Preparation
The reported results in the paper were obtained with models trained with 16 NVIDIA A100 GPUs using Python3.6 and the following packages
torch==1.9.0
torchvision==0.10.0
timm==0.4.12
tensorboardX==2.4
torchprofile==0.0.4
lmdb==1.2.1
pyarrow==5.0.0
These packages can be installed by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
Data preparation
Download and extract ImageNet train and val images from http://image-net.org/. The directory structure is the standard layout for the torchvision datasets.ImageFolder, and the training and validation data is expected to be in the train/ folder and val folder respectively:
/path/to/imagenet/
train/
class1/
img1.jpeg
class2/
img2.jpeg
val/
class1/
img3.jpeg
class/2
img4.jpeg
We use the same datasets as in DeiT. You can optionally use an LMDB dataset for ImageNet by building it using folder2lmdb.py and passing --use-lmdb to main.py, which may speed up data loading.
Usage
First, clone the repository locally:
git clone https://github.com/youweiliang/evit.git
Change directory to the cloned repository by running cd evit, install necessary packages, and prepare the datasets.
Training
To train EViT/0.7-DeiT-S on ImageNet, set the datapath (path to dataset) and logdir (logging directory) in run_code.sh properly and run bash ./run_code.sh (--nproc_per_node should be modified if necessary). Note that the batch size in the paper is 16x128=2048.
Set --base_keep_rate in run_code.sh to use a different keep rate, and set --fuse_token to configure whether to use inattentive token fusion.
Training/Finetuning on higher resolution images
To training on images with a (higher) resolution h, set --input-size h in run_code.sh.
Multinode training
Please refer to DeiT for multinode training.
Finetuning
First set the datapath, logdir, and ckpt (the model checkpoint for finetuning) in run_code.sh, and then run bash ./finetune.sh.
Evaluation
To evaluate a pre-trained EViT/0.7-DeiT-S model on ImageNet val with a single GPU run (replacing checkpoint with the actual file):
python3 main.py --model deit_small_patch16_shrink_base --fuse_token --base_keep_rate 0.7 --eval --resume checkpoint --data-path /path/to/imagenet
You can also pass --dist-eval to use multiple GPUs for evaluation.
