# Tune - Lexicographic Objectives

## Requirements

```python
pip install "flaml>=1.1.0" thop torchvision torch
```
Tuning multiple objectives with Lexicographic preference is a new feature added in version 1.1.0 and is subject to change in future versions.
## Tuning accurate and efficient neural networks with lexicographic preference

### Data

```python
import torch
import thop
import torch.nn as nn
from flaml import tune
import torch.nn.functional as F
import torchvision
import numpy as np
import os

DEVICE = torch.device("cpu")
BATCHSIZE = 128
N_TRAIN_EXAMPLES = BATCHSIZE * 30
N_VALID_EXAMPLES = BATCHSIZE * 10
data_dir = os.path.abspath("data")

train_dataset = torchvision.datasets.FashionMNIST(
    data_dir,
    train=True,
    download=True,
    transform=torchvision.transforms.ToTensor(),
)

train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    torch.utils.data.Subset(train_dataset, list(range(N_TRAIN_EXAMPLES))),
    batch_size=BATCHSIZE,
    shuffle=True,
)

val_dataset = torchvision.datasets.FashionMNIST(
    data_dir, train=False, transform=torchvision.transforms.ToTensor()
)

val_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    torch.utils.data.Subset(val_dataset, list(range(N_VALID_EXAMPLES))),
    batch_size=BATCHSIZE,
    shuffle=True,
```

### Specific the model

```python
def define_model(configuration):
    n_layers = configuration["n_layers"]
    layers = []
    in_features = 28 * 28
    for i in range(n_layers):
        out_features = configuration["n_units_l{}".format(i)]
        layers.append(nn.Linear(in_features, out_features))
        layers.append(nn.ReLU())
        p = configuration["dropout_{}".format(i)]
        layers.append(nn.Dropout(p))
        in_features = out_features
    layers.append(nn.Linear(in_features, 10))
    layers.append(nn.LogSoftmax(dim=1))
    return nn.Sequential(*layers)
```

### Train

```python
def train_model(model, optimizer, train_loader):
    model.train()
    for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
        data, target = data.view(-1, 28 * 28).to(DEVICE), target.to(DEVICE)
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        F.nll_loss(model(data), target).backward()
        optimizer.step()
```

### Metrics

```python
def eval_model(model, valid_loader):
    model.eval()
    correct = 0
    with torch.no_grad():
        for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(valid_loader):
            data, target = data.view(-1, 28 * 28).to(DEVICE), target.to(DEVICE)
            pred = model(data).argmax(dim=1, keepdim=True)
            correct += pred.eq(target.view_as(pred)).sum().item()

    accuracy = correct / N_VALID_EXAMPLES
    flops, params = thop.profile(
        model, inputs=(torch.randn(1, 28 * 28).to(DEVICE),), verbose=False
    )
    return np.log2(flops), 1 - accuracy, params
```



### Evaluation function

```python
def evaluate_function(configuration):
    model = define_model(configuration).to(DEVICE)
    optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), configuration["lr"])
    n_epoch = configuration["n_epoch"]
    for epoch in range(n_epoch):
        train_model(model, optimizer, train_loader)
    flops, error_rate, params = eval_model(model, val_loader)
    return {"error_rate": error_rate, "flops": flops, "params": params}
```

### Search space
```python
search_space = {
    "n_layers": tune.randint(lower=1, upper=3),
    "n_units_l0": tune.randint(lower=4, upper=128),
    "n_units_l1": tune.randint(lower=4, upper=128),
    "n_units_l2": tune.randint(lower=4, upper=128),
    "dropout_0": tune.uniform(lower=0.2, upper=0.5),
    "dropout_1": tune.uniform(lower=0.2, upper=0.5),
    "dropout_2": tune.uniform(lower=0.2, upper=0.5),
    "lr": tune.loguniform(lower=1e-5, upper=1e-1),
    "n_epoch": tune.randint(lower=1, upper=20),
}
```

### Launch the tuning process

```python

# Low cost initial point
low_cost_partial_config = {
    "n_layers": 1,
    "n_units_l0": 4,
    "n_units_l1": 4,
    "n_units_l2": 4,
    "n_epoch": 1,
}

# Specific lexicographic preference
lexico_objectives = {}
lexico_objectives["metrics"] = ["error_rate", "flops"]
lexico_objectives["tolerances"] = {"error_rate": 0.02, "flops": 0.0}
lexico_objectives["targets"] = {"error_rate": 0.0, "flops": 0.0}
lexico_objectives["modes"] = ["min", "min"]

# launch the tuning process
analysis = tune.run(
    evaluate_function,
    num_samples=-1,
    time_budget_s=100,
    config=search_space, # search space of NN
    use_ray=False,
    lexico_objectives=lexico_objectives,
    low_cost_partial_config=low_cost_partial_config, # low cost initial point
)
```
