# pythae

This library implements some of the most common (Variational) Autoencoder models under a unified implementation. In particular, it
provides the possibility to perform benchmark experiments and comparisons by training
the models with the same autoencoding neural network architecture. The feature *make your own autoencoder*
allows you to train any of these models with your own data and own Encoder and Decoder neural networks. It integrates experiment monitoring tools such [wandb](https://wandb.ai/), [mlflow](https://mlflow.org/) or [comet-ml](https://www.comet.com/signup?utm_source=pythae&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=AMS_US_EN_SNUP_Pythae_Comet_Integration) 🧪 and allows model sharing and loading from the [HuggingFace Hub](https://huggingface.co/models) 🤗 in a few lines of code.

**News** 📢

As of v0.1.0, `Pythae` now supports distributed training using PyTorch's [DDP](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/ddp.html). You can now train your favorite VAE faster and on larger datasets, still with a few lines of code.
See our speed-up [benchmark](#benchmark).

## Reproducibility

We validate the implementations by reproducing some results presented in the original publications when the official code has been released or when enough details about the experimental section of the papers were available. See [reproducibility](https://github.com/clementchadebec/benchmark_VAE/tree/main/examples/scripts/reproducibility) for more details.

## Launching a model training

To launch a model training, you only need to call a `TrainingPipeline` instance.

```python
>>> from pythae.pipelines import TrainingPipeline
>>> from pythae.models import VAE, VAEConfig
>>> from pythae.trainers import BaseTrainerConfig

>>> # Set up the training configuration
>>> my_training_config = BaseTrainerConfig(
... output_dir='my_model',
... num_epochs=50,
... learning_rate=1e-3,
... per_device_train_batch_size=200,
... per_device_eval_batch_size=200,
... train_dataloader_num_workers=2,
... eval_dataloader_num_workers=2,
... steps_saving=20,
... optimizer_cls="AdamW",
... optimizer_params={"weight_decay": 0.05, "betas": (0.91, 0.995)},
... scheduler_cls="ReduceLROnPlateau",
... scheduler_params={"patience": 5, "factor": 0.5}
... )
>>> # Set up the model configuration
>>> my_vae_config = model_config = VAEConfig(
... input_dim=(1, 28, 28),
... latent_dim=10
... )
>>> # Build the model
>>> my_vae_model = VAE(
... model_config=my_vae_config
... )
>>> # Build the Pipeline
>>> pipeline = TrainingPipeline(
... training_config=my_training_config,
... model=my_vae_model
... )
>>> # Launch the Pipeline
>>> pipeline(
... train_data=your_train_data, # must be torch.Tensor, np.array or torch datasets
... eval_data=your_eval_data # must be torch.Tensor, np.array or torch datasets
... )
```

At the end of training, the best model weights, model configuration and training configuration are stored in a `final_model` folder available in `my_model/MODEL_NAME_training_YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss` (with `my_model` being the `output_dir` argument of the `BaseTrainerConfig`). If you further set the `steps_saving` argument to a certain value, folders named `checkpoint_epoch_k` containing the best model weights, optimizer, scheduler, configuration and training configuration at epoch *k* will also appear in `my_model/MODEL_NAME_training_YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss`.

## Launching a training on benchmark datasets
We also provide a training script example [here](https://github.com/clementchadebec/benchmark_VAE/tree/main/examples/scripts/training.py) that can be used to train the models on benchmarks datasets (mnist, cifar10, celeba ...). The script can be launched with the following commandline

```bash
python training.py --dataset mnist --model_name ae --model_config 'configs/ae_config.json' --training_config 'configs/base_training_config.json'
```

See [README.md](https://github.com/clementchadebec/benchmark_VAE/tree/main/examples/scripts/README.md) for further details on this script

## Launching data generation

### Using the `GenerationPipeline`

The easiest way to launch a data generation from a trained model consists in using the built-in `GenerationPipeline` provided in Pythae. Say you want to generate 100 samples using a `MAFSampler` all you have to do is 1) relaod the trained model, 2) define the sampler's configuration and 3) create and launch the `GenerationPipeline` as follows

```python
>>> from pythae.models import AutoModel
>>> from pythae.samplers import MAFSamplerConfig
>>> from pythae.pipelines import GenerationPipeline
>>> # Retrieve the trained model
>>> my_trained_vae = AutoModel.load_from_folder(
... 'path/to/your/trained/model'
... )
>>> my_sampler_config = MAFSamplerConfig(
... n_made_blocks=2,
... n_hidden_in_made=3,
... hidden_size=128
... )
>>> # Build the pipeline
>>> pipe = GenerationPipeline(
... model=my_trained_vae,
... sampler_config=my_sampler_config
... )
>>> # Launch data generation
>>> generated_samples = pipe(
... num_samples=args.num_samples,
... return_gen=True, # If false returns nothing
... train_data=train_data, # Needed to fit the sampler
... eval_data=eval_data, # Needed to fit the sampler
... training_config=BaseTrainerConfig(num_epochs=200) # TrainingConfig to use to fit the sampler
... )
```

### Using the Samplers

Alternatively, you can launch the data generation process from a trained model directly with the sampler. For instance, to generate new data with your sampler, run the following.

```python
>>> from pythae.models import AutoModel
>>> from pythae.samplers import NormalSampler
>>> # Retrieve the trained model
>>> my_trained_vae = AutoModel.load_from_folder(
... 'path/to/your/trained/model'
... )
>>> # Define your sampler
>>> my_samper = NormalSampler(
... model=my_trained_vae
... )
>>> # Generate samples
>>> gen_data = my_samper.sample(
... num_samples=50,
... batch_size=10,
... output_dir=None,
... return_gen=True
... )
```
If you set `output_dir` to a specific path, the generated images will be saved as `.png` files named `00000000.png`, `00000001.png` ...
The samplers can be used with any model as long as it is suited. For instance, a `GaussianMixtureSampler` instance can be used to generate from any model but a `VAMPSampler` will only be usable with a `VAMP` model. Check [here](#available-samplers) to see which ones apply to your model. Be carefull that some samplers such as the `GaussianMixtureSampler` for instance may need to be fitted by calling the `fit` method before using. Below is an example for the `GaussianMixtureSampler`.

```python
>>> from pythae.models import AutoModel
>>> from pythae.samplers import GaussianMixtureSampler, GaussianMixtureSamplerConfig
>>> # Retrieve the trained model
>>> my_trained_vae = AutoModel.load_from_folder(
... 'path/to/your/trained/model'
... )
>>> # Define your sampler
... gmm_sampler_config = GaussianMixtureSamplerConfig(
... n_components=10
... )
>>> my_samper = GaussianMixtureSampler(
... sampler_config=gmm_sampler_config,
... model=my_trained_vae
... )
>>> # fit the sampler
>>> gmm_sampler.fit(train_dataset)
>>> # Generate samples
>>> gen_data = my_samper.sample(
... num_samples=50,
... batch_size=10,
... output_dir=None,
... return_gen=True
... )
```

## Define you own Autoencoder architecture

Pythae provides you the possibility to define your own neural networks within the VAE models. For instance, say you want to train a Wassertstein AE with a specific encoder and decoder, you can do the following:

```python
>>> from pythae.models.nn import BaseEncoder, BaseDecoder
>>> from pythae.models.base.base_utils import ModelOutput
>>> class My_Encoder(BaseEncoder):
... def __init__(self, args=None): # Args is a ModelConfig instance
... BaseEncoder.__init__(self)
... self.layers = my_nn_layers()
...
... def forward(self, x:torch.Tensor) -> ModelOutput:
... out = self.layers(x)
... output = ModelOutput(
... embedding=out # Set the output from the encoder in a ModelOutput instance
... )
... return output
...
... class My_Decoder(BaseDecoder):
... def __init__(self, args=None):
... BaseDecoder.__init__(self)
... self.layers = my_nn_layers()
...
... def forward(self, x:torch.Tensor) -> ModelOutput:
... out = self.layers(x)
... output = ModelOutput(
... reconstruction=out # Set the output from the decoder in a ModelOutput instance
... )
... return output
...
>>> my_encoder = My_Encoder()
>>> my_decoder = My_Decoder()
```

And now build the model

```python
>>> from pythae.models import WAE_MMD, WAE_MMD_Config
>>> # Set up the model configuration
>>> my_wae_config = model_config = WAE_MMD_Config(
... input_dim=(1, 28, 28),
... latent_dim=10
... )
...
>>> # Build the model
>>> my_wae_model = WAE_MMD(
... model_config=my_wae_config,
... encoder=my_encoder, # pass your encoder as argument when building the model
... decoder=my_decoder # pass your decoder as argument when building the model
... )
```

**important note 1**: For all AE-based models (AE, WAE, RAE_L2, RAE_GP), both the encoder and decoder must return a `ModelOutput` instance. For the encoder, the `ModelOutput` instance must contain the embbeddings under the key `embedding`. For the decoder, the `ModelOutput` instance must contain the reconstructions under the key `reconstruction`.

**important note 2**: For all VAE-based models (VAE, BetaVAE, IWAE, HVAE, VAMP, RHVAE), both the encoder and decoder must return a `ModelOutput` instance. For the encoder, the `ModelOutput` instance must contain the embbeddings and **log**-covariance matrices (of shape batch_size x latent_space_dim) respectively under the key `embedding` and `log_covariance` key. For the decoder, the `ModelOutput` instance must contain the reconstructions under the key `reconstruction`.

## Using benchmark neural nets
You can also find predefined neural network architectures for the most common data sets (*i.e.* MNIST, CIFAR, CELEBA ...) that can be loaded as follows

```python
>>> from pythae.models.nn.benchmark.mnist import (
... Encoder_Conv_AE_MNIST, # For AE based model (only return embeddings)
... Encoder_Conv_VAE_MNIST, # For VAE based model (return embeddings and log_covariances)
... Decoder_Conv_AE_MNIST
... )
```
Replace *mnist* by cifar or celeba to access to other neural nets.

## Distributed Training with `Pythae`
As of `v0.1.0`, Pythae now supports distributed training using PyTorch's [DDP](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/ddp.html). It allows you to train your favorite VAE faster and on larger dataset using multi-gpu and/or multi-node training.

To do so, you can build a python script that will then be launched by a launcher (such as `srun` on a cluster). The only thing that is needed in the script is to specify some elements relative to the distributed environment (such as the number of nodes/gpus) directly in the training configuration as follows

```python
>>> training_config = BaseTrainerConfig(
... num_epochs=10,
... learning_rate=1e-3,
... per_device_train_batch_size=64,
... per_device_eval_batch_size=64,
... train_dataloader_num_workers=8,
... eval_dataloader_num_workers=8,
... dist_backend="nccl", # distributed backend
... world_size=8 # number of gpus to use (n_nodes x n_gpus_per_node),
... rank=5 # global gpu id,
... local_rank=1 # gpu id within a node,
... master_addr="localhost" # master address,
... master_port="12345" # master port,
... )
```

See this [example script](https://github.com/clementchadebec/benchmark_VAE/blob/main/examples/scripts/distributed_training_imagenet.py) that defines a multi-gpu VQVAE training on ImageNet dataset. Please note that the way the distributed environnement variables (`world_size`, `rank` ...) are recovered may be specific to the cluster and launcher you use.

For each dataset, we provide the benchmarking scripts [here](https://github.com/clementchadebec/benchmark_VAE/tree/main/examples/scripts)

## Sharing your models with the HuggingFace Hub 🤗
Pythae also allows you to share your models on the [HuggingFace Hub](https://huggingface.co/models). To do so you need:
- a valid HuggingFace account
- the package `huggingface_hub` installed in your virtual env. If not you can install it with
```
$ python -m pip install huggingface_hub
```
- to be logged in to your HuggingFace account using
```
$ huggingface-cli login
```

### Uploading a model to the Hub
Any pythae model can be easily uploaded using the method `push_to_hf_hub`
```python
>>> my_vae_model.push_to_hf_hub(hf_hub_path="your_hf_username/your_hf_hub_repo")
```
**Note:** If `your_hf_hub_repo` already exists and is not empty, files will be overridden. In case,
the repo `your_hf_hub_repo` does not exist, a folder having the same name will be created.

### Downloading models from the Hub
Equivalently, you can download or reload any Pythae's model directly from the Hub using the method `load_from_hf_hub`
```python
>>> from pythae.models import AutoModel
>>> my_downloaded_vae = AutoModel.load_from_hf_hub(hf_hub_path="path_to_hf_repo")
```

## Monitoring your experiments with `wandb` 🧪
Pythae also integrates the experiment tracking tool [wandb](https://wandb.ai/) allowing users to store their configs, monitor their trainings and compare runs through a graphic interface. To be able use this feature you will need:
- a valid wandb account
- the package `wandb` installed in your virtual env. If not you can install it with
```
$ pip install wandb
```
- to be logged in to your wandb account using
```
$ wandb login
```

### Creating a `WandbCallback`
Launching an experiment monitoring with `wandb` in pythae is pretty simple. The only thing a user needs to do is create a `WandbCallback` instance...

```python
>>> # Create you callback
>>> from pythae.trainers.training_callbacks import WandbCallback
>>> callbacks = [] # the TrainingPipeline expects a list of callbacks
>>> wandb_cb = WandbCallback() # Build the callback
>>> # SetUp the callback
>>> wandb_cb.setup(
... training_config=your_training_config, # training config
... model_config=your_model_config, # model config
... project_name="your_wandb_project", # specify your wandb project
... entity_name="your_wandb_entity", # specify your wandb entity
... )
>>> callbacks.append(wandb_cb) # Add it to the callbacks list
```
...and then pass it to the `TrainingPipeline`.
```python
>>> pipeline = TrainingPipeline(
... training_config=config,
... model=model
... )
>>> pipeline(
... train_data=train_dataset,
... eval_data=eval_dataset,
... callbacks=callbacks # pass the callbacks to the TrainingPipeline and you are done!
... )
>>> # You can log to https://wandb.ai/your_wandb_entity/your_wandb_project to monitor your training
```
See the detailed tutorial

## Monitoring your experiments with `mlflow` 🧪
Pythae also integrates the experiment tracking tool [mlflow](https://mlflow.org/) allowing users to store their configs, monitor their trainings and compare runs through a graphic interface. To be able use this feature you will need:
- the package `mlfow` installed in your virtual env. If not you can install it with
```
$ pip install mlflow
```

### Creating a `MLFlowCallback`
Launching an experiment monitoring with `mlfow` in pythae is pretty simple. The only thing a user needs to do is create a `MLFlowCallback` instance...

```python
>>> # Create you callback
>>> from pythae.trainers.training_callbacks import MLFlowCallback
>>> callbacks = [] # the TrainingPipeline expects a list of callbacks
>>> mlflow_cb = MLFlowCallback() # Build the callback
>>> # SetUp the callback
>>> mlflow_cb.setup(
... training_config=your_training_config, # training config
... model_config=your_model_config, # model config
... run_name="mlflow_cb_example", # specify your mlflow run
... )
>>> callbacks.append(mlflow_cb) # Add it to the callbacks list
```
...and then pass it to the `TrainingPipeline`.
```python
>>> pipeline = TrainingPipeline(
... training_config=config,
... model=model
... )
>>> pipeline(
... train_data=train_dataset,
... eval_data=eval_dataset,
... callbacks=callbacks # pass the callbacks to the TrainingPipeline and you are done!
... )
```
you can visualize your metric by running the following in the directory where the `./mlruns`
```bash
$ mlflow ui
```
See the detailed tutorial

## Monitoring your experiments with `comet_ml` 🧪
Pythae also integrates the experiment tracking tool [comet_ml](https://www.comet.com/signup?utm_source=pythae&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=AMS_US_EN_SNUP_Pythae_Comet_Integration) allowing users to store their configs, monitor their trainings and compare runs through a graphic interface. To be able use this feature you will need:
- the package `comet_ml` installed in your virtual env. If not you can install it with
```
$ pip install comet_ml
```

### Creating a `CometCallback`
Launching an experiment monitoring with `comet_ml` in pythae is pretty simple. The only thing a user needs to do is create a `CometCallback` instance...

```python
>>> # Create you callback
>>> from pythae.trainers.training_callbacks import CometCallback
>>> callbacks = [] # the TrainingPipeline expects a list of callbacks
>>> comet_cb = CometCallback() # Build the callback
>>> # SetUp the callback
>>> comet_cb.setup(
... training_config=training_config, # training config
... model_config=model_config, # model config
... api_key="your_comet_api_key", # specify your comet api-key
... project_name="your_comet_project", # specify your wandb project
... #offline_run=True, # run in offline mode
... #offline_directory='my_offline_runs' # set the directory to store the offline runs
... )
>>> callbacks.append(comet_cb) # Add it to the callbacks list
```
...and then pass it to the `TrainingPipeline`.
```python
>>> pipeline = TrainingPipeline(
... training_config=config,
... model=model
... )
>>> pipeline(
... train_data=train_dataset,
... eval_data=eval_dataset,
... callbacks=callbacks # pass the callbacks to the TrainingPipeline and you are done!
... )
>>> # You can log to https://comet.com/your_comet_username/your_comet_project to monitor your training
```
