param)
This is not a very robust solution, since it assumes all your datamodules have
some_paramattribute available (otherwise the run will crash). -
If you only want to access datamodule config, you can simply pass it as an init parameter:
# ./src/train.py model = hydra.utils.instantiate(config.model, dm_conf=config.datamodule, _recursive_=False)
Now you can access any datamodule config part like this:
# ./src/models/my_model.py class MyLitModel(LightningModule): def __init__(self, dm_conf, param1, param2): super().__init__() batch_size = dm_conf.batch_size
-
If you need to access the datamodule object attributes, a little hacky solution is to add Omegaconf resolver to your datamodule:
# ./src/datamodules/my_datamodule.py from omegaconf import OmegaConf class MyDataModule(LightningDataModule): def __init__(self, param1, param2): super().__init__() self.param1 = param1 resolver_name = "datamodule" OmegaConf.register_new_resolver( resolver_name, lambda name: getattr(self, name), use_cache=False )
This way you can reference any datamodule attribute from your config like this:
# this will return attribute 'param1' from datamodule object param1: ${datamodule: param1}
When later accessing this field, say in your lightning model, it will get automatically resolved based on all resolvers that are registered. Remember not to access this field before datamodule is initialized or it will crash. You also need to set
resolve=Falseinprint_config()in run.py or it will throw errors:# ./src/run.py utils.print_config(config, resolve=False)
Automatic activation of virtual environment and tab completion when entering folder
-
Create a new file called
.autoenv(this name is excluded from version control in.gitignore).
You can use it to automatically execute shell commands when entering folder. Add some commands to your.autoenvfile, like in the example below:# activate conda environment conda activate myenv # activate hydra tab completion for bash eval "$(python run.py -sc install=bash)" # enable aliases for debugging alias debug='python run.py mode=debug' alias debug2='python run.py mode=debug trainer.fast_dev_run=false trainer.max_epochs=1 trainer.gpus=0' alias debug3='python run.py mode=debug trainer.fast_dev_run=false trainer.max_epochs=1 trainer.gpus=1' alias debug_wandb='python run.py mode=debug trainer.fast_dev_run=false trainer.max_epochs=1 trainer.gpus=1 logger=wandb logger.wandb.project=tests'
(these commands will be executed whenever you're openning or switching terminal to folder containing
.autoenvfile) -
To setup this automation for bash, execute the following line (it will append your
.bashrcfile):echo "autoenv() { if [ -x .autoenv ]; then source .autoenv ; echo '.autoenv executed' ; fi } ; cd() { builtin cd \"\$@\" ; autoenv ; } ; autoenv" >> ~/.bashrc
-
Lastly add execution previliges to your
.autoenvfile:chmod +x .autoenv(for safety, only
.autoenvwith previligies will be executed)
Explanation
The mentioned line appends your .bashrc file with 2 commands:

Use Miniconda for GPU environments
Use miniconda for your python environments (it's usually unnecessary to install full anaconda environment, miniconda should be enough). It makes it easier to install some dependencies, like cudatoolkit for GPU support. It also allows you to acccess your environments globally.
Example installation:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.shCreate new conda environment:
conda create -n myenv python=3.8
conda activate myenvUse automatic code formatting
Use pre-commit hooks to standardize code formatting of your project and save mental energy.
Simply install pre-commit package with:
pip install pre-commitNext, install hooks from .pre-commit-config.yaml:
pre-commit installAfter that your code will be automatically reformatted on every new commit.
Currently template contains configurations of black (python code formatting), isort (python import sorting), flake8 (python code analysis) and prettier (yaml formating).
To reformat all files in the project use command:
pre-commit run -aSet private environment variables in .env file
System specific variables (e.g. absolute paths to datasets) should not be under version control or it will result in conflict between different users. Your private keys also shouldn't be versioned since you don't want them to be leaked.
Template contains .env.example file, which serves as an example. Create a new file called .env (this name is excluded from version control in .gitignore).
You should use it for storing environment variables like this:
MY_VAR=/home/user/my_system_path
All variables from .env are loaded in run.py automatically.
Hydra allows you to reference any env variable in .yaml configs like this:
path_to_data: ${oc.env:MY_VAR}Name metrics using '/' character
Depending on which logger you're using, it's often useful to define metric name with / character:
self.log("train/loss", loss)This way loggers will treat your metrics as belonging to different sections, which helps to get them organised in UI.
Use torchmetrics
Use official torchmetrics library to ensure proper calculation of metrics. This is especially important for multi-GPU training!
For example, instead of calculating accuracy by yourself, you should use the provided Accuracy class like this:
from torchmetrics.classification.accuracy import Accuracy
class LitModel(LightningModule):
def __init__(self)
self.train_acc = Accuracy()
self.val_acc = Accuracy()
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
...
acc = self.train_acc(predictions, targets)
self.log("train/acc", acc)
...
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
...
acc = self.val_acc(predictions, targets)
self.log("val/acc", acc)
...Make sure to use different metric instance for each step to ensure proper value reduction over all GPU processes.
Torchmetrics provides metrics for most use cases, like F1 score or confusion matrix. Read documentation for more.
Follow PyTorch Lightning style guide
The style guide is available here.
-
Be explicit in your init. Try to define all the relevant defaults so that the user doesn’t have to guess. Provide type hints. This way your module is reusable across projects!
class LitModel(LightningModule): def __init__(self, layer_size: int = 256, lr: float = 0.001):
-
Preserve the recommended method order.
class LitModel(LightningModule): def __init__(): ... def forward(): ... def training_step(): ... def training_step_end(): ... def training_epoch_end(): ... def validation_step(): ... def validation_step_end(): ... def validation_epoch_end(): ... def test_step(): ... def test_step_end(): ... def test_epoch_end(): ... def configure_optimizers(): ... def any_extra_hook(): ...
Version control your data and models with DVC
Use DVC to version control big files, like your data or trained ML models.
To initialize the dvc repository:
dvc initTo start tracking a file or directory, use dvc add:
dvc add data/MNISTDVC stores information about the added file (or a directory) in a special .dvc file named data/MNIST.dvc, a small text file with a human-readable format. This file can be easily versioned like source code with Git, as a placeholder for the original data:
git add data/MNIST.dvc data/.gitignore
git commit -m "Add raw data"Support installing project as a package
It allows other people to easily use your modules in their own projects.
Change name of the src folder to your project name and add setup.py file:
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
setup(
name="src", # change "src" folder name to your project name
version="0.0.0",
description="Describe Your Cool Project",
author="...",
author_email="...",
url="https://github.com/ashleve/lightning-hydra-template", # replace with your own github project link
install_requires=[
"pytorch>=1.10.0",
"pytorch-lightning>=1.4.0",
"hydra-core>=1.1.0",
],
packages=find_packages(),
)Now your project can be installed from local files:
pip install -e .Or directly from git repository:
pip install git+git://github.com/YourGithubName/your-repo-name.git --upgradeSo any file can be easily imported into any other file like so:
from project_name.models.mnist_module import MNISTLitModule
from project_name.datamodules.mnist_datamodule import MNISTDataModuleInspirations
This template was inspired by: PyTorchLightning/deep-learninig-project-template, drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science, tchaton/lightning-hydra-seed, Erlemar/pytorch_tempest, lucmos/nn-template.
