Ensemble PyTorch

A unified ensemble framework for pytorch to easily improve the performance and robustness of your deep learning model. Ensemble-PyTorch is part of the pytorch ecosystem, which requires the project to be well maintained.

Installation

pip install torchensemble

Example

from torchensemble import VotingClassifier # voting is a classic ensemble strategy # Load data train_loader = DataLoader(...) test_loader = DataLoader(...) # Define the ensemble ensemble = VotingClassifier( estimator=base_estimator, # estimator is your pytorch model n_estimators=10, # number of base estimators ) # Set the optimizer ensemble.set_optimizer( "Adam", # type of parameter optimizer lr=learning_rate, # learning rate of parameter optimizer weight_decay=weight_decay, # weight decay of parameter optimizer ) # Set the learning rate scheduler ensemble.set_scheduler( "CosineAnnealingLR", # type of learning rate scheduler T_max=epochs, # additional arguments on the scheduler ) # Train the ensemble ensemble.fit( train_loader, epochs=epochs, # number of training epochs ) # Evaluate the ensemble acc = ensemble.evaluate(test_loader) # testing accuracy
