AdderNet: Do We Really Need Multiplications in Deep Learning?

This code is a demo of CVPR 2020 paper AdderNet: Do We Really Need Multiplications in Deep Learning?

We present adder networks (AdderNets) to trade massive multiplications in deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for much cheaper additions to reduce computation costs. In AdderNets, we take the L1-norm distance between filters and input feature as the output response. As a result, the proposed AdderNets can achieve 74.9% Top-1 accuracy 91.7% Top-5 accuracy using ResNet-50 on the ImageNet dataset without any multiplication in convolution layer.

Run python main.py to train on CIFAR-10.

Requirements

• python 3
• pytorch >= 1.1.0
• torchvision

Preparation

You can follow pytorch/examples to prepare the ImageNet data.

The pretrained models are available in google drive or baidu cloud (access code:126b)

Usage

Run python main.py to train on CIFAR-10.

Run python test.py --data_dir 'path/to/imagenet_root/' to evaluate on ImageNet val set. You will achieve 74.9% Top accuracy and 91.7% Top-5 accuracy on the ImageNet dataset using ResNet-50.

Run python test.py --dataset cifar10 --model_dir models/ResNet20-AdderNet.pth --data_dir 'path/to/cifar10_root/' to evaluate on CIFAR-10. You will achieve 91.8% accuracy on the CIFAR-10 dataset using ResNet-20.

The inference and training of AdderNets is slow since the adder filters is implemented without cuda acceleration. You can write cuda to achieve higher inference speed.
