Quick Start
1. Visualize the inverted samples
Results will be saved as checkpoints/datafree-cmi/synthetic-cmi_for_vis.png
bash scripts/cmi/cmi_cifar10_for_vis.sh
2. Reproduce our results
Note: This repo was refactored from our experimental code and is still under development. I'm struggling to find the appropriate hyperparams for every methods (°ー°〃). So far, we only provide the hyperparameters to reproduce CIFAR-10 results for wrn-40-2 => wrn-16-1. You may need to tune the hyper-parameters for other models and datasets. More resources will be uploaded in the future update.
To reproduce our results, please download pre-trained teacher models from Dropbox-Models (266 MB) and extract them as checkpoints/pretrained
. Also a pre-inverted data set with ~50k samples is available for wrn-40-2 teacher on CIFAR-10. You can download it from Dropbox-Data (133 MB) and extract them to run/cmi-preinverted-wrn402/
.

Non-adversarial CMI: you can train a student model on inverted data directly. It should reach the accuracy of ~87.38% on CIFAR-10 as reported in Figure 3.
bash scripts/cmi/nonadv_cmi_cifar10_wrn402_wrn161.sh
-
Adversarial CMI: or you can apply the adversarial distillation based on the pre-inverted data, where ~10k (256x40) new samples will be generated to improve the student. It should reach the accuracy of ~90.01% on CIFAR-10 as reported in Table 1.
bash scripts/cmi/adv_cmi_cifar10_wrn402_wrn161.sh
-
Scratch CMI: It is OK to run the cmi algorithm wihout any pre-inverted data, but the student may overfit to early samples due to the limited data amount. It should reach the accuracy of ~88.82% on CIFAR-10, slightly worse than our reported results (90.01%).
bash scripts/cmi/scratch_cmi_cifar10_wrn402_wrn161.sh
3. Scratch training
python train_scratch.py --model wrn40_2 --dataset cifar10 --batch-size 256 --lr 0.1 --epoch 200 --gpu 0
4. Vanilla KD
# KD with original training data (beta>0 to use hard targets)
python vanilla_kd.py --teacher wrn40_2 --student wrn16_1 --dataset cifar10 --transfer_set cifar10 --beta 0.1 --batch-size 128 --lr 0.1 --epoch 200 --gpu 0
# KD with unlabeled data
python vanilla_kd.py --teacher wrn40_2 --student wrn16_1 --dataset cifar10 --transfer_set cifar100 --beta 0 --batch-size 128 --lr 0.1 --epoch 200 --gpu 0
# KD with unlabeled data from a specified folder
python vanilla_kd.py --teacher wrn40_2 --student wrn16_1 --dataset cifar10 --transfer_set run/cmi --beta 0 --batch-size 128 --lr 0.1 --epoch 200 --gpu 0
5. Data-free KD
bash scripts/xxx/xxx.sh # e.g. scripts/zskt/zskt_cifar10_wrn402_wrn161.sh

4. Use your models/datasets
You can register your models and datasets in registry.py by modifying NORMALIZE_DICT
, MODEL_DICT
and get_dataset
. Then you can run the above commands to train your own models. As DAFL requires intermediate features from the penultimate layer, your model should accept an return_features=True
parameter and return a (logits, features) tuple for DAFL.
5. Implement your algorithms
Your algorithms should inherent datafree.synthesis.BaseSynthesizer
to implement two interfaces: 1) BaseSynthesizer.synthesize
takes several steps to craft new samples and return an image dict for visualization; 2) BaseSynthesizer.sample
fetches a batch of training data for KD.
