# Experiment Logger
A lightweight, standalone logging framework for machine learning experiments with multi-backend support.
A lightweight logging framework supporting Weights & Biases, local JSON, and stdout.
## Features
- **Multi-backend logging**: Simultaneously log to WandB, local disk (JSON), and stdout
- **Data preservation**: All metrics saved locally, even if WandB is unavailable
- **Checkpoint management**: Save model checkpoints with metadata
- **WandB integration**: Optional artifact upload for model versioning
- **Graceful degradation**: Works without WandB installed
- **Simple API**: Minimal configuration required
## Installation
This package is included in the project. To use it in your code:
```python
from experiment_logger import UnifiedLogger
```
## Quick Start
## Usage
```python
from experiment_logger import UnifiedLogger
# Initialize logger
logger = UnifiedLogger(
run_name="my_experiment",
config={"learning_rate": 0.001, "batch_size": 32},
project_name="MyProject",
entity="my-wandb-username", # Optional
use_wandb=True, # Set to False to disable WandB
)
logger = UnifiedLogger(run_name="my_experiment", config={"lr": 0.001})
# Log metrics
for step in range(100):
logger.log({
"loss": 1.0 / (step + 1),
"accuracy": step * 0.01,
}, step=step)
# Save checkpoint
logger.save_checkpoint(
params=model_params,
step=100,
metadata={"epoch": 1, "val_acc": 0.95},
)
# Save final model
logger.save_final_model(
params=final_params,
metadata={"final_accuracy": 0.98},
)
# Finalize (flushes remaining metrics)
logger.log({"loss": 0.5}, step=1)
logger.save_checkpoint(params=model_params, step=1)
logger.finish()
```
## Context Manager
Use as a context manager for automatic cleanup:
```python
with UnifiedLogger(run_name="my_exp", config={}) as logger:
logger.log({"metric": 1.0})
# Automatically calls finish() on exit
```
## Configuration
### Constructor Parameters
- `run_name` (str): Unique name for this run
- `config` (dict): Configuration dictionary with hyperparameters
- `project_name` (str): WandB project name (default: "PPO-Modularity")
- `entity` (str, optional): WandB entity (team/user name)
- `base_dir` (str): Base directory for local storage (default: "runs")
- `use_wandb` (bool): Enable WandB logging (default: True)
- `save_code` (bool): Save code to WandB (default: True)
### Directory Structure
```
runs/
└── my_experiment/
├── config.json # Saved configuration
├── metrics/
│ └── metrics.jsonl # Line-delimited JSON metrics
├── checkpoints/
│ ├── checkpoint_step_100.flax
│ └── checkpoint_step_100_metadata.json
└── final_model.flax
```
## API Reference
### `log(metrics, step=None, commit=True)`
Log metrics to all backends.
**Parameters:**
- `metrics` (dict): Dictionary of metric name -> value
- `step` (int, optional): Global step counter (auto-incremented if None)
- `commit` (bool): Whether to commit to WandB immediately
### `save_checkpoint(params, step, prefix="checkpoint", metadata=None)`
Save model checkpoint to disk and optionally to WandB.
**Parameters:**
- `params`: Model parameters (Flax params or any serializable object)
- `step` (int): Current training step
- `prefix` (str): Prefix for checkpoint filename
- `metadata` (dict, optional): Additional metadata to save
### `save_final_model(params, metadata=None)`
Save the final trained model.
**Parameters:**
- `params`: Model parameters
- `metadata` (dict, optional): Metadata about the final model
### `finish()`
Finalize logging and cleanup. Flushes remaining metrics to disk.
## Usage in Projects
This logger is designed to be:
- **Project-agnostic**: Use in any ML project, not just this one
- **Framework-agnostic**: Works with JAX, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.
- **Minimal dependencies**: Only requires `wandb` (optional), `flax` (for serialization), and `numpy`
## Design Philosophy
1. **Never lose data**: All metrics saved locally, regardless of WandB availability
2. **Simple API**: Minimal boilerplate, easy to integrate
3. **Fail gracefully**: Missing WandB shouldn't break experiments
4. **Reproducibility**: Save full configuration with every run

Part of the 2026SEL3-project-BrittleStar repository.
Logs and checkoints are saved in the `runs/` directory. If `track=True` (or `use_wandb=True`), everything is additionally synced to Weights & Biases.
