Awesome CIFAR Zoo

Status: Archive ( Final test with PyTorch 1.7 and no longer maintained, I would recommend you to use pycls powered by FAIR, which is a simple and flexible codebase for image classification )

This repository contains the pytorch code for multiple CNN architectures and improve methods based on the following papers, hope the implementation and results will helpful for your research!!

• Architecure
  • (lenet) LeNet-5, convolutional neural networks
  • (alexnet) ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Requirements and Usage

Requirements

• Python (>=3.6)
• PyTorch (>=1.1.0)
• Tensorboard(>=1.4.0) (for visualization)
• Other dependencies (pyyaml, easydict)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

simply run the cmd for the training:

## 1 GPU for lenet
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -u train.py --work-path ./experiments/cifar10/lenet

## resume from ckpt
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -u train.py --work-path ./experiments/cifar10/lenet --resume

## 2 GPUs for resnet1202
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -u train.py --work-path ./experiments/cifar10/preresnet1202

## 4 GPUs for densenet190bc
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python -u train.py --work-path ./experiments/cifar10/densenet190bc

## 1 GPU for vgg19 inference
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -u eval.py --work-path ./experiments/cifar10/vgg19

We use yaml file config.yaml to save the parameters, check any files in ./experimets for more details.
You can see the training curve via tensorboard, tensorboard --logdir path-to-event --port your-port.
The training log will be dumped via logging, check log.txt in your work path.

With additional regularization

PS: the default data augmentation methods are RandomCrop + RandomHorizontalFlip + Normalize,
and the √ means which additional method be used. 🍰
