Summary
pretrainparameter (defaultTrue) to the HIST model's__init__to allow users to skip the pre-training weight-loading phasepretrain=False, the weight-loading block infit()is skipped entirely, allowing training from scratchProblem
The HIST model always executes the pretrained weight-loading logic during
fit(), even whenmodel_pathisNone. This creates unnecessary overhead (instantiating a base LSTMModel/GRUModel and transferring weights) and makes it impossible for users to train the architecture from scratch without the pretrain initialization step.Changes
qlib/contrib/model/pytorch_hist.py: Addedpretrain=Trueparameter to__init__, stored asself.pretrain, and wrapped the weight-loading block infit()withif self.pretrain:Usage
```yaml
Existing behavior (unchanged) — pretrain weights are loaded
model:
class: HIST
kwargs:
pretrain: True # default, can be omitted
model_path: "path/to/pretrained_model.pkl"
New: skip pretrain entirely, train from scratch
model:
class: HIST
kwargs:
pretrain: False
```
Closes #2074
