Pytorch中lr_scheduler.ReduceLROnPlateau调整学习率
Pytorch中torch.optim.lr/_scheduler有很多可用于调整学习率的类
笔者最近接触到ReduceLROnPlateau这个类，在此记录下该类的使用方法及作用，作为学习笔记。
该类的源码如下：
class ReduceLROnPlateau(object):
"""Reduce learning rate when a metric has stopped improving.
Models often benefit from reducing the learning rate by a factor
of 2-10 once learning stagnates. This scheduler reads a metrics
quantity and if no improvement is seen for a 'patience' number
of epochs, the learning rate is reduced.
Args:
optimizer (Optimizer): Wrapped optimizer.
mode (str): One of `min`, `max`. In `min` mode, lr will
be reduced when the quantity monitored has stopped
decreasing; in `max` mode it will be reduced when the
quantity monitored has stopped increasing. Default: 'min'.
factor (float): Factor by which the learning rate will be
reduced. new_lr = lr * factor. Default: 0.1.
patience (int): Number of epochs with no improvement after
which learning rate will be reduced. For example, if
`patience = 2`, then we will ignore the first 2 epochs
with no improvement, and will only decrease the LR after the
3rd epoch if the loss still hasn't improved then.
Default: 10.
threshold (float): Threshold for measuring the new optimum,
to only focus on significant changes. Default: 1e-4.
threshold_mode (str): One of `rel`, `abs`. In `rel` mode,
dynamic_threshold = best * ( 1 + threshold ) in 'max'
mode or best * ( 1 - threshold ) in `min` mode.
In `abs` mode, dynamic_threshold = best + threshold in
`max` mode or best - threshold in `min` mode. Default: 'rel'.
cooldown (int): Number of epochs to wait before resuming
normal operation after lr has been reduced. Default: 0.
min_lr (float or list): A scalar or a list of scalars. A
lower bound on the learning rate of all param groups
or each group respectively. Default: 0.
eps (float): Minimal decay applied to lr. If the difference
between new and old lr is smaller than eps, the update is
ignored. Default: 1e-8.
verbose (bool): If ``True``, prints a message to stdout for
each update. Default: ``False``.
Example:
>>> optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.1, momentum=0.9)
>>> scheduler = ReduceLROnPlateau(optimizer, 'min')
>>> for epoch in range(10):
>>> train(...)
>>> val_loss = validate(...)
>>> # Note that step should be called after validate()
>>> scheduler.step(val_loss)

lr_scheduler.step(loss)如上一段代码，则是根据观测loss变化调整学习率的，如果loss在3个epoch后不下降的话则将学习率缩小10倍。
