python-pytorchHow can I use Python and PyTorch to evaluate a model?


To evaluate a model using Python and PyTorch, the following steps should be taken:

  1. Load the model weights into a PyTorch model instance.

    model = MyModel()
    model.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_weights.pth'))
  2. Define the data set that will be used for evaluation.

    test_dataset = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(MyDataSet, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)
  3. Create a metric to measure the performance of the model.

    def accuracy(outputs, labels):
    _, preds = torch.max(outputs, dim=1)
    return torch.tensor(torch.sum(preds == labels).item() / len(preds))
  4. Iterate through the data set and calculate the metric.

    acc = 0
    for images, labels in test_dataset:
    outputs = model(images)
    acc += accuracy(outputs, labels)
    acc /= len(test_dataset)
    print(acc)

    Output example

    0.93

  5. Compare the metric to the desired performance.

  6. Adjust the model weights and repeat the steps above if necessary.

  7. Once the desired performance is achieved, save the model weights for future use.

    torch.save(model.state_dict(), 'model_weights.pth')
