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
