<p><a class="reference internal" href="#module-torch.optim" title="torch.optim"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.optim</span></code></a> is a package implementing various optimization algorithms.
Most commonly used methods are already supported, and the interface is general
enough, so that more sophisticated ones can also be easily integrated in the
future.</p>
<section id="how-to-use-an-optimizer">
<h2>How to use an optimizer<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-an-optimizer" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>To use <a class="reference internal" href="#module-torch.optim" title="torch.optim"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.optim</span></code></a> you have to construct an optimizer object that will hold
the current state and will update the parameters based on the computed gradients.</p>
<section id="constructing-it">
<h3>Constructing it<a class="headerlink" href="#constructing-it" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>To construct an <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.optim.Optimizer" title="torch.optim.Optimizer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Optimizer</span></code></a> you have to give it an iterable containing the
parameters (all should be <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code> s) to optimize. Then,
you can specify optimizer-specific options such as the learning rate, weight decay, etc.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">optimizer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">optim</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">SGD</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">model</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parameters</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="n">lr</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.01</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">momentum</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.9</span><span class="p">)</span>

<section id="per-parameter-options">
<h3>Per-parameter options<a class="headerlink" href="#per-parameter-options" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#torch.optim.Optimizer" title="torch.optim.Optimizer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Optimizer</span></code></a> s also support specifying per-parameter options. To do this, instead
of passing an iterable of <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code> s, pass in an iterable of
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict" title="(in Python v3.11)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code></a> s. Each of them will define a separate parameter group, and should contain
a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">params</span></code> key, containing a list of parameters belonging to it. Other keys
should match the keyword arguments accepted by the optimizers, and will be used
as optimization options for this group.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>You can still pass options as keyword arguments. They will be used as
defaults, in the groups that didn’t override them. This is useful when you
only want to vary a single option, while keeping all others consistent
between parameter groups.</p>
</div>
<p>For example, this is very useful when one wants to specify per-layer learning rates:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">optim</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">SGD</span><span class="p">([</span>
<span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">'params'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">model</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">base</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parameters</span><span class="p">()},</span>
<span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">'params'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">model</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">classifier</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parameters</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="s1">'lr'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mf">1e-3</span><span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">],</span> <span class="n">lr</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">1e-2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">momentum</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.9</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This means that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">model.base</span></code>’s parameters will use the default learning rate of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1e-2</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">model.classifier</span></code>’s parameters will use a learning rate of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1e-3</span></code>, and a momentum of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0.9</span></code> will be used for all parameters.</p>
</section>
<section id="taking-an-optimization-step">
<h3>Taking an optimization step<a class="headerlink" href="#taking-an-optimization-step" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>All optimizers implement a <a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.optim.Optimizer.step.html#torch.optim.Optimizer.step" title="torch.optim.Optimizer.step"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">step()</span></code></a> method, that updates the
parameters. It can be used in two ways:</p>
<section id="optimizer-step">
<h4><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step()</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#optimizer-step" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h4>
<p>This is a simplified version supported by most optimizers. The function can be
called once the gradients are computed using e.g.
<code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">backward()</span></code>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">for</span> <span class="nb">input</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">target</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">dataset</span><span class="p">:</span>

<section id="optimizer-step-closure">
<h4><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step(closure)</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#optimizer-step-closure" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h4>
<p>Some optimization algorithms such as Conjugate Gradient and LBFGS need to
reevaluate the function multiple times, so you have to pass in a closure that
allows them to recompute your model. The closure should clear the gradients,
compute the loss, and return it.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<p>Many of our algorithms have various implementations optimized for performance,
readability and/or generality, so we attempt to default to the generally fastest
implementation for the current device if no particular implementation has been
specified by the user.</p>
<p>We have 3 major categories of implementations: for-loop, foreach (multi-tensor), and
fused. The most straightforward implementations are for-loops over the parameters with
big chunks of computation. For-looping is usually slower than our foreach
implementations, which combine parameters into a multi-tensor and run the big chunks
of computation all at once, thereby saving many sequential kernel calls. A few of our
optimizers have even faster fused implementations, which fuse the big chunks of
computation into one kernel. We can think of foreach implementations as fusing
horizontally and fused implementations as fusing vertically on top of that.</p>
<p>In general, the performance ordering of the 3 implementations is fused > foreach > for-loop.
So when applicable, we default to foreach over for-loop. Applicable means the foreach
implementation is available, the user has not specified any implementation-specific kwargs
(e.g., fused, foreach, differentiable), and all tensors are native and on CUDA. Note that
while fused should be even faster than foreach, the implementations are newer and we would
like to give them more bake-in time before flipping the switch everywhere. You are welcome
to try them out though!</p>

<p>Most learning rate schedulers can be called back-to-back (also referred to as
chaining schedulers). The result is that each scheduler is applied one after the
other on the learning rate obtained by the one preceding it.</p>

<p>Prior to PyTorch 1.1.0, the learning rate scheduler was expected to be called before
the optimizer’s update; 1.1.0 changed this behavior in a BC-breaking way. If you use
the learning rate scheduler (calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler.step()</span></code>) before the optimizer’s update
(calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step()</span></code>), this will skip the first value of the learning rate schedule.
If you are unable to reproduce results after upgrading to PyTorch 1.1.0, please check
if you are calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler.step()</span></code> at the wrong time.</p>
