Image logging to tensorboard about lightning

[williamFalcon]

yup!

in the lightningModule you can call self.experiment. that’s a summarywriter for tensorboard. for the api of that refer to pytorch summarywriter.

https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensorboard

it’s all explained here: https://williamfalcon.github.io/pytorch-lightning/Trainer/Logging/#tensorboard-support

realized self.experiment from docs. adding now!

@qmpzzpmq
There should be

tensorboard = self.logger.experiment
grid = torchvision.utils.make_grid(...)
tensorboard.add_image(f'{stage}_samples', grid.clamp(0., 1.), self.current_epoch*self.batch_size + batch_idx)    

[williamFalcon]

@tmquan can you update to the latest test-tube version and try again?

Is there an approach to only log a subset of images instead of all over the validation_step or test_step call?

[epignatelli]

@williamFalcon I don't think it's a feasible solution.

It means returning the outputs of the forward pass from training_step.

However, as soon as you override training_epoch_end, it will stack things up in the GPU, until it fill its/their memory.

@ceceu have you tried

torchvision.utils.make_grid()

and then log images?

[ananyahjha93]

@epignatelli you can create a variable such as

self.imgs = # something

and then plot these. This will work with DDP and the regular single GPU case but will not work with DP the default version does not support state maintenance.

Thanks @ananyahjha93 and @williamFalcon, I guess the callback approach is the best practice.

Hi, right now is there any method to call tensorboard's add_image add_audio
