簡而言之就是，nn.Sequential類似于Keras中的貫序模型，它是Module的子類，在構(gòu)建數(shù)個網(wǎng)絡層之后會自動調(diào)用forward()方法，從而有網(wǎng)絡模型生成。而nn.ModuleList僅僅類似于pytho中的list類型，只是將一系列層裝入列表，并沒有實現(xiàn)forward()方法，因此也不會有網(wǎng)絡模型產(chǎn)生的副作用。

需要注意的是，nn.ModuleList接受的必須是subModule類型，例如：

nn.ModuleList(
      [nn.ModuleList([Conv(inp_dim + j * increase, oup_dim, 1, relu=False, bn=False) for j in range(5)]) for i in
       range(nstack)])

其中，二次嵌套的list內(nèi)部也必須額外使用一個nn.ModuleList修飾實例化，否則會無法識別類型而報錯！

摘錄自

nn.ModuleList is just like a Python list. It was designed to store any desired number of nn.Module's. It may be useful, for instance, if you want to design a neural network whose number of layers is passed as input:

class LinearNet(nn.Module):
 def __init__(self, input_size, num_layers, layers_size, output_size):
   super(LinearNet, self).__init__()
 
   self.linears = nn.ModuleList([nn.Linear(input_size, layers_size)])
   self.linears.extend([nn.Linear(layers_size, layers_size) for i in range(1, self.num_layers-1)])
   self.linears.append(nn.Linear(layers_size, output_size)

nn.Sequential allows you to build a neural net by specifying sequentially the building blocks (nn.Module's) of that net. Here's an example:

class Flatten(nn.Module):
 def forward(self, x):
  N, C, H, W = x.size() # read in N, C, H, W
  return x.view(N, -1)
 
simple_cnn = nn.Sequential(
      nn.Conv2d(3, 32, kernel_size=7, stride=2),
      nn.ReLU(inplace=True),
      Flatten(), 
      nn.Linear(5408, 10),
     )

In nn.Sequential, the nn.Module's stored inside are connected in a cascaded way. For instance, in the example that I gave, I define a neural network that receives as input an image with 3 channels and outputs 10 neurons. That network is composed by the following blocks, in the following order: Conv2D -> ReLU -> Linear layer. Moreover, an object of type nn.Sequential has a forward() method, so if I have an input image x I can directly call y = simple_cnn(x) to obtain the scores for x. When you define an nn.Sequential you must be careful to make sure that the output size of a block matches the input size of the following block. Basically, it behaves just like a nn.Module

On the other hand, nn.ModuleList does not have a forward() method, because it does not define any neural network, that is, there is no connection between each of the nn.Module's that it stores. You may use it to store nn.Module's, just like you use Python lists to store other types of objects (integers, strings, etc). The advantage of using nn.ModuleList's instead of using conventional Python lists to store nn.Module's is that Pytorch is “aware” of the existence of the nn.Module's inside an nn.ModuleList, which is not the case for Python lists. If you want to understand exactly what I mean, just try to redefine my class LinearNet using a Python list instead of a nn.ModuleList and train it. When defining the optimizer() for that net, you'll get an error saying that your model has no parameters, because PyTorch does not see the parameters of the layers stored in a Python list. If you use a nn.ModuleList instead, you'll get no error.
