Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an existing machine-learning model needs to be adapted to a new data domain and you want modular PyTorch components for training or validation.
Who it is for
- PyTorch developers adapting existing models to new data domains.
- Machine-learning practitioners assembling or customizing domain-adaptation training and validation workflows.
- Developers who want to use PyTorch Lightning or PyTorch Ignite wrappers with an adaptation workflow.
Documented uses
- Combine adaptation algorithms and loss functions into a training workflow.
- Add domain-adaptation hooks to existing PyTorch models, optimizers and dataloaders.
- Wrap an adapter for use with PyTorch Lightning or PyTorch Ignite.
- Evaluate predictions with a validator, including SNDValidator.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies the project as MIT-licensed. The README documents installation through pip and does not document a Conda installation; it says Conda is coming soon.
- The library expects users to supply their own models, optimizers and data loaders for the demonstrated vanilla PyTorch workflow.
- Framework integrations are installed through separate pip extras for Lightning and Ignite.
- The README includes example notebooks and points to setup.py for dependency details.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install PyTorch Adapt with pip
Install the library, or add the documented framework extra needed for a Lightning or Ignite integration.
Before you start
- Python environment with pip.
Steps
Install the base package with the command below.
pip install pytorch-adaptFor the Lightning integration, install
pytorch-adapt[lightning]instead.For the Ignite integration, install
pytorch-adapt[ignite]instead.
Expected outcome
The package installation includes the selected library components and, when chosen, the documented framework integration extra.
Guide limitations
- This covers installation only, not running a training or validation workflow.
- Dependency details are referenced in the project's setup.py; no specific Python or PyTorch version requirement is stated here.
