## What is Torchmetrics
TorchMetrics is a collection of 25+ PyTorch metrics implementations and an easy-to-use API to create custom metrics. It offers:

* A standardized interface to increase reproducibility
* Reduces boilerplate
* Automatic accumulation over batches
* Metrics optimized for distributed-training
* Automatic synchronization between multiple devices

You can use TorchMetrics with any PyTorch model or with [PyTorch Lightning](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to enjoy additional features such as:

* Module metrics are automatically placed on the correct device.
* Native support for logging metrics in Lightning to reduce even more boilerplate.

## Using TorchMetrics

### Module metrics

The [module-based metrics](https://pytorchlightning.github.io/metrics/references/modules.html) contain internal metric states (similar to the parameters of the PyTorch module) that automate accumulation and synchronization across devices!

* Automatic accumulation over multiple batches
* Automatic synchronization between multiple devices
* Metric arithmetic

**This can be run on CPU, single GPU or multi-GPUs!**

For the single GPU/CPU case:

``` python
import torch
# import our library
import torchmetrics 

# initialize metric
metric = torchmetrics.Accuracy()

n_batches = 10
for i in range(n_batches):
    # simulate a classification problem
    preds = torch.randn(10, 5).softmax(dim=-1)
    target = torch.randint(5, (10,))

    # metric on current batch
    acc = metric(preds, target)
    print(f"Accuracy on batch {i}: {acc}")    

# metric on all batches using custom accumulation
acc = metric.compute()
print(f"Accuracy on all data: {acc}")
```

Module metric usage remains the same when using multiple GPUs or multiple nodes. 

<details>
  <summary>Example using DDP</summary>

``` python

os.environ['MASTER_ADDR'] = 'localhost'
os.environ['MASTER_PORT'] = '12355'

# create default process group
dist.init_process_group("gloo", rank=rank, world_size=world_size)

# initialize model
metric = torchmetrics.Accuracy()

# define a model and append your metric to it
# this allows metric states to be placed on correct accelerators when
# .to(device) is called on the model
model = nn.Linear(10, 10)
model.metric = metric
model = model.to(rank)

# initialize DDP
model = DDP(model, device_ids=[rank])

n_epochs = 5
# this shows iteration over multiple training epochs
for n in range(n_epochs):

    # this will be replaced by a DataLoader with a DistributedSampler
    n_batches = 10
    for i in range(n_batches):
        # simulate a classification problem
        preds = torch.randn(10, 5).softmax(dim=-1)
        target = torch.randint(5, (10,))

        # metric on current batch
        acc = metric(preds, target)
        if rank == 0:  # print only for rank 0
            print(f"Accuracy on batch {i}: {acc}")    

    # metric on all batches and all accelerators using custom accumulation
    # accuracy is same across both accelerators
    acc = metric.compute()
    print(f"Accuracy on all data: {acc}, accelerator rank: {rank}")

    # Reseting internal state such that metric ready for new data
    metric.reset()
```

### Implementing your own Module metric

Implementing your own metric is as easy as subclassing an [`torch.nn.Module`](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Module.html). Simply, subclass `torchmetrics.Metric`
and implement the following methods:

```python
class MyAccuracy(Metric):
    def __init__(self, dist_sync_on_step=False):
        # call `self.add_state`for every internal state that is needed for the metrics computations
	# dist_reduce_fx indicates the function that should be used to reduce 
	# state from multiple processes
	super().__init__(dist_sync_on_step=dist_sync_on_step)

        self.add_state("correct", default=torch.tensor(0), dist_reduce_fx="sum")
        self.add_state("total", default=torch.tensor(0), dist_reduce_fx="sum")

    def update(self, preds: torch.Tensor, target: torch.Tensor):
        # update metric states
        preds, target = self._input_format(preds, target)
        assert preds.shape == target.shape

        self.correct += torch.sum(preds == target)
        self.total += target.numel()

    def compute(self):
        # compute final result
        return self.correct.float() / self.total
```

### Functional metrics

Similar to [`torch.nn`](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html), most metrics have both a [module-based](https://torchmetrics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/references/modules.html) and a [functional](https://torchmetrics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/references/functional.html) version.
The functional versions are simple python functions that as input take [torch.tensors](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html) and return the corresponding metric as a [torch.tensor](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html).

``` python
import torch
# import our library
import torchmetrics

# simulate a classification problem
preds = torch.randn(10, 5).softmax(dim=-1)
target = torch.randint(5, (10,))

acc = torchmetrics.functional.accuracy(preds, target)
```
