ImportError: cannot import name 'EarlyStopping' from 'pytorchtools' solution

question:

Want to use earlystopping in pytorch, after searching I found that 'EarlyStopping' from 'pytorchtools' can be used.

The tutorial says to use pip install pytorchtools to install, so the installed version is 0.0.2,

Then call from pytorchtools import EarlyStopping ,

But this will report an error ImportError: cannot import name 'EarlyStopping' from 'pytorchtools' .

reason:

 After checking, I found that the 'pytorchtools' installed in this way is empty, and there is no 'EarlyStopping' in it.

 

Solution:

Copy the following code (or the code in the address ) into it, or directly create a new pytorchtools.py file in the project, then copy the code in and call it; )

import numpy as np
import torch

class EarlyStopping:
    """Early stops the training if validation loss doesn't improve after a given patience."""
    def __init__(self, patience=7, verbose=False, delta=0):
        """
        Args:

                            Default: 7
