1. 基本介绍

higher.innerloop_ctxhigher库的上下文管理器,用于创建内部循环(inner loop)的上下文,内部循环通常用于元学习场景,其中在模型参数更新的内部循环中进行一些额外的操作。

这个上下文管理器主要有五个参数:(详细请参考官方库说明)

higher.innerloop_ctx(model, opt, device=None, copy_initial_weights=True, override=None, track_higher_grads=True)
  • 第一个参数model是需要进行内部循环的模型,通常是你的元模型
  • 第二个参数opt是优化器,这是你用来更新模型参数的优化器
  • 第三个参数copy_initial_weights是一个布尔值,用于指定是否在每个内部循环之前复制初始权重,如果设置为True则表示在每个内部循环之前都会将模型的初始权重进行复制,以确保每个内部循环都从相同的初始权重开始。如果设置为False,则所有的内部循环共享相同的权重模型。
  • 第四个参数override是一个字典,例如override={'lr':lr_tensor, "momentum': momentum_tensor},用于指定在内部循环期间覆盖优化器的参数,比如在这里示例中,lr_tensormomentum_tensor是张量,用于指定内部循环期间覆盖的学习率和动量。
  • 第五个参数track_higher_grads是一个布尔值,用于跟踪更高阶的梯度,如果是True,则内部循环中计算的梯度将被跟踪以支持高阶的梯度计算,如果设置为False,则不会跟踪高阶梯度。

with语句块中,通过(fmodel, diffopt)获取内部循环的上下文。fmodel表示内部循环中的模型,diffopt表示内部循环中的优化器,在这个上下文中,你可以执行内部循环的计算和参数更新。

下面给出一个基本的使用示例,演示如何使用higher.innerloop_ctx,使用higher库需要习惯下列的转变

从通常使用pytorch的用法

model = MyModel()
opt = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())

for xs, ys in data:
    opt.zero_grad()
    logits = model(xs)
    loss = loss_function(logits, ys)
    loss.backward()
    opt.step()

转变到

model = MyModel()
opt = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())

with higher.innerloop_ctx(model, opt) as (fmodel, diffopt):
    for xs, ys in data:
        logits = fmodel(xs)  # modified `params` can also be passed as a kwarg
        loss = loss_function(logits, ys)  # no need to call loss.backwards()
        diffopt.step(loss)  # note that `step` must take `loss` as an argument!,这一步相当于使用了loss.backward()和opt.step()

    # At the end of your inner loop you can obtain these e.g. ...
    grad_of_grads = torch.autograd.grad(
        meta_loss_fn(fmodel.parameters()), fmodel.parameters(time=0))

训练模型和执行diffopt.step 来更新fmodel之间的区别在于,fmodel不会像原始部分中的opt.step()那样就地更新参数。 相反,每次调用 diffopt.step时都会以这样的方式创建新版本的参数,即fmodel将在下一步中使用新的参数,但所有以前的参数仍会保留。

运行的原理是什么呢?举个例子,fmodelfmodel.parameters(time=0)开始迭代(这里的time=0表示就是第0次迭代),当我们调用diffopt.stepN次之后,我们可以使用fmodel.parameters(time=i)来访问,其中i可以取到1N,并且我们仍然可以访问fmodel.parameters(time=0),这个结果和迭代之前是一样的,这是为什么呢?

因为fmodel的创建依赖于参数copy_initial_weights,如果copy_initial_weights=True,那么fmodel.parameters(time=0)是从原模型clone’d别且是detach’ed(即是从原模型克隆过来并且进行分离计算图了),如果copy_initial_weights=False,那么只是进行了clone’d并没有detach‘ed。

放一段原文在这里方便大家理解

I.e. fmodel starts with only fmodel.parameters(time=0) available, but after you called diffopt.step N times you can ask fmodel to give you fmodel.parameters(time=i) for any i up to N inclusive. Notice that fmodel.parameters(time=0) doesn’t change in this process at all, just every time fmodel is applied to some input it will use the latest version of parameters it currently has.

Now, what exactly is fmodel.parameters(time=0)? It is created here and depends on copy_initial_weights. If copy_initial_weights==True then fmodel.parameters(time=0) are clone’d and detach’ed parameters of model. Otherwise they are only clone’d, but not detach’ed!

That means that when we do meta-optimization step, the original model’s parameters will actually accumulate gradients if and only if copy_initial_weights==False. And in MAML we want to optimize model’s starting weights so we actually do need to get gradients from meta-optimization step.

2. Toy Example

            loss = ((out - y)**2).mean()
            diffopt.step(loss)

        print('  Final meta-loss: {0}'.format(meta_loss.item()))
        meta_loss.backward() # will only propagate gradient to original model parameter's `grad` if copy_initial_weight=False
        if verbose:
            print('  Gradient of final loss we got for lr and momentum: {0} and {1}'.format(lr_tensor.grad, momentum_tensor.grad))
            print('  If you change number of iterations "loops" to much larger number final loss will be stable and the values above will be smaller')
        return meta_loss.item()

# Now let's double-check `higher` library is actually doing what it promised to do, not just giving us

meta_opt.step()
meta_opt.zero_grad()
meta_step = - meta_lr * final_meta_gradient # how much meta_opt actually shifted inital weight value
# before we run inner loop third time, we update the meta parameter firstly.
meta_loss_val3 = run_inner_loop_once(model, verbose=False, copy_initial_weights=False)

meta_loss_gradient_approximation = (meta_loss_val3 - meta_loss_val2) / meta_step

print()
print('Side-by-side meta_loss_gradient_approximation and gradient computed by `higher` lib: {0:.4} VS {1:.4}'.format(meta_loss_gradient_approximation, final_meta_gradient))

结果如下

=================== Run Inner Loop First Time (copy_initial_weights=True) =================

Starting inner loop step j==0
    Representation of fmodel.parameters(time=0): [tensor([[-0.9915]], dtype=torch.float64, requires_grad=True)]

Let's print all intermediate parameters versions after inner loop is done:
    For j==0 parameter is: [tensor([[-0.9915]], dtype=torch.float64, requires_grad=True)]
    For j==1 parameter is: [tensor([[-0.1217]], dtype=torch.float64, grad_fn=)]

    For j==5 parameter is: [tensor([[3.3908]], dtype=torch.float64, grad_fn=)]

  Final meta-loss: 0.011927987982895929
  Gradient of final loss we got for lr and momentum: tensor([-1.6295]) and tensor([-0.9496])
  If you change number of iterations "loops" to much larger number final loss will be stable and the values above will be smaller

Let's see if we got any gradient for initial model parameters: None
