Dogs classification with Deep Metric Learning using some popular losses

Overview

Tsinghua Dogs classification with
Deep Metric Learning

1. Introduction

Tsinghua Dogs dataset

Tsinghua Dogs is a fine-grained classification dataset for dogs, over 65% of whose images are collected from people's real life. Each dog breed in the dataset contains at least 200 images and a maximum of 7,449 images. For more info, see dataset's homepage.

Following is the brief information about the dataset:

  • Number of categories: 130
  • Number of training images: 65228
  • Number of validating images: 5200

Variation in Tsinghua Dogs dataset. (a) Great Danes exhibit large variations in appearance, while (b) Norwich terriers and (c) Australian terriers are quite similar to each other. (Source)

Deep metric learning

Deep metric learning (DML) aims to measure the similarity among samples by training a deep neural network and a distance metric such as Euclidean distance or Cosine distance. For fine-grained data, in which the intra-class variances are larger than inter-class variances, DML proves to be useful in classification tasks.

Goal

In this projects, I use deep metric learning to classify dog images in Tsinghua Dogs dataset. Those loss functions are implemented:

  1. Triplet loss
  2. Proxy-NCA loss
  3. Proxy-anchor loss: In progress
  4. Soft-triple loss: In progress

I also evaluate models' performance on some common metrics:

  1. Precision at k ([email protected])
  2. Mean average precision (MAP)
  3. Top-k accuracy
  4. Normalized mutual information (NMI)


2. Benchmarks

  • Architecture: Resnet-50 for feature extractions.
  • Embedding size: 128.
  • Batch size: 48.
  • Number of epochs: 100.
  • Online hard negatives mining.
  • Augmentations:
    • Random horizontal flip.
    • Random brightness, contrast and saturation.
    • Random affine with rotation, scale and translation.

Proxy-NCA loss 89.10% 90.26% 89.28% 87.76% 99.39% 0.98

Similarity matrix of some images in validation set

  • Each cell represent the L2 distance between 2 images.
  • The closer distance to 0 (blue), the more similar.
  • The larger distance (green), the more dissimilar.

4.2 Prepare Tsinghua Dogs dataset

PYTHONPATH=./ python src/scripts/prepare_TsinghuaDogs.py --output_dir data/

Directory data should be like this:

4.3 Train model

  • Train with proxy-nca loss
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=./ python src/main.py --train_dir data/TsinghuaDogs/train --test_dir data/TsinghuaDogs/val --loss proxy_nca --config src/configs/proxy_nca_loss.yaml --checkpoint_root_dir src/checkpoints/proxynca-resnet50
  • Train with triplet loss
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=./ python src/main.py --train_dir data/TsinghuaDogs/train --test_dir data/TsinghuaDogs/val --loss tripletloss --config src/configs/triplet_loss.yaml --checkpoint_root_dir src/checkpoints/tripletloss-resnet50

Run PYTHONPATH=./ python src/main.py --help for more detail about arguments.

If you want to train on 2 gpus, replace CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 and so on.

If you encounter out of memory issues, try reducing classes_per_batch and samples_per_class in src/configs/triplet_loss.yaml or batch_size in src/configs/your-loss.yaml
