# PyTorch-Ignite internal meeting notes

## 2023-03-15

Attendees: Victor

### News

- GSoC: Student applications open soon 
- Docker hub Free Team sunsetting -> Submit OSS application => DONE

### Work plan

- [x] (Victor) Fix failing pytorch version tests on CI
- [ ] (Sadra) Finish Pytest PR. My initial solution depended on pytest reordering algorithm (in the sense that I assumed items are reordered in a way that if the next item does not use a high-scope fixture and current item does, so this item is the last dependent item and we could tear down the fixture pre-emptively) which did not take tests using non-parametrized fixtures into account so I changed the code to encompass all tests. Meanwhile I came across a weakness in the reordering algorithm affecting my solution as well so I attempted to resolve it. After that I found a better solution to the issue which is independent of the reordering . Now I'd better break the PR into three PRs:
    1. Pre-emptive fixture teardown
    2. Improve and simplify reordering algo.
    3. Improve reordering feature to consider items dependent on non-parametrized fixtures as well.

# Distributed Training Made Easy with PyTorch-Ignite

![PyTorch-Ignite logo](/_images/ignite_logo_mixed.svg)

Writing [agnostic](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_(data)>) [distributed code](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/dist_overview.html) that supports different platforms, hardware configurations (GPUs, TPUs) and communication frameworks is tedious. In this blog, we will discuss how [PyTorch-Ignite](https://pytorch.org/ignite/) solves this problem with minimal code change.

### News
 - Prepare for v0.4.11 release, which date ? -> begining december
     - create release branch
     - write release note
 - Sangho's blog post PR was merged and will be soon published https://labs.quansight.org/blog
 - Cross-post the content to https://pytorch-ignite.ai/blog/
     - https://github.com/pytorch-ignite/pytorch-ignite.ai
 
### Ideas 

- (Sadra) if you want to publish your pydata global content at https://pytorch-ignite.ai/blog/ ?

- Once mAP PR is merged, we can provide an object detection example using ignite, mAP and torchvision prototype transforms -> write a blog post and advertise on our website and torchvision repo.

```
acc = Accuracy()

acc.reset()

acc.update(o1)
acc.update(o2)
acc.update(o3)

v1 = acc.compute()
v1 = acc.compute()

acc.update(o4)
acc.update(o5)

v2 = acc.compute()  # <--- possibly wrong value here
```

Check above snippet

### Topics to discuss

> By the way, for all of us who are less senior members (and very busy) as Sylvain ;), let's do the following exercise:
please  pick from the list below or propose your own project that you could work on for 1-2 months and let's talk about them on the next tuesday. Everyone could present it and we can exchange on the pertinence of it. For example, for Priyansi it is writing how-to guides and tutorials.
Available high-prio projects are the following:
> - Model parallelism support (see roadmap and NF subproject)
> - Ref examples showcase (training models on our slurm infra + log on clearml)
> - Improve distributed tests (avoid writing manually all test_something_nccl, test_something_gloo etc, it should be code once and internally generate others)
> - Self-supervised learning toolkit (NF subproject)
> - Work on Code-Generator

Attendees: Priyansi, François, Sylvain

### News

- [PyTorch Developer Day 2021](https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-developer-day-2021/) : Deadline for submission is September 24, 2021.

### Standup

* Sylvain:
    * PyTorch Dev Day : could we highlight idist ? Given the upcoming deadline, an update is relevant.
    * Work with Arpan on mAP (OnGoing draft [#2130](https://github.com/pytorch/ignite/pull/2130)). Still a lot of work to do before a merge.
    * Final evaluation of GSoC to do until August 28th.
    * Contacted by Ishan about the implementation of Perplexity metric. Suggestion to work on a show case of BLEU and Rouge metrics to prepare this.

* François:
    * PR [#2090](https://github.com/pytorch/ignite/pull/2090) on State Parameter Scheduler: core dev almost done (still minor conflicts to fix). Work left: coherent naming and adding more tests. It could be finished soon. Sylvain will help to review the PR if needed. 
    * IFPEN / PyTorch-Ignite collaboration project ? Scope: detection of the shape of microfossils / core grains (Research topic). All means of collaboration are opened (students, convention, expertise, etc.). Should be discussed in a few weeks. Meanwhile, ClearML was evaluated as very relevant feature for IFPEN, this is an opportunity for Ignite. Note that a support is needed for reducing the learning curve for the teams (code generator, low/no code approaches?).

* Priyansi:
    * CIFAR10 Distributed Tutorial completed.
    * Work on combining text CNN and Transformers notebook for text classification.
    * Promoting in the community the blog article using PyTorch-Ignite: [Classifying Tiny ImageNet with EfficientNet](https://towardsdatascience.com/pytorch-ignite-classifying-tiny-imagenet-with-efficientnet-e5b1768e5e8f), to be discussed.

- [ ] Discuss the PyTorch Dev Day poster update
- [ ] Discuss the opportunity of collaboration IFPEN / PyTorch-Ignite
- [ ] Sylvain: review PR #2090
- [ ] Discuss the promotion of the blog article
