Stoppers

Early stoppers.

The following code will create a scenario in which training will stop (quite) early when training pykeen.models.TransE on the pykeen.datasets.Nations dataset.

>>> from pykeen.pipeline import pipeline
>>> pipeline_result = pipeline(
...     dataset='nations',
...     model='transe',
...     model_kwargs=dict(embedding_dim=20, scoring_fct_norm=1),
...     optimizer='SGD',
...     optimizer_kwargs=dict(lr=0.01),
...     loss='marginranking',
...     loss_kwargs=dict(margin=1),
...     training_loop='slcwa',
...     training_kwargs=dict(num_epochs=100, batch_size=128),
...     negative_sampler='basic',
...     negative_sampler_kwargs=dict(num_negs_per_pos=1),
...     evaluator_kwargs=dict(filtered=True),
...     evaluation_kwargs=dict(batch_size=128),
...     stopper='early',
...     stopper_kwargs=dict(frequency=5, patience=2, relative_delta=0.002),
... )

Return type

bool

should_stop(epoch)[source]
