Debugging the Dreaded NaN

  • To implement a NaN capturing solution in PyTorch, one can use PyTorch Lightning's callback interface.
  • A NaNCapture Lightning callback is created to handle NaN events during training.
  • The callback stores corrupted models and halts training upon encountering NaN values.
  • Reproducibility is ensured by including NaNCapture state in the checkpoints for debugging.
  • Loading the stored training batch for debugging relies on Lightning's LightningDataModule.
  • Testing the callback involves creating a problematic model to trigger NaN occurrences.
  • Runtime performance is minimally impacted by the NaNCapture callback, providing valuable debug capabilities.
  • Enhancements like capturing and restoring random states for reproducibility are also discussed.
  • Encountering NaN failures in machine learning can be challenging and indicate model issues.
  • The proposed approach using Lightning callback streamlines NaN error debugging.
  • This solution can save developers significant time and effort in debugging NaN errors.
