""" Title: Customizing what happens in `fit()` with JAX Author: [fchollet](https://twitter.com/fchollet) Date created: 2023/06/27 Last modified: 2023/06/27 Description: Overriding the training step of the Model class with JAX. Accelerator: GPU """ """ ## Introduction When you're doing supervised learning, you can use `fit()` and everything works smoothly. When you need to take control of every little detail, you can write your own training loop entirely from scratch. But what if you need a custom training algorithm, but you still want to benefit from the convenient features of `fit()`, such as callbacks, built-in distribution support, or step fusing? A core principle of Keras is **progressive disclosure of complexity**. You should always be able to get into lower-level workflows in a gradual way. You shouldn't fall off a cliff if the high-level functionality doesn't exactly match your use case. You should be able to gain more control over the small details while retaining a commensurate amount of high-level convenience. When you need to customize what `fit()` does, you should **override the training step function of the `Model` class**. This is the function that is called by `fit()` for every batch of data. You will then be able to call `fit()` as usual -- and it will be running your own learning algorithm. Note that this pattern does not prevent you from building models with the Functional API. You can do this whether you're building `Sequential` models, Functional API models, or subclassed models. Let's see how that works.

Internally, it calls `stateless_call()` and the built-in `compute_loss()`. - We implement a fully-stateless `train_step()` method to compute current metric values (including the loss) as well as updated values for the trainable variables, the optimizer variables, and the metric variables. Note that you can also take into account the `sample_weight` argument by: - Unpacking the data as `x, y, sample_weight = data` - Passing `sample_weight` to `compute_loss()` - Passing `sample_weight` alongside `y` and `y_pred` to metrics in `stateless_update_state()` """ class CustomModel(keras.Model): def compute_loss_and_updates( self, trainable_variables, non_trainable_variables, x, y, training=False, ): y_pred, non_trainable_variables = self.stateless_call( trainable_variables, non_trainable_variables, x, training=training, ) loss = self.compute_loss(x, y, y_pred) return loss, (y_pred, non_trainable_variables) def train_step(self, state, data): ( trainable_variables, non_trainable_variables, optimizer_variables, metrics_variables, ) = state x, y = data # Get the gradient function. grad_fn = jax.value_and_grad( self.compute_loss_and_updates, has_aux=True ) # Compute the gradients.
