# [InceptionV3 Description](#contents)

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.

# [Features](#contents)

## [Mixed Precision(Ascend)](#contents)

The [mixed precision](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorial/training/en/master/advanced_use/enable_mixed_precision.html) 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](#contents)

### Usage

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

- Ascend:

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

> Notes: RANK_TABLE_FILE can refer to [Link](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorial/training/en/master/advanced_use/distributed_training_ascend.html), and the device_ip can be got as [Link](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools). 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`

- GPU:

```python
# distribute training example(8p)
sh scripts/run_distribute_train_gpu.sh DATA_DIR
# standalone training
sh scripts/run_standalone_train_gpu.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR
```

### Launch

```python
# training example
  python:
      Ascend: python train.py --dataset_path /dataset/train --platform Ascend
      GPU: python train.py --dataset_path /dataset/train --platform GPU

  shell:
      Ascend:
      # distribute training example(8p)
      sh scripts/run_distribute_train.sh RANK_TABLE_FILE DATA_PATH
      # standalone training
      sh scripts/run_standalone_train.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_PATH
      GPU:
      # distributed training example(8p)
      sh scripts/run_distribute_train_gpu.sh /dataset/train
      # standalone training example
      sh scripts/run_standalone_train_gpu.sh 0 /dataset/train
```

### 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.

```python
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
```

## [Eval process](#contents)

### Usage

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

- Ascend:

```python
    sh scripts/run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT
```

- GPU:

```python
    sh scripts/run_eval_gpu.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT
```

### Launch

```python
# eval example
  python:
      Ascend: python eval.py --dataset_path DATA_DIR --checkpoint PATH_CHECKPOINT --platform Ascend
      GPU: python eval.py --dataset_path DATA_DIR --checkpoint PATH_CHECKPOINT --platform GPU

  shell:
      Ascend: sh scripts/run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT
      GPU: sh scripts/run_eval_gpu.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR 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`.

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