clip_gradients(optimizer: torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, gradient_clip_val: Optional[Union[int, float]] = None, gradient_clip_algorithm: Optional[str] = None) None

Handles gradient clipping internally.

Note

  • Do not override this method. If you want to customize gradient clipping, consider using configure_gradient_clipping() method.

  • For manual optimization (self.automatic_optimization = False), if you want to use gradient clipping, consider calling self.clip_gradients(opt, gradient_clip_val=0.5, gradient_clip_algorithm="norm") manually in the training step.

Parameters
  • optimizer (torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer) – Current optimizer being used.

  • gradient_clip_val (Optional[Union[int, float]]) – The value at which to clip gradients.

  • gradient_clip_algorithm (Optional[str]) – The gradient clipping algorithm to use. Pass gradient_clip_algorithm="value" to clip by value, and gradient_clip_algorithm="norm" to clip by norm.

Return type

None

configure_callbacks() Union[Sequence[pytorch_lightning.callbacks.callback.Callback], pytorch_lightning.callbacks.callback.Callback]

Configure model-specific callbacks. When the model gets attached, e.g., when .fit() or .test() gets called, the list or a callback returned here will be merged with the list of callbacks passed to the Trainer’s callbacks argument. If a callback returned here has the same type as one or several callbacks already present in the Trainer’s callbacks list, it will take priority and replace them. In addition, Lightning will make sure ModelCheckpoint callbacks run last.

Returns

A callback or a list of callbacks which will extend the list of callbacks in the Trainer.

Return type

Union[Sequence[pytorch_lightning.callbacks.callback.Callback], pytorch_lightning.callbacks.callback.Callback]

Example:

def configure_callbacks(self):
    early_stop = EarlyStopping(monitor="val_acc", mode="max")
    checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint(monitor="val_loss")
    return [early_stop, checkpoint]
configure_gradient_clipping(optimizer: torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, optimizer_idx: int, gradient_clip_val: Optional[Union[int, float]] = None, gradient_clip_algorithm: Optional[str] = None) None

Perform gradient clipping for the optimizer parameters. Called before optimizer_step().

  • optimizer_idx (int) – Index of the current optimizer being used.

  • gradient_clip_val (Optional[Union[int, float]]) – The value at which to clip gradients. By default value passed in Trainer will be available here.

  • gradient_clip_algorithm (Optional[str]) – The gradient clipping algorithm to use. By default value passed in Trainer will be available here.

Return type

None

Example:

# Perform gradient clipping on gradients associated with discriminator (optimizer_idx=1) in GAN
def configure_gradient_clipping(self, optimizer, optimizer_idx, gradient_clip_val, gradient_clip_algorithm):
    if optimizer_idx == 1:
        # Lightning will handle the gradient clipping
        self.clip_gradients(
            optimizer,
            gradient_clip_val=gradient_clip_val,
            gradient_clip_algorithm=gradient_clip_algorithm
        )
    else:
        # implement your own custom logic to clip gradients for generator (optimizer_idx=0)
configure_optimizers() torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer[source]

Optimizer configuration.

Return type

torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer

configure_sharded_model() None

Hook to create modules in a distributed aware context. This is useful for when using sharded plugins, where we’d like to shard the model instantly, which is useful for extremely large models which can save memory and initialization time.

This hook is called during each of fit/val/test/predict stages in the same process, so ensure that implementation of this hook is idempotent.

Return type

None

cpu() typing_extensions.Self

See torch.nn.Module.cpu().

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

cuda(device: Optional[Union[torch.device, int]] = None) typing_extensions.Self

Moves all model parameters and buffers to the GPU. This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on GPU while being optimized.

Parameters

device (Optional[Union[torch.device, int]]) – If specified, all parameters will be copied to that device. If None, the current CUDA device index will be used.

Returns

self

Return type

Module

double() typing_extensions.Self

See torch.nn.Module.double().

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

eval() torch.nn.modules.module.T

Sets the module in evaluation mode.

This has any effect only on certain modules. See documentations of particular modules for details of their behaviors in training/evaluation mode, if they are affected, e.g. Dropout, BatchNorm, etc.

This is equivalent with self.train(False).

See Locally disabling gradient computation for a comparison between .eval() and several similar mechanisms that may be confused with it.

Returns

self

Return type

Module

Parameters

self (torch.nn.modules.module.T) –

extra_repr() str

Set the extra representation of the module

To print customized extra information, you should re-implement this method in your own modules. Both single-line and multi-line strings are acceptable.

Return type

str

float() typing_extensions.Self

See torch.nn.Module.float().

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

forward(x: etna.models.nn.rnn.RNNBatch, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Forward pass.

Parameters

x (etna.models.nn.rnn.RNNBatch) – batch of data

Freeze all params for inference.

Example:

model = MyLightningModule(...)
model.freeze()
Return type

None

classmethod from_compiled(model: torch._dynamo.OptimizedModule) pl.LightningModule

Returns an instance LightningModule from the output of torch.compile.

The torch.compile function returns a torch._dynamo.OptimizedModule, which wraps the LightningModule passed in as an argument, but doesn’t inherit from it. This means that the output of torch.compile behaves like a LightningModule but it doesn’t inherit from it (i.e. isinstance will fail).

Use this method to obtain a LightningModule that still runs with all the optimizations from torch.compile.

Parameters

model (torch._dynamo.OptimizedModule) –

Return type

pl.LightningModule

get_buffer(target: str) torch.Tensor

Returns the buffer given by target if it exists, otherwise throws an error.

See the docstring for get_submodule for a more detailed explanation of this method’s functionality as well as how to correctly specify target.

Parameters

target (str) – The fully-qualified string name of the buffer to look for. (See get_submodule for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)

Returns

The buffer referenced by target

Return type

torch.Tensor

Raises

AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not a buffer

get_extra_state() Any

Returns any extra state to include in the module’s state_dict. Implement this and a corresponding set_extra_state() for your module if you need to store extra state. This function is called when building the module’s state_dict().

Note that extra state should be pickleable to ensure working serialization of the state_dict. We only provide provide backwards compatibility guarantees for serializing Tensors; other objects may break backwards compatibility if their serialized pickled form changes.

Returns

Any extra state to store in the module’s state_dict

Return type

object

get_parameter(target: str) torch.nn.parameter.Parameter

Returns the parameter given by target if it exists, otherwise throws an error.

See the docstring for get_submodule for a more detailed explanation of this method’s functionality as well as how to correctly specify target.

Parameters

target (str) – The fully-qualified string name of the Parameter to look for. (See get_submodule for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)

Returns

The Parameter referenced by target

Return type

torch.nn.Parameter

Raises

AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not an nn.Parameter

get_submodule(target: str) torch.nn.modules.module.Module

Returns the submodule given by target if it exists, otherwise throws an error.

For example, let’s say you have an nn.Module A that looks like this:

(The diagram shows an nn.Module A. A has a nested submodule net_b, which itself has two submodules net_c and linear. net_c then has a submodule conv.)

To check whether or not we have the linear submodule, we would call get_submodule("net_b.linear"). To check whether we have the conv submodule, we would call get_submodule("net_b.net_c.conv").

The runtime of get_submodule is bounded by the degree of module nesting in target. A query against named_modules achieves the same result, but it is O(N) in the number of transitive modules. So, for a simple check to see if some submodule exists, get_submodule should always be used.

Parameters

target (str) – The fully-qualified string name of the submodule to look for. (See above example for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)

Returns

The submodule referenced by target

Return type

torch.nn.Module

Raises

AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not an nn.Module

half() typing_extensions.Self

See torch.nn.Module.half().

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

classmethod load_from_checkpoint(checkpoint_path: Union[str, pathlib.Path, IO], map_location: Optional[Union[torch.device, str, int, Callable[[Union[torch.device, str, int]], Union[torch.device, str, int]], Dict[Union[torch.device, str, int], Union[torch.device, str, int]]]] = None, hparams_file: Optional[Union[str, pathlib.Path]] = None, strict: bool = True, **kwargs: Any) typing_extensions.Self

Primary way of loading a model from a checkpoint. When Lightning saves a checkpoint it stores the arguments passed to __init__ in the checkpoint under "hyper_parameters".

Any arguments specified through **kwargs will override args stored in "hyper_parameters".

Parameters
  • checkpoint_path (Union[str, pathlib.Path, IO]) – Path to checkpoint. This can also be a URL, or file-like object

  • map_location (Optional[Union[torch.device, str, int, Callable[[Union[torch.device, str, int]], Union[torch.device, str, int]], Dict[Union[torch.device, str, int], Union[torch.device, str, int]]]]) – If your checkpoint saved a GPU model and you now load on CPUs or a different number of GPUs, use this to map to the new setup. The behaviour is the same as in torch.load().

  • hparams_file (Optional[Union[str, pathlib.Path]]) –

    Optional path to a .yaml or .csv file with hierarchical structure as in this example:

    drop_prob: 0.2
    dataloader:
        batch_size: 32
    

    You most likely won’t need this since Lightning will always save the hyperparameters to the checkpoint. However, if your checkpoint weights don’t have the hyperparameters saved, use this method to pass in a .yaml file with the hparams you’d like to use. These will be converted into a dict and passed into your LightningModule for use.

    If your model’s hparams argument is Namespace and .yaml file has hierarchical structure, you need to refactor your model to treat hparams as dict.

  • strict (bool) – Whether to strictly enforce that the keys in checkpoint_path match the keys returned by this module’s state dict.

  • **kwargs – Any extra keyword args needed to init the model. Can also be used to override saved hyperparameter values.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

LightningModule instance with loaded weights and hyperparameters (if available).

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

Note

load_from_checkpoint is a class method. You should use your LightningModule class to call it instead of the LightningModule instance.

Example:

# load weights without mapping ...
model = MyLightningModule.load_from_checkpoint('path/to/checkpoint.ckpt')

# or load weights mapping all weights from GPU 1 to GPU 0 ...
map_location = {'cuda:1':'cuda:0'}
model = MyLightningModule.load_from_checkpoint(
    'path/to/checkpoint.ckpt',
    map_location=map_location
)

# or load weights and hyperparameters from separate files.
model = MyLightningModule.load_from_checkpoint(
    'path/to/checkpoint.ckpt',
    hparams_file='/path/to/hparams_file.yaml'
)

# override some of the params with new values
model = MyLightningModule.load_from_checkpoint(
    PATH,
    num_layers=128,
    pretrained_ckpt_path=NEW_PATH,
)

# predict
pretrained_model.eval()
pretrained_model.freeze()
y_hat = pretrained_model(x)
load_state_dict(state_dict: OrderedDict[str, Tensor], strict: bool = True)

Copies parameters and buffers from state_dict into this module and its descendants. If strict is True, then the keys of state_dict must exactly match the keys returned by this module’s state_dict() function.

Parameters
  • state_dict (dict) – a dict containing parameters and persistent buffers.

  • strict (bool, optional) – whether to strictly enforce that the keys in state_dict match the keys returned by this module’s state_dict() function. Default: True

Returns

  • missing_keys is a list of str containing the missing keys

  • unexpected_keys is a list of str containing the unexpected keys

Return type

NamedTuple with missing_keys and unexpected_keys fields

Note

If a parameter or buffer is registered as None and its corresponding key exists in state_dict, load_state_dict() will raise a RuntimeError.

log(name: str, value: Union[torchmetrics.metric.Metric, torch.Tensor, int, float, Mapping[str, Union[torchmetrics.metric.Metric, torch.Tensor, int, float]]], prog_bar: bool = False, logger: Optional[bool] = None, on_step: Optional[bool] = None, on_epoch: Optional[bool] = None, reduce_fx: Union[str, Callable] = 'mean', enable_graph: bool = False, sync_dist: bool = False, sync_dist_group: Optional[Any] = None, add_dataloader_idx: bool = True, batch_size: Optional[int] = None, metric_attribute: Optional[str] = None, rank_zero_only: bool = False) None

Log a key, value pair.

Example:

The default behavior per hook is documented here: Automatic Logging.

Parameters
  • name (str) – key to log.

  • value (Union[torchmetrics.metric.Metric, torch.Tensor, int, float, Mapping[str, Union[torchmetrics.metric.Metric, torch.Tensor, int, float]]]) – value to log. Can be a float, Tensor, Metric, or a dictionary of the former.

  • prog_bar (bool) – if True logs to the progress bar.

  • logger (Optional[bool]) – if True logs to the logger.

  • on_step (Optional[bool]) – if True logs at this step. The default value is determined by the hook. See Automatic Logging for details.

  • on_epoch (Optional[bool]) – if True logs epoch accumulated metrics. The default value is determined by the hook. See Automatic Logging for details.

  • sync_dist (bool) – if True, reduces the metric across devices. Use with care as this may lead to a significant communication overhead.

  • sync_dist_group (Optional[Any]) – the DDP group to sync across.

  • add_dataloader_idx (bool) – if True, appends the index of the current dataloader to the name (when using multiple dataloaders). If False, user needs to give unique names for each dataloader to not mix the values.

  • batch_size (Optional[int]) – Current batch_size. This will be directly inferred from the loaded batch, but for some data structures you might need to explicitly provide it.

  • metric_attribute (Optional[str]) – To restore the metric state, Lightning requires the reference of the torchmetrics.Metric in your model. This is found automatically if it is a model attribute.

  • rank_zero_only (bool) – Whether the value will be logged only on rank 0. This will prevent synchronization which would produce a deadlock as not all processes would perform this log call.

Return type

None

Returns an iterator over all modules in the network, yielding both the name of the module as well as the module itself.

Parameters
  • memo (Optional[Set[torch.nn.modules.module.Module]]) – a memo to store the set of modules already added to the result

>>> l = nn.Linear(2, 2)
>>> net = nn.Sequential(l, l)
>>> for idx, m in enumerate(net.named_modules()):
        print(idx, '->', m)

0 -> ('', Sequential(
  (0): Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)

optimizer_step(epoch: int, batch_idx: int, optimizer: Union[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer], optimizer_idx: int = 0, optimizer_closure: Optional[Callable[[], Any]] = None, on_tpu: bool = False, using_lbfgs: bool = False) None

Override this method to adjust the default way the Trainer calls each optimizer.

By default, Lightning calls step() and zero_grad() as shown in the example once per optimizer. This method (and zero_grad()) won’t be called during the accumulation phase when Trainer(accumulate_grad_batches != 1). Overriding this hook has no benefit with manual optimization.

Parameters
  • epoch (int) – Current epoch

  • batch_idx (int) – Index of current batch

  • optimizer (Union[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer]) – A PyTorch optimizer

  • optimizer_idx (int) – If you used multiple optimizers, this indexes into that list.

  • optimizer_closure (Optional[Callable[[], Any]]) – The optimizer closure. This closure must be executed as it includes the calls to training_step(), optimizer.zero_grad(), and backward().

  • on_tpu (bool) – True if TPU backward is required

  • using_lbfgs (bool) – True if the matching optimizer is torch.optim.LBFGS

Return type

None

Examples:

# DEFAULT
def optimizer_step(self, epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_idx,
                   optimizer_closure, on_tpu, using_lbfgs):
    optimizer.step(closure=optimizer_closure)

# Alternating schedule for optimizer steps (i.e.: GANs)
def optimizer_step(self, epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_idx,
                   optimizer_closure, on_tpu, using_lbfgs):
    # update generator opt every step
    if optimizer_idx == 0:
        optimizer.step(closure=optimizer_closure)

    # update discriminator opt every 2 steps
    if optimizer_idx == 1:
        if (batch_idx + 1) % 2 == 0 :
            optimizer.step(closure=optimizer_closure)
        else:
            # call the closure by itself to run `training_step` + `backward` without an optimizer step
            optimizer_closure()

    # ...
    # add as many optimizers as you want

Here’s another example showing how to use this for more advanced things such as learning rate warm-up:

# learning rate warm-up
def optimizer_step(
    self,
    epoch,
    batch_idx,
    optimizer,
    optimizer_idx,
    optimizer_closure,
    on_tpu,
    using_lbfgs,
):
    # update params
    optimizer.step(closure=optimizer_closure)

    # manually warm up lr without a scheduler
    if self.trainer.global_step < 500:
        lr_scale = min(1.0, float(self.trainer.global_step + 1) / 500.0)
        for pg in optimizer.param_groups:
            pg["lr"] = lr_scale * self.learning_rate
optimizer_zero_grad(epoch: int, batch_idx: int, optimizer: torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, optimizer_idx: int) None

Override this method to change the default behaviour of optimizer.zero_grad().

Parameters
  • epoch (int) – Current epoch

  • batch_idx (int) – Index of current batch

  • optimizer (torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer) – A PyTorch optimizer

  • optimizer_idx (int) – If you used multiple optimizers this indexes into that list.

Return type

None

Examples:

# DEFAULT
def optimizer_zero_grad(self, epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_idx):
    optimizer.zero_grad()

# Set gradients to `None` instead of zero to improve performance (not required on `torch>=2.0.0`).
def optimizer_zero_grad(self, epoch, batch_idx, optimizer, optimizer_idx):
    optimizer.zero_grad(set_to_none=True)

See torch.optim.Optimizer.zero_grad() for the explanation of the above example.

optimizers(use_pl_optimizer: bool = True) Union[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer, lightning_fabric.wrappers._FabricOptimizer, List[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer], List[pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer], List[lightning_fabric.wrappers._FabricOptimizer]]

Returns the optimizer(s) that are being used during training. Useful for manual optimization.

Parameters

use_pl_optimizer (bool) – If True, will wrap the optimizer(s) in a LightningOptimizer for automatic handling of precision and profiling.

Returns

A single optimizer, or a list of optimizers in case multiple ones are present.

Return type

Union[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer, lightning_fabric.wrappers._FabricOptimizer, List[torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer], List[pytorch_lightning.core.optimizer.LightningOptimizer], List[lightning_fabric.wrappers._FabricOptimizer]]

parameters(recurse: bool = True) Iterator[torch.nn.parameter.Parameter]

Returns an iterator over module parameters.

This is typically passed to an optimizer.

Parameters

recurse (bool) – if True, then yields parameters of this module and all submodules. Otherwise, yields only parameters that are direct members of this module.

Yields

Parameter – module parameter

Return type

Iterator[torch.nn.parameter.Parameter]

Example:

>>> for param in model.parameters():
>>>     print(type(param), param.size())
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L,)
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L, 1L, 5L, 5L)
predict_dataloader() Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Implement one or multiple PyTorch DataLoaders for prediction.

It’s recommended that all data downloads and preparation happen in prepare_data().

Note

Lightning adds the correct sampler for distributed and arbitrary hardware There is no need to set it yourself.

Returns

A torch.utils.data.DataLoader or a sequence of them specifying prediction samples.

Return type

Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Note

In the case where you return multiple prediction dataloaders, the predict_step() will have an argument dataloader_idx which matches the order here.

predict_step(batch: Any, batch_idx: int, dataloader_idx: int = 0) Any

Step function called during predict(). By default, it calls forward(). Override to add any processing logic.

The predict_step() is used to scale inference on multi-devices.

To prevent an OOM error, it is possible to use BasePredictionWriter callback to write the predictions to disk or database after each batch or on epoch end.

The BasePredictionWriter should be used while using a spawn based accelerator. This happens for Trainer(strategy="ddp_spawn") or training on 8 TPU cores with Trainer(accelerator="tpu", devices=8) as predictions won’t be returned.

Example

class MyModel(LightningModule):

    def predict_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
        return self(batch)

dm = ...
model = MyModel()
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=2)
predictions = trainer.predict(model, dm)
Parameters
  • batch (Any) – Current batch.

  • batch_idx (int) – Index of current batch.

  • dataloader_idx (int) – Index of the current dataloader.

Returns

Predicted output

Return type

Any

prepare_data() None

Use this to download and prepare data. Downloading and saving data with multiple processes (distributed settings) will result in corrupted data. Lightning ensures this method is called only within a single process, so you can safely add your downloading logic within.

Warning

DO NOT set state to the model (use setup instead) since this is NOT called on every device

Example:

def prepare_data(self):
    # good
    download_data()
    tokenize()
    etc()

    # bad
    self.split = data_split
    self.some_state = some_other_state()

In a distributed environment, prepare_data can be called in two ways (using prepare_data_per_node)

  1. Once per node. This is the default and is only called on LOCAL_RANK=0.

  2. Once in total. Only called on GLOBAL_RANK=0.

Example:

# DEFAULT
# called once per node on LOCAL_RANK=0 of that node
class LitDataModule(LightningDataModule):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.prepare_data_per_node = True


# call on GLOBAL_RANK=0 (great for shared file systems)
class LitDataModule(LightningDataModule):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.prepare_data_per_node = False

This is called before requesting the dataloaders:

model.prepare_data()
initialize_distributed()
model.setup(stage)
model.train_dataloader()
model.val_dataloader()
model.test_dataloader()
model.predict_dataloader()
Return type

None

print(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) None

Prints only from process 0. Use this in any distributed mode to log only once.

Parameters
  • *args – The thing to print. The same as for Python’s built-in print function.

  • **kwargs – The same as for Python’s built-in print function.

  • args (Any) –

  • kwargs (Any) –

Return type

None

Example:

def forward(self, x):
    self.print(x, 'in forward')
register_backward_hook(hook: Callable[[torch.nn.modules.module.Module, Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor], Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor]], Union[None, torch.Tensor]]) torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Registers a backward hook on the module.

This function is deprecated in favor of register_full_backward_hook() and the behavior of this function will change in future versions.

Returns

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Parameters

hook (Callable[[torch.nn.modules.module.Module, Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor], Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor]], Union[None, torch.Tensor]]) –

register_buffer(name: str, tensor: Optional[torch.Tensor], persistent: bool = True) None

Adds a buffer to the module.

This is typically used to register a buffer that should not to be considered a model parameter. For example, BatchNorm’s running_mean is not a parameter, but is part of the module’s state. Buffers, by default, are persistent and will be saved alongside parameters. This behavior can be changed by setting persistent to False. The only difference between a persistent buffer and a non-persistent buffer is that the latter will not be a part of this module’s state_dict.

Buffers can be accessed as attributes using given names.

Parameters
  • name (string) – name of the buffer. The buffer can be accessed from this module using the given name

  • tensor (Tensor or None) – buffer to be registered. If None, then operations that run on buffers, such as cuda, are ignored. If None, the buffer is not included in the module’s state_dict.

  • persistent (bool) – whether the buffer is part of this module’s state_dict.

Return type

None

Example:

>>> self.register_buffer('running_mean', torch.zeros(num_features))
register_forward_hook(hook: Callable[[...], None]) torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Registers a forward hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time after forward() has computed an output. It should have the following signature:

hook(module, input, output) -> None or modified output

The input contains only the positional arguments given to the module. Keyword arguments won’t be passed to the hooks and only to the forward. The hook can modify the output. It can modify the input inplace but it will not have effect on forward since this is called after forward() is called.

Returns

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Parameters

hook (Callable[[...], None]) –

register_forward_pre_hook(hook: Callable[[...], None]) torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Registers a forward pre-hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time before forward() is invoked. It should have the following signature:

hook(module, input) -> None or modified input

The input contains only the positional arguments given to the module. Keyword arguments won’t be passed to the hooks and only to the forward. The hook can modify the input. User can either return a tuple or a single modified value in the hook. We will wrap the value into a tuple if a single value is returned(unless that value is already a tuple).

Returns

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Parameters

hook (Callable[[...], None]) –

register_full_backward_hook(hook: Callable[[torch.nn.modules.module.Module, Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor], Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor]], Union[None, torch.Tensor]]) torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Registers a backward hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time the gradients with respect to module inputs are computed. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, grad_input, grad_output) -> tuple(Tensor) or None

The grad_input and grad_output are tuples that contain the gradients with respect to the inputs and outputs respectively. The hook should not modify its arguments, but it can optionally return a new gradient with respect to the input that will be used in place of grad_input in subsequent computations. grad_input will only correspond to the inputs given as positional arguments and all kwarg arguments are ignored. Entries in grad_input and grad_output will be None for all non-Tensor arguments.

For technical reasons, when this hook is applied to a Module, its forward function will receive a view of each Tensor passed to the Module. Similarly the caller will receive a view of each Tensor returned by the Module’s forward function.

Warning

Modifying inputs or outputs inplace is not allowed when using backward hooks and will raise an error.

Returns

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

Parameters

hook (Callable[[torch.nn.modules.module.Module, Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor], Union[Tuple[torch.Tensor, ...], torch.Tensor]], Union[None, torch.Tensor]]) –

  • param (Parameter or None) – parameter to be added to the module. If None, then operations that run on parameters, such as cuda, are ignored. If None, the parameter is not included in the module’s state_dict.

Return type

None

requires_grad_(requires_grad: bool = True) torch.nn.modules.module.T

set_extra_state(state: Any)

This function is called from load_state_dict() to handle any extra state found within the state_dict. Implement this function and a corresponding get_extra_state() for your module if you need to store extra state within its state_dict.

Parameters

state (dict) – Extra state from the state_dict

setup(stage: str) None

Called at the beginning of fit (train + validate), validate, test, or predict. This is a good hook when you need to build models dynamically or adjust something about them. This hook is called on every process when using DDP.

Parameters

stage (str) – either 'fit', 'validate', 'test', or 'predict'

Return type

None

Example:

class LitModel(...):
    def __init__(self):
        self.l1 = None

    def prepare_data(self):
        download_data()
        tokenize()

        # don't do this
        self.something = else

    def setup(self, stage):
        data = load_data(...)
        self.l1 = nn.Linear(28, data.num_classes)
share_memory() torch.nn.modules.module.T

See torch.Tensor.share_memory_()

Parameters

self (torch.nn.modules.module.T) –

Return type

torch.nn.modules.module.T

state_dict(destination=None, prefix='', keep_vars=False)

Returns a dictionary containing a whole state of the module.

Both parameters and persistent buffers (e.g. running averages) are included. Keys are corresponding parameter and buffer names. Parameters and buffers set to None are not included.

Returns

a dictionary containing a whole state of the module

Return type

dict

Example:

>>> module.state_dict().keys()
['bias', 'weight']
step(batch: etna.models.nn.rnn.RNNBatch, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Step for loss computation for training or validation.

Parameters

batch (etna.models.nn.rnn.RNNBatch) – batch of data

Returns

loss, true_target, prediction_target

tbptt_split_batch(batch: Any, split_size: int) List[Any]

When using truncated backpropagation through time, each batch must be split along the time dimension. Lightning handles this by default, but for custom behavior override this function.

Parameters
  • batch (Any) – Current batch

  • split_size (int) – The size of the split

Returns

List of batch splits. Each split will be passed to training_step() to enable truncated back propagation through time. The default implementation splits root level Tensors and Sequences at dim=1 (i.e. time dim). It assumes that each time dim is the same length.

Return type

List[Any]

Examples:

def tbptt_split_batch(self, batch, split_size):
    splits = []
    for t in range(0, time_dims[0], split_size):
        batch_split = []
        for i, x in enumerate(batch):
            if isinstance(x, torch.Tensor):
                split_x = x[:, t:t + split_size]
            elif isinstance(x, collections.abc.Sequence):
                split_x = [None] * len(x)
                for batch_idx in range(len(x)):
                  split_x[batch_idx] = x[batch_idx][t:t + split_size]
            batch_split.append(split_x)
        splits.append(batch_split)
    return splits

Note

Called in the training loop after on_train_batch_start() if :paramref:`~pytorch_lightning.core.module.LightningModule.truncated_bptt_steps` > 0. Each returned batch split is passed separately to training_step().

teardown(stage: str) None

Called at the end of fit (train + validate), validate, test, or predict.

Parameters

stage (str) – either 'fit', 'validate', 'test', or 'predict'

Return type

None

test_dataloader() Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Implement one or multiple PyTorch DataLoaders for testing.

For data processing use the following pattern:

However, the above are only necessary for distributed processing.

Warning

do not assign state in prepare_data

Note

Lightning adds the correct sampler for distributed and arbitrary hardware. There is no need to set it yourself.

Returns

A torch.utils.data.DataLoader or a sequence of them specifying testing samples.

Return type

Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Example:

def test_dataloader(self):
    transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(),
                                    transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
    dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=False, transform=transform,
                    download=True)
    loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=dataset,
        batch_size=self.batch_size,
        shuffle=False
    )

    return loader

# can also return multiple dataloaders
def test_dataloader(self):
    return [loader_a, loader_b, ..., loader_n]

Note

If you don’t need a test dataset and a test_step(), you don’t need to implement this method.

Note

In the case where you return multiple test dataloaders, the test_step() will have an argument dataloader_idx which matches the order here.

test_epoch_end(outputs: Union[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]], List[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]]]) None

Called at the end of a test epoch with the output of all test steps.

# the pseudocode for these calls
test_outs = []
for test_batch in test_data:
    out = test_step(test_batch)
    test_outs.append(out)
test_epoch_end(test_outs)
Parameters

outputs (Union[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]], List[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]]]) – List of outputs you defined in test_step_end(), or if there are multiple dataloaders, a list containing a list of outputs for each dataloader

Returns

None

Return type

None

Note

If you didn’t define a test_step(), this won’t be called.

Examples

With a single dataloader:

def test_epoch_end(self, outputs):
    # do something with the outputs of all test batches
    all_test_preds = test_step_outputs.predictions

    some_result = calc_all_results(all_test_preds)
    self.log(some_result)

With multiple dataloaders, outputs will be a list of lists. The outer list contains one entry per dataloader, while the inner list contains the individual outputs of each test step for that dataloader.

def test_epoch_end(self, outputs):
    final_value = 0
    for dataloader_outputs in outputs:
        for test_step_out in dataloader_outputs:
            # do something
            final_value += test_step_out

    self.log("final_metric", final_value)
test_step(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

Operates on a single batch of data from the test set. In this step you’d normally generate examples or calculate anything of interest such as accuracy.

# the pseudocode for these calls
test_outs = []
for test_batch in test_data:
    out = test_step(test_batch)
    test_outs.append(out)
test_epoch_end(test_outs)
Parameters
  • batch – The output of your DataLoader.

  • batch_idx – The index of this batch.

  • dataloader_id – The index of the dataloader that produced this batch. (only if multiple test dataloaders used).

  • args (Any) –

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

Any of.

  • Any object or value

  • None - Testing will skip to the next batch

Return type

Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

# if you have one test dataloader:
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    ...


# if you have multiple test dataloaders:
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
    ...

Examples:

# CASE 1: A single test dataset
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    x, y = batch

    # implement your own
    out = self(x)
    loss = self.loss(out, y)

    # log 6 example images
    # or generated text... or whatever
    sample_imgs = x[:6]
    grid = torchvision.utils.make_grid(sample_imgs)
    self.logger.experiment.add_image('example_images', grid, 0)

    # calculate acc
    labels_hat = torch.argmax(out, dim=1)
    test_acc = torch.sum(y == labels_hat).item() / (len(y) * 1.0)

    # log the outputs!
    self.log_dict({'test_loss': loss, 'test_acc': test_acc})

If you pass in multiple test dataloaders, test_step() will have an additional argument. We recommend setting the default value of 0 so that you can quickly switch between single and multiple dataloaders.

# CASE 2: multiple test dataloaders
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx, dataloader_idx=0):
    # dataloader_idx tells you which dataset this is.
    ...

Note

If you don’t need to test you don’t need to implement this method.

Note

When the test_step() is called, the model has been put in eval mode and PyTorch gradients have been disabled. At the end of the test epoch, the model goes back to training mode and gradients are enabled.

test_step_end(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

Use this when testing with DP because test_step() will operate on only part of the batch. However, this is still optional and only needed for things like softmax or NCE loss.

Note

If you later switch to ddp or some other mode, this will still be called so that you don’t have to change your code.

# pseudocode
sub_batches = split_batches_for_dp(batch)
step_output = [test_step(sub_batch) for sub_batch in sub_batches]
test_step_end(step_output)
Parameters
  • step_output – What you return in test_step() for each batch part.

  • args (Any) –

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

None or anything

Return type

Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

# WITHOUT test_step_end
# if used in DP, this batch is 1/num_gpus large
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self(x)
    loss = self.softmax(out)
    self.log("test_loss", loss)


# --------------
# with test_step_end to do softmax over the full batch
def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self.encoder(x)
    return out


def test_step_end(self, output_results):
    # this out is now the full size of the batch
    all_test_step_outs = output_results.out
    loss = nce_loss(all_test_step_outs)
    self.log("test_loss", loss)

The dataloader you return will not be reloaded unless you set :paramref:`~pytorch_lightning.trainer.Trainer.reload_dataloaders_every_n_epochs` to a positive integer.

For data processing use the following pattern:

However, the above are only necessary for distributed processing.

Warning

do not assign state in prepare_data

Note

Lightning adds the correct sampler for distributed and arbitrary hardware. There is no need to set it yourself.

Example:

# single dataloader
def train_dataloader(self):
    transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(),
                                    transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
    dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=True, transform=transform,
                    download=True)
    loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=dataset,
        batch_size=self.batch_size,
        shuffle=True
    )
    return loader

# multiple dataloaders, return as list
def train_dataloader(self):
    mnist = MNIST(...)
    cifar = CIFAR(...)
    mnist_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=mnist, batch_size=self.batch_size, shuffle=True
    )
    cifar_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=cifar, batch_size=self.batch_size, shuffle=True
    )
    # each batch will be a list of tensors: [batch_mnist, batch_cifar]
    return [mnist_loader, cifar_loader]

# multiple dataloader, return as dict
def train_dataloader(self):
    mnist = MNIST(...)
    cifar = CIFAR(...)
    mnist_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=mnist, batch_size=self.batch_size, shuffle=True
    )
    cifar_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=cifar, batch_size=self.batch_size, shuffle=True
    )
    # each batch will be a dict of tensors: {'mnist': batch_mnist, 'cifar': batch_cifar}
    return {'mnist': mnist_loader, 'cifar': cifar_loader}
training_epoch_end(outputs: List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]) None

Called at the end of the training epoch with the outputs of all training steps. Use this in case you need to do something with all the outputs returned by training_step().

# the pseudocode for these calls
train_outs = []
for train_batch in train_data:
    out = training_step(train_batch)
    train_outs.append(out)
training_epoch_end(train_outs)
Parameters

outputs (List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]) – List of outputs you defined in training_step(). If there are multiple optimizers or when using truncated_bptt_steps > 0, the lists have the dimensions (n_batches, tbptt_steps, n_optimizers). Dimensions of length 1 are squeezed.

Returns

None

Return type

None

Note

If this method is not overridden, this won’t be called.

def training_epoch_end(self, training_step_outputs):
    # do something with all training_step outputs
    for out in training_step_outputs:
        ...
training_step(batch: dict, *args, **kwargs)

Training step.

Parameters

batch (dict) – batch of data

Returns

loss

training_step_end(step_output: Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]) Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]

Use this when training with dp because training_step() will operate on only part of the batch. However, this is still optional and only needed for things like softmax or NCE loss.

Note

If you later switch to ddp or some other mode, this will still be called so that you don’t have to change your code

# pseudocode
sub_batches = split_batches_for_dp(batch)
step_output = [training_step(sub_batch) for sub_batch in sub_batches]
training_step_end(step_output)
Parameters

step_output (Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]) – What you return in training_step for each batch part.

Returns

Anything

Return type

Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]

When using the DP strategy, only a portion of the batch is inside the training_step:

def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self(x)

    # softmax uses only a portion of the batch in the denominator
    loss = self.softmax(out)
    loss = nce_loss(loss)
    return loss

If you wish to do something with all the parts of the batch, then use this method to do it:

def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self.encoder(x)
    return {"pred": out}


def training_step_end(self, training_step_outputs):
    gpu_0_pred = training_step_outputs[0]["pred"]
    gpu_1_pred = training_step_outputs[1]["pred"]
    gpu_n_pred = training_step_outputs[n]["pred"]

    # this softmax now uses the full batch
    loss = nce_loss([gpu_0_pred, gpu_1_pred, gpu_n_pred])
    return loss

See the Multi GPU Training guide for more details.

transfer_batch_to_device(batch: Any, device: torch.device, dataloader_idx: int) Any

Override this hook if your DataLoader returns tensors wrapped in a custom data structure.

The data types listed below (and any arbitrary nesting of them) are supported out of the box:

  • torch.Tensor or anything that implements .to(…)

  • list

  • dict

  • tuple

For anything else, you need to define how the data is moved to the target device (CPU, GPU, TPU, …).

Note

This hook should only transfer the data and not modify it, nor should it move the data to any other device than the one passed in as argument (unless you know what you are doing). To check the current state of execution of this hook you can use self.trainer.training/testing/validating/predicting so that you can add different logic as per your requirement.

Note

This hook only runs on single GPU training and DDP (no data-parallel). Data-Parallel support will come in near future.

Parameters
  • batch (Any) – A batch of data that needs to be transferred to a new device.

  • device (torch.device) – The target device as defined in PyTorch.

  • dataloader_idx (int) – The index of the dataloader to which the batch belongs.

        batch.samples = batch.samples.to(device)
        batch.targets = batch.targets.to(device)
    elif dataloader_idx == 0:
        # skip device transfer for the first dataloader or anything you wish
        pass
    else:
        batch = super().transfer_batch_to_device(batch, device, dataloader_idx)

type(dst_type: Union[str, torch.dtype]) typing_extensions.Self

See torch.nn.Module.type().

Parameters

dst_type (Union[str, torch.dtype]) –

Return type

typing_extensions.Self

unfreeze() None

Unfreeze all parameters for training.

model = MyLightningModule(...)
model.unfreeze()
Return type

None

untoggle_optimizer(optimizer_idx: int) None

Resets the state of required gradients that were toggled with toggle_optimizer().

This is only called automatically when automatic optimization is enabled and multiple optimizers are used.

Parameters

optimizer_idx (int) – The index of the optimizer to untoggle.

Return type

None

val_dataloader() Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Implement one or multiple PyTorch DataLoaders for validation.

The dataloader you return will not be reloaded unless you set :paramref:`~pytorch_lightning.trainer.Trainer.reload_dataloaders_every_n_epochs` to a positive integer.

It’s recommended that all data downloads and preparation happen in prepare_data().

Note

Lightning adds the correct sampler for distributed and arbitrary hardware There is no need to set it yourself.

Returns

A torch.utils.data.DataLoader or a sequence of them specifying validation samples.

Return type

Union[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, Sequence[torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader]]

Examples:

def val_dataloader(self):
    transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(),
                                    transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (1.0,))])
    dataset = MNIST(root='/path/to/mnist/', train=False,
                    transform=transform, download=True)
    loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset=dataset,
        batch_size=self.batch_size,
        shuffle=False
    )

    return loader

# can also return multiple dataloaders
def val_dataloader(self):
    return [loader_a, loader_b, ..., loader_n]

Note

If you don’t need a validation dataset and a validation_step(), you don’t need to implement this method.

Note

In the case where you return multiple validation dataloaders, the validation_step() will have an argument dataloader_idx which matches the order here.

validation_epoch_end(outputs: Union[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]], List[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]]]) None

Called at the end of the validation epoch with the outputs of all validation steps.

# the pseudocode for these calls
val_outs = []
for val_batch in val_data:
    out = validation_step(val_batch)
    val_outs.append(out)
validation_epoch_end(val_outs)
Parameters

outputs (Union[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]], List[List[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]]]) – List of outputs you defined in validation_step(), or if there are multiple dataloaders, a list containing a list of outputs for each dataloader.

Returns

None

Return type

None

Note

If you didn’t define a validation_step(), this won’t be called.

Examples

With a single dataloader:

def validation_epoch_end(self, val_step_outputs):
    for out in val_step_outputs:
        ...

With multiple dataloaders, outputs will be a list of lists. The outer list contains one entry per dataloader, while the inner list contains the individual outputs of each validation step for that dataloader.

def validation_epoch_end(self, outputs):
    for dataloader_output_result in outputs:
        dataloader_outs = dataloader_output_result.dataloader_i_outputs

    self.log("final_metric", final_value)
validation_step(batch: dict, *args, **kwargs)

Validate step.

Parameters

batch (dict) – batch of data

Returns

loss

validation_step_end(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

Use this when validating with dp because validation_step() will operate on only part of the batch. However, this is still optional and only needed for things like softmax or NCE loss.

Note

If you later switch to ddp or some other mode, this will still be called so that you don’t have to change your code.

# pseudocode
sub_batches = split_batches_for_dp(batch)
step_output = [validation_step(sub_batch) for sub_batch in sub_batches]
validation_step_end(step_output)
Parameters
  • step_output – What you return in validation_step() for each batch part.

  • args (Any) –

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

None or anything

Return type

Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]]

# WITHOUT validation_step_end
# if used in DP, this batch is 1/num_gpus large
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self.encoder(x)
    loss = self.softmax(out)
    loss = nce_loss(loss)
    self.log("val_loss", loss)


# --------------
# with validation_step_end to do softmax over the full batch
def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
    # batch is 1/num_gpus big
    x, y = batch

    out = self(x)
    return out


def validation_step_end(self, val_step_outputs):
    for out in val_step_outputs:
        ...

xpu(device: Optional[Union[torch.device, int]] = None) torch.nn.modules.module.T

Moves all model parameters and buffers to the XPU.

This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on XPU while being optimized.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters
  • device (int, optional) – if specified, all parameters will be copied to that device

  • self (torch.nn.modules.module.T) –

Returns

self

Return type

Module

zero_grad(set_to_none: bool = False) None

Sets gradients of all model parameters to zero. See similar function under torch.optim.Optimizer for more context.

Parameters

set_to_none (bool) – instead of setting to zero, set the grads to None. See torch.optim.Optimizer.zero_grad() for details.

Return type

None

property automatic_optimization: bool

If set to False you are responsible for calling .backward(), .step(), .zero_grad().

property current_epoch: int

The current epoch in the Trainer, or 0 if not attached.

property example_input_array: Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Tuple, Dict]]

The example input array is a specification of what the module can consume in the forward() method. The return type is interpreted as follows:

  • Single tensor: It is assumed the model takes a single argument, i.e., model.forward(model.example_input_array)

  • Tuple: The input array should be interpreted as a sequence of positional arguments, i.e., model.forward(*model.example_input_array)

  • Dict: The input array represents named keyword arguments, i.e., model.forward(**model.example_input_array)

property global_rank: int

The index of the current process across all nodes and devices.

property global_step: int

Total training batches seen across all epochs.

If no Trainer is attached, this propery is 0.

property hparams: Union[pytorch_lightning.utilities.parsing.AttributeDict, MutableMapping]

The collection of hyperparameters saved with save_hyperparameters(). It is mutable by the user. For the frozen set of initial hyperparameters, use hparams_initial.

Returns

Mutable hyperparameters dictionary

property hparams_initial: pytorch_lightning.utilities.parsing.AttributeDict

The collection of hyperparameters saved with save_hyperparameters(). These contents are read-only. Manual updates to the saved hyperparameters can instead be performed through hparams.

Returns

immutable initial hyperparameters

Return type

AttributeDict

property local_rank: int

The index of the current process within a single node.

property logger: Optional[Union[pytorch_lightning.loggers.logger.Logger, lightning_fabric.loggers.logger.Logger]]

Reference to the logger object in the Trainer.

property loggers: Union[List[pytorch_lightning.loggers.logger.Logger], List[lightning_fabric.loggers.logger.Logger]]

Reference to the list of loggers in the Trainer.

property on_gpu: bool

Returns True if this model is currently located on a GPU.

Useful to set flags around the LightningModule for different CPU vs GPU behavior.

property truncated_bptt_steps: int

Enables Truncated Backpropagation Through Time in the Trainer when set to a positive integer.

It represents the number of times training_step() gets called before backpropagation. If this is > 0, the training_step() receives an additional argument hiddens and is expected to return a hidden state.
