InceptionV3 Description

InceptionV3 by Google is the 3rd version in a series of Deep Learning Convolutional Architectures. Inception v3 mainly focuses on burning less computational power by modifying the previous Inception architectures. This idea was proposed in the paper Rethinking the Inception Architecture for Computer Vision, published in 2015.

Paper Min Sun, Ali Farhadi, Steve Seitz. Ranking Domain-Specific Highlights by Analyzing Edited Videos[J]. 2014.

  • Train: 120G, 1200k images
  • Test: 5G, 50k images
• Data format: RGB images.
  • Note: Data will be processed in src/dataset.py

Dataset used: CIFAR-10

• Dataset size: 175M, 60,000 32*32 colorful images in 10 classes
  • Train: 146M, 50,000 images
  • Test: 29M, 10,000 images
• Data format：binary files
  • Note：Data will be processed in src/dataset.py

Features

Mixed Precision(Ascend)

The mixed precision training method accelerates the deep learning neural network training process by using both the single-precision and half-precision data formats, and maintains the network precision achieved by the single-precision training at the same time. Mixed precision training can accelerate the computation process, reduce memory usage, and enable a larger model or batch size to be trained on specific hardware.

For FP16 operators, if the input data type is FP32, the backend of MindSpore will automatically handle it with reduced precision. Users could check the reduced-precision operators by enabling INFO log and then searching ‘reduce precision’.

Training process

Usage

You can start training using python or shell scripts. The usage of shell scripts as follows:

• Ascend:

# distribute training(8p)
sh scripts/run_distribute_train.sh RANK_TABLE_FILE DATA_PATH
# standalone training
sh scripts/run_standalone_train.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_PATH

• CPU:

# standalone training
sh scripts/run_standalone_train_cpu.sh DATA_PATH

Notes: RANK_TABLE_FILE can refer to Link, and the device_ip can be got as Link. For large models like InceptionV3, it's better to export an external environment variable export HCCL_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=600 to extend hccl connection checking time from the default 120 seconds to 600 seconds. Otherwise, the connection could be timeout since compiling time increases with the growth of model size.

This is processor cores binding operation regarding the device_num and total processor numbers. If you are not expect to do it, remove the operations taskset in scripts/run_distribute_train.sh

Launch

# training example
  python:
      Ascend: python train.py --config_path CONFIG_FILE --dataset_path DATA_PATH --platform Ascend
      CPU: python train.py --config_path CONFIG_FILE --dataset_path DATA_PATH --platform CPU

  shell:
      Ascend:
      # distribute training example(8p)
      sh scripts/run_distribute_train.sh RANK_TABLE_FILE DATA_PATH
      # standalone training example
      sh scripts/run_standalone_train.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_PATH

      CPU:
      sh script/run_standalone_train_cpu.sh DATA_PATH

Result

Training result will be stored in the example path. Checkpoints will be stored at . /checkpoint by default, and training log will be redirected to ./log.txt like followings.

Ascend

epoch: 0 step: 1251, loss is 5.7787247
epoch time: 360760.985 ms, per step time: 288.378 ms
epoch: 1 step: 1251, loss is 4.392868
epoch time: 160917.911 ms, per step time: 128.631 ms

CPU

epoch: 1 step: 390, loss is 2.7072601
epoch time: 6334572.124 ms, per step time: 16242.493 ms
epoch: 2 step: 390, loss is 2.5908582
epoch time: 6217897.644 ms, per step time: 15943.327 ms
epoch: 3 step: 390, loss is 2.5612416
epoch time: 6358482.104 ms, per step time: 16303.800 ms
...

Eval process

Usage

You can start training using python or shell scripts. The usage of shell scripts as follows:

• Ascend:

    sh scripts/run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_PATH PATH_CHECKPOINT

• CPU:

    sh scripts/run_eval_cpu.sh DATA_PATH PATH_CHECKPOINT

Launch

# eval example
  python:
      Ascend: python eval.py --config_path CONFIG_FILE --dataset_path DATA_PATH --checkpoint PATH_CHECKPOINT --platform Ascend
      CPU: python eval.py --config_path CONFIG_FILE --dataset_path DATA_PATH --checkpoint PATH_CHECKPOINT --platform CPU

  shell:
      Ascend: sh scripts/run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_PATH PATH_CHECKPOINT
      CPU: sh scripts/run_eval_cpu.sh DATA_PATH PATH_CHECKPOINT

checkpoint can be produced in training process.

Result

Evaluation result will be stored in the example path, you can find result like the followings in eval.log.

metric: {'Loss': 1.778, 'Top1-Acc':0.788, 'Top5-Acc':0.942}

Model Export

python export.py --config_path CONFIG_FILE --ckpt_file [CKPT_PATH] --device_target [DEVICE_TARGET] --file_format[EXPORT_FORMAT]

EXPORT_FORMAT should be in ["AIR", "MINDIR"]

Inference Process

Usage

Before performing inference, the model file must be exported by export script on the Ascend910 environment.

# Ascend310 inference
sh run_infer_310.sh [MINDIR_PATH] [DATA_PATH] [ANN_FILE] [DEVICE_ID]

-NOTE: Ascend310 inference use Imagenet dataset . The label of the image is the number of folder which is started from 0 after sorting.

result

Inference result is saved in current path, you can find result like this in acc.log file.

accuracy:78.742
