                - `ckpt_name` : str (default=ckpt_latest.pth)

                    The checkpoint (.pth file) filename in CKPT_ROOT_DIR/EXPERIMENT_NAME/ to use when resume=True and
                     resume_path=None

                - `resume_path`: str (default=None)

                    Explicit checkpoint path (.pth file) to use to resume training.

                - `max_epochs` : int

                    Number of epochs to run training.

                - `lr_updates` : list(int)

                    List of fixed epoch numbers to perform learning rate updates when `lr_mode='step'`.

                - `lr_decay_factor` : float

                    Decay factor to apply to the learning rate at each update when `lr_mode='step'`.


                -  `lr_mode` : str

                    Learning rate scheduling policy, one of ['step','poly','cosine','function'].

                    'step' refers to constant updates at epoch numbers passed through `lr_updates`. Each update decays the learning rate by `lr_decay_factor`.

                    'cosine' refers to the Cosine Anealing policy as mentioned in https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03983.
                      The final learning rate ratio is controlled by `cosine_final_lr_ratio` training parameter.

                    'poly' refers to the polynomial decrease: in each epoch iteration `self.lr = self.initial_lr * pow((1.0 - (current_iter / max_iter)), 0.9)`

                    'function' refers to a user-defined learning rate scheduling function, that is passed through `lr_schedule_function`.

                - `lr_schedule_function` : Union[callable,None]

                    Learning rate scheduling function to be used when `lr_mode` is 'function'.

                - `warmup_mode`: Union[str, Type[LRCallbackBase], None]

                    If not None, define how the learning rate will be increased during the warmup phase.
                    Currently, only 'warmup_linear_epoch' and `warmup_linear_step` modes are supported.

                - `lr_warmup_epochs` : int (default=0)

                    Number of epochs for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
                    Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_epoch`.
                    When lr_warmup_epochs > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
                    once per epoch.

                - `lr_warmup_steps` : int (default=0)

                    Number of steps for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
                    Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_step`.
                    When lr_warmup_steps > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
                    for a total number of steps according to formula: min(lr_warmup_steps, len(train_loader)).
                    The capping is done to avoid interference of warmup with epoch-based schedulers.

                - `cosine_final_lr_ratio` : float (default=0.01)
                    Final learning rate ratio (only relevant when `lr_mode`='cosine'). The cosine starts from initial_lr and reaches
                     initial_lr * cosine_final_lr_ratio in last epoch

                - `inital_lr` : float

                    Initial learning rate.

                - `loss` : Union[nn.module, str]

                    Loss function for training.
                    One of SuperGradient's built in options:

                              "cross_entropy": LabelSmoothingCrossEntropyLoss,
                              "mse": MSELoss,
                              "r_squared_loss": RSquaredLoss,
                              "detection_loss": YoLoV3DetectionLoss,
                              "shelfnet_ohem_loss": ShelfNetOHEMLoss,
                              "shelfnet_se_loss": ShelfNetSemanticEncodingLoss,
                              "ssd_loss": SSDLoss,


                    or user defined nn.module loss function.

                    IMPORTANT: forward(...) should return a (loss, loss_items) tuple where loss is the tensor used
                    for backprop (i.e what your original loss function returns), and loss_items should be a tensor of
                    shape (n_items), of values computed during the forward pass which we desire to log over the
                    entire epoch. For example- the loss itself should always be logged. Another example is a scenario
                    where the computed loss is the sum of a few components we would like to log- these entries in
                    loss_items).

                    IMPORTANT:When dealing with external loss classes, to logg/monitor the loss_items as described
                    above by specific string name:

                    Set a "component_names" property in the loss class, whos instance is passed through train_params,
                     to be a list of strings, of length n_items who's ith element is the name of the ith entry in loss_items.
                     Then each item will be logged, rendered on tensorboard and "watched" (i.e saving model checkpoints
                     according to it) under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"<COMPONENT_NAME>. If a single item is returned rather then a
                     tuple, it would be logged under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>. When there is no such attributed, the items
                     will be named <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"Loss_"<IDX> according to the length of loss_items

                    For example:
                        class MyLoss(_Loss):
                            ...
                            def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                                ...
                                total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                                loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                                return total_loss, loss_items
                            ...
                            @property
                            def component_names(self):
                                return ["total_loss", "my_1st_component", "my_2nd_component"]

                    Trainer.train(...
                                    train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                                    ...
                                                    "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss/my_1st_component"}

                        This will write to log and monitor MyLoss/total_loss, MyLoss/my_1st_component,
                         MyLoss/my_2nd_component.

                   For example:
                        class MyLoss2(_Loss):
                            ...
                            def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                                ...
                                total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                                loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                                return total_loss, loss_items
                            ...

                    Trainer.train(...
                                    train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                                    ...
                                                    "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss2/loss_0"}

                        This will write to log and monitor MyLoss2/loss_0, MyLoss2/loss_1, MyLoss2/loss_2
                        as they have been named by their positional index in loss_items.

                    Since running logs will save the loss_items in some internal state, it is recommended that
                    loss_items are detached from their computational graph for memory efficiency.

                - `optimizer` : Union[str, torch.optim.Optimizer]

                    Optimization algorithm. One of ['Adam','SGD','RMSProp'] corresponding to the torch.optim
                    optimzers implementations, or any object that implements torch.optim.Optimizer.

                - `criterion_params` : dict

                    Loss function parameters.

                - `dataset_statistics` : bool (default=False)

                    Enable a statistic analysis of the dataset. If set to True the dataset will be analyzed and a report

                    or support remote storage.

                -   `sg_logger_params` : dict

                -   `pre_prediction_callback` : Callable (default=None)

                     When not None, this callback will be applied to images and targets, and returning them to be used
                      for the forward pass, and further computations. Args for this callable should be in the order
                      (inputs, targets, batch_idx) returning modified_inputs, modified_targets

                -   `ckpt_best_name` : str (default='ckpt_best.pth')

                -   `max_train_batches`: int, for debug- when not None- will break out of inner train loop (i.e iterating over
                      train_loader) when reaching this number of batches. Usefull for debugging (default=None).

                       prior to loading weights, then training is resumed from that checkpoint. The source is unique to
                       every logger, and currently supported for WandB loggers only.

                       IMPORTANT: Only works for experiments that were ran with sg_logger_params.save_checkpoints_remote=True.
                       IMPORTANT: For WandB loggers, one must also pass the run id through the wandb_id arg in sg_logger_params.

quantize_from_config(cfg) classmethod

Perform quantization aware training (QAT) according to a recipe configuration.

This method will instantiate all the objects specified in the recipe, build and quantize the model, and calibrate the quantized model. The resulting quantized model and the output of the trainer.train() method will be returned.

The quantized model will be exported to ONNX along with other checkpoints.

The call to self.quantize (see docs in the next method) is done with the created train_loader and valid_loader. If no calibration data loader is passed through cfg.calib_loader, a train data laoder with the validation transforms is used for calibration.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cfg	Union[DictConfig, dict]	The parsed DictConfig object from yaml recipe files or a dictionary.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Tuple[nn.Module, Tuple]	A tuple containing the quantized model and the output of trainer.train() method.

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If the recipe does not have the required key quantization_params or checkpoint_params.checkpoint_path in it.
NotImplementedError	If the recipe requests multiple GPUs or num_gpus is not equal to 1.
ImportError	If pytorch-quantization import was unsuccessful

        'step' refers to constant updates at epoch numbers passed through `lr_updates`. Each update decays the learning rate by `lr_decay_factor`.

        'cosine' refers to the Cosine Anealing policy as mentioned in https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03983.
          The final learning rate ratio is controlled by `cosine_final_lr_ratio` training parameter.

        'poly' refers to the polynomial decrease: in each epoch iteration `self.lr = self.initial_lr * pow((1.0 - (current_iter / max_iter)), 0.9)`

        'function' refers to a user-defined learning rate scheduling function, that is passed through `lr_schedule_function`.

    - `lr_schedule_function` : Union[callable,None]

        Learning rate scheduling function to be used when `lr_mode` is 'function'.

    - `warmup_mode`: Union[str, Type[LRCallbackBase], None]

        If not None, define how the learning rate will be increased during the warmup phase.
        Currently, only 'warmup_linear_epoch' and `warmup_linear_step` modes are supported.

    - `lr_warmup_epochs` : int (default=0)

        Number of epochs for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
        Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_epoch`.
        When lr_warmup_epochs > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
        once per epoch.

    - `lr_warmup_steps` : int (default=0)

        Number of steps for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
        Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_step`.
        When lr_warmup_steps > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
        for a total number of steps according to formula: min(lr_warmup_steps, len(train_loader)).
        The capping is done to avoid interference of warmup with epoch-based schedulers.

    - `cosine_final_lr_ratio` : float (default=0.01)
        Final learning rate ratio (only relevant when `lr_mode`='cosine'). The cosine starts from initial_lr and reaches
         initial_lr * cosine_final_lr_ratio in last epoch

    - `inital_lr` : float

        Initial learning rate.

    - `loss` : Union[nn.module, str]

        Loss function for training.
        One of SuperGradient's built in options:

                  "cross_entropy": LabelSmoothingCrossEntropyLoss,
                  "mse": MSELoss,
                  "r_squared_loss": RSquaredLoss,
                  "detection_loss": YoLoV3DetectionLoss,
                  "shelfnet_ohem_loss": ShelfNetOHEMLoss,
                  "shelfnet_se_loss": ShelfNetSemanticEncodingLoss,
                  "ssd_loss": SSDLoss,


        or user defined nn.module loss function.

        IMPORTANT: forward(...) should return a (loss, loss_items) tuple where loss is the tensor used
        for backprop (i.e what your original loss function returns), and loss_items should be a tensor of
        shape (n_items), of values computed during the forward pass which we desire to log over the
        entire epoch. For example- the loss itself should always be logged. Another example is a scenario
        where the computed loss is the sum of a few components we would like to log- these entries in
        loss_items).

        IMPORTANT:When dealing with external loss classes, to logg/monitor the loss_items as described
        above by specific string name:

        Set a "component_names" property in the loss class, whos instance is passed through train_params,
         to be a list of strings, of length n_items who's ith element is the name of the ith entry in loss_items.
         Then each item will be logged, rendered on tensorboard and "watched" (i.e saving model checkpoints
         according to it) under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"<COMPONENT_NAME>. If a single item is returned rather then a
         tuple, it would be logged under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>. When there is no such attributed, the items
         will be named <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"Loss_"<IDX> according to the length of loss_items

        For example:
            class MyLoss(_Loss):
                ...
                def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                    ...
                    total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                    loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                    return total_loss, loss_items
                ...
                @property
                def component_names(self):
                    return ["total_loss", "my_1st_component", "my_2nd_component"]

        Trainer.train(...
                        train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                        ...
                                        "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss/my_1st_component"}

            This will write to log and monitor MyLoss/total_loss, MyLoss/my_1st_component,
             MyLoss/my_2nd_component.

       For example:
            class MyLoss2(_Loss):
                ...
                def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                    ...
                    total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                    loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                    return total_loss, loss_items
                ...

        Trainer.train(...
                        train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                        ...
                                        "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss2/loss_0"}

            This will write to log and monitor MyLoss2/loss_0, MyLoss2/loss_1, MyLoss2/loss_2
            as they have been named by their positional index in loss_items.

        Since running logs will save the loss_items in some internal state, it is recommended that
        loss_items are detached from their computational graph for memory efficiency.

            is a list referring to the names of each entry in the output metric (torch tensor of size n)

            one of "loss_logging_items_names" i.e which will correspond to an item returned during the
            loss function's forward pass (see loss docs abov).

        At the end of each epoch, if a new best metric_to_watch value is achieved, the models checkpoint
        is saved in YOUR_PYTHON_PATH/checkpoints/ckpt_best.pth

    - `greater_metric_to_watch_is_better` : bool

          valid_loader) when reaching this number of batches. Usefull for debugging (default=None).

    -   `resume_from_remote_sg_logger`: bool (default=False),  bool (default=False), When true, ckpt_name (checkpoint filename
           to resume i.e ckpt_latest.pth bydefault) will be downloaded into the experiment checkpoints directory
           prior to loading weights, then training is resumed from that checkpoint. The source is unique to

                    This will write to log and monitor MyLoss/total_loss, MyLoss/my_1st_component,
                     MyLoss/my_2nd_component.

               For example:
                    class MyLoss2(_Loss):
                        ...
                        def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                            ...
                            total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                            loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                            return total_loss, loss_items
                        ...

                Trainer.train(...
                                train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                                ...
                                                "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss2/loss_0"}

                    This will write to log and monitor MyLoss2/loss_0, MyLoss2/loss_1, MyLoss2/loss_2
                    as they have been named by their positional index in loss_items.

                Since running logs will save the loss_items in some internal state, it is recommended that
                loss_items are detached from their computational graph for memory efficiency.

                    one of "loss_logging_items_names" i.e which will correspond to an item returned during the
                    loss function's forward pass (see loss docs abov).

                At the end of each epoch, if a new best metric_to_watch value is achieved, the models checkpoint
                is saved in YOUR_PYTHON_PATH/checkpoints/ckpt_best.pth

            - `greater_metric_to_watch_is_better` : bool

                When choosing a model's checkpoint to be saved, the best achieved model is the one that maximizes the

                https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models ema implementation)

            - `batch_accumulate` : int (default=1)

                Number of batches to accumulate before every backward pass.

            - `ema_params` : dict

            - `precise_bn_batch_size` : int (default=None)

                The effective batch size we want to calculate the batchnorm on. For example, if we are training a model
                on 8 gpus, with a batch of 128 on each gpu, a good rule of thumb would be to give it 8192
                (ie: effective_batch_size * num_gpus = batch_per_gpu * num_gpus * num_gpus).
                If precise_bn_batch_size is not provided in the training_params, the latter heuristic will be taken.

                 and logfile (useful when trying to reproduce results).

            - `dataset_statistics` : bool (default=False)

                Enable a statistic analysis of the dataset. If set to True the dataset will be analyzed and a report
                will be added to the tensorboard along with some sample images from the dataset. Currently only
                detection datasets are supported for analysis.

            -  `sg_logger` : Union[AbstractSGLogger, str] (defauls=base_sg_logger)

                Define the SGLogger object for this training process. The SGLogger handles all disk writes, logs, TensorBoard, remote logging
                and remote storage. By overriding the default base_sg_logger, you can change the storage location, support external monitoring and logging
                or support remote storage.

            -   `sg_logger_params` : dict

                SGLogger parameters

                 When not None, this callback will be applied to images and targets, and returning them to be used
                  for the forward pass, and further computations. Args for this callable should be in the order
                  (inputs, targets, batch_idx) returning modified_inputs, modified_targets

            -   `ckpt_best_name` : str (default='ckpt_best.pth')

                The best checkpoint (according to metric_to_watch) will be saved under this filename in the checkpoints directory.

            -   `max_train_batches`: int, for debug- when not None- will break out of inner train loop (i.e iterating over
                  train_loader) when reaching this number of batches. Usefull for debugging (default=None).

            -   `max_valid_batches`: int, for debug- when not None- will break out of inner valid loop (i.e iterating over
                  valid_loader) when reaching this number of batches. Usefull for debugging (default=None).

            -   `resume_from_remote_sg_logger`: bool (default=False),  bool (default=False), When true, ckpt_name (checkpoint filename
                   to resume i.e ckpt_latest.pth bydefault) will be downloaded into the experiment checkpoints directory
                   prior to loading weights, then training is resumed from that checkpoint. The source is unique to
                   every logger, and currently supported for WandB loggers only.

                   IMPORTANT: Only works for experiments that were ran with sg_logger_params.save_checkpoints_remote=True.
                   IMPORTANT: For WandB loggers, one must also pass the run id through the wandb_id arg in sg_logger_params.
