"""Defines an "action" abstraction for use with `orbit.Controller`. "Actions" are simply arbitrary callables that are applied by the `Controller` to the output of train steps (after each inner loop of `steps_per_loop` steps) or an evaluation. This provides a hook mechanism, enabling things like reporting metrics to Vizier, model exporting, additional logging, etc. The basic `Action` abstraction (just a type alias) is defined in the `controller` module. This `actions` module adds a `ConditionalAction` utility class to make it easy to trigger actions conditionally based on reusable predicates, as well as a small handful of predefined conditions/actions (in particular, a `NewBestMetric` condition and an `ExportSavedModel` action). One example of using actions to do metric-conditional export: new_best_metric = orbit.actions.NewBestMetric('accuracy') export_action = orbit.actions.ConditionalAction( condition=lambda x: x['accuracy'] > 0.9 and new_best_metric(x), action=orbit.actions.ExportSavedModel( model, orbit.actions.ExportFileManager( base_name=f'{FLAGS.model_dir}/saved_model', next_id_fn=trainer.global_step.numpy), signatures=model.infer)) controller = orbit.Controller( strategy=strategy, trainer=trainer, evaluator=evaluator, eval_actions=[export_action], global_step=trainer.global_step, steps_per_loop=FLAGS.steps_per_loop, checkpoint_manager=checkpoint_manager, summary_interval=1000) Note: In multi-client settings where each client runs its own `Controller` instance, some care should be taken in deciding which clients should run certain actions. Isolating actions to an individual client (say client 0) can be achieved using `ConditionalAction` as follows: client_0_actions = orbit.actions.ConditionalAction( condition=lambda _: client_id() == 0, action=[ ... ]) In particular, the `NewBestMetric` condition may be used in multi-client settings if all clients are guaranteed to compute the same metric (ensuring this is up to client code, not Orbit). However, when saving metrics it may be helpful to avoid unnecessary writes by setting the `write_value` parameter to `False` for most clients.

These separate methods enable the same `NewBestMetric` instance to be reused as a condition multiple times, and can also provide additional preemption/failure safety. For example, to avoid updating the best metric if a model export fails or is pre-empted: new_best_metric = orbit.actions.NewBestMetric( 'accuracy', filename='/model/dir/best_metric') action = orbit.actions.ConditionalAction( condition=new_best_metric.test, action=[ orbit.actions.ExportSavedModel(...), new_best_metric.commit ]) The default `__call__` implementation is equivalent to `commit`.
