# Hyperparameter Search using Trainer API
š¤ Transformers provides a `Trainer` class optimized for training š¤ Transformers models, making it easier to start training without manually writing your own training loop. The `Trainer` provides API for hyperparameter search. This doc shows how to enable it in example.
## Hyperparameter Search backend
`Trainer` supports four hyperparameter search backends currently:
[optuna](https://optuna.org/), [sigopt](https://sigopt.com/), [raytune](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/tune/index.html) and [wandb](https://wandb.ai/site/sweeps).
you should install them before using them as the hyperparameter search backend
```bash
pip install optuna/sigopt/wandb/ray[tune]
```
## How to enable Hyperparameter search in example
Define the hyperparameter search space, different backends need different format.
For sigopt, see sigopt [object_parameter](https://docs.sigopt.com/ai-module-api-references/api_reference/objects/object_parameter), it's like following:
```py
>>> def sigopt_hp_space(trial):
... return [
... {"bounds": {"min": 1e-6, "max": 1e-4}, "name": "learning_rate", "type": "double"},
... {
... "categorical_values": ["16", "32", "64", "128"],
... "name": "per_device_train_batch_size",
... "type": "categorical",
... },
... ]
```
For optuna, see optuna [object_parameter](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/10_key_features/002_configurations.html#sphx-glr-tutorial-10-key-features-002-configurations-py), it's like following:
```py
>>> def optuna_hp_space(trial):
... return {
... "learning_rate": trial.suggest_float("learning_rate", 1e-6, 1e-4, log=True),
... "per_device_train_batch_size": trial.suggest_categorical("per_device_train_batch_size", [16, 32, 64, 128]),
... }
```
Optuna provides multi-objective HPO. You can pass `direction` in `hyperparameter_search` and define your own compute_objective to return multiple objective values. The Pareto Front (`List[BestRun]`) will be returned in hyperparameter_search, you should refer to the test case `TrainerHyperParameterMultiObjectOptunaIntegrationTest` in [test_trainer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/tests/trainer/test_trainer.py). It's like following
```py
>>> best_trials = trainer.hyperparameter_search(
... direction=["minimize", "maximize"],
... backend="optuna",
... hp_space=optuna_hp_space,
... n_trials=20,
... compute_objective=compute_objective,
... )
```
For raytune, see raytune [object_parameter](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/tune/api/search_space.html), it's like following:
```py
>>> def ray_hp_space(trial):
... return {
... "learning_rate": tune.loguniform(1e-6, 1e-4),
... "per_device_train_batch_size": tune.choice([16, 32, 64, 128]),
... }
```
For wandb, see wandb [object_parameter](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/sweeps/configuration), it's like following:
```py
>>> def wandb_hp_space(trial):
... return {
... "method": "random",
... "metric": {"name": "objective", "goal": "minimize"},
... "parameters": {
... "learning_rate": {"distribution": "uniform", "min": 1e-6, "max": 1e-4},
... "per_device_train_batch_size": {"values": [16, 32, 64, 128]},
... },
... }
```
Define a `model_init` function and pass it to the `Trainer`, as an example:
```py
>>> def model_init(trial):
... return AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
... model_args.model_name_or_path,
... from_tf=bool(".ckpt" in model_args.model_name_or_path),
... config=config,
... cache_dir=model_args.cache_dir,
... revision=model_args.model_revision,
... token=True if model_args.use_auth_token else None,
... )
```
Create a `Trainer` with your `model_init` function, training arguments, training and test datasets, and evaluation function:
```py
>>> trainer = Trainer(
... model=None,
... args=training_args,
... train_dataset=small_train_dataset,
... eval_dataset=small_eval_dataset,
... compute_metrics=compute_metrics,
... processing_class=tokenizer,
