Tiny Torchtest

coverage

A Tiny Test Suite for pytorch based Machine Learning models, inspired by mltest. Chase Roberts lists out 4 basic tests in his medium post about mltest. tinytorchtest is mostly a pytorch port of mltest (which was written for tensorflow).


Forked from BrainPugh who forked the repo from suriyadeepan.

Tiny torchtest actually has more features and supports more models than torchtest - albeit with fewer dependencies. The prefix "tiny" is used to highlight that this is small test suite that provides sanity checks rather than testing for convergence.

Notable changes:

  • Support for models to have multiple positional arguments.

  • Support for unsupervised learning.

  • Support for models that output a tuple or list of tensors.

  • Object orientated implementation.

  • Easily reproducible tests - thanks to the object orientated implementation!

  • Fewer requirements (due to streamlining testing).

  • More comprehensive internal unit tests.

  • This repository is still active. I've created an issue to double check but it looks like the original maintainer is no longer actioning pull requests.


Installation

pip install --upgrade tinytorchtest

Usage

# imports for examples
import torch
import torch.nn as nn

Variables Change

from tinytorchtest import tinytorchtest as ttt

# We'll be using a simple linear model
model = nn.Linear(20, 2)

# For this example, we'll pretend we have a classification problem
# and create some random inputs and outputs.
inputs = torch.randn(20, 20)
targets = torch.randint(0, 2, (20,)).long()
batch = [inputs, targets]

# Next we'll need a loss function
loss_fn = nn.functional.cross_entropy()

# ... and an optimisation function
optim = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())

# Lets set up the test object
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model, loss_fn, optim, batch)

# Now we've got our tiny test object, lets run some tests!
# What are the variables?
print('Our list of parameters', [ np[0] for np in model.named_parameters() ])

# Do they change after a training step?
#  Let's run a train step and see
test.test(test_vars_change=True)
""" FAILURE """
# Let's try to break this, so the test fails
params_to_train = [ np[1] for np in model.named_parameters() if np[0] is not 'bias' ]
# Run test now
test.test(test_vars_change=True)
# YES! bias did not change

Variables Don't Change

# What if bias is not supposed to change, by design?
#  Let's test to see if bias remains the same after training
test.test(non_train_vars=[('bias', model.bias)])
# It does! Good. Now, let's move on.

Output Range

# NOTE : bias is fixed (not trainable)
test.test(output_range=(-2, 2), test_output_range=True)

# Seems to work...
""" FAILURE """
#  Let's tweak the model to fail the test.
model.bias = nn.Parameter(2 + torch.randn(2, ))

# We'll still use the same loss function, optimiser and batch
# from earlier; however this time we've tweaked the bias of the model.
# As it's a new model, we'll need a new tiny test object.
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch)

test.test(output_range=(-1, 1), test_output_range=True)

# As expected, it fails; yay!

NaN Tensors

""" FAILURE """

# Again, keeping everything the same but tweaking the model
model.bias = nn.Parameter(float('NaN') * torch.randn(2, ))

test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch)

test.test(test_nan_vals=True)
# This test should fail as we've got 'NaN' values in the outputs.

Inf Tensors

""" FAILURE """
model.bias = nn.Parameter(float('Inf') * torch.randn(2, ))

test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch)

test.test(test_inf_vals=True)
# Again, this will fail as we've now got 'Inf' values in our model outputs.

Multi-argument models

# Everything we've done works for models with multi-arguments

# Let's define a network that takes some input features along 
# with a 3D spacial coordinate and predicts a single value.
# Sure, we could perform the concatenation before we pass 
# our inputs to the model but let's say that it's much easier to
# do it this way. Maybe as you're working tightly with other codes
# and you want to match your inputs with the other code.
class MutliArgModel(torch.nn.Module):
	def __init__(self):
		self.layers = torch.nn.Linear(8, 1)
	def foward(self, data, x, y, z):
		inputs = torch.cat((data, x, y, z), dim=1)
		return self.layers(nn_input)
model = MultiArgModel()

# This looks a bit more like a regression problem so we'll redefine our loss 
# function to be something more appropriate.
loss_fn = torch.nn.MSELoss()

# We'll stick with the Adam optimiser but for completeness lets redefine it below
optim = Adam(model.parameters())

# We'll also need some new data for this model
inputs = (
	torch.rand(10, 5), # data
	torch.rand(10, 1), # x
	torch.rand(10, 1), # y
	torch.rand(10, 1), # z
)
outputs = torch.rand(10,1)
batch = [inputs, outputs]
		
# Next we initialise our tiny test object
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch)

# Now lets run some tests
test.test(
	train_vars=list(model.named_parameters()),
	test_vars_change=True,
	test_inf_vals=True,
	test_nan_vals=True,
)
# Great! Everything works as before but with models that take multiple inputs.

Models with tuple or list outputs

# Now what about models that output a tuple or list of tensors?
# This could be for something like a variation auto-encoder
# or anything where it's more convienient to separate 
# internal networks.

# Lets define a model
class MultiOutputModel(nn.Module):
	def __init__(self, in_size, hidden_size, out_size, num_outputs):
		super().__init__()

		# This network is common for all predictions.
		nets = [nn.Linear(in_size, hidden_size)] 

		# These networks operate separately (in parallel)
		for _ in range(num_outputs):
			nets.append(nn.Linear(hidden_size, out_size))
		self.nets = nn.ModuleList(nets)

	def forward(self, x):
		# Passes through the first network
		x = self.nets[0](x)

		# Returns a list of the seprate network predictions
		return [net(x) for net in self.nets[1:]]

# 10 features, 5 hidden nodes, 1 output node, 3 output models
model = MultiOutputModel(10, 5, 1, 3)

# Creates a batch with 100 samples.
batch = [torch.rand(100, 10), torch.rand(100, 1)]

# Optimiser...
optim = torch.optim.Adam([p for p in model.parameters() if p.requires_grad])

# Here we'll have to define a custom loss function to deal with the multiple outputs
# For now, I'll use something trivial (and quite meaningless).
def _loss(outputs, target):
	loss_list = [torch.abs(output - target) ** p for p, output in enumerate(outputs)]
	return torch.mean(torch.tensor(loss_list))

# Setup test suite
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model, _loss, optim, batch, supervised=True)

# Run the tests we want to run!
test.test(
	train_vars=list(model.named_parameters()),
	test_vars_change=True,
	test_inf_vals=True,
	test_nan_vals=True,
)

# Great! Everything works as before but with model with tuple or list outputs.

Unsupervised learning

# We've looked a lot at supervised learning examples
# but what about unsupervised learning?

# Lets define a simple model
model = nn.Linear(20, 2)

# Now our inputs - notice there are no labels so we just have inputs in our batch
batch = torch.randn(20, 20)

# Here we'll write a very basic loss function that represents a reconstruction loss.
# This is actually a mean absolute distance loss function.
# This would typically be used for something like an auto-encoder.
# The important thing to note is tinytorchtest expects the loss to be loss(outputs, inputs).
def loss_fn(output, input):
	return torch.mean(torch.abs(output - input))

# We set supervised to false, to let the test suite
# know that there aren't any targets or correct labels.
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch, supervised=False)

# Now lets run some tests
test.test(
	train_vars=list(model.named_parameters()),
	test_vars_change=True,
	test_inf_vals=True,
	test_nan_vals=True,
)
# Great! Everything works as before but with unsupervised models.

Testing the GPU

# Some models really need GPU availability.
# We can get our test suite to fail when the GPU isn't available.

# Sticking with the unsupervised example
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch, supervised=False)

# Now lets make sure the GPU is available.
test.test(test_gpu_available=True)
# This test will fail if the GPU isn't available. Your CPU can thank you later.

# We can also explitly ask that our model and tensors be moved to the GPU
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch, supervised=False, device='cuda:0')

# Now all future tests will be run on the GPU

Reproducible tests

# When unit testing our models it's good practice to have reproducable results.
# For this, we can spefiy a seed when getting our tiny test object.
test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model, loss_fn, optim, batch, seed=42)

# This seed will be called before running each test so the results should always be the same
# regardless of the order they are called.

Debugging

torchtest\torchtest.py", line 151, in _var_change_helper
assert not torch.equal(p0, p1)
RuntimeError: Expected object of backend CPU but got backend CUDA for argument #2 'other'

When you are making use of a GPU, you should explicitly specify device=cuda:0. By default device is set to cpu. See issue #1 for more information.

test = ttt.TinyTorchTest(model , loss_fn, optim, batch, device='cuda:0')
