Introduction

MMEngine is a fundational library for training deep learning models based on PyTorch. It can runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Major features:

1. A general and powerful runner:

   • Users can train different models with several lines of code, e.g., training ImageNet in 80 lines (in comparison with PyTorch example that need more than 400 lines).
   • Can train models in popular libraries like TIMM, TorchVision, and Detectron2.

2. An open framework with unified interfaces:

   • Users can do one thing to all OpenMMLab 2.x projects with the same code. For example, MMRazor 1.x can compress models in all OpenMMLab 2.x projects with 40% of the code reduced from MMRazor 0.x.
   • Simplify the support of up/down-streams. Currently, MMEngine can run on Nvidia CUDA, Mac MPS, AMD, MLU, and other devices.

3. A legoified training process:

   • Dynamical training, optimization, and data augmentation strategies like Early stopping
   • Arbitrary forms of model weight averaging including Exponential Momentum Average (EMA) and Stochastic Weight Averaging (SWA)
   • Visualize and log whatever you want
   • Fine-grained optimization strategies of each parameter groups
   • Flexible control of mixed precision training

Installation

Before installing MMEngine, please make sure that PyTorch has been successfully installed following the official guide.

Install MMEngine

pip install -U openmim
mim install mmengine

Verify the installation

python -c 'from mmengine.utils.dl_utils import collect_env;print(collect_env())'

Get Started

As an example of training a ResNet-50 model on the CIFAR-10 dataset, we will build a complete, configurable training and validation process using MMEngine in less than 80 lines of code.

Build Models

First, we need to define a Model that 1) inherits from BaseModel, and 2) accepts an additional argument mode in the forward method, in addition to those arguments related to the dataset. During training, the value of mode is "loss" and the forward method should return a dict containing the key "loss". During validation, the value of mode is "predict" and the forward method should return results containing both predictions and labels.

import torch.nn.functional as F
import torchvision
from mmengine.model import BaseModel

class MMResNet50(BaseModel):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resnet = torchvision.models.resnet50()

    def forward(self, imgs, labels, mode):
        x = self.resnet(imgs)
        if mode == 'loss':
            return {'loss': F.cross_entropy(x, labels)}
        elif mode == 'predict':
            return x, labels

Build Datasets

Next, we need to create a Dataset and DataLoader for training and validation. In this case, we simply use built-in datasets supported in TorchVision.

import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

norm_cfg = dict(mean=[0.491, 0.482, 0.447], std=[0.202, 0.199, 0.201])
train_dataloader = DataLoader(batch_size=32,
                              shuffle=True,
                              dataset=torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
                                  'data/cifar10',
                                  train=True,
                                  download=True,
                                  transform=transforms.Compose([
                                      transforms.RandomCrop(32, padding=4),
                                      transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
                                      transforms.ToTensor(),
                                      transforms.Normalize(**norm_cfg)
                                  ])))
val_dataloader = DataLoader(batch_size=32,
                            shuffle=False,
                            dataset=torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
                                'data/cifar10',
                                train=False,
                                download=True,
                                transform=transforms.Compose([
                                    transforms.ToTensor(),
                                    transforms.Normalize(**norm_cfg)
                                ])))

Build Metrics

To validate and test the model, we need to define a Metric like accuracy to evaluate the model. This metric needs inherit from BaseMetric and implements the process and compute_metrics methods.

from mmengine.evaluator import BaseMetric

class Accuracy(BaseMetric):
    def process(self, data_batch, data_samples):
        score, gt = data_samples
        # Save the results of a batch to `self.results`
        self.results.append({
            'batch_size': len(gt),
            'correct': (score.argmax(dim=1) == gt).sum().cpu(),
        })
    def compute_metrics(self, results):
        total_correct = sum(item['correct'] for item in results)
        total_size = sum(item['batch_size'] for item in results)
        # Returns a dictionary with the results of the evaluated metrics,
        # where the key is the name of the metric
        return dict(accuracy=100 * total_correct / total_size)

Build a Runner

Finally, we can construct a Runner with previously defined Model, DataLoader, Metrics and some other configs, as shown below.

from torch.optim import SGD
from mmengine.runner import Runner

runner = Runner(
    model=MMResNet50(),
    work_dir='./work_dir',
    train_dataloader=train_dataloader,
    # a wapper to execute back propagation and gradient update, etc.
    optim_wrapper=dict(optimizer=dict(type=SGD, lr=0.001, momentum=0.9)),
    # set some training configs like epochs
    train_cfg=dict(by_epoch=True, max_epochs=5, val_interval=1),
    val_dataloader=val_dataloader,
    val_cfg=dict(),
    val_evaluator=dict(type=Accuracy),
)

Launch Training
