Ray Tune is a Ray library for distributed experiment execution and hyperparameter tuning. It coordinates training, evaluation, scheduling, checkpoint selection, and final model training around a PyTorch workflow. section 8.2
Ray Tune
Ray Tune is a Ray library for distributed hyperparameter tuning and experiment management.
How Transformers in Action covers it
- How deep it goes
- Implements dataset conversion, tokenization, distributed training, search scheduling, checkpoint selection, retraining, and model loading.
- Examples
- Uses SuperGLUE CommitmentBank classification with searched learning rates, epochs, batch sizes, and weight decay.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via Ray Tune to compare configurations, select the lowest-loss trial, retrain, restore, and publish a model.
- How it connects
- Connects Ray Data, TorchTrainer, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, checkpointing, and ASHA scheduling.
