Perceiver IO
Unofficial PyTorch implementation of
- Perceiver: General Perception with Iterative Attention
- Perceiver IO: A General Architecture for Structured Inputs & Outputs
This implementation supports training of Perceiver IO models with Pytorch Lightning on some example tasks via a command line interface. Perceiver IO models are constructed using generic encoder and decoder classes and task-specific input and output adapters (see Model API).
Setup
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate perceiver-io
export PYTHONPATH=.
Tasks
In the following subsections, Perceiver IO models are trained on some example tasks at smaller scale. In particular, they were trained on two NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPUs (8 GB memory each) using Pytorch Lightning's support for distributed data-parallel training. I didn't really tune model architectures and other hyper-parameters, so you'll probably get better results with a bit of experimentation. Support for more datasets and tasks will be added later.
Masked language modeling
Pretrain a Perceiver IO model on masked language modeling (MLM) with text from the IMDB training set. The pretrained encoder is then used for training a sentiment classification model.
python train/train_mlm.py --dataset=imdb --learning_rate=1e-3 --batch_size=64 \
--max_epochs=200 --dropout=0.0 --weight_decay=0.0 \
--accelerator=ddp --gpus=-1
All available command line options and their default values can be displayed with python train/train_mlm.py -h.
Sentiment classification
Train a classification decoder using a frozen encoder from masked language modeling. If you ran MLM yourself you'll need to modify the --mlm_checkpoint argument accordingly, otherwise download checkpoints from here and extract them in the root directory of this project.
python train/train_seq_clf.py --dataset=imdb --learning_rate=1e-3 --batch_size=128 \
--max_epochs=15 --dropout=0.0 --weight_decay=1e-3 --freeze_encoder \
--accelerator=ddp --gpus=-1 \
--mlm_checkpoint 'logs/mlm/version_0/checkpoints/epoch=199-val_loss=4.899.ckpt'
Unfreeze the encoder and jointly fine-tune it together with the decoder that has been trained in the previous step. If you ran the previous step yourself you'll need to modify the --clf_checkpoint argument accordingly, otherwise download checkpoints from here.
python train/train_seq_clf.py --dataset=imdb --learning_rate=1e-4 --batch_size=128 \
--max_epochs=15 --dropout=0.2 --weight_decay=1e-3 \
--accelerator=ddp --gpus=-1 \
--clf_checkpoint 'logs/seq_clf/version_0/checkpoints/epoch=014-val_loss=0.350.ckpt'
All available command line options and their default values can be displayed with python train/train_seq_clf.py -h.
Image classification
Classify MNIST images. See also Model API for details about the underlying Perceiver IO model.
python train/train_img_clf.py --dataset=mnist --learning_rate=1e-3 --batch_size=128 \
--max_epochs=20 --dropout=0.0 --weight_decay=1e-4 \
--accelerator=ddp --gpus=-1
All available command line options and their default values can be displayed with python train/train_img_clf.py -h.
Model API
The model API is based on generic encoder and decoder classes (PerceiverEncoder and PerceiverDecoder) and task-specific input and output adapters. The following snippet shows how they can be used to create an MNIST image classifier, for example:
from perceiver.adapter import ImageInputAdapter, ClassificationOutputAdapter
from perceiver.model import PerceiverIO, PerceiverEncoder, PerceiverDecoder
latent_shape = (32, 128)
# Fourier-encode pixel positions and flatten along spatial dimensions
input_adapter = ImageInputAdapter(image_shape=(28, 28, 1), num_frequency_bands=32)
# Project generic Perceiver decoder output to specified number of classes
output_adapter = ClassificationOutputAdapter(num_classes=10, num_output_channels=128)
# Generic Perceiver encoder
encoder = PerceiverEncoder(
input_adapter=input_adapter,
latent_shape=latent_shape,
num_layers=3,
num_cross_attention_heads=4,
num_self_attention_heads=4,
num_self_attention_layers_per_block=3,
dropout=0.0)
# Generic Perceiver decoder
decoder = PerceiverDecoder(
output_adapter=output_adapter,
latent_shape=latent_shape,
num_cross_attention_heads=1,
dropout=0.0)
# MNIST classifier implemented as Perceiver IO model
mnist_classifier = PerceiverIO(encoder, decoder)
Tensorboard
Commands in section Tasks write Tensorboard logs to the logs directory. They can be visualized with tensorboard --logir logs. MLM training additionally writes predictions of masked sample text to Tensorboard's TEXT page. For example, the command
python train/train_mlm.py --dataset=imdb --learning_rate=1e-3 --batch_size=64 \
--max_epochs=200 --dropout=0.0 --weight_decay=0.0 \
--accelerator=ddp --gpus=-1 --predict_k=5 \
--predict_samples='i have watched this [MASK] and it was awesome'
writes the top 5 predictions for I have watched this [MASK] and it was awesome to Tensorboard after each epoch:
i have watched this [MASK] and it was awesome
i have watched this movie and it was awesome
i have watched this show and it was awesome
i have watched this film and it was awesome
i have watched this series and it was awesome
i have watched this dvd and it was awesome
