Introduction

We present a method for searching architectures of a network with both binary weights and activations. When using the same binarization scheme, our searched architectures outperform binary network whose architectures are well known floating point networks.

Note: our searched architectures still achieve competitive results when compared to the state of the art without additional pretraining, new binarization schemes, or novel training methods.

Prerequisite - Docker Containers

We recommend using the below Docker container as it provides comprehensive running environment. You will need to install nvidia-docker and its related packages following instructions here.

Pull our image uploaded here using the following command.

$ docker pull killawhale/apex:latest

You can then create the container to run our code via the following command.

$ docker run --name [CONTAINER_NAME] --runtime=nvidia -it -v [HOST_FILE_DIR]:[CONTAINER_FILE_DIR] --shm-size 16g killawhale/apex:latest bash
  • [CONTAINER_NAME]: the name of the created container
  • [HOST_FILE_DIR]: the path of the directory on the host machine which you want to sync your container with
  • [CONTAINER_FILE_DIR]: the name in which the synced directory will appear inside the container

Note: For those who do not want to use the docker container, we use PyTorch 1.2, torchvision 0.5, Python 3.6, CUDA 10.0, and Apex 0.1. You can also refer to the provided requirements.txt.

Dataset Preparation

CIFAR10

For CIFAR10, we're using CIFAR10 provided by torchvision. Run the following command to download it.

$ python src/download_cifar10.py

This will create a directory named data and download the dataset in it.

ImageNet

For ImageNet, please follow the instructions below.

  1. download the training set for the ImageNet dataset.
$ wget http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2012/nnoupb/ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar

This may take a long time depending on your internet connection.

  1. download the validation set for the ImageNet dataset.
$ wget http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2012/nnoupb/ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar
  1. make a directory which will contain the ImageNet dataset and move your downloaded .tar files inside the directory.

  2. extract and organize the training set into different categories.

$ mkdir train && mv ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar train/ && cd train
$ tar -xvf ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar && rm -f ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar
$ find . -name "*.tar" | while read NAME ; do mkdir -p "${NAME%.tar}"; tar -xvf "${NAME}" -C "${NAME%.tar}"; rm -f "${NAME}"; done
$ cd ..
  1. do the same for the validation set as well.
$ mkdir val && mv ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar val/ && cd val && tar -xvf ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar
$ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/soumith/imagenetloader.torch/master/valprep.sh | bash
$ rm -rf ILSVR2012_img_val.tar
  1. change the synset ids to integer labels.
$ python src/prepare_imgnet.py [PATH_TO_IMAGENET]
  • [PATH_TO_IMAGENET]: the path to the directory which has the ImageNet dataset

You can optionally run the following if you only prepared the validation set.

$ python src/prepare_imgnet.py [PATH_TO_IMAGENET] --val_only

Inference with Pre-Trained Models

To reproduce the results reported in the paper, you can use the pretrained models provided here.

Note: For CIFAR10 we only share BNAS-A, as training other configurations for CIFAR10 does not take much time. For ImageNet, we currently provide all the models (BNAS-D,E,F,G,H).

For running validation on CIFAR10 using our pretrained models, use the following command.

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1; python -W ignore src/test.py --path_to_weights [PATH_TO_WEIGHTS] --arch latest_cell_zeroise --parallel
  • [PATH_TO_WEIGHTS]: the path to the downloaded pretrained weights (for CIFAR10, it's BNAS-A)

For running validation on ImageNet using our pretrained models, use the following command.

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEIVCES=0,1; python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 src/test_imagenet.py --data [PATH_TO_IMAGENET] --path_to_weights [PATH_TO_WEIGHTS] --model_config [MODEL_CONFIG]
  • [PATH_TO_IMAGENET]: the path to the directory which has the ImageNet dataset
  • [PATH_TO_WEIGHTS]: the path to the downloaded pretrained weights
  • [MODEL_CONFIG]: the model to run the validation with. Can be one of 'bnas-d', 'bnas-e', 'bnas-f', 'bnas-g', or 'bnas-h'

Expected result:

Model Reported Top-1(%) Reported Top-5(%) Reproduced Top-1(%) Reproduced Top-1(%)
BNAS-A 92.70 - ~92.39 -
BNAS-D 57.69 79.89 ~57.60 ~80.00
BNAS-E 58.76 80.61 ~58.15 ~80.16
BNAS-F 58.99 80.85 ~58.89 ~80.87
BNAS-G 59.81 81.61 ~59.39 ~81.03
BNAS-H 63.51 83.91 ~63.70 ~84.49

You can click on the links at the model name to download the corresponding model weights.

Note: the provided pretrained weights were trained with Apex along with different batch size than the ones reported in the paper (due to computation resource constraints) and hence the inference result may vary slightly from the reported results in the paper.

More comparison with state of the art binary networks are in the paper.

Searching Architectures

To search architectures, use the following command.

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0; python -W ignore src/search.py --save [ARCH_NAME]
  • [ARCH_NAME]: the name of the searched architecture

This will automatically append the searched architecture in the genotypes.py file. Note that two genotypes will be appended, one for CIFAR10 and one for ImageNet. The validation accuracy at the end of the search is not indicative of the final performance of the searched architecture. To obtain the final performance, one must train the final architecture from scratch as described next.

Training Searched Architectures from scratch

To train our best searched cell on CIFAR10, use the following command.

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -W ignore src/train.py --learning_rate 0.05 --save [SAVE_NAME] --arch latest_cell_zeroise --parallel 
  • [SAVE_NAME]: experiment name

You will be able to see the validation accuracy at every epoch as shown below and there is no need to run a separate inference code.

You should expect around 92% validation accuracy with our best searched cell once the training is finished at 600 epochs. To train custom architectures, give custom architectures to the --arch flag after adding it in the genotypes.py file. Note that you can also change the number of cells stacked and number of initial channels of the model by giving arguments to the --layers option and --init_channels option respectively.

With different architectures, the final network will have different computational costs and the default hyperparameters may not be optimal (such as the learning rate scheduling). Thus, you should expect the final accuracy to vary by around 1~1.5% on the validation accuracy on CIFAR10.

To train our best searched cell on ImageNet, use the following command.

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 src/train_imagenet.py --data [PATH_TO_IMAGENET] --arch latest_cell --model_config [MODEL_CONFIG] --save [SAVE_NAME]

You should expect similar accuracy to our pretrained models once the training is finished at 250 epochs.

To train custom architectures, give custom architectures to the --arch flag after adding it in the genotypes.py file as. Note that you can also change the number of cells stacked and number of initial channels of the model by giving arguments to the --layers option and --init_channels option respectively.

With different architectures, the final network will have different computational costs and the default hyperparameters may not be optimal (such as the learning rate scheduling). Thus, you should expect the final accuracy to vary by around 0.2% on the validation accuracy on ImageNet.

Note: we ran our experiments with at least two NVIDIA V100s. For running on a single GPU, omit the --parallel flag and specify the GPU id using the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable in the command line.

    Hi! Thanks for your excellent contribution to the community! I faces a problem when I tried to simply run your code (search or inference ). It raised " TypeError:forward() missing 1 required positinal argument: 'x' " . This problem probably is in model_search.py line 136 & line 124. Can you take a look at it ?

  • Something wrong about selecting which convs to be binaried

    Something wrong about selecting which convs to be binaried

    In bin_utils_search.py, line 24-30; there is something wrong about selecting which convolution kernels to be binaried. The right way is to choose the 8 * 14 * 4=448 convolutions to be binaried(8 is the number of cells, 14 is the number of lines in a cell, 4 is the options for different convolutions in one line). However, the code choose the top 448 convolutions to be binaried(including res, prepocess0, preprocess1). The cause is that n here has no effect to distinguish. I hope your reply!
