53  Hyperparameter Tuning with spotpython and PyTorch Lightning for the Diabetes Data Set Using a ResNet Model

In this section, we will show how spotpython can be integrated into the PyTorch Lightning training workflow for a regression task. It demonstrates how easy it is to use spotpython to tune hyperparameters for a PyTorch Lightning model.

After importing the necessary libraries, the fun_control dictionary is set up via the fun_control_init function. The fun_control dictionary contains

• PREFIX: a unique identifier for the experiment
• fun_evals: the number of function evaluations
• max_time: the maximum run time in minutes
• data_set: the data set. Here we use the Diabetes data set that is provided by spotpython.
• core_model_name: the class name of the neural network model. This neural network model is provided by spotpython.
• hyperdict: the hyperparameter dictionary. This dictionary is used to define the hyperparameters of the neural network model. It is also provided by spotpython.
• _L_in: the number of input features. Since the Diabetes data set has 10 features, _L_in is set to 10.
• _L_out: the number of output features. Since we want to predict a single value, _L_out is set to 1.

The HyperLight class is used to define the objective function fun. It connects the PyTorch and the spotpython methods and is provided by spotpython.

from spotpython.data.diabetes import Diabetes
from spotpython.hyperdict.light_hyper_dict import LightHyperDict
from spotpython.fun.hyperlight import HyperLight
from spotpython.utils.init import (fun_control_init, surrogate_control_init, design_control_init)
from spotpython.utils.eda import print_exp_table
from spotpython.spot import Spot
from spotpython.utils.file import get_experiment_filename

PREFIX="605"

data_set = Diabetes()

fun_control = fun_control_init(
    PREFIX=PREFIX,
    fun_evals=inf,
    max_time=1,
    data_set = data_set,
    core_model_name="light.regression.NNResNetRegressor",
    hyperdict=LightHyperDict,
    _L_in=10,
    _L_out=1)

fun = HyperLight().fun

module_name: light
submodule_name: regression
model_name: NNResNetRegressor

The method set_hyperparameter allows the user to modify default hyperparameter settings. Here we modify some hyperparameters to keep the model small and to decrease the tuning time.

from spotpython.hyperparameters.values import set_hyperparameter
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "optimizer", [ "Adadelta", "Adam", "Adamax"])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "l1", [3,4])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "epochs", [3,7])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "batch_size", [4,11])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "dropout_prob", [0.0, 0.025])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "patience", [2,3])
set_hyperparameter(fun_control, "lr_mult", [0.1, 20.0])

design_control = design_control_init(init_size=10)

print_exp_table(fun_control)

| name           | type   | default   |   lower |   upper | transform             |
|----------------|--------|-----------|---------|---------|-----------------------|
| l1             | int    | 3         |     3   |   4     | transform_power_2_int |
| epochs         | int    | 4         |     3   |   7     | transform_power_2_int |
| batch_size     | int    | 4         |     4   |  11     | transform_power_2_int |
| act_fn         | factor | ReLU      |     0   |   5     | None                  |
| optimizer      | factor | SGD       |     0   |   2     | None                  |
| dropout_prob   | float  | 0.01      |     0   |   0.025 | None                  |
| lr_mult        | float  | 1.0       |     0.1 |  20     | None                  |
| patience       | int    | 2         |     2   |   3     | transform_power_2_int |
| initialization | factor | Default   |     0   |   4     | None                  |

Finally, a Spot object is created. Calling the method run() starts the hyperparameter tuning process.

spot_tuner = Spot(fun=fun,fun_control=fun_control, design_control=design_control)
res = spot_tuner.run()

53.1 Looking at the Results

53.1.1 Tuning Progress

After the hyperparameter tuning run is finished, the progress of the hyperparameter tuning can be visualized with spotpython’s method plot_progress. The black points represent the performace values (score or metric) of hyperparameter configurations from the initial design, whereas the red points represents the hyperparameter configurations found by the surrogate model based optimization.

53.1.5 Cross Validation With Lightning

• The KFold class from sklearn.model_selection is used to generate the folds for cross-validation.
• These mechanism is used to generate the folds for the final evaluation of the model.
• The CrossValidationDataModule class [SOURCE] is used to generate the folds for the hyperparameter tuning process.
• It is called from the cv_model function [SOURCE].
