## About Weights & Biases |
|
|
|
Think of [W&B](https://wandb.ai/site?utm_campaign=repo_yolo_wandbtutorial) like GitHub for machine learning models. With a few lines of code, save everything you need to debug, compare and reproduce your models — architecture, hyperparameters, git commits, model weights, GPU usage, and even datasets and predictions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used by top researchers including teams at OpenAI, Lyft, Github, and MILA, W&B is part of the new standard of best practices for machine learning. How W&B can help you optimize your machine learning workflows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [Debug](https://wandb.ai/wandb/getting-started/reports/Visualize-Debug-Machine-Learning-Models--VmlldzoyNzY5MDk#Free-2) model performance in real time |
|
|
|
* [GPU usage](https://wandb.ai/wandb/getting-started/reports/Visualize-Debug-Machine-Learning-Models--VmlldzoyNzY5MDk#System-4), visualized automatically |
|
|
|
* [Custom charts](https://wandb.ai/wandb/customizable-charts/reports/Powerful-Custom-Charts-To-Debug-Model-Peformance--VmlldzoyNzY4ODI) for powerful, extensible visualization |
|
|
|
* [Share insights](https://wandb.ai/wandb/getting-started/reports/Visualize-Debug-Machine-Learning-Models--VmlldzoyNzY5MDk#Share-8) interactively with collaborators |
|
|
|
* [Optimize hyperparameters](https://docs.wandb.com/sweeps) efficiently |
|
|
|
* [Track](https://docs.wandb.com/artifacts) datasets, pipelines, and production models |

## First-Time Setup |
|
|
|
<details open> |

<summary> Toggle Details </summary> |
|
|
|
When you first train, W&B will prompt you to create a new account and will generate an **API key** for you. If you are an existing user you can retrieve your key from https://wandb.ai/authorize. This key is used to tell W&B where to log your data. You only need to supply your key once, and then it is remembered on the same device. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
W&B will create a cloud **project** (default is 'YOLOv5') for your training runs, and each new training run will be provided a unique run **name** within that project as project/name. You can also manually set your project and run name as: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell |
|
|
|
$ python train.py --project ... --name ... |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|

Run information streams from your environment to the W&B cloud console as you train. This allows you to monitor and even cancel runs in <b>realtime</b> . All important information is logged: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Training & Validation losses |
|
|
|
* Metrics: Precision, Recall, mAP@0.5, mAP@0.5:0.95 |
|
|
|
* Learning Rate over time |
|
|
|
* A bounding box debugging panel, showing the training progress over time |
|
|
|
* GPU: Type, **GPU Utilization**, power, temperature, **CUDA memory usage** |
|
|
|
* System: Disk I/0, CPU utilization, RAM memory usage |
|
|
|
* Your trained model as W&B Artifact |
|
|
|
* Environment: OS and Python types, Git repository and state, **training command** |

## Advanced Usage |
|
|
|
You can leverage W&B artifacts and Tables integration to easily visualize and manage your datasets, models and training evaluations. Here are some quick examples to get you started. |
|
|
|
<details open> |
|
|
|
<h3>1. Visualize and Version Datasets</h3> |
|
|
|
Log, visualize, dynamically query, and understand your data with <a href='https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/data-vis/tables'>W&B Tables</a>. You can use the following command to log your dataset as a W&B Table. This will generate a <code>{dataset}_wandb.yaml</code> file which can be used to train from dataset artifact. |
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python utils/logger/wandb/log_dataset.py --project ... --name ... --data .. </code> |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
<h3> 2: Train and Log Evaluation simultaneousy </h3> |
|
|
|
This is an extension of the previous section, but it'll also training after uploading the dataset. <b> This also evaluation Table</b> |
|
|
|
Evaluation table compares your predictions and ground truths across the validation set for each epoch. It uses the references to the already uploaded datasets, |
|
|
|
so no images will be uploaded from your system more than once. |
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python utils/logger/wandb/log_dataset.py --data .. --upload_data </code> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
</details> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3> 3: Train using dataset artifact </h3> |
|
|
|
When you upload a dataset as described in the first section, you get a new config file with an added `_wandb` to its name. This file contains the information that |
|
|
|
can be used to train a model directly from the dataset artifact. <b> This also logs evaluation </b> |
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python utils/logger/wandb/log_dataset.py --data {data}_wandb.yaml </code> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
</details> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3> 4: Save model checkpoints as artifacts </h3> |
|
|
|
To enable saving and versioning checkpoints of your experiment, pass `--save_period n` with the base cammand, where `n` represents checkpoint interval. |
|
|
|
You can also log both the dataset and model checkpoints simultaneously. If not passed, only the final model will be logged |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python train.py --save_period 1 </code> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

<h3> 5: Resume runs from checkpoint artifacts. </h3> |
|
|
|
Any run can be resumed using artifacts if the <code>--resume</code> argument starts with <code>wandb-artifact://</code> prefix followed by the run path, i.e, <code>wandb-artifact://username/project/runid </code>. This doesn't require the model checkpoint to be present on the local system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python train.py --resume wandb-artifact://{run_path} </code> |

<h3> 6: Resume runs from dataset artifact & checkpoint artifacts. </h3> |
|
|
|
<b> Local dataset or model checkpoints are not required. This can be used to resume runs directly on a different device </b> |
|
|
|
The syntax is same as the previous section, but you'll need to lof both the dataset and model checkpoints as artifacts, i.e, set bot <code>--upload_dataset</code> or |
|
|
|
train from <code>_wandb.yaml</code> file and set <code>--save_period</code> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<details> |
|
|
|
<summary> <b>Usage</b> </summary> |
|
|
|
<b>Code</b> <code> $ python train.py --resume wandb-artifact://{run_path} </code> |

<h3> Reports </h3> |
|
|
|
W&B Reports can be created from your saved runs for sharing online. Once a report is created you will receive a link you can use to publically share your results. Here is an example report created from the COCO128 tutorial trainings of all four YOLOv5 models ([link](https://wandb.ai/glenn-jocher/yolov5_tutorial/reports/YOLOv5-COCO128-Tutorial-Results--VmlldzozMDI5OTY)). |
