This tutorial will give an indepth look at how to work with several modern CNN architectures, and will build an intuition for finetuning any PyTorch model. Since each model architecture is different, there is no boilerplate finetuning code that will work in all scenarios. Rather, the researcher must look at the existing architecture and make custom adjustments for each model. In this document we will perform two types of transfer learning: finetuning and feature extraction. In **finetuning**, we start with a pretrained model and update *all* of the model’s parameters for our new task, in essence retraining the whole model. In **feature extraction**, we start with a pretrained model and only update the final layer weights from which we derive predictions. It is called feature extraction because we use the pretrained CNN as a fixed feature-extractor, and only change the output layer. For more technical information about transfer learning see `here `__ and `here `__. In general both transfer learning methods follow the same few steps: - Initialize the pretrained model - Reshape the final layer(s) to have the same number of outputs as the number of classes in the new dataset - Define for the optimization algorithm which parameters we want to update during training - Run the training step .. code-block:: python from __future__ import print_function from __future__ import division import torch import torch.nn as nn import torch.optim as optim import numpy as np import torchvision from torchvision import datasets, models, transforms import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import time import os import copy print("PyTorch Version: ",torch.__version__) print("Torchvision Version: ",torchvision.__version__) .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out Out: .. code-block:: none PyTorch Version: 1.0.0.dev20181128 Torchvision Version: 0.2.1 Inputs ------ Here are all of the parameters to change for the run. We will use the *hymenoptera_data* dataset which can be downloaded `here `__. This dataset contains two classes, **bees** and **ants**, and is structured such that we can use the `ImageFolder `__ dataset, rather than writing our own custom dataset. Download the data and set the ``data_dir`` input to the root directory of the dataset. The ``model_name`` input is the name of the model you wish to use and must be selected from this list: :: [resnet, alexnet, vgg, squeezenet, densenet, inception] The other inputs are as follows: ``num_classes`` is the number of classes in the dataset, ``batch_size`` is the batch size used for training and may be adjusted according to the capability of your machine, ``num_epochs`` is the number of training epochs we want to run, and ``feature_extract`` is a boolean that defines if we are finetuning or feature extracting. If ``feature_extract = False``, the model is finetuned and all model parameters are updated. If ``feature_extract = True``, only the last layer parameters are updated, the others remain fixed. .. code-block:: python # Top level data directory. Here we assume the format of the directory conforms # to the ImageFolder structure data_dir = "./hymenoptera_data" # Models to choose from [resnet, alexnet, vgg, squeezenet, densenet, inception] model_name = "squeezenet" # Number of classes in the dataset num_classes = 2 # Batch size for training (change depending on how much memory you have) batch_size = 8 # Number of epochs to train for num_epochs = 15 # Flag for feature extracting. When False, we finetune the whole model, # when True we only update the reshaped layer params feature_extract = True Helper Functions ---------------- Before we write the code for adjusting the models, lets define a few helper functions. Model Training and Validation Code ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ``train_model`` function handles the training and validation of a given model. As input, it takes a PyTorch model, a dictionary of dataloaders, a loss function, an optimizer, a specified number of epochs to train and validate for, and a boolean flag for when the model is an Inception model. The *is_inception* flag is used to accomodate the *Inception v3* model, as that architecture uses an auxiliary output and the overall model loss respects both the auxiliary output and the final output, as described `here `__. The function trains for the specified number of epochs and after each epoch runs a full validation step. It also keeps track of the best performing model (in terms of validation accuracy), and at the end of training returns the best performing model. After each epoch, the training and validation accuracies are printed. .. code-block:: python def train_model(model, dataloaders, criterion, optimizer, num_epochs=25, is_inception=False): since = time.time() val_acc_history = [] best_model_wts = copy.deepcopy(model.state_dict()) best_acc = 0.0 for epoch in range(num_epochs): print('Epoch {}/{}'.format(epoch, num_epochs - 1)) print('-' * 10) # Each epoch has a training and validation phase for phase in ['train', 'val']: if phase == 'train': model.train() # Set model to training mode else: model.eval() # Set model to evaluate mode running_loss = 0.0 running_corrects = 0 # Iterate over data. for inputs, labels in dataloaders[phase]: inputs = inputs.to(device) labels = labels.to(device) # zero the parameter gradients optimizer.zero_grad() # forward # track history if only in train with torch.set_grad_enabled(phase == 'train'): # Get model outputs and calculate loss # Special case for inception because in training it has an auxiliary output. In train # mode we calculate the loss by summing the final output and the auxiliary output # but in testing we only consider the final output. if is_inception and phase == 'train': # From https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/how-to-optimize-inception-model-with-auxiliary-classifiers/7958 outputs, aux_outputs = model(inputs) loss1 = criterion(outputs, labels) loss2 = criterion(aux_outputs, labels) loss = loss1 + 0.4*loss2 else: outputs = model(inputs) loss = criterion(outputs, labels) _, preds = torch.max(outputs, 1) # backward + optimize only if in training phase if phase == 'train': loss.backward() optimizer.step() # statistics running_loss += loss.item() * inputs.size(0) running_corrects += torch.sum(preds == labels.data) epoch_loss = running_loss / len(dataloaders[phase].dataset) epoch_acc = running_corrects.double() / len(dataloaders[phase].dataset) print('{} Loss: {:.4f} Acc: {:.4f}'.format(phase, epoch_loss, epoch_acc)) # deep copy the model if phase == 'val' and epoch_acc > best_acc: best_acc = epoch_acc best_model_wts = copy.deepcopy(model.state_dict()) if phase == 'val': val_acc_history.append(epoch_acc) print() time_elapsed = time.time() - since print('Training complete in {:.0f}m {:.0f}s'.format(time_elapsed // 60, time_elapsed % 60)) print('Best val Acc: {:4f}'.format(best_acc)) # load best model weights model.load_state_dict(best_model_wts) return model, val_acc_history Set Model Parameters’ .requires_grad attribute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This helper function sets the ``.requires_grad`` attribute of the parameters in the model to False when we are feature extracting. By default, when we load a pretrained model all of the parameters have ``.requires_grad=True``, which is fine if we are training from scratch or finetuning. However, if we are feature extracting and only want to compute gradients for the newly initialized layer then we want all of the other parameters to not require gradients. This will make more sense later. .. code-block:: python def set_parameter_requires_grad(model, feature_extracting): if feature_extracting: for param in model.parameters(): param.requires_grad = False Initialize and Reshape the Networks ----------------------------------- Now to the most interesting part. Here is where we handle the reshaping of each network. Note, this is not an automatic procedure and is unique to each model. Recall, the final layer of a CNN model, which is often times an FC layer, has the same number of nodes as the number of output classes in the dataset. Since all of the models have been pretrained on Imagenet, they all have output layers of size 1000, one node for each class. The goal here is to reshape the last layer to have the same number of inputs as before, AND to have the same number of outputs as the number of classes in the dataset. In the following sections we will discuss how to alter the architecture of each model individually. But first, there is one important detail regarding the difference between finetuning and feature-extraction. When feature extracting, we only want to update the parameters of the last layer, or in other words, we only want to update the parameters for the layer(s) we are reshaping. Therefore, we do not need to compute the gradients of the parameters that we are not changing, so for efficiency we set the .requires_grad attribute to False. This is important because by default, this attribute is set to True. Then, when we initialize the new layer and by default the new parameters have ``.requires_grad=True`` so only the new layer’s parameters will be updated. When we are finetuning we can leave all of the .required_grad’s set to the default of True. Finally, notice that inception_v3 requires the input size to be (299,299), whereas all of the other models expect (224,224). Resnet ~~~~~~ Resnet was introduced in the paper `Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition `__. There are several variants of different sizes, including Resnet18, Resnet34, Resnet50, Resnet101, and Resnet152, all of which are available from torchvision models. Here we use Resnet18, as our dataset is small and only has two classes. When we print the model, we see that the last layer is a fully connected layer as shown below: :: (fc): Linear(in_features=512, out_features=1000, bias=True) Thus, we must reinitialize ``model.fc`` to be a Linear layer with 512 input features and 2 output features with: :: model.fc = nn.Linear(512, num_classes) Alexnet ~~~~~~~ Alexnet was introduced in the paper `ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks `__ and was the first very successful CNN on the ImageNet dataset. When we print the model architecture, we see the model output comes from the 6th layer of the classifier :: (classifier): Sequential( ... (6): Linear(in_features=4096, out_features=1000, bias=True) ) To use the model with our dataset we reinitialize this layer as :: model.classifier[6] = nn.Linear(4096,num_classes) VGG ~~~ VGG was introduced in the paper `Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition `__. Torchvision offers eight versions of VGG with various lengths and some that have batch normalizations layers. Here we use VGG-11 with batch normalization. The output layer is similar to Alexnet, i.e. :: (classifier): Sequential( ... (6): Linear(in_features=4096, out_features=1000, bias=True) ) Therefore, we use the same technique to modify the output layer :: model.classifier[6] = nn.Linear(4096,num_classes) Squeezenet ~~~~~~~~~~ The Squeeznet architecture is described in the paper `SqueezeNet: AlexNet-level accuracy with 50x fewer parameters and <0.5MB model size `__ and uses a different output structure than any of the other models shown here. Torchvision has two versions of Squeezenet, we use version 1.0. The output comes from a 1x1 convolutional layer which is the 1st layer of the classifier: :: (classifier): Sequential( (0): Dropout(p=0.5) (1): Conv2d(512, 1000, kernel_size=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1)) (2): ReLU(inplace) (3): AvgPool2d(kernel_size=13, stride=1, padding=0) ) To modify the network, we reinitialize the Conv2d layer to have an output feature map of depth 2 as :: model.classifier[1] = nn.Conv2d(512, num_classes, kernel_size=(1,1), stride=(1,1)) Densenet ~~~~~~~~ Densenet was introduced in the paper `Densely Connected Convolutional Networks `__. Torchvision has four variants of Densenet but here we only use Densenet-121. The output layer is a linear layer with 1024 input features: :: (classifier): Linear(in_features=1024, out_features=1000, bias=True) To reshape the network, we reinitialize the classifier’s linear layer as :: model.classifier = nn.Linear(1024, num_classes) Inception v3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, Inception v3 was first described in `Rethinking the Inception Architecture for Computer Vision `__. This network is unique because it has two output layers when training. The second output is known as an auxiliary output and is contained in the AuxLogits part of the network. The primary output is a linear layer at the end of the network. Note, when testing we only consider the primary output. The auxiliary output and primary output of the loaded model are printed as: :: (AuxLogits): InceptionAux( ... (fc): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=1000, bias=True) ) ... (fc): Linear(in_features=2048, out_features=1000, bias=True) To finetune this model we must reshape both layers. This is accomplished with the following :: model.AuxLogits.fc = nn.Linear(768, num_classes) model.fc = nn.Linear(2048, num_classes) Notice, many of the models have similar output structures, but each must be handled slightly differently. Also, check out the printed model architecture of the reshaped network and make sure the number of output features is the same as the number of classes in the dataset. .. code-block:: python def initialize_model(model_name, num_classes, feature_extract, use_pretrained=True): # Initialize these variables which will be set in this if statement.

Notice, the models were pretrained with the hard-coded normalization values, as described `here `__. .. code-block:: python # Data augmentation and normalization for training # Just normalization for validation data_transforms = { 'train': transforms.Compose([ transforms.RandomResizedCrop(input_size), transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]) ]), 'val': transforms.Compose([ transforms.Resize(input_size), transforms.CenterCrop(input_size), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]) ]), } print("Initializing Datasets and Dataloaders...") # Create training and validation datasets image_datasets = {x: datasets.ImageFolder(os.path.join(data_dir, x), data_transforms[x]) for x in ['train', 'val']} # Create training and validation dataloaders dataloaders_dict = {x: torch.utils.data.DataLoader(image_datasets[x], batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True, num_workers=4) for x in ['train', 'val']} # Detect if we have a GPU available device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu") .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out Out: .. code-block:: none Initializing Datasets and Dataloaders... Create the Optimizer -------------------- Now that the model structure is correct, the final step for finetuning and feature extracting is to create an optimizer that only updates the desired parameters. Recall that after loading the pretrained model, but before reshaping, if ``feature_extract=True`` we manually set all of the parameter’s ``.requires_grad`` attributes to False. Then the reinitialized layer’s parameters have ``.requires_grad=True`` by default. So now we know that *all parameters that have .requires_grad=True should be optimized.* Next, we make a list of such parameters and input this list to the SGD algorithm constructor. To verify this, check out the printed parameters to learn. When finetuning, this list should be long and include all of the model parameters. However, when feature extracting this list should be short and only include the weights and biases of the reshaped layers. .. code-block:: python # Send the model to GPU model_ft = model_ft.to(device) # Gather the parameters to be optimized/updated in this run. If we are # finetuning we will be updating all parameters. However, if we are # doing feature extract method, we will only update the parameters # that we have just initialized, i.e. the parameters with requires_grad # is True. params_to_update = model_ft.parameters() print("Params to learn:") if feature_extract: params_to_update = [] for name,param in model_ft.named_parameters(): if param.requires_grad == True: params_to_update.append(param) print("\t",name) else: for name,param in model_ft.named_parameters(): if param.requires_grad == True: print("\t",name) # Observe that all parameters are being optimized optimizer_ft = optim.SGD(params_to_update, lr=0.001, momentum=0.9) .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out Out: .. code-block:: none Params to learn: classifier.1.weight classifier.1.bias Run Training and Validation Step -------------------------------- Finally, the last step is to setup the loss for the model, then run the training and validation function for the set number of epochs. Notice, depending on the number of epochs this step may take a while on a CPU. Also, the default learning rate is not optimal for all of the models, so to achieve maximum accuracy it would be necessary to tune for each model separately. .. code-block:: python # Setup the loss fxn criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss() # Train and evaluate model_ft, hist = train_model(model_ft, dataloaders_dict, criterion, optimizer_ft, num_epochs=num_epochs, is_inception=(model_name=="inception")) .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out Out: .. code-block:: none Epoch 0/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.5176 Acc: 0.7664 val Loss: 0.3147 Acc: 0.9020 Epoch 1/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.2813 Acc: 0.8975 val Loss: 0.2945 Acc: 0.9150 Epoch 2/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.2146 Acc: 0.9057 val Loss: 0.2933 Acc: 0.9085 Epoch 3/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1909 Acc: 0.9262 val Loss: 0.2711 Acc: 0.9281 Epoch 4/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1911 Acc: 0.9139 val Loss: 0.2665 Acc: 0.9281 Epoch 5/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1514 Acc: 0.9262 val Loss: 0.2724 Acc: 0.9216 Epoch 6/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1847 Acc: 0.9303 val Loss: 0.2922 Acc: 0.9216 Epoch 7/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1551 Acc: 0.9344 val Loss: 0.2915 Acc: 0.9150 Epoch 8/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1463 Acc: 0.9303 val Loss: 0.3278 Acc: 0.9150 Epoch 9/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1574 Acc: 0.9426 val Loss: 0.2975 Acc: 0.9216 Epoch 10/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1775 Acc: 0.9303 val Loss: 0.2908 Acc: 0.9281 Epoch 11/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1150 Acc: 0.9672 val Loss: 0.2971 Acc: 0.9346 Epoch 12/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1018 Acc: 0.9508 val Loss: 0.3148 Acc: 0.9216 Epoch 13/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1648 Acc: 0.9057 val Loss: 0.3816 Acc: 0.8954 Epoch 14/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.1610 Acc: 0.9467 val Loss: 0.3417 Acc: 0.9216 Training complete in 0m 22s Best val Acc: 0.934641 Comparison with Model Trained from Scratch ------------------------------------------ Just for fun, lets see how the model learns if we do not use transfer learning. The performance of finetuning vs. feature extracting depends largely on the dataset but in general both transfer learning methods produce favorable results in terms of training time and overall accuracy versus a model trained from scratch. .. code-block:: python # Initialize the non-pretrained version of the model used for this run scratch_model,_ = initialize_model(model_name, num_classes, feature_extract=False, use_pretrained=False) scratch_model = scratch_model.to(device) scratch_optimizer = optim.SGD(scratch_model.parameters(), lr=0.001, momentum=0.9) scratch_criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss() _,scratch_hist = train_model(scratch_model, dataloaders_dict, scratch_criterion, scratch_optimizer, num_epochs=num_epochs, is_inception=(model_name=="inception")) # Plot the training curves of validation accuracy vs. number # of training epochs for the transfer learning method and # the model trained from scratch ohist = [] shist = [] ohist = [h.cpu().numpy() for h in hist] shist = [h.cpu().numpy() for h in scratch_hist] plt.title("Validation Accuracy vs. Number of Training Epochs") plt.xlabel("Training Epochs") plt.ylabel("Validation Accuracy") plt.plot(range(1,num_epochs+1),ohist,label="Pretrained") plt.plot(range(1,num_epochs+1),shist,label="Scratch") plt.ylim((0,1.)) plt.xticks(np.arange(1, num_epochs+1, 1.0)) plt.legend() plt.show() .. image:: /beginner/images/sphx_glr_finetuning_torchvision_models_tutorial_001.png :class: sphx-glr-single-img .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out Out: .. code-block:: none Epoch 0/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6997 Acc: 0.4672 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 1/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6899 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6939 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 2/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6849 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 3/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5000 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 4/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6922 Acc: 0.5000 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 5/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6845 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.7029 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 6/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6940 Acc: 0.5082 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 7/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 8/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 9/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6932 Acc: 0.4959 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 10/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 11/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6932 Acc: 0.5000 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 12/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6932 Acc: 0.5000 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 13/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5041 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Epoch 14/14 ---------- train Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.5123 val Loss: 0.6931 Acc: 0.4575 Training complete in 0m 32s Best val Acc: 0.457516 Final Thoughts and Where to Go Next ----------------------------------- Try running some of the other models and see how good the accuracy gets. Also, notice that feature extracting takes less time because in the backward pass we do not have to calculate most of the gradients. There are many places to go from here. You could: - Run this code with a harder dataset and see some more benefits of transfer learning - Using the methods described here, use transfer learning to update a different model, perhaps in a new domain (i.e. NLP, audio, etc.) - Once you are happy with a model, you can export it as an ONNX model, or trace it using the hybrid frontend for more speed and optimization opportunities. **Total running time of the script:** ( 0 minutes 54.503 seconds) .. _sphx_glr_download_beginner_finetuning_torchvision_models_tutorial.py: .. only :: html .. container:: sphx-glr-footer :class: sphx-glr-footer-example .. container:: sphx-glr-download :download:`Download Python source code: finetuning_torchvision_models_tutorial.py ` .. container:: sphx-glr-download :download:`Download Jupyter notebook: finetuning_torchvision_models_tutorial.ipynb ` .. only:: html .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-signature `Gallery generated by Sphinx-Gallery `_
