# Initialization
Coming soon. Please refer to [chinese documentation](https://mmengine.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/advanced_tutorials/initialize.html).
Usually, we'll customize our module based on [nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module), which is implemented by Native PyTorch. Also, [torch.nn.init](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.init.html) could help us initialize the parameters of the model easily. To simplify the process of model construction and initialization, MMEngine designed the [BaseModule](mmengine.model.BaseModule) to help us define and initialize the model from config easily.
## Initialize the model from config
The core function of `BaseModule` is that it could help us to initialize the model from config. Subclasses inherited from `BaseModule` could define the `init_cfg` in the `__init__` function, and we can choose the method of initialization by configuring `init_cfg`.
Currently, we support the following initialization methods:
| Initializer | Registered name | Function |
| :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [ConstantInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.ConstantInit.html#mmengine.model.ConstantInit) | Constant | Initialize the weight and bias with a constant, commonly used for Convolution |
| [XavierInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.XavierInit.html#mmengine.model.XavierInit) | Xavier | Initialize the weight by `Xavier` initialization, and initialize the bias with a constant |
| [NormalInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.NormalInit.html#mmengine.model.NormalInit) | Normal | Initialize the weight by normal distribution, and initialize the bias with a constant |
| [TruncNormalInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.TruncNormalInit.html#mmengine.model.TruncNormalInit) | TruncNormal | Initialize the weight by truncated normal distribution, and initialize the bias with a constantcommonly used for Transformer |
| [UniformInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.UniformInit.html#mmengine.model.UniformInit) | Uniform | Initialize the weight by uniform distribution, and initialize the bias with a constantcommonly used for convolution |
| [KaimingInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.KaimingInit.html#mmengine.model.KaimingInit) | Kaiming | Initialize the weight by `Kaiming` initialization, and initialize the bias with a constant. Commonly used for convolution |
| [Caffe2XavierInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.Caffe2XavierInit.html#mmengine.model.Caffe2XavierInit) | Caffe2Xavier | `Xavier` initialization in Caffe2, and `Kaiming` initialization in PyTorh with `fan_in` and `normal` mode. Commonly used for convolution |
| [PretrainedInit](../api/generated/mmengine.model.PretrainedInit.html#mmengine.model.PretrainedInit) | Pretrained | Initialize the model with the pretrained model |
### Initialize the model with pretrained model
Defining the `ToyNet` as below:
```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from mmengine.model import BaseModule
class ToyNet(BaseModule):
def __init__(self, init_cfg=None):
super().__init__(init_cfg)
self.conv1 = nn.Linear(1, 1)
# Save the checkpoint.
toy_net = ToyNet()
torch.save(toy_net.state_dict(), './pretrained.pth')
pretrained = './pretrained.pth'
toy_net = ToyNet(init_cfg=dict(type='Pretrained', checkpoint=pretrained))
```
and then we can configure the `init_cfg` to make it load the pretrained model by calling `initi_weights()` after its construction.
```python
# Initialize the model with the saved checkpoint.
toy_net.init_weights()
```
```
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO - load model from: ./pretrained.pth
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO - local loads checkpoint from path: ./pretrained.pth
```
If `init_cfg` is a `dict`, `type` means a kind of initializer registered in `WEIGHT_INITIALIZERS`. The `Pretrained` means `PretrainedInit`, which could help us to load the target checkpoint.
All initializers have the same mapping relationship like `Pretrained` -> `PretrainedInit`, which strips the suffix `Init` of the class name. The `checkpoint` argument of `PretrainedInit` means the path of the checkpoint. It could be a local path or a URL.
### Commonly used initialization methods
Similarly, we could use the `Kaiming` initialization just like `Pretrained` initializer. For example, we could make `init_cfg=dict(type='Kaiming', layer='Conv2d')` to initialize all `Conv2d` module with `Kaiming` initialization.
Sometimes we need to initialize the model with different initialization methods for different modules. For example, we could initialize the `Conv2d` module with `Kaiming` initialization and initialize the `Linear` module with `Xavier` initialization. We could make `init_cfg=dict(type='Kaiming', layer='Conv2d')`:
```python
import torch.nn as nn
from mmengine.model import BaseModule
class ToyNet(BaseModule):
def __init__(self, init_cfg=None):
super().__init__(init_cfg)
self.linear = nn.Linear(1, 1)
self.conv = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
# Apply `Kaiming` initialization to `Conv2d` module and `Xavier` initialization to `Linear` module.
toy_net = ToyNet(
init_cfg=[
dict(type='Kaiming', layer='Conv2d'),
dict(type='Xavier', layer='Linear')
], )
toy_net.init_weights()
```
```
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
linear.weight - torch.Size([1, 1]):
XavierInit: gain=1, distribution=normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
linear.bias - torch.Size([1]):
XavierInit: gain=1, distribution=normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv.weight - torch.Size([1, 1, 1, 1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv.bias - torch.Size([1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
```
`layer` could also be a list, each element of which means a type of applied module.
```python
# Apply Kaiming initialization to `Conv2d` and `Linear` module.
toy_net = ToyNet(init_cfg=[dict(type='Kaiming', layer=['Conv2d', 'Linear'])], )
toy_net.init_weights()
```
```
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
linear.weight - torch.Size([1, 1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
linear.bias - torch.Size([1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv.weight - torch.Size([1, 1, 1, 1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv.bias - torch.Size([1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
```
### More fine-grained initialization
Sometimes we need to initialize the same type of module with different types of initialization. For example, we've defined `conv1` and `conv2` submodules, and we want to initialize the `conv1` with `Kaiming` initialization and `conv2` with `Xavier` initialization. We could configure the init_cfg with `override`:
```python
import torch.nn as nn
from mmengine.model import BaseModule
class ToyNet(BaseModule):
def __init__(self, init_cfg=None):
super().__init__(init_cfg)
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
# Apllly `Kaiming` initialization to `conv1` and `Xavier` initialization to `conv2`.
toy_net = ToyNet(
init_cfg=[
dict(
type='Kaiming',
layer=['Conv2d'],
override=dict(name='conv2', type='Xavier')),
], )
toy_net.init_weights()
```
```
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv1.weight - torch.Size([1, 1, 1, 1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv1.bias - torch.Size([1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv2.weight - torch.Size([1, 1, 1, 1]):
XavierInit: gain=1, distribution=normal, bias=0
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -
conv2.bias - torch.Size([1]):
KaimingInit: a=0, mode=fan_out, nonlinearity=relu, distribution =normal, bias=0
```
`override` could be understood as an nested `init_cfg`, which could also be a `list` or `dict`, and we should also set "`type`" for it. The difference is that we must set `name` in `override` to specify the applied scope for submodule. As the example above, we set `name='conv2'` to specify that the `Xavier` initialization is applied to all submodules of `toy_net.conv2`.
### Customize the initialization method
Although the `init_cfg` could control the initialization method for different modules, we would have to register a new initialization method to `WEIGHT_INITIALIZERS` if we want to customize initialization process. It is not convenient right? Actually, we could also override the `init_weights` method to customize the initialization process.
Assuming we've defined the following modules:
- `ToyConv` inherit from `nn.Module`, implements `init_weights`which initialize `custom_weight`(`parameter` of `ToyConv`) with 1 and initialize `custom_bias` with 0
- `ToyNet` defines a `ToyConv` submodule.
`ToyNet.init_weights` will call `init_weights` of all submodules sequentially.
```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from mmengine.model import BaseModule
class ToyConv(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.custom_weight = nn.Parameter(torch.empty(1, 1, 1, 1))
self.custom_bias = nn.Parameter(torch.empty(1))
def init_weights(self):
with torch.no_grad():
self.custom_weight = self.custom_weight.fill_(1)
self.custom_bias = self.custom_bias.fill_(0)
class ToyNet(BaseModule):
def __init__(self, init_cfg=None):
super().__init__(init_cfg)
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
self.custom_conv = ToyConv()
toy_net = ToyNet(
init_cfg=[
dict(
type='Kaiming',
layer=['Conv2d'],
override=dict(name='conv2', type='Xavier'))
])
toy_net.init_weights()
```
```
08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -

08/19 16:50:24 - mmengine - INFO -

```
### Conclusion
**1. Configure `init_cfg` to initialize model**
- Commonly used for the initialization of `Conv2d`, `Linear` and other underlying module. All initialization methods should be managed by `WEIGHT_INITIALIZERS`
- Dynamic initialization controlled by `init_cfg`
**2. Customize `init_weights`**
- Compared to configuring the `init_cfg`, implementing the `init_weights` is simpler and does not require registration. However, it is not as flexible as `init_cfg`, and it is not possible to initialize the module dynamically.
```{note}
- The priorify of init_weights is higher than `init_cfg`
- Runner will call `init_weights` in Runner.train()
```
### Ininitailize module with function
As mentioned in prior \[section\](#Customize the initialization method), we could customize our initialization in `init_weights`. To make it more convenient to initialize modules, MMEngine provides a series of **module initialization functions** to initialize the whole module based on `torch.nn.init`. For example, we want to initialize the weights of the convolutional layer with normal distribution and initialize the bias of the convolutional layer with a constant. The implementation of `torch.nn.init` is as follows:
```python
from torch.nn.init import normal_, constant_
import torch.nn as nn
model = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 1)
normal_(model.weight, mean=0, std=0.01)
constant_(model.bias, val=0)
```
```
Parameter containing:
tensor([0.], requires_grad=True)
```
The above process is actually a standard process for initializing a convolutional module with normal distribution, so MMEngine simplifies this by implementing a series of common **module** initialization functions. Compared with `torch.nn.init`, the module initialization functions could accept the convolution module directly:
```python
from mmengine.model import normal_init
normal_init(model, mean=0, std=0.01, bias=0)
```
Similarly, we could also use [Kaiming](http://proceedings.mlr.press/v9/glorot10a/glorot10a.pdf) initialization and [Xavier](http://proceedings.mlr.press/v9/glorot10a/glorot10a.pdf) initialization
```python
from mmengine.model import kaiming_init, xavier_init
kaiming_init(model)
xavier_init(model)
```
Currently, MMEngine provide the following initialization function:
| initialization function | function |
| :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [constant_init](../api/generated/mmengine.model.constant_init.html#mmengine.model.constant_init) | Initialize the weight and bias with a constant, commonly used for Convolution |

| [normal_init](../api/generated/mmengine.model.normal_init.html#mmengine.model.normal_init) | Initialize the weight by normal distribution, and initialize the bias with a constant |

和使用 `PretrainedInit` 初始化器类似,如果我们想对卷积做 `Kaiming` 初始化,需要令 `init_cfg=dict(type='Kaiming', layer='Conv2d')`。这样模型初始化时,就会以 `Kaiming` 初始化的方式来初始化类型为 `Conv2d` 的模块。
有时候我们可能需要用不同的初始化方式去初始化不同类型的模块,例如对卷积使用 `Kaiming` 初始化,对线性层使用 `Xavier`
初始化。此时我们可以使 `init_cfg` 成为一个列表,其中的每一个元素都表示对某些层使用特定的初始化方式。
