# pytorch-trainer

## Overview

PyTorch model training skill with custom training loops, gradient management, GPU optimization, and integration with experiment tracking systems.

## Capabilities

- Custom training loop execution
- Learning rate scheduling (StepLR, CosineAnnealing, OneCycleLR, etc.)
- Gradient clipping and accumulation
- Mixed precision training (AMP)
- Checkpoint management and resumption
- DataLoader optimization
- Multi-GPU training (DataParallel, DistributedDataParallel)
- Early stopping with patience

## Target Processes

- Model Training Pipeline with Experiment Tracking
- Distributed Training Orchestration
- AutoML Pipeline Orchestration

## Tools and Libraries

- PyTorch
- PyTorch Lightning (optional)
- torchvision, torchaudio, torchtext
- CUDA toolkit
