<p>During training or inference, we provide an evaluation function to measure the model performance, for example, accuracy, precision, etc. In the operator based framework design, the data passes through the network pipeline batch by batch. As a result, inside the operator, we only calculate the metrics for one minibatch. Thus, we need to provide a mechanism to calculate the metrics for each N pass/batch the user wants.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="evaluator-design">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>Evaluator Design<a class="headerlink" href="#evaluator-design" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h2>
<p>Currently, every operation is expressed in the graph. We divide the evaluator process into three steps.</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>Initialize the metric state and add it into the block.</li>
<li>Calculate the concerned metrics for every mini-batch. The single evaluator operator is only responsible for calculating the necessary statistics for one mini-batch. For example, the accuracy operator only calculates the accuracy for a minibatch data if run once.</li>
</ol>
<ol class="simple">
<li>Merge the mini-batch statistics to form the evaluation result for multiple mini-batches. When it comes to distributed training/Multi-GPU training, aggregate the value from different devices.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section" id="implementation">
<span id="implementation"></span><h2>Implementation<a class="headerlink" href="#implementation" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h2>
<p>This design is shown in the Python API.
Each metric operator needs to caculate the metric statistic and return the batch-aware states. Python side is responsible for accumulating the states for each pass.</p>
