Pytorch中lr_scheduler.ReduceLROnPlateau调整学习率

 Pytorch中torch.optim.lr/_scheduler有很多可用于调整学习率的类

笔者最近接触到ReduceLROnPlateau这个类，在此记录下该类的使用方法及作用，作为学习笔记。

该类的源码如下：

class ReduceLROnPlateau(object):
    """Reduce learning rate when a metric has stopped improving.
    Models often benefit from reducing the learning rate by a factor
    of 2-10 once learning stagnates. This scheduler reads a metrics
    quantity and if no improvement is seen for a 'patience' number
    of epochs, the learning rate is reduced.

    Args:
        optimizer (Optimizer): Wrapped optimizer.
        mode (str): One of `min`, `max`. In `min` mode, lr will
            be reduced when the quantity monitored has stopped
            decreasing; in `max` mode it will be reduced when the
            quantity monitored has stopped increasing. Default: 'min'.
        factor (float): Factor by which the learning rate will be
            reduced. new_lr = lr * factor. Default: 0.1.
        patience (int): Number of epochs with no improvement after
            which learning rate will be reduced. For example, if
            `patience = 2`, then we will ignore the first 2 epochs
            with no improvement, and will only decrease the LR after the
            3rd epoch if the loss still hasn't improved then.
            Default: 10.
        threshold (float): Threshold for measuring the new optimum,
            to only focus on significant changes. Default: 1e-4.
        threshold_mode (str): One of `rel`, `abs`. In `rel` mode,
            dynamic_threshold = best * ( 1 + thre
