Resume Training

Resuming training means continuing training from the state saved from some previous training, where the state includes the model’s weights, the state of the optimizer and the state of parameter scheduler.

Automatically resume training

Users can set the resume parameter of Runner to enable automatic training resumption. When resume is set to True, the Runner will try to resume from the latest checkpoint in work_dir automatically. If there is a latest checkpoint in work_dir (e.g. the training was interrupted during the last training), the training will be resumed from that checkpoint, otherwise (e.g. the last training did not have time to save the checkpoint or a new training task is started) the training will restart. Here is an example of how to enable automatic training resumption.

runner = Runner(
    model=ResNet18(),
    work_dir='./work_dir',
    train_dataloader=train_dataloader_cfg,
    optim_wrapper=dict(optimizer=dict(type='SGD', lr=0.001, momentum=0.9)),
    train_cfg=dict(by_epoch=True, max_epochs=3),
    resume=True,
)
runner.train()

Specify the checkpoint path

If you want to specify the path to resume training, you need to set load_from in addition to resume=True. Note that if only load_from is set without resume=True, then only the weights in the checkpoint will be loaded and training will be restarted, instead of continuing with the previous state.

runner = Runner(
    model=ResNet18(),
    work_dir='./work_dir',
    train_dataloader=train_dataloader_cfg,
    optim_wrapper=dict(optimizer=dict(type='SGD', lr=0.001, momentum=0.9)),
    train_cfg=dict(by_epoch=True, max_epochs=3),
    load_from='./work_dir/epoch_2.pth',
    resume=True,
)
runner.train()
