Description
I used arcface_torch to train with my own dataset as follow:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 nohup python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 --nnodes=1 --node_rank=0 --master_addr="127.0.0.1" --master_port=1234 train.py --network r50 --loss arcface
But it encountered the loss NAN problem as follow:

Someone said that reducing LR can avoid this mistake.
but even I reduced the learning rate to 0.001, it still happens.

Research direction
Start with the train.py entry point and the provided torch.distributed.launch command, then reproduce the run on the reported dataset and inspect the loss around global step 14750. Compare behavior with the reported learning rates and identify the cause of the NaN loss; done means training completes without NaN loss and the cause is documented.
