VGG16 Example

Description

This example is for VGG16 model training and evaluation.

Requirements

• Install MindSpore.

• Download the dataset CIFAR-10.

Unzip the CIFAR-10 dataset to any path you want and the folder structure should be as follows:

.
├── cifar-10-batches-bin  # train dataset
└── cifar-10-verify-bin   # infer dataset

Running the Example

Training

python train.py --data_path=your_data_path --device_id=6 > out.train.log 2>&1 & 

The python command above will run in the background, you can view the results through the file out.train.log.

After training, you'll get some checkpoint files under the script folder by default.

You will get the loss value as following:

# grep "loss is " out.train.log
epoch: 1 step: 781, loss is 2.093086
epcoh: 2 step: 781, loss is 1.827582
...

Evaluation

python eval.py --data_path=your_data_path --device_id=6 --checkpoint_path=./train_vgg_cifar10-70-781.ckpt > out.eval.log 2>&1 & 

The above python command will run in the background, you can view the results through the file out.eval.log.

You will get the accuracy as following:

# grep "result: " out.eval.log
result: {'acc': 0.92}

Distribute Training

sh run_distribute_train.sh rank_table.json your_data_path

The above shell script will run distribute training in the background, you can view the results through the file train_parallel[X]/log.

You will get the loss value as following:

# grep "result: " train_parallel*/log
train_parallel0/log:epoch: 1 step: 97, loss is 1.9060308
train_parallel0/log:epcoh: 2 step: 97, loss is 1.6003821
...
train_parallel1/log:epoch: 1 step: 97, loss is 1.7095519
train_parallel1/log:epcoh: 2 step: 97, loss is 1.7133579
...
...

About rank_table.json, you can refer to the distributed training tutorial.
