Installation

Stable Release

As of now, torchfl is available on PyPI and can be installed using the following command in your terminal:

$ pip install torchfl

This is the preferred method to install torchfl with the most stable release. If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Examples and Usage

Although torchfl is primarily built for quick prototyping of federated learning experiments, the models, datasets, and abstractions can also speed up the non-federated learning experiments. In this section, we will explore examples and usages under both the settings.

Non-Federated Learning

The following steps should be followed on a high-level to train a non-federated learning experiment. We are using the EMNIST (MNIST) dataset and densenet121 for this example.

  1. Import the relevant modules.

    from torchfl.datamodules.emnist import EMNISTDataModule
from torchfl.models.wrapper.emnist import MNISTEMNIST
    import pytorch_lightning as pl
from pytorch_lightning.loggers import TensorBoardLogger
from pytorch_lightning.callbacks import (
	ModelCheckpoint,
	LearningRateMonitor,
	DeviceStatsMonitor,
	ModelSummary,
	ProgressBar,
	...
)

    For more details, view the full list of PyTorch Lightning callbacks and loggers on the official website.

  2. Setup the PyTorch Lightning trainer.

    trainer = pl.Trainer(
	...
	logger=[
		TensorBoardLogger(
			name=experiment_name,
			save_dir=os.path.join(checkpoint_save_path, experiment_name),
		)
	],
	callbacks=[
		ModelCheckpoint(save_weights_only=True, mode="max", monitor="val_acc"),
		LearningRateMonitor("epoch"),
		DeviceStatsMonitor(),
		ModelSummary(),
		ProgressBar(),
	],
	...
)

    More details about the PyTorch Lightning Trainer API can be found on their official website.

  3. Prepare the dataset using the wrappers provided by torchfl.datamodules.

    datamodule = EMNISTDataModule(dataset_name="mnist")
datamodule.prepare_data()
datamodule.setup()

  4. Initialize the model using the wrappers provided by torchfl.models.wrappers.

    # check if the model can be loaded from a given checkpoint
if (checkpoint_load_path) and os.path.isfile(checkpoint_load_path):
	model = MNISTEMNIST(
		"densenet121", "adam", {"lr": 0.001}
		).load_from_checkpoint(checkpoint_load_path)
else:
	pl.seed_everything(42)
	model = MNISTEMNIST("densenet121", "adam", {"lr": 0.001})
	trainer.fit(model, datamodule.train_dataloader(), datamodule.val_dataloader())

  5. Collect the results.

    val_result = trainer.test(
	model, test_dataloaders=datamodule.val_dataloader(), verbose=True
)
test_result = trainer.test(
	model, test_dataloaders=datamodule.test_dataloader(), verbose=True
)

  6. The corresponding files for the experiment (model checkpoints and logger metadata) will be stored at default_root_dir argument given to the PyTorch Lightning Trainer object in Step 2. For this experiment, we use the Tensorboard logger. To view the logs (and related plots and metrics), go to the default_root_dir path and find the Tensorboard log files. Upload the files to the Tensorboard Development portal following the instructions here. Once the log files are uploaded, a unique url to your experiment will be generated which can be shared with ease! An example can be found here.

  7. Note that, torchfl is compatible with all the loggers supported by PyTorch Lightning. More information about the PyTorch Lightning loggers can be found here.

Federated Learning

The following steps should be followed on a high-level to train a federated learning experiment.

  1. Pick a dataset and use the datamodules to create federated data shards with iid or non-iid distribution. 
    def get_datamodule() -> EMNISTDataModule:
	datamodule: EMNISTDataModule = EMNISTDataModule(
		dataset_name=SUPPORTED_DATASETS_TYPE.MNIST, train_batch_size=10
	)
	datamodule.prepare_data()
	datamodule.setup()
	return datamodule

agent_data_shard_map = get_agent_data_shard_map().federated_iid_dataloader(
    num_workers=fl_params.num_agents,
    workers_batch_size=fl_params.local_train_batch_size,
)
  2. Use the TorchFL agents module and the models module to initialize the global model, agents, and distribute their models. 
    def initialize_agents(
	fl_params: FLParams, agent_data_shard_map: Dict[int, DataLoader]
) -> List[V1Agent]:
	"""Initialize agents."""
	agents = []
	for agent_id in range(fl_params.num_agents):
		agent = V1Agent(
			id=agent_id,
			model=MNISTEMNIST(
				model_name=EMNIST_MODELS_ENUM.MOBILENETV3SMALL,
				optimizer_name=OPTIMIZERS_TYPE.ADAM,
				optimizer_hparams={"lr": 0.001},
				model_hparams={"pre_trained": True, "feature_extract": True},
				fl_hparams=fl_params,
			),
			data_shard=agent_data_shard_map[agent_id],
		)
		agents.append(agent)
	return agents

global_model = MNISTEMNIST(
    model_name=EMNIST_MODELS_ENUM.MOBILENETV3SMALL,
    optimizer_name=OPTIMIZERS_TYPE.ADAM,
    optimizer_hparams={"lr": 0.001},
    model_hparams={"pre_trained": True, "feature_extract": True},
    fl_hparams=fl_params,
)

all_agents = initialize_agents(fl_params, agent_data_shard_map)
  3. Initiliaze an FLParam object with the desired FL hyperparameters and pass it on to the Entrypoint object which will abstract the training. 
    fl_params = FLParams(
    experiment_name="iid_mnist_fedavg_10_agents_5_sampled_50_epochs_mobilenetv3small_latest",
    num_agents=10,
    global_epochs=10,
    local_epochs=2,
    sampling_ratio=0.5,
)
entrypoint = Entrypoint(
    global_model=global_model,
    global_datamodule=get_agent_data_shard_map(),
    fl_hparams=fl_params,
    agents=all_agents,
    aggregator=FedAvgAggregator(all_agents=all_agents),
    sampler=RandomSampler(all_agents=all_agents),
)
entrypoint.run()

For full federated learning example scripts, check examples/federated.

  10. Submit a pull request through the Github web interface.

  11. Once the pull request has been submitted, the continuous integration pipelines on Github Actions will be triggered. Ensure that all of them pass before one of the maintainers can review the request.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
    • Try adding new test cases for new features or enhancements and make changes to the CI pipelines accordingly.
    • Modify the existing tests (if required) for the bug fixes.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.md.
  3. The pull request should pass all the existing CI pipelines (Github Actions) and the new/modified workflows should be added as required.
