Overview

Not All Unlabeled Data are Equal:
Learning to Weight Data in Semi-supervised Learning

Overview

This code is for paper: Not All Unlabeled Data are Equal: Learning to Weight Data in Semi-supervised Learning. Zhongzheng Ren*, Raymond A. Yeh*, Alexander G. Schwing. NeurIPS'20. (*equal contribtion)

Setup

Important: ML_DATA is a shell environment variable that should point to the location where the datasets are installed. See the Install datasets section for more details.
Environement*: this code is tested using python-3.7, anaconda3-5.0.1, cuda-10.0, cudnn-v7.6, tensorflow-1.15

Install dependencies

conda create -n semi-sup python=3.7
conda activate semi-sup
pip install -r requirements.txt

make sure tf.test.is_gpu_available() == True after installation so that GPUs will be used.

Install datasets

export ML_DATA="path to where you want the datasets saved"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"path to this repo"

# Download datasets
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= ./scripts/create_datasets.py
cp $ML_DATA/svhn-test.tfrecord $ML_DATA/svhn_noextra-test.tfrecord

# Create unlabeled datasets
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_unlabeled.py $ML_DATA/SSL2/cifar10 $ML_DATA/cifar10-train.tfrecord
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_unlabeled.py $ML_DATA/SSL2/svhn $ML_DATA/svhn-train.tfrecord $ML_DATA/svhn-extra.tfrecord
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_unlabeled.py $ML_DATA/SSL2/svhn_noextra $ML_DATA/svhn-train.tfrecord

# Create semi-supervised subsets
for seed in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do
    for size in 250 1000 4000; do
        CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_split.py --seed=$seed --size=$size $ML_DATA/SSL2/cifar10 $ML_DATA/cifar10-train.tfrecord
        CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_split.py --seed=$seed --size=$size $ML_DATA/SSL2/svhn $ML_DATA/svhn-train.tfrecord $ML_DATA/svhn-extra.tfrecord
        CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES= scripts/create_split.py --seed=$seed --size=$size $ML_DATA/SSL2/svhn_noextra $ML_DATA/svhn-train.tfrecord
    done
done

Running

Setup

All commands must be ran from the project root. The following environment variables must be defined:

export ML_DATA="path to where you want the datasets saved"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"path to this repo"

Example

For example, train a model with 32 filters on cifar10 shuffled with seed=1, 250 labeled samples and 1000 validation sample:

# single-gpu
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py --filters=32 [email protected] --train_dir ./experiments

# multi-gpu: just pass more GPUs and the model automatically scales to them, here we assign GPUs 0-1 to the program:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python main.py --filters=32 [email protected] --train_dir ./experiments

Naming rule: ${dataset}.${seed}@${size}-${valid}
Available labelled sizes are 250, 1000, 4000.
For validation, available sizes are 1000, 5000.
Possible shuffling seeds are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0 for no shuffling (0 is not used in practiced since data requires to be shuffled for gradient descent to work properly).

Image classification

The hyper-parameters used in the paper:

# 2GPU setting is recommended
for seed in 1 2 3 4 5; do
    for size in 250 1000 4000; do
    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python main.py --filters=32 \
        --dataset=cifar10.${seed}@${size}-1000 \
        --train_dir ./experiments --alpha 0.01 --inner_steps 512
    done
done

Flags

python main.py --help
# The following option might be too slow to be really practical.
# python main.py --helpfull
# So instead I use this hack to find the flags:
fgrep -R flags.DEFINE libml main.py

Monitoring training progress

You can point tensorboard to the training folder (by default it is --train_dir=./experiments) to monitor the training process:

tensorboard.sh --port 6007 --logdir ./experiments

Checkpoint accuracy

We compute the median accuracy of the last 20 checkpoints in the paper, this is done through this code:

# Following the previous example in which we trained [email protected], extracting accuracy:
./scripts/extract_accuracy.py ./experiments/[email protected]/CTAugment_depth2_th0.80_decay0.990/FixMatch_alpha0.01_archresnet_batch64_confidence0.95_filters32_inf_warm0_inner_steps100_lr0.03_nclass10_repeat4_scales3_size_unlabeled49000_uratio7_wd0.0005_wu1.0
# The command above will create a stats/accuracy.json file in the model folder.
# The format is JSON so you can either see its content as a text file or process it to your liking.

Use you own data

You first need to creat *.tfrecord for the labeled and unlabled data; please check scripts/create_datasets.py and scripts/create_unlabeled.py for examples.
Then you need to creat the splits for semi-supervied learning; see scripts/create_split.py.
modify libml/data.py to support the new dataset. Specifically, check this function and this class.
tune hyper-parameters (e.g., learning rate, num_epochs, etc.) to achieve the best results.

Note: our algorithm involves approximation of inverse-Hessian and computation of per-example gradients. Therefore, running on a dataset with large number of classes will be computationally heavy in terms of both speed and memory.
