[data, trainer] feat: add text training-time validation - #1083
WenzheWang wants to merge 3 commits into

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTraining-time Text SFT validation now uses deterministic exact distributed batching, weighted loss aggregation, supported-configuration checks, trainer wiring, scheduled callback execution, and updated documentation. ChangesTraining-time validation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds scheduled distributed text validation, but validation metrics may use a different token denominator than training and the scheduling condition is duplicated, risking misleading loss comparisons or evaluations running at unintended steps. The change is not merge-ready without explicit owner confirmation or follow-up on these bounded correctness and integration risks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

41-46: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 TrivialA rank-local validation failure will hang the job instead of crashing it.
runner.run()containsdist.all_reduceover the DP group. If the validation forward raises on one rank only, for example an out-of-memory error at a longer evaluation sequence, that rank propagates the exception while the other ranks block inall_reduceuntil the collective timeout. The training forward has the same property, so this is not a regression. It is still worth deciding whether a validation pass should be able to stall a long training job.Consider one of these operational measures: reduce a per-rank success flag before the loss reduction, or catch the exception, log it, and skip the validation pass.

638-650: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winThe "validation requested" predicate is duplicated, and the guard fires late.
Two points on this guard:
- The predicate
args.data.eval_path is not None and bool(args.train.eval_steps or args.train.eval_epochs)is an exact copy ofTextValidationRunner.is_requestedinveomni/trainer/validation.pyLines 78-80. Two copies of one configuration contract drift apart. ImportTextValidationRunner.is_requestedhere, or move the predicate into a shared helper that both call._init_callbacksruns last inBaseTrainer.__init__and inTextTrainer.__init__. AVLMTrainerjob withdata.eval_pathset therefore builds the model, loads weights, and builds the optimizer before it raises. Moving this check into_setupwould reject the configuration in seconds instead of after a full weight load.♻️ Proposed consolidation of the predicate

This test covers CPU/Gloo only. It does not exercise batch transfer to an accelerator, FSDP2 forward execution, or accelerator collectives. Add a supported CUDA FSDP2 test with uneven exact batches. Add an NPU variant if supported CI provides one.
As per path instructions, “Prefer tests that catch rank, shape, device, and packing bugs.”

@coderabbitai I validated the current PR head
The PR body is updated with the exact-head configuration and results. Together, the automated distributed test and exact-head accelerator smoke cover uneven exact batching, accelerator transfer, FSDP2 forward execution, NCCL collectives, distributed reduction, scheduling, and state restoration. |
