                - `resume_path`: str (default=None)

                    Explicit checkpoint path (.pth file) to use to resume training.

                - `max_epochs` : int

                    Number of epochs to run training.

                - `lr_updates` : list(int)

                    List of fixed epoch numbers to perform learning rate updates when `lr_mode='step'`.

                - `lr_decay_factor` : float

                    Decay factor to apply to the learning rate at each update when `lr_mode='step'`.


                -  `lr_mode` : str

                    Learning rate scheduling policy, one of ['step','poly','cosine','function']. 'step' refers to
                    constant updates at epoch numbers passed through `lr_updates`. 'cosine' refers to Cosine Anealing
                    policy as mentioned in https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03983. 'poly' refers to polynomial decrease i.e
                    in each epoch iteration `self.lr = self.initial_lr * pow((1.0 - (current_iter / max_iter)),
                    0.9)` 'function' refers to user defined learning rate scheduling function, that is passed through
                    `lr_schedule_function`.

                - `lr_schedule_function` : Union[callable,None]

                    Learning rate scheduling function to be used when `lr_mode` is 'function'.

                - `warmup_mode`: Union[str, Type[LRCallbackBase], None]

                    If not None, define how the learning rate will be increased during the warmup phase.
                    Currently, only 'warmup_linear_epoch' and `warmup_linear_step` modes are supported.

                - `lr_warmup_epochs` : int (default=0)

                    Number of epochs for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
                    Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_epoch`.
                    When lr_warmup_epochs > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
                    once per epoch.

                - `lr_warmup_steps` : int (default=0)

                    Number of steps for learning rate warm up - see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf (Section 2.2).
                    Relevant for `warmup_mode=warmup_linear_step`.
                    When lr_warmup_steps > 0, the learning rate will be increased linearly from 0 to the `initial_lr`
                    for a total number of steps according to formula: min(lr_warmup_steps, len(train_loader)).
                    The capping is done to avoid interference of warmup with epoch-based schedulers.

                - `cosine_final_lr_ratio` : float (default=0.01)
                    Final learning rate ratio (only relevant when `lr_mode`='cosine'). The cosine starts from initial_lr and reaches
                     initial_lr * cosine_final_lr_ratio in last epoch

                - `inital_lr` : float

                    Initial learning rate.

                - `loss` : Union[nn.module, str]

                    Loss function for training.
                    One of SuperGradient's built in options:

                              "cross_entropy": LabelSmoothingCrossEntropyLoss,
                              "mse": MSELoss,
                              "r_squared_loss": RSquaredLoss,
                              "detection_loss": YoLoV3DetectionLoss,
                              "shelfnet_ohem_loss": ShelfNetOHEMLoss,
                              "shelfnet_se_loss": ShelfNetSemanticEncodingLoss,
                              "ssd_loss": SSDLoss,


                    or user defined nn.module loss function.

                    IMPORTANT: forward(...) should return a (loss, loss_items) tuple where loss is the tensor used
                    for backprop (i.e what your original loss function returns), and loss_items should be a tensor of
                    shape (n_items), of values computed during the forward pass which we desire to log over the
                    entire epoch. For example- the loss itself should always be logged. Another example is a scenario
                    where the computed loss is the sum of a few components we would like to log- these entries in
                    loss_items).

                    IMPORTANT:When dealing with external loss classes, to logg/monitor the loss_items as described
                    above by specific string name:

                    Set a "component_names" property in the loss class, whos instance is passed through train_params,
                     to be a list of strings, of length n_items who's ith element is the name of the ith entry in loss_items.
                     Then each item will be logged, rendered on tensorboard and "watched" (i.e saving model checkpoints
                     according to it) under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"<COMPONENT_NAME>. If a single item is returned rather then a
                     tuple, it would be logged under <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>. When there is no such attributed, the items
                     will be named <LOSS_CLASS.__name__>"/"Loss_"<IDX> according to the length of loss_items

                    For example:
                        class MyLoss(_Loss):
                            ...
                            def forward(self, inputs, targets):
                                ...
                                total_loss = comp1 + comp2
                                loss_items = torch.cat((total_loss.unsqueeze(0),comp1.unsqueeze(0), comp2.unsqueeze(0)).detach()
                                return total_loss, loss_items
                            ...
                            @property
                            def component_names(self):
                                return ["total_loss", "my_1st_component", "my_2nd_component"]

                    Trainer.train(...
                                    train_params={"loss":MyLoss(),
                                                    ...
                                                    "metric_to_watch": "MyLoss/my_1st_component"}

                        This will write to log and monitor MyLoss/total_loss, MyLoss/my_1st_component,
                         MyLoss/my_2nd_component.

                   For example:
                        class MyLoss2(_Loss):
                            ...

                    Whether to apply weight decay on batch normalization parameters or not (ignored when the passed

                    If set, a snapshot dictionary file and the average model will be saved / updated at every epoch
                    and evaluated only when training is completed. The snapshot file will only be deleted upon

                    (ie: effective_batch_size * num_gpus = batch_per_gpu * num_gpus * num_gpus).
                    If precise_bn_batch_size is not provided in the training_params, the latter heuristic will be taken.

                - `dataset_statistics` : bool (default=False)

                    Enable a statistic analysis of the dataset. If set to True the dataset will be analyzed and a report

                    and remote storage. By overriding the default base_sg_logger, you can change the storage location, support external monitoring and logging
                    or support remote storage.

                     When not None, this callback will be applied to images and targets, and returning them to be used
                      for the forward pass, and further computations. Args for this callable should be in the order
                      (inputs, targets, batch_idx) returning modified_inputs, modified_targets
