Fastai v2 chat

#292

I’m trying to run notebook tests from the command line and getting an error. What am I doing wrong?

> python run_notebook.py --fn 00_test.ipynb 

Error in 00_test.ipynb

You need to update nbconvert to the latest version.

#294

fastai v2 is now compatible with pytorch 1.3 (and remains compatible with 1.2).

Do you plan to utilize the named tensors feature in any way, or will you avoid doing so to ensure compatibility with 1.2?

#296

We plan to use named tensors once PyTorch considers them stable.

  1. Zoom transform - does it only zoom in and not out? There’s a max_zoom(>=1.0) parameter, but couldn’t find a way to let it zoom say from x0.6 (smaller) to x1.3 (larger)

  2. Any plan to incorporate AutoAugment? [1] [2] [3]

  3. Where is the “suggested LR” from lr_find? It’s mentioned in v1 docs, but I don’t see it now.

  4. I was looking for a way to quickly pickle some data structure, and stumbled upon this post about not using pickle and instead use MessagePack (which I haven’t tried and no experience with).
    What is your opinion on that matter? For example when exporting model/learner.

  5. What’s the equivalent of PyTorch’s Dataloader sampler to balance classes when wanting to rebalance classes to prevent overfitting with an imbalanced dataset?

#298

(moved everything to previous post)

#299

Where does the DataBunch.c attribute get set? It’s used in get_c() function, but I couldn’t find the code that sets it.

#300

It may be set by one of the transforms.

Hello,

I am unsure if these questions are for mainly v2 or both v1 and v2. I might be able to answer some of these questions:

  1. I am unsure but I guess you could probably try this yourself and see :slightly_smiling_face:
  2. Don’t know
  3. For fastai v1, you could do learn.recorder.plot(suggestion=True) but I am not sure if this is the same for v2
  4. Don’t know
  5. For fastai v1 we have the OverSamplingCallback that uses the weighted random sampler. I will probably write a version for fastai v2 in the next couple weeks.
#302

I can connect to WSL and run python/jupyter, but for fastai2, it reports No module named ‘local’. So who knows what I am missing?

#303

See resolution here:

#304

I was referring to @jeremy’s plans for v2, exactly bacuse some was available in v1 as you mentioned.

#305

Ah ok I will try to answer again based on what’s in the code now:

  1. Here is the code for the zoom. It seems it uses PyTorch .uniform_ from 1 to max_zoom, but I am not sure if it will work if max_zoom<1 and the upper bound is actually smaller than the lower bound.
  2. Not sure
  3. The code for the LR finder plot is here. There is no suggestion arguments right now.
  4. Not sure
  5. Again, I will develop this as a callback soon.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

#306

There’s weighted_databunch now, although it’s not well tested.

PyTorch 1.3 breaks OverSamplingCallback
#307

I was not aware of this. Does this mean there is no need for an OverSamplingCallback like there was for fastai v1?

#308

Why does drop_last equal shuffles?

#309

That’s right. I just added this thingie the other day :slight_smile:

#310

Generally you just want your training set to have drop_last.

#311

So it’s implicit there that training set has shuffle=True and test set has shuffle=False?
