Model Training

Each task provides a mode to train a model on the specified datasets and dataloaders. The training mode can be invoked either via CLI or within heartkit python package. At a high level, the training mode performs the following actions based on the provided configuration parameters:

  1. Load the configuration parameters (e.g. configuration.json)
  2. Load the desired datasets (e.g. PtbxlDataset)
  3. Load the corresponding task dataloaders (e.g. PtbxlDataLoader)
  4. Initialize custom model architecture (e.g. tcn)
  5. Define the metrics, loss, and optimizer (e.g. accuracy, categorical_crossentropy, adam)
  6. Train the model (e.g. model.fit)
  7. Save artifacts (e.g. model.keras)

The following command will train a rhythm model using the reference configuration.

Terminal
heartkit --task rhythm --mode train --config ./configuration.json

The model can be trained using the following snippet:

Python example
task = hk.TaskFactory.get("rhythm")
params = hk.HKTaskParams(...)
task.train(params)

heartKIT provides built-in support for logging to several third-party services including Weights & Biases (WANDB) and TensorBoard.

The training mode is able to log all metrics and artifacts (aka models) to Weights & Biases (WANDB). To enable WANDB logging, simply set environment variable WANDB=1. Remember to sign in prior to running experiments by running wandb login.

The training mode is able to log all metrics to TensorBoard. To enable TensorBoard logging, simply set environment variable TENSORBOARD=1.
