MobileNetV2 Description

MobileNetV2 is tuned to mobile phone CPUs through a combination of hardware- aware network architecture search (NAS) complemented by the NetAdapt algorithm and then subsequently improved through novel architecture advances.Nov 20, 2019.

Paper Howard, Andrew, Mark Sandler, Grace Chu, Liang-Chieh Chen, Bo Chen, Mingxing Tan, Weijun Wang et al. "Searching for MobileNetV2." In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, pp. 1314-1324. 2019.

This is the quantitative network of MobileNetV2.

Model architecture

The overall network architecture of MobileNetV2 is show below:

Dataset

Dataset used: imagenet

• Dataset size: ~125G, 1.2W colorful images in 1000 classes
  • Train: 120G, 1.2W images
  • Test: 5G, 50000 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:

• bash run_train.sh [Ascend] [RANK_TABLE_FILE] [DATASET_PATH] [PRETRAINED_CKPT_PATH](optional)
• bash run_train.sh [GPU] [DEVICE_ID_LIST] [DATASET_PATH] [PRETRAINED_CKPT_PATH](optional)

Launch

  # training example
  >>> bash run_train.sh Ascend ~/hccl_4p_0123_x.x.x.x.json ~/imagenet/train/ ~/mobilenet.ckpt
  >>> bash run_train.sh GPU 1,2 ~/imagenet/train/ ~/mobilenet.ckpt

Result

Training result will be stored in the example path. Checkpoints trained by Ascend will be stored at ./train/device$i/checkpoint by default, and training log will be redirected to ./train/device$i/train.log. Checkpoints trained by GPU will be stored in ./train/checkpointckpt_$i by default, and training log will be redirected to ./train/train.log.
train.log is as follows:

epoch: [  0/200], step:[  624/  625], loss:[5.258/5.258], time:[140412.236], lr:[0.100]
epoch time: 140522.500, per step time: 224.836, avg loss: 5.258
epoch: [  1/200], step:[  624/  625], loss:[3.917/3.917], time:[138221.250], lr:[0.200]
epoch time: 138331.250, per step time: 221.330, avg loss: 3.917

Eval process

Usage

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

• Ascend: sh run_infer_quant.sh Ascend [DATASET_PATH] [CHECKPOINT_PATH]

Launch

# infer example
  shell:
      Ascend: sh run_infer_quant.sh Ascend ~/imagenet/val/ ~/train/mobilenet-60_1601.ckpt

checkpoint can be produced in training process.

Result

Inference result will be stored in the example path, you can find result like the followings in ./val/infer.log.

result: {'acc': 0.71976314102564111}
