"""
EarlyStopHandler acts as an Ignite handler to stop training if no improvement after a given number of events.
It‘s based on the `EarlyStopping` handler in ignite.
Args:
patience: number of events to wait if no improvement and then stop the training.
score_function: It should be a function taking a single argument, an :class:`~ignite.engine.engine.Engine`
object that the handler attached, can be a trainer or validator, and return a score `float`.
an improvement is considered if the score is higher.
trainer: trainer engine to stop the run if no improvement, if None, must call `set_trainer()` before training.
min_delta: a minimum increase in the score to qualify as an improvement,
i.e. an increase of less than or equal to `min_delta`, will count as no improvement.
cumulative_delta: if True, `min_delta` defines an increase since the last `patience` reset, otherwise,
it defines an increase after the last event, default to False.
epoch_level: check early stopping for every epoch or every iteration of the attached engine,
`True` is epoch level, `False` is iteration level, default to epoch level.
Note:
If in distributed training and uses loss value of every iteration to detect early stopping,
the values may be different in different ranks.
User may attach this handler to validator engine to detect validation metrics and stop the training,
in this case, the `score_function` is executed on validator engine and `trainer` is the trainer engine.
