<p><a class="reference internal" href="#module-torch.optim" title="torch.optim"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.optim</span></code></a> is a package implementing various optimization algorithms.
Most commonly used methods are already supported, and the interface is general
enough, so that more sophisticated ones can be also easily integrated in the
future.</p>
<div class="section" id="how-to-use-an-optimizer">
<h2>How to use an optimizer<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-an-optimizer" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To use <a class="reference internal" href="#module-torch.optim" title="torch.optim"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.optim</span></code></a> you have to construct an optimizer object, that will hold
the current state and will update the parameters based on the computed gradients.</p>
<div class="section" id="constructing-it">
<h3>Constructing it<a class="headerlink" href="#constructing-it" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>To construct an <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.optim.Optimizer" title="torch.optim.Optimizer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Optimizer</span></code></a> you have to give it an iterable containing the
parameters (all should be <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code> s) to optimize. Then,
you can specify optimizer-specific options such as the learning rate, weight decay, etc.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you need to move a model to GPU via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cuda()</span></code>, please do so before
constructing optimizers for it. Parameters of a model after <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cuda()</span></code> will
be different objects with those before the call.</p>
<p>In general, you should make sure that optimized parameters live in
consistent locations when optimizers are constructed and used.</p>
</div>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">optimizer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">optim</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">SGD</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">model</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parameters</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="n">lr</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.01</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">momentum</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">0.9</span><span class="p">)</span>

<h3>Per-parameter options<a class="headerlink" href="#per-parameter-options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#torch.optim.Optimizer" title="torch.optim.Optimizer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Optimizer</span></code></a> s also support specifying per-parameter options. To do this, instead
of passing an iterable of <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code> s, pass in an iterable of
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict" title="(in Python v3.7)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code></a> s. Each of them will define a separate parameter group, and should contain
a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">params</span></code> key, containing a list of parameters belonging to it. Other keys
should match the keyword arguments accepted by the optimizers, and will be used
as optimization options for this group.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>You can still pass options as keyword arguments. They will be used as
defaults, in the groups that didn’t override them. This is useful when you
only want to vary a single option, while keeping all others consistent
between parameter groups.</p>
</div>
<p>For example, this is very useful when one wants to specify per-layer learning rates:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">optim</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">SGD</span><span class="p">([</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This means that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">model.base</span></code>’s parameters will use the default learning rate of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1e-2</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">model.classifier</span></code>’s parameters will use a learning rate of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1e-3</span></code>, and a momentum of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0.9</span></code> will be used for all parameters.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="taking-an-optimization-step">
<h3>Taking an optimization step<a class="headerlink" href="#taking-an-optimization-step" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>All optimizers implement a <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.optim.Optimizer.step" title="torch.optim.Optimizer.step"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">step()</span></code></a> method, that updates the
parameters. It can be used in two ways:</p>
<div class="section" id="optimizer-step">
<h4><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step()</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#optimizer-step" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>This is a simplified version supported by most optimizers. The function can be
called once the gradients are computed using e.g.
<code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">backward()</span></code>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">for</span> <span class="nb">input</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">target</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">dataset</span><span class="p">:</span>

<h4><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step(closure)</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#optimizer-step-closure" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Some optimization algorithms such as Conjugate Gradient and LBFGS need to
reevaluate the function multiple times, so you have to pass in a closure that
allows them to recompute your model. The closure should clear the gradients,
compute the loss, and return it.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Prior to PyTorch 1.1.0, the learning rate scheduler was expected to be called before
the optimizer’s update; 1.1.0 changed this behavior in a BC-breaking way. If you use
the learning rate scheduler (calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler.step()</span></code>) before the optimizer’s update
(calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optimizer.step()</span></code>), this will skip the first value of the learning rate schedule.
If you are unable to reproduce results after upgrading to PyTorch 1.1.0, please check
if you are calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler.step()</span></code> at the wrong time.</p>
