Building a Gin Config Controlled PyTorch Pipeline with Configurable MLP Variants, Cosine Scheduling, and Runtime Parameter Overrides
In this tutorial, we implement a Gin Config –controlled PyTorch experiment pipeline in which the executable training code remains stable. At the same time, the experimental degrees of freedom are moved into declarative configuration files. We construct a nonlinear spiral binary classification task, define a configurable MLP with scoped architectural variants, and expose parameters for the optimizer, scheduler, loss, batching, seeding, and training loop via @gin.configurable bindings. We use Gin’s scoped references to instantiate separate model configurations, runtime bindings to override selected parameters without editing source code, and operative config export to capture the exact resolved configuration that produces each training run.
