catalyst

Accelerated Deep Learning R&D

Catalyst is a PyTorch framework for Deep Learning Research and Development. It focuses on reproducibility, rapid experimentation, and codebase reuse so you can create something new rather than write yet another train loop.
Break the cycle – use the Catalyst!

Overview

Catalyst helps you implement compact but full-featured Deep Learning pipelines with just a few lines of code. You get a training loop with metrics, early-stopping, model checkpointing, and other features without the boilerplate.

Installation

Generic installation:

pip install -U catalyst

Specialized versions, extra requirements might apply

pip install catalyst[ml]         # installs ML-based Catalyst

Tests

All Catalyst code, features, and pipelines are fully tested. We also have our own catalyst-codestyle and a corresponding pre-commit hook. During testing, we train a variety of different models: image classification, image segmentation, text classification, GANs, and much more. We then compare their convergence metrics in order to verify the correctness of the training procedure and its reproducibility. As a result, Catalyst provides fully tested and reproducible best practices for your deep learning research and development.
