ResNet-50-THOR Example

Description

This is an example of training ResNet-50 V1.5 with ImageNet2012 dataset by second-order optimizer THOR. THOR is a novel approximate seond-order optimization method in MindSpore. With fewer iterations, THOR can finish ResNet-50 V1.5 training in 72 minutes to top-1 accuracy of 75.9% using 8 Ascend 910, which is much faster than SGD with Momentum.

Requirements

• Install MindSpore.

• Download the dataset ImageNet2012

Unzip the ImageNet2012 dataset to any path you want and the folder structure should include train and eval dataset as follows:

.  
├── ilsvrc                  # train dataset
└── ilsvrc_eval             # infer dataset

Running the example

Train

Usage

# distributed training
Usage: sh run_distribute_train.sh [RANK_TABLE_FILE] [DATASET_PATH] [DEVICE_NUM]

Launch

# distributed training example(8 pcs)
sh run_distribute_train.sh rank_table_8p.json dataset/ilsvrc

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

Result

Training result will be stored in the example path, whose folder name begins with "train_parallel". Under this, you can find checkpoint file together with result like the followings in log.

# distribute training result(8 pcs)
epoch: 1 step: 5004, loss is 4.4182425
epoch: 2 step: 5004, loss is 3.740064
epoch: 3 step: 5004, loss is 4.0546017
epoch: 4 step: 5004, loss is 3.7598825
epoch: 5 step: 5004, loss is 3.3744206
......

Infer

Usage

# infer
Usage: sh run_eval.sh [DATASET_PATH] [CHECKPOINT_PATH]

Launch

# infer with checkpoint
sh run_eval.sh dataset/ilsvrc_eval train_parallel0/resnet-42_5004.ckpt

checkpoint can be produced in training process.

Result

Inference result will be stored in the example path, whose folder name is "infer". Under this, you can find result like the followings in log.

result: {'acc': 0.759503041} ckpt=train_parallel0/resnet-42_5004.ckpt
