feature request: progress bar #104

Closed bittlingmayer closed 7 years ago

It would be really helpful if the % and so on were printed out to the console during training, similar to fasttext.

Estimated time to finish could be good too.

alexholdenmiller commented 7 years ago

Hi @bittlingmayer, for what specifically would you like the progress bar? Do you mean the % portion until a model has finished training? If that's what you mean, then this is model-dependent and is up to the model to provide--many models will not necessarily be able to produce this number.

ajfisch commented 7 years ago

Also, as it is now, ParlAI randomly samples from the training sets vs shuffle + iterate -- as FastText does. So there isn't really a concept of total number of epochs. E.g. the DrQA example trains until the validation accuracy hasn't increased in more than N consecutive evaluations.

We will be adding a max-train-time flag soon though, and will log that. But then the time to finish is kind of clear at that point..
