Inferno
Inferno is a little library providing utilities and convenience functions/classes around PyTorch. It's a work-in-progress, but the releases from v0.4 on should be fairly stable!
Free software: Apache Software License 2.0
Features
Current features include:
a basic Trainer class to encapsulate the training boilerplate (iteration/epoch loops, validation and checkpoint creation),
a graph API for building models with complex architectures, powered by networkx.
a submodule for torch.nn.Module-level parameter initialization,
a submodule for data preprocessing / transforms,
a callback API to enable flexible interaction with the trainer,
a submodule for volumetric datasets, and more!

To visualize the training progress, navigate to LOG_DIRECTORY and fire up tensorboard with
$ tensorboard --logdir=${PWD} --port=6007
and navigate to localhost:6007 with your browser.
Installation
Conda packages for python >= 3.6 for all distributions are availaible on conda-forge:
$ conda install -c pytorch -c conda-forge inferno
Future Features:
Planned features include:
a class to encapsulate Hogwild! training over multiple GPUs,
minimal shape inference with a dry-run,
proper packaging and documentation,
cutting-edge fresh-off-the-press implementations of what the future has in store. :)
