PyTorch中的学习率预热(warmup)

      PyTorch提供了学习率调度器(learning rate schedulers)，用于在训练过程中实现各种调整学习率的方法。实现在torch.optim.lr_scheduler.py中，根据epoch数调整学习率。大多数学习率调度器可以称为背对背(back-to-back)，也称为链式调度器，结果是每个调度器都一个接一个地应用于前一个调度器获得的学习率。学习率调度器应在优化器更新(optimizer.step())后应用。

      warmup是 ResNet 论文中提出的方法：We further explore n = 18 that leads to a 110-layer ResNet. In this case, we find that the initial learning rate of 0.1 is slightly too large to start converging. so we use 0.01 to warm up the training until the training error is below 80% (about 400 iterations), and then go back to 0.1 and continue training. The rest of the learning schedule is as done previously.

      warmup是一种学习率优化方法。使用warmup可以在训练初期使用较小的学习率进行稳定的模型训练，然后逐渐增加学习率以提高收敛速度和模型性能。有助于减缓模型在初始阶段对mini-batch的提前过拟合现象，保持分布的平稳。有助于保持模型深层的稳定性。

      由于刚开始训练时，模型的权重是随机初始化的，loss比较大，此时若选择一个较大的学习率，可能带来模型的不稳定(振荡)，选择warmup的方式，可以使得开始训练的几个epoch或者一些step内学习率较小，在预热的小学习率下，模型可以慢慢趋于稳定，等模型相对稳定后再选择预先设置的学习率进行训练，有助于保持模型深层的稳定性，使得模型收敛速度变得更快，模型效果更佳。最终稳定阶段降低学习率更容易找到局部最优，可以增加batch size，这样更稳定。

      如果收敛太快，很快就在训练集上过拟合了，可以降低学习率，如果训练过慢或不收敛，则可以增加学习率。

      一般学习率设置：上升----平稳----下降。

      PyTorch中的学习率预热方法：假设optimizer中设置的学习率为lr

      (1).ConstantLR(optimizer, factor, total_iters)：前total_iters次，学习率为lr*factor，以后学习率变为lr。

      (2).LinearLR(optimizer, start_factor, end_factor, total_iters)：前total_iters次，学习率从lr*start_factor逐次增加，以后学习率变为lr*end_factor。

      (3).LambdaLR(optimizer, lr_lambda):lr_lambda为lambda函数，如为以下：则学习率为lr*0.95的epoch次方。

lr_lambda = lambda epoch: 0.95 ** epoch

      (4).ExponentialLR(optimizer, gamma)：学习率为lr*gamma的epoch次方。

      (5).StepLR(optimizer, step_size, gamma)：学习率为lr*gamma的(当前opoch/step_size)次方。

      (6).MultiStepLR(optimizer, milestones, gamma)：milestones为列表，如为[5,10,50,200]，则epoch<5时，学习率为lr；epoch在[5,10)之间时为lr*gamma的1次方；epoch在[10,50)之间时为lr*gamma的2次方，依次类推。与StepLR相比，它允许学习率在不同的时间点以不同的步长衰减。

      (7).CosineAnnealingLR(optimizer, T_max, eta_min)：学习率按照余弦函数进行周期性调整，每个周期结束时重置为初始学习率。T_max为周期内的最大迭代次数，eta_min为最小学习率。

      (8).ReduceLROnPlateau(optimizer, mode, factor, patience, threshold, threshold_mode, cooldown, min_lr, eps)：当验证集上的loss停止改进时，自动降低学习率。这种方法不需要预先定义学习率衰减的时间表，而是根据模型的表现动态调整。

      (9).CyclicLR(optimizer, base_lr, max_lr, ...)：学习率已恒定频率在给定的两个边界之间循环。

      (10).PolynomialLR(optimizer, total_iters, power)：使用多项式函数衰减学习率。当epoch大于total_iters时，后面的学习率都为0。
