Since we added the
num_per_example_loss_terms
recently, we could remove theloss_average
argument. I think there is no use case where it adds any additional benefit, and removing it will simplify the user experience significantly and it avoids user errors -- when the user doesn't pass any value fornum_per_example_loss_terms
it will still lead to the correct result, there will just be the overhead of one dataset pass.Moreover, I created
Enums
for the string valued arguments inKFACLinearOperator
(FisherType
andKFACType
) and added a customTypeVar
for the input/ouput oftorch_matmat
/torch_matvec
to support static type checkers (this was a request by @BrunoKM).
