The performance improvements in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) through the assembly of various techniques can significantly enhance image classification accuracy. This article will guide you step by step on how to implement the assembled ResNet-50 and ensure optimal results.
What You Need to Get Started
- TensorFlow 2.1
- CUDA 10.0
- Python 3.6
Make sure you have the correct versions installed before diving into the implementation.
Requirements
To begin, you’ll need to install several necessary libraries. Here’s how you can do it:
bash
pip install Pillow sklearn requests Wand tqdm
Data Preparation
Ensure you have the following data ready:
- ImageNet 2012 raw images and TFRecord
- For knowledge distillation, add the teacher’s logits as per instructions in the repository.
- Transfer learning datasets and relevant scripts available here.
- The pretrained model is accessible here.
How to Reproduce Results
To replicate the performance improvements with the Assemble-ResNet50 model, follow these command prompts. Think of it like preparing a gourmet meal – you need to gather your ingredients and combine them in the right way.
bash
DATA_DIR=path_to_imagenet_2012_tfrecord
MODEL_DIR=path_to_Assemble-ResNet50_checkpoint
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python main_classification.py --eval_only=True --dataset_name=imagenet --data_dir=$DATA_DIR --model_dir=$MODEL_DIR --preprocessing_type=imagenet_224_256 --resnet_version=2 --resnet_size=50 --use_sk_block=True --use_resnet_d=False --anti_alias_type=sconv --anti_alias_filter_size=3
Training From Scratch
If you want to train your model from scratch, use the following command:
console
$ .scripts/train_vanilla_from_scratch.sh
This will help establish a solid foundation for your model like a strong base of a building.
Troubleshooting Tips
While your model should train smoothly, issues may arise. Here are some common troubleshooting steps:
- Installation Errors: Ensure all software (TensorFlow, CUDA, Python) versions are correct.
- Data Loading Issues: Make sure your data paths are accurately set. Double-check if your TFRecord files are not corrupted.
- Model Training Fails: Verify that your command lines are accurate and follow the correct syntax without typos.
