class CyclicLR(object):
    """Sets the learning rate of each parameter group according to
    cyclical learning rate policy (CLR). The policy cycles the learning
    rate between two boundaries with a constant frequency, as detailed in
    the paper `Cyclical Learning Rates for Training Neural Networks`_.
    The distance between the two boundaries can be scaled on a per-iteration
    or per-cycle basis.

    Cyclical learning rate policy changes the learning rate after every batch.
    `batch_step` should be called after a batch has been used for training.
    To resume training, save `last_batch_iteration` and use it to instantiate `CycleLR`.

    This class has three built-in policies, as put forth in the paper:
    "triangular":
        A basic triangular cycle w/ no amplitude scaling.
    "triangular2":
        A basic triangular cycle that scales initial amplitude by half each cycle.
    "exp_range":
        A cycle that scales initial amplitude by gamma**(cycle iterations) at each
        cycle iteration.

    This implementation was adapted from the github repo: `bckenstler/CLR`_

    Args:
        optimizer (Optimizer): Wrapped optimizer.
        base_lr (float or list): Initial learning rate which is the
            lower boundary in the cycle for eachparam groups.
            Default: 0.001
        max_lr (float or list): Upper boundaries in the cycle for
            each parameter group. Functionally,
            it defines the cycle amplitude (max_lr - base_lr).
            The lr at any cycle is the sum of base_lr
            and some scaling of the amplitude; therefore
            max_lr may not actually be reached depending on
            scaling function. Default: 0.006
        step_size (int): Number of training iterations per
            half cycle. Authors suggest setting step_size
            2-8 x training iterations in epoch. Default: 2000
        mode (str): One of {triangular, triangular2, exp_range}.
            Values correspond to policies detailed above.
            If scale_fn is not None, this argument is ignored.
            Default: 'triangular'
        gamma (float): Constant in 'exp_range' scaling function:
            gamma**(cycle iterations)
            Default: 1.0
        scale_fn (function): Custom scaling policy defined by a single
            argument lambda function, where
            0 <= scale_fn(x) <= 1 for all x >= 0.
            mode paramater is ignored
            Default: None
        scale_mode (str): {'cycle', 'iterations'}.
            Defines whether scale_fn is evaluated on
            cycle number or cycle iterations (training
            iterations since start of cycle).
            Default: 'cycle'
        last_batch_iteration (int): The index of the last batch. Default: -1

    Example:
        >>> optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.1, momentum=0.9)
        >>> scheduler = torch.optim.CyclicLR(optimizer)
        >>> data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(...)
        >>> for epoch in range(10):
        >>>     for batch in data_loader:
        >>>         scheduler.batch_step()
        >>>         train_batch(...)
