InceptionV3 Description

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.

Paper Min Sun, Ali Farhadi, Steve Seitz. Ranking Domain-Specific Highlights by Analyzing Edited Videos[J]. 2014.

Model architecture

The overall network architecture of InceptionV3 is show below:

Dataset

Dataset used can refer to paper.

• Dataset size: 125G, 1250k colorful images in 1000 classes
  • Train: 120G, 1200k images
  • Test: 5G, 50k images
• Data format: RGB images.
  • Note: Data will be processed in src/dataset.py

Features

Mixed Precision(Ascend)

The mixed precision 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

Usage

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

• Ascend:

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

Notes:
RANK_TABLE_FILE can refer to Link , and the device_ip can be got as [Link]https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools.

• GPU:

# distribute training example(8p)
sh run_distribute_train_gpu.sh DATA_DIR 
# standalone training
sh run_standalone_train_gpu.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR

Launch

# 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 run_distribute_train.sh RANK_TABLE_FILE DATA_PATH
      # standalone training
      sh 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.

epoch: 0 step: 1251, loss is 5.7787247
Epoch time: 360760.985, per step time: 288.378
epoch: 1 step: 1251, loss is 4.392868
Epoch time: 160917.911, per step time: 128.631

Eval process

Usage

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

• Ascend:

	sh run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT

• GPU:

	sh run_eval_gpu.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT

Launch

# 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 run_eval.sh DEVICE_ID DATA_DIR PATH_CHECKPOINT
