Mix.install([
{:axon, ">= 0.5.0"}
]):okWriting custom metrics
When passing an atom to Axon.Loop.metric/5, Axon dispatches the function to a built-in function in Axon.Metrics. If you find you'd like to use a metric that does not exist in Axon.Metrics, you can define a custom function:
defmodule CustomMetric do
import Nx.Defn
defn my_weird_metric(y_true, y_pred) do
Nx.atan2(y_true, y_pred) |> Nx.sum()
end
end{:module, CustomMetric, <<70, 79, 82, 49, 0, 0, 8, ...>>, true}Then you can pass that directly to Axon.Loop.metric/5. You must provide a name for your custom metric:
model =
Axon.input("data")
|> Axon.dense(8)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(4)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(1)
loop =
model
|> Axon.Loop.trainer(:mean_squared_error, :sgd)
|> Axon.Loop.metric(&CustomMetric.my_weird_metric/2, "my weird metric")#Axon.Loop<

#Function<9.37390314/2 in Axon.Loop.build_loss_fn/1>},
"my weird metric" => {#Function<11.133813849/3 in Axon.Metrics.running_average/1>,
&CustomMetric.my_weird_metric/2}
},
handlers: %{
completed: [],
epoch_completed: [

}While the metric defaults are designed with supervised training loops in mind, they can be used for much more flexible purposes. By default, metrics look for the fields :y_true and :y_pred in the given loop's step state. They then apply the given metric function on those inputs. You can also define metrics which work on other fields. For example you can track the running average of a given parameter with a metric just by defining a custom output transform:
model =
Axon.input("data")
|> Axon.dense(8)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(4)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(1)
output_transform = fn %{model_state: model_state} ->
[model_state["dense_0"]["kernel"]]
end

}You can also define custom accumulation functions. Axon has definitions for computing running averages and running sums; however, you might find you need something like an exponential moving average:
defmodule CustomAccumulator do
import Nx.Defn
defn running_ema(acc, obs, _i, opts \\ []) do
opts = keyword!(opts, alpha: 0.9)
obs * opts[:alpha] + acc * (1 - opts[:alpha])
end
end{:module, CustomAccumulator, <<70, 79, 82, 49, 0, 0, 11, ...>>, true}Your accumulator must be an arity-3 function which accepts the current accumulated value, the current observation, and the current iteration and returns the aggregated metric. You can pass a function direct as an accumulator in your metric:
model =
Axon.input("data")
|> Axon.dense(8)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(4)
|> Axon.relu()
|> Axon.dense(1)
output_transform = fn %{model_state: model_state} ->
[model_state["dense_0"]["kernel"]]
end
loop =
