mindspore.experimental.optim.lr_scheduler.CyclicLR

class mindspore.experimental.optim.lr_scheduler.CyclicLR(optimizer, base_lr, max_lr, step_size_up=2000, step_size_down=None, mode='triangular', gamma=1.0, scale_fn=None, scale_mode='cycle', last_epoch=- 1)[source]

Sets the learning rate of each parameter group according to cyclical learning rate policy (CLR). The policy cycles the learning rate between two boundaries with a constant frequency, as detailed in the paper Cyclical Learning Rates for Training Neural Networks. The distance between the two boundaries can be scaled on a per-iteration or per-cycle basis.

This class has three built-in policies, as put forth in the paper:

  • “triangular”: A basic triangular cycle without amplitude scaling.

  • “triangular2”: A basic triangular cycle that scales initial amplitude by half each cycle.

  • “exp_range”: A cycle that scales initial amplitude by \(\text{gamma}^{\text{cycle iterations}}\) at each cycle iteration.

Warning

This is an experimental lr scheduler module that is subject to change. This module must be used with optimizers in Experimental Optimizer .

Parameters

  • optimizer (mindspore.experimental.optim.Optimizer) – Wrapped optimizer.

  • base_lr (Union(float, list)) – Initial learning rate which is the lower boundary in the cycle for each parameter group.

  • max_lr (Union(float, list)) – Upper learning rate boundaries in the cycle for each parameter group. Functionally, it defines the cycle amplitude (max_lr - base_lr). The lr at any cycle is the sum of base_lr and some scaling of the amplitude.

  • step_size_up (int, optional) – Number of training iterations in the increasing half of a cycle. Default: 2000.

  • step_size_down (int, optional) – Number of training iterations in the decreasing half of a cycle. If step_size_down is None, it is set to step_size_up. Default: None.

  • mode (str, optional) – One of {triangular, triangular2, exp_range}. Values correspond to policies detailed above. If scale_fn is not None, this argument is ignored. Default: 'triangular'.

  • gamma (float, optional) – Constant in ‘exp_range’ scaling function: gamma**(cycle iterations). Default: 1.0.

  • scale_fn (function, optional) – Custom scaling policy defined by a single argument lambda function, where 0 <= scale_fn(x) <= 1 for all x >= 0. If specified, then ‘mode’ is ignored. Default: None.

  • scale_mode (str, optional) – {‘cycle’, ‘iterations’}. Defines whether scale_fn is evaluated on cycle number or cycle iterations (training iterations since start of cycle). Illegal inputs will use 'iterations' by defaults. Default: 'cycle'.

  • last_epoch (int, optional) – The index of the last epoch. Default: -1.

Raises

  • ValueError – When base_lr is list or tuple, the length of it is not equal to the number of param groups.

  • ValueError – When max_lr is list or tuple, the length of it is not equal to the number of param groups.

  • ValueError – mode is not in ['triangular', 'triangular2', 'exp_range'] and scale_fn is None.
