In this tutorial, you will learn how to train a convolutional neural network for image classification using transfer learning. You can read more about the transfer learning at cs231n notes
Quoting these notes, >In practice, very few people train an entire Convolutional Network from scratch (with random initialization), because it is relatively rare to have a dataset of sufficient size. Instead, it is common to pretrain a ConvNet on a very large dataset (e.g. ImageNet, which contains 1.2 million images with 1000 categories), and then use the ConvNet either as an initialization or a fixed feature extractor for the task of interest.
These two major transfer learning scenarios look as follows: * Finetuning the convnet: Instead of random initializaion, we initialize the network with a pretrained network, like the one that is trained on imagenet 1000 dataset. Rest of the training looks as usual. * ConvNet as fixed feature extractor: Here, we will freeze the weights for all of the network except that of the final fully connected layer. This last fully connected layer is replaced with a new one with random weights and only this layer is trained.

Load Data

We will use torchvision and torch.utils.data packages for loading the data.

The problem we’re going to solve today is to train a model to classify ants and bees. We have about 120 training images each for ants and bees. There are 75 validation images for each class. Usually, this is a very small dataset to generalize upon, if trained from scratch. Since we are using transfer learning, we should be able to generalize reasonably well.
# Data augmentation and normalization for training # Just normalization for validation data_transforms = { 'train': transforms.Compose([ transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224), transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]) ]), 'val': transforms.Compose([ transforms.Resize(256), transforms.CenterCrop(224), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]) ]), }
data_dir = 'data/hymenoptera_data' image_datasets = {x: datasets.ImageFolder(os.path.join(data_dir, x), data_transforms[x]) for x in ['train', 'val']} dataloaders = {x: torch.utils.data.DataLoader(image_datasets[x], batch_size=4, shuffle=True, num_workers=4) for x in ['train', 'val']} dataset_sizes = {x: len(image_datasets[x]) for x in ['train', 'val']} class_names = image_datasets['train'].classes
device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
Visualize a few images
可视化图像
Let’s visualize a few training images so as to understand the data augmentations.
defimshow(inp, title=None): """Imshow for Tensor.""" inp = inp.numpy().transpose((1, 2, 0)) mean = np.array([0.485, 0.456, 0.406]) std = np.array([0.229, 0.224, 0.225]) inp = std * inp + mean inp = np.clip(inp, 0, 1) plt.imshow(inp) if title isnotNone: plt.title(title) plt.pause(0.001) # pause a bit so that plots are updated
# Get a batch of training data inputs, classes = next(iter(dataloaders['train']))
# Make a grid from batch out = torchvision.utils.make_grid(inputs)
imshow(out, title=[class_names[x] for x in classes])
Training the model
训练模型
Now, let’s write a general function to train a model. Here, we will illustrate: * Scheduling the learning rate * Saving the best model
现在,让我们编写一个通用函数来训练一个模型。将实现以下功能:

保存最佳模型
In the following, parameter scheduler is an LR scheduler object from torch.optim.lr_scheduler.
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'): outputs = model(inputs) _, preds = torch.max(outputs, 1) loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
# backward + optimize only if in training phase if phase =='train': loss.backward() optimizer.step()

It should take around 15-25 min on CPU. On GPU though, it takes less than a minute.
Here, we need to freeze all the network except the final layer. We need to set requires_grad == False to freeze the parameters so that the gradients are not computed in backward().

On CPU this will take about half the time compared to previous scenario. This is expected as gradients don’t need to be computed for most of the network. However, forward does need to be computed.
