DS-CNN Description

DS-CNN, depthwise separable convolutional neural network, was first used in Keyword Spotting in 2017. KWS application has highly constrained power budget and typically runs on tiny microcontrollers with limited memory and compute capability. depthwise separable convolutions are more efficient both in number of parameters and operations, which makes deeper and wider architecture possible even in the resource-constrained microcontroller devices.

Training Process

Training

• running on Ascend

  for shell script:

  # sh srcipts/run_train_ascend.sh [device_id]

  The checkpoints and log will be saved in the train_outputs.

Evaluation Process

Evaluation

• evaluation on Speech commands dataset version 1 when running on Ascend

  Before running the command below, please check the checkpoint path used for evaluation. Please set model_dir in config.py or pass model_dir in your command line.

  for shell scripts:

  # sh scripts/run_eval_ascend.sh device_id model_dir
  sh scripts/run_eval_ascend.sh 0 train_outputs/*/*.ckpt
  or 
  sh scripts/run_eval_ascend.sh 0 train_outputs/*/
  

  for python scripts:

  # python eval.py --device_id device_id --model_dir model_dir
  python eval.py --device_id 0 --model_dir train_outputs/*/*.ckpt
  or 
  python eval.py --device_id 0 --model_dir train_outputs/*
  

  You can view the results on the screen or from logs in eval_outputs folder. The accuracy of the test dataset will be as follows:

  Eval: top1_cor:2805, top5_cor:2963, tot:3000, acc@1=93.50%, acc@5=98.77%
  Best model:train_outputs/*/epoch41-1_223.ckpt acc:93.50%
