        Plots loss as learning rate is increased.  Highest learning rate 
        corresponding to a still falling loss should be chosen.

        If you find the LR finder is running for more epochs than you'd prefer,
        you can set max_epochs (e.g., max_epochs=5) to estimate LR with a 
        smaller sample size.

        If lr_mult is supplied and max_epochs is None, LR will increase until loss diverges.
        Reasonable values of lr_mult are between 1.01 and 1.05.

        If max_epochs is supplied, lr_mult argument is ignored and computed automatically.

        Reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01186

        Args:
            start_lr (float): smallest lr to start simulation
            lr_mult (float): multiplication factor to increase LR.
                             Ignored if max_epochs is supplied.
            max_epochs (int):  maximum number of epochs to simulate.
                               lr_mult is ignored if max_epoch is supplied.
                               Default is None. Set max_epochs to an integer
                               (e.g., 5) if lr_find is taking too long
                               and running for more epochs than desired.
            class_weight(dict): class_weight parameter passed to model.fit
                                for imbalanced datasets.
            stop_factor(int): factor used to determine threhsold that loss 
                              must exceed to stop training simulation.
                              Increase this if loss is erratic and lr_find
                              exits too early.
            show_plot (bool):  If True, automatically invoke lr_plot
            restore_weights_only(bool): If True, when training simulation is complete,
                                        the model weights only are restored, but not
                                        the original optimizer weights.  
                                        In at least a few cases, this seems to improve performance
                                        when actual training begins. Further investigation is needed,
                                        so it is False by default.

        Automatically train model using a default learning rate schedule shown to work well
        in practice.  By default, this method currently employs a triangular learning 
        rate policy (https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01186).  
        During each epoch, this learning rate policy varies the learning rate from lr/10 to lr
        and then back to a low learning rate that is near-zero. 
        If epochs is None, then early_stopping and reduce_on_plateau are atomatically
        set to 6 and 3, respectively.

        Args:
            lr (float): optional initial learning rate.  If missing,
                       lr will be estimated automatically.
                       It is recommended that you estimate lr yourself by 
                       running lr_finder (and lr_plot) and visually inspect plot
                       for dramatic loss drop.
            epochs (int): Number of epochs.  If None, training will continue until
                          validation loss no longer improves after 5 epochs.
            early_stopping (int):     If not None, training will automatically stop after this many 
                                      epochs of no improvement in validation loss.
                                      Upon completion, model will be loaded with weights from epoch
                                      with lowest validation loss.
                                      NOTE: If reduce_on_plateau is also enabled, then
                                      early_stopping must be greater than reduce_on_plateau.
                                      Example: early_stopping=6, reduce_on_plateau=3.
            reduce_on_plateau (int):  If not None, will lower learning rate when
                                      when validation loss fails to improve after
                                      the specified number of epochs.
                                      NOTE: If early_stopping is enabled, then
                                      reduce_on_plateu must be less than early_stopping.
                                      Example: early_stopping=6, reduce_on_plateau=3.
            reduce_factor (int):      Learning reate is reduced by this factor on plateau.
                                      Only takes effect if reduce_on_plateau > 0.
            cycle_momentum (bool):    If True and optimizer is Adam, Nadam, or Adamax, momentum of 
                                      optimzer will be cycled between 0.95 and 0.85 as described in
