[docs]class LearningRateFinder(Callback):
    """The ``LearningRateFinder`` callback enables the user to do a range test of good initial learning rates, to
    reduce the amount of guesswork in picking a good starting learning rate.

    Args:
        min_lr: Minimum learning rate to investigate

        max_lr: Maximum learning rate to investigate

        num_training_steps: Number of learning rates to test

        mode: Search strategy to update learning rate after each batch:

            - ``'exponential'`` (default): Increases the learning rate exponentially.
            - ``'linear'``: Increases the learning rate linearly.

        early_stop_threshold: Threshold for stopping the search. If the
            loss at any point is larger than early_stop_threshold*best_loss
            then the search is stopped. To disable, set to None.

        update_attr: Whether to update the learning rate attribute or not.

    Example::

        # Customize LearningRateFinder callback to run at different epochs.
        # This feature is useful while fine-tuning models.
