v0.7.5

Release Note Finetuner 0.7.5

This release covers Finetuner version 0.7.5, including dependencies finetuner-api 0.5.6 and finetuner-core 0.13.3.

This release contains 2 refactorings and 2 bug fixes.

⚙ Refactoring

Downloading pre-trained weights is not necessary anymore

Previously, when a fine-tuning job was completed and the get_model function was called, we would construct the model, load the pre-trained weights, and then overwrite them with fine-tuned weights. We have now disabled the downloading of pre-trained weights, which speeds up the get_model function and eliminates unneeded network traffic.

Provide informative error messages when user did not login. (#708)

Before creating a Run, users are required to call finetuner.login() and use third-party authentication to log in. Previously, if they had not already done so, they would receive an error message that did not tell them to log in. We now display a more informative error message in the event that a user forgets to log in or their login attempt was unsuccessful.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Fix model name validation error using the model display name

When users request a model by name, they use names with the format name-size-lang, for example: bert-base-en. However, these names were not included in our internal schema for validation and jobs would fail validation. This has now been rectified.

Fix automatic batch size selection for PointNet models

In the past, BatchSizeFinder was unable to properly select batch sizes for PointNet++ models. This has been fixed.
