PyTorch implementation of Wide Residual Networks with 1-bit weights by McDonnell (ICLR 2018)

Overview

1-bit Wide ResNet

PyTorch implementation of training 1-bit Wide ResNets from this paper:

Training wide residual networks for deployment using a single bit for each weight by Mark D. McDonnell at ICLR 2018

https://openreview.net/forum?id=rytNfI1AZ

https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08530

The idea is very simple but surprisingly effective for training ResNets with binary weights. Here is the proposed weight parameterization as PyTorch autograd function:

class ForwardSign(torch.autograd.Function):
    @staticmethod
    def forward(ctx, w):
        return math.sqrt(2. / (w.shape[1] * w.shape[2] * w.shape[3])) * w.sign()

    @staticmethod
    def backward(ctx, g):
        return g

On forward, we take sign of the weights and scale it by He-init constant. On backward, we propagate gradient without changes. WRN-20-10 trained with such parameterization is only slightly off from it's full precision variant, here is what I got myself with this code on CIFAR-100:

network	accuracy (5 runs mean +- std)	checkpoint (Mb)
WRN-20-10	80.5 +- 0.24	205 Mb
WRN-20-10-1bit	80.0 +- 0.26	3.5 Mb

Details

Here are the differences with WRN code https://github.com/szagoruyko/wide-residual-networks:

BatchNorm has no affine weight and bias parameters
First layer has 16 * width channels
Last fc layer is removed in favor of 1x1 conv + F.avg_pool2d
Downsample is done by F.avg_pool2d + torch.cat instead of strided conv
SGD with cosine annealing and warm restarts

I used PyTorch 0.4.1 and Python 3.6 to run the code.

Reproduce WRN-20-10 with 1-bit training on CIFAR-100:

python main.py --binarize --save ./logs/WRN-20-10-1bit_$RANDOM --width 10 --dataset CIFAR100

Convergence plot (train error in dash):

I've also put 3.5 Mb checkpoint with binary weights packed with np.packbits, and a very short script to evaluate it:

python evaluate_packed.py --checkpoint wrn20-10-1bit-packed.pth.tar --width 10 --dataset CIFAR100

checkpoint file size

Hello,

I ran the code using the command in the readme file but noticed the checkpoint file size is > 200mb.

The parsed options has: 'binarize': True

Have I misunderstood something or should the checkpoints be 3.5mb?

Thanks
