myoverse.datasets.datamodule.DataModule.val_dataloader#

DataModule.val_dataloader()[source]#

An iterable or collection of iterables specifying validation samples.

For more information about multiple dataloaders, see this section.

The dataloader you return will not be reloaded unless you set :paramref:`~lightning.pytorch.trainer.trainer.Trainer.reload_dataloaders_every_n_epochs` to a positive integer.

It’s recommended that all data downloads and preparation happen in prepare_data().

  • fit()

  • validate()

  • prepare_data()

  • setup()

Note

Lightning tries to add the correct sampler for distributed and arbitrary hardware There is no need to set it yourself.

Note

If you don’t need a validation dataset and a validation_step(), you don’t need to implement this method.

Return type:

DataLoader
