Summary

This simple_pytorch_example project is a toy example of a python script that instantiates and trains a PyTorch neural network on the FashionMNIST dataset with several common and useful features:

Choose between two different neural network architectures
Make architectures parametrizable
Read input arguments from config file or command line
- (command line arguments override config file ones)
Download FashionMNIST dataset if not already downloaded
Monitor training progress on the terminal and/or with TensorBoard logs
- Accuracy, loss, confusion matrix

More details about FashionMNIST can be found here.

It may be useful as a starting point for people who are starting to learn about PyTorch and neural networks.

Prerequisites

We assume that most users will have a GPU driver correctly configured, although the script can also be run on the CPU.

The project should work with your preferred python environment, but I have only tested it with conda (MiniConda 3) local environments. To create a local environment for this project,

conda create --name simple_pytorch_example python=3.9

and then activate it with

conda activate simple_pytorch_example

Installation on Ubuntu Linux

(Tested on Ubuntu Linux Focal 20.04.3 LTS)

Go to the directory where you want to have the project, e.g.

cd Software

Clone the simple_pytorch_example github repository

git clone https://github.com/rcasero/simple_pytorch_example.git

Install the python dependencies

cd simple_pytorch_example
python setup.py install

`train_simple_pytorch_example.py`: Main script to train the neural network

You can run the script train_simple_pytorch_example.py as

./train_simple_pytorch_example.py [options]

python train_simple_pytorch_example.py [options]

Usage summary

usage: train_simple_pytorch_example.py [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [-v] [--workdir DIR] [-d STR] [-e N] [-b N] [-l F] [--validation_ratio F] [-n STR] [--conv_out_features N [N ...]]
                                       [--conv_kernel_size N] [--maxpool_kernel_size N]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
                        config file path
  -v, --verbose         verbose output for debugging
  --workdir DIR         working directory to place data, logs, weights, etc subdirectories (def .)
  -d STR, --device STR  device to train on (def 'cuda', 'cpu')
  -e N, --epochs N      number of epochs for training (def 10)
  -b N, --batch_size N  batch size for training (def 64)
  -l F, --learning_rate F
                        learning rate for training (def 1e-3)
  --validation_ratio F  ratio of training dataset reserved for validation (def 0.0)
  -n STR, --nn STR      neural network architecture (def 'SimpleCNN', 'SimpleLinearNN')
  --conv_out_features N [N ...]
                        (SimpleCNN only) number of output features for each convolutional block (def 8 16)
  --conv_kernel_size N  (SimpleCNN only) kernel size of convolutional layers (def 3)
  --maxpool_kernel_size N
                        (SimpleCNN only) kernel size of max pool layers (def 2)

Args that start with '--' (eg. -v) can also be set in a config file (specified via -c). Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c]
(for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override config file values
which override defaults.

Options not provided to the script take default values, e.g. running ./train_simple_pytorch_example.py -v produces the output

** Arg breakdown (defaults / config file / command line):
Command Line Args:   -v
Defaults:
  --workdir:         .
  --device:          cuda
  --epochs:          10
  --batch_size:      64
  --learning_rate:   0.001
  --validation_ratio:0.0
  --nn:              SimpleCNN
  --conv_out_features:[8, 16]
  --conv_kernel_size:3
  --maxpool_kernel_size:2

Arguments that start with -- can have their default values overridden using a configuration file (-c CONFIG_FILE). A configuration file is just a text file (e.g. config.txt) that looks like this:

device = cuda
epochs = 20
batch_size = 64
learning_rate = 1e-3
validation_ratio = 0.2
nn = SimpleCNN
conv_out_features = [8, 16]
conv_kernel_size = 3
maxpool_kernel_size = 2

Note that when running ./train_simple_pytorch_example.py -v -c config.txt the defaults have been replaced by the arguments provided in the config file:

** Arg breakdown (defaults / config file / command line):
Command Line Args:   -v -c config.txt
Config File (config.txt):
  device:            cuda
  epochs:            20
  batch_size:        64
  learning_rate:     1e-3
  validation_ratio:  0.2
  nn:                SimpleCNN
  conv_out_features: [8, 16]
  conv_kernel_size:  3
  maxpool_kernel_size:2
Defaults:
  --workdir:         .

Command line arguments override both defaults and configuration file arguments, e.g.

./train_simple_pytorch_example.py --nn SimpleCNN -v --conv_out_features 8 16 32 -e 5

FashionMNIST data download

When train_simple_pytorch_example.py runs, it checks whether the FashionMNIST data has already been downloaded to WORKDIR/data, and if not, it downloads it automatically.

Network architectures

We provide two neural network architectures that can be selected with option --nn SimpleLinearNN or --nn SimpleCNN.

SimpleCNN is a traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) formed by concatenation of convolutional blocks (Conv2d + ReLU + MaxPool2d + BatchNorm2d). Those blocks are followed by a 1x1 convolution and a fully connected layer with 10 outputs. The hyperparameters that the user can configure are (they are ignored for the other network):

--conv_kernel_size N: Size of the convolutional kernels (NxN, dafault 3x3).
--maxpool_kernel_size N: Size of the maxpool kernels (NxN, dafault 2x2).
--conv_out_features N1 [N2 ...]: Each number adds a convolutional block with the corresponding number of output features. E.g. --conv_out_features 8 16 32 creates a network with 3 blocks

General training options

Currently, the loss (torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss) and optimizer (torch.optim.SGD) are fixed.

Parameters common to both architectures are

--epochs N: number of training epochs.
--batch_size N: size of the training batch (if the dataset size is not a multiple of the batch size, the last batch will be smaller).
--learning_rate F: learning rate.
--validation_ratio F: by default, the script uses all the training data in FashionMNIST for training. But the user can choose to split the training data between training and validation. (The test data is a separate dataset in FashionMNIST).

Output network parameters

Once the network is trained, the model.state_dict() is saved to WORKDIR/models/LOGFILENAME.state_dict.

Monitoring

Option --verbose outputs detailed information about the script arguments, datasets, network architecture and training progress.

train mean loss: 0.8822  [  6400/ 60000]
...

Training progress can also be monitored with TensorBoard. The script saves TensorBoard logs to WORKDIR/runs, with a filename formed by the date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH-MM-SS), hostname and network architecture (e.g. 2021-11-25_01-15-49_marcel_SimpleCNN). To monitor the logs either during training or afterwards, run

tensorboard --logdir=runs &

and browse the URL displayed on the terminal, e.g. http://localhost:6006/.

If you are working remotely on the GPU server, you need to forward the remote server's port to your local machine

ssh -L 6006:localhost:6006 [email protected]_IP

We provide plots for Accuracy (%), Mean loss and the Confusion Matrix

Bayesian-Torch is a library of neural network layers and utilities extending the core of PyTorch to enable the user to perform stochastic variational inference in Bayesian deep neural networks. Bayesian-Torch is designed to be flexible and seamless in extending a deterministic deep neural network architecture to corresponding Bayesian form by simply replacing the deterministic layers with Bayesian layers.

This is the official repo for TransFill: Reference-guided Image Inpainting by Merging Multiple Color and Spatial Transformations at CVPR'21. According to some product reasons, we are not planning to release the training/testing codes and models. However, we will release the dataset and the scripts to prepare the dataset.
