Aidan Dempster 27b0f7ca0d Overhauled the tracker system (#172)
* Overhauled the tracker system
Separated the logging and saving capabilities
Changed creation to be consistent and initializing behavior to be defined by a class initializer instead of in the training script
Added class separation between different types of loaders and savers to make the system more verbose

* Changed the saver system to only save the checkpoint once

* Added better error handling for saving checkpoints

* Fixed an error where wandb would error when passed arbitrary kwargs

* Fixed variable naming issues for improved saver
Added more logging during long pauses

* Fixed which methods need to be dummy to immediatly return
Added the ability to set whether you find unused parameters

* Added more logging for when a wandb loader fails

## DALLE2 Training Configurations
For more complex configuration, we provide the option of using a configuration file instead of command line arguments.
### Decoder Trainer
The decoder trainer has 7 main configuration options. A full example of their use can be found in the [example decoder configuration](train_decoder_config.example.json).
**<ins>Unet</ins>:**
This is a single unet config, which belongs as an array nested under the decoder config as a list of `unets`
| Option | Required | Default | Description |
| ------ | -------- | ------- | ----------- |
| `dim` | Yes | N/A | The starting channels of the unet. |
| `image_embed_dim` | Yes | N/A | The dimension of the image embeddings. |
| `dim_mults` | No | `(1, 2, 4, 8)` | The growth factors of the channels. |
Any parameter from the `Unet` constructor can also be given here.
**<ins>Decoder</ins>:**
Defines the configuration options for the decoder model. The unets defined above will automatically be inserted.
| Option | Required | Default | Description |
| ------ | -------- | ------- | ----------- |
| `unets` | Yes | N/A | A list of unets, using the configuration above |
| `image_sizes` | Yes | N/A | The resolution of the image after each upsampling step. The length of this array should be the number of unets defined. |
| `image_size` | Yes | N/A | Not used. Can be any number. |
| `timesteps` | No | `1000` | The number of diffusion timesteps used for generation. |
| `loss_type` | No | `l2` | The loss function. Options are `l1`, `huber`, or `l2`. |
| `beta_schedule` | No | `cosine` | The noising schedule. Options are `cosine`, `linear`, `quadratic`, `jsd`, or `sigmoid`. |
| `learned_variance` | No | `True` | Whether to learn the variance. |
Any parameter from the `Decoder` constructor can also be given here.
**<ins>Data</ins>:**
Settings for creation of the dataloaders.
| Option | Required | Default | Description |
| ------ | -------- | ------- | ----------- |
| `webdataset_base_url` | Yes | N/A | The url of a shard in the webdataset with the shard replaced with `{}`[^1]. |
| `embeddings_url` | No | N/A | The url of the folder containing embeddings shards. Not required if embeddings are in webdataset. |
| `num_workers` | No | `4` | The number of workers used in the dataloader. |
| `batch_size` | No | `64` | The batch size. |
| `start_shard` | No | `0` | Defines the start of the shard range the dataset will recall. |
| `end_shard` | No | `9999999` | Defines the end of the shard range the dataset will recall. |
| `shard_width` | No | `6` | Defines the width of one webdataset shard number[^2]. |
| `index_width` | No | `4` | Defines the width of the index of a file inside a shard[^3]. |
| `splits` | No | `{ "train": 0.75, "val": 0.15, "test": 0.1 }` | Defines the proportion of shards that will be allocated to the training, validation, and testing datasets. |
| `shuffle_train` | No | `True` | Whether to shuffle the shards of the training dataset. |
| `resample_train` | No | `False` | If true, shards will be randomly sampled with replacement from the datasets making the epoch length infinite if a limit is not set. Cannot be enabled if `shuffle_train` is enabled. |
| `preprocessing` | No | `{ "ToTensor": True }` | Defines preprocessing applied to images from the datasets. |
[^1]: If your shard files have the paths `protocol://path/to/shard/00104.tar`, then the base url would be `protocol://path/to/shard/{}.tar`. If you are using a protocol like `s3`, you need to pipe the tars. For example `pipe:s3cmd get s3://bucket/path/{}.tar -`.
[^2]: This refers to the string length of the shard number for your webdataset shards. For instance, if your webdataset shard has the filename `00104.tar`, your shard length is 5.
[^3]: Inside the webdataset `tar`, you have files named something like `001045945.jpg`. 5 of these characters refer to the shard, and 4 refer to the index of the file in the webdataset (shard is `001041` and index is `5945`). The `index_width` in this case is 4.
**<ins>Train</ins>:**
Settings for controlling the training hyperparameters.
