class lightning.pytorch.core.hooks.ModelHooks

Bases: object

Hooks to be used in LightningModule.

configure_model()

Hook to create modules in a strategy and precision aware context.

This is particularly useful for when using sharded strategies (FSDP and DeepSpeed), where we’d like to shard the model instantly to save memory and initialization time. For non-sharded strategies, you can choose to override this hook or to initialize your model under the init_module() context manager.

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

configure_sharded_model()

Deprecated.

Use configure_model() instead.

Return type:

None

on_after_backward()

Called after loss.backward() and before optimizers are stepped. :rtype: None

Note

If using native AMP, the gradients will not be unscaled at this point. Use the on_before_optimizer_step if you need the unscaled gradients.

on_before_backward(loss)

Called before loss.backward().

Parameters:

loss (Tensor) – Loss divided by number of batches for gradient accumulation and scaled if using AMP.

Return type:

None

on_before_optimizer_step(optimizer)

Called before optimizer.step().

If using gradient accumulation, the hook is called once the gradients have been accumulated. See: accumulate_grad_batches.

If using AMP, the loss will be unscaled before calling this hook. See these docs for more information on the scaling of gradients.

If clipping gradients, the gradients will not have been clipped yet.

Parameters:

optimizer (Optimizer) – Current optimizer being used.

Return type:

None

Example:

def on_before_optimizer_step(self, optimizer):
    # example to inspect gradient information in tensorboard
    if self.trainer.global_step % 25 == 0:  # don't make the tf file huge
        for k, v in self.named_parameters():
            self.logger.experiment.add_histogram(
                tag=k, values=v.grad, global_step=self.trainer.global_step
            )

on_before_zero_grad(optimizer)

Called after training_step() and before optimizer.zero_grad().

Called in the training loop after taking an optimizer step and before zeroing grads. Good place to inspect weight information with weights updated.

This is where it is called:

for optimizer in optimizers:
    out = training_step(...)

    model.on_before_zero_grad(optimizer) # < ---- called here
    optimizer.zero_grad()

    backward()

Parameters:

optimizer (Optimizer) – The optimizer for which grads should be zeroed.

Return type:

None

on_fit_end()

If on DDP it is called on every process

Return type:

None

on_fit_start()

Called at the very beginning of fit.

If on DDP it is called on every process

Return type:

None

        return loss
