What does this PR do?
This PR does a small refactoring in the
Trainer
class, specifically it moves the logic for the following two steps out of the training loop into separate helper methods:_load_from_checkpoint()
method._load_best_model()
method.The PR does not change any existing logic in any way.
Motivation
In our library, we implement a custom Trainer class that subclasses your great built-in Trainer class. However, as we don't save full model checkpoints during training, the mentioned steps for checkpoint loading are not applicable to our use case. Moving this logic to separate methods would be super helpful to us (and potentially others), since we could easily override these helper methods without modifying the training loop itself.
