+Description: Fix FTBFS with PyTorch >= 2.4: remove deprecated verbose argument
+ PyTorch 2.4 removed the 'verbose' keyword argument from
+ torch.optim.lr_scheduler.ReduceLROnPlateau.__init__() (deprecated since 2.2,
+ removed in 2.4). Passing verbose=True now raises:
+ .
+   TypeError: ReduceLROnPlateau.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'verbose'
+ .
+ Removing the argument restores the original behaviour; LR change events are
+ no longer logged to stdout by the scheduler, which is the upstream default.
