Adversarial Pruning Description

The Adversarial Pruning method is a reliable neural network pruning algorithm by setting up a scientific control. We prefer to have a more rigorous research design by including a scientific control group as an essential part to minimize the effect of all factors except the association between the filter and expected network output. Acting as a control group, knockoff feature is generated to mimic the feature map produced by the network filter, but they are conditionally independent of the example label given the real feature map. Besides the real feature map on an intermediate layer, the corresponding knockoff feature is brought in as another auxiliary input signal for the subsequent layers.

Training process

To Be Done

Eval process

Usage

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start evaluation as follows:

Launch

# infer example
  
  Ascend: python eval.py --dataset_path ~/Pets/test.mindrecord --platform Ascend --checkpoint_path [CHECKPOINT_PATH]
  GPU: python eval.py --dataset_path ~/Pets/test.mindrecord --platform GPU --checkpoint_path [CHECKPOINT_PATH]

checkpoint can be produced in training process.

Result

result: {'acc': 0.8023984736985554} ckpt= ./resnet50-imgnet-0.65x-80.24.ckpt
